Fountaine Pajot Isla 40 - WANDA JEAN

3 Reasons Why WANDA JEAN [Fountaine Pajot Isla 40] Should Be On Your List

 

If you’ve spent hours scrolling through catamaran listings comparing specs, you know how easy it is to get lost in the data.

Let’s skip the headache.

Welcome aboard WANDA JEAN, a well-upgraded and professionally maintained 2021 Fountaine Pajot Isla 40. She is the highly sought-after 3-cabin Maestro (owner’s) version designed specifically with off-grid cruising in mind, and is easily one of the highest spec’d Isla 40s on the market today.

Here are the top three reasons why WANDA JEAN should be your next stop:

Reason One: Off-Grid Independence

If you’re looking to get into the cruising lifestyle, chances are you don’t want to spend most of your time hooked up to a marina pedestal. WANDA JEAN already comes equipped with all of the right systems to ensure that you enjoy your freedom out on your next adventure, all professionally installed in 2024 by the respected Harbor Marine Electric in The Florida Keys:

  • 1,640 Watt Solar Array: She comes equipped with 1,640 watts of rigid TrinaSolar panels mounted on a custom solar arch. TrinaSolar is globally renowned for making long-lasting, highly efficient panels built for harsh marine environments, and WANDA JEAN maintains her independence using four of their rigid 410-watt monocrystalline panels.
  • LiFePO4 Battery Bank: WANDA JEAN features a solid 1,280 amp-hour house bank composed of four 320 amp-hour Dakota Lithium batteries. LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) batteries outperform standard AGMs in almost every category. Not only are they lighter and charge faster, but they are also engineered to be safer, prevent thermal runaway, and last years longer.
  • Seawater Pro Watermaker: She also comes equipped with a 40-gallon-per-hour Seawater Pro water-making system. You no longer need to plan your route around pulling into marinas just to fill your water tanks; you make your own fresh water right out on the ocean, allowing you to venture further into the unknown with a much-appreciated peace of mind.

 

Reason Two: An Owner’s Layout Designed For Liveaboard Comfort

When you’re living aboard, layout can make or break the experience. WANDA JEAN features the 3-cabin, 2-head Maestro Version layout designed for liveaboard owners. Instead of the typical four-cabin charter configuration that maximizes sleeping space at the expense of daily comfort, WANDA JEAN dedicates the entire starboard hull to the owners, making her feel less like a rental and more like a true home base out on the water.

In the cockpit, your feet rest easy on her premium brown SeaDek flooring. The salon is bright, open, and features an adjustable table wrapped in a comfortable U-shaped sofa, with a 32” Samsung TV positioned for entertainment. The galley is fully equipped with everything you need, featuring a dual-basin sink, a 3-burner LPG stove, a Breville air fryer, coffee maker, and a blender, along with plenty of refrigeration and freezer space.

Down the stairs on the port side, the guest accommodations consist of two comfortable cabins. An aft island double berth and a forward V-berth that share a centrally located port head complete with a sink, shower, and a Jabsco electric flush toilet.

On the starboard side of WANDA JEAN, as you leave the salon and step down into the owner’s hull, you are greeted by a spacious double berth, dedicated workstation, centrally located head, and a large separate forward shower room. If you’re looking for a liveaboard or to spend some serious time cruising around, this is the exact setup you want to make your cruising experience as comfortable as possible.

Reason Three: A Professionally Maintained Turnkey Opportunity

Unlike many of the vessels on the market that require substantial yard time and refits, WANDA JEAN is ready to cast off for an extended offshore passage today.

The same team at Harbor Marine Electric who handled her 2024 off-grid upgrades also helped maintain her engines. WANDA JEAN is also fresh out of a full routine service in May of 2026, where she was hauled out in Fort Lauderdale for new bottom paint, saildrive servicing, and minor gelcoat touch-ups. To wrap it all up, she received a top-to-bottom detail inside and out, leaving her truly ready to go.

WANDA JEAN offers her next owners a turnkey transition into their next adventure. She is currently docked behind a private residence in Fort Lauderdale, less than 20 minutes from the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, and is available for private showings by appointment.
