No Brainer is a beautifully outfitted 2022 Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42, Maestro (3-cabin/3-bath) layout, extensively equipped and fully turnkey.

Her owners took delivery in La Rochelle in October 2021, stored her for the winter, and launched in Spring 2022 for a Med season before crossing the Atlantic to the Caribbean. Since then, she has cruised Florida, Turks & Caicos, Boston, and the US East Coast.

The owners are stepping up to a new FP 44 and are ready to pass this exceptional Astrea on to her next adventure.

With her Comfort edition package, upgraded systems, and thoughtful cruising additions, No Brainer is ready for immediate cruising — just bring your clothes and bed sheets.
