Fountaine Pajot Salina 48 Evolution

Meet BIJOUX -- French for JEWELS-- a beautifully presented and exceptionally equipped Fountaine Pajot Salina 48 Evolution that stands apart from the typical 2012 catamaran.

Designed by renowned naval architects Berret-Racoupeau and built by Fountaine Pajot, the Salina 48 Evolution is celebrated for combining sophisticated sailing performance, generous living spaces and the effortless comfort expected of a premium cruising catamaran. BIJOUX takes that platform to another level, with an extraordinary specification and an extensive program of upgrades that make her exceptionally well prepared for extended cruising, entertaining and life aboard.

This is not simply a vessel with an impressive equipment list. BIJOUX has been thoughtfully upgraded to create a genuinely turnkey cruising experience.

Step aboard and the feeling is immediately one of space, light and effortless living.

BIJOUX offers three generous double cabins, each with its own ensuite, plus additional accommodation capable of sleeping 7+ guests. The galley-up configuration keeps the chef connected to the social heart of the vessel, while the spacious saloon and expansive cockpit create multiple areas for relaxing, dining and entertaining.

Climate comfort is covered with air conditioning and Sirocco fans throughout the cabins, saloon and galley. Entertainment is equally impressive, with a comprehensive Fusion indoor and outdoor sound system, including the front deck, and multiple smart TVs throughout the vessel.

Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning coffee, hosting friends for sunset drinks or spending weeks away from shore, BIJOUX has been configured to make life aboard feel remarkably easy.

A substantial 750-litre freshwater capacity, Aquabase 60 LPH watermaker, generous refrigeration and freezer capacity, washing machine, lithium house batteries, Victron charging and inverter systems, Starlink connectivity and extensive 240V capability provide the independence and convenience required for serious cruising.


Her Northsail fully battened mainsail was replaced in 2025, while the inventory also includes a genoa, a Furling screecher/gennaker and a parasail complete with rig and Harken snuffer.
The stainless-steel rigging was renewed in 2022, complementing the fractional sloop rig, aluminium mast and swept-back double spreaders.

With twin Volvo Penta D2-55 diesel engines, approximately 2,097 hours on each engine as at August 2026, and a practical cruising speed of around 6 knots, BIJOUX offers the reassuring flexibility of both sail and reliable auxiliary power.

Built for the Water -- Maintained for the Journey

BIJOUX has benefited from a consistent program of improvements and upgrades.
The vessel was slipped in April 2022 for antifouling and anodes, while numerous systems and components have subsequently been renewed or upgraded.

The Entertainer - When the day on the water is done, BIJOUX becomes an exceptional entertaining platform.
Her expansive deck spaces, cockpit dining area, trampolines, underwater lighting, outdoor entertainment system and generous refrigeration make hosting family and friends a pleasure. The 40-inch drop-down smart TV on deck, complemented by the Fusion surround-sound system, takes sunset entertaining to another level.
And when it is time to explore the coastline, the 2024 Sirocco dinghy and 2026 9.9hp Mercury outboard provide an ideal tender combination.
