2013 Fountaine Pajot Mahe 36 Evolution

On this Mahé 36 Evolution, life flows easily between the cockpit and saloon thanks to the wide sliding door and single-level living space. The rigid bimini keeps the helm and social area dry in a squall yet open to the breeze at anchor. Visibility from the raised steering position gives you a clear view of both bows when docking, a real confidence boost in tight marinas. Inside, the natural light is striking for a 36-footer, and the three-cabin layout means you can host another couple and still keep a dedicated owner’s hull. Under sail, the light displacement and generous sail plan reward you with responsive, effortless passages.

This Mahé 36 Evolution is particularly well suited to mixed cruising grounds where you’ll alternate between shallow anchorages and longer coastal hops. The moderate draft opens up quiet bays that monohulls of similar length can’t comfortably reach, while the twin engines make close-quarters maneuvering around crowded docks far less stressful. The protected cockpit and secure side decks inspire confidence when conditions kick up, and the efficient sail plan keeps passages swift without demanding a large crew. Add in the economical diesel consumption and low-maintenance fiberglass construction, and you have a capable platform for extended seasonal cruising in varied local waters.
