Perfect for a liveaboard lifestyle or extended cruising, S/V French Kiss is a rare chance to step into the sailing dream without breaking the bank. Designed by the legendary Joubert-Nivelt for Fountaine Pajot, this Maldives 32 delivers a bright, open saloon and huge outdoor living areas that feel way bigger than her length. Wide, stable twin hulls mean gentle motion at anchor and under sail, so friends and family can actually enjoy the ride. When the breeze fills in, French Kiss slips along quietly — that classic sailing feel without needing a big, intimidating yacht. New hull paint, electric engine, sails, and rigging mean she's ready to go.
Light and Lively
Versatile Design
The Maldives 32 functions as both a sailing yacht and motor yacht, giving owners flexibility in how they cruise.
Compact - Spacious Feel
Clever design maximizes interior volume and comfort within a manageable footprint.
Stable and Safe
The catamaran hulls offer excellent stability, reducing heel, and enhancing safety for families and less experienced sailors.
Ease of Handling
Lightweight construction and modern rigging make it accessible for single or short-handed sailing.
Ideal for a Liveaboard Lifestyle or Extended Cruising
By afternoon you’re snorkeling or scuba diving off the transom, paddle-boarding from the wide swim steps, sprawling out on the forward trampoline with a book, or sharing a bottle of wine in the cockpit as the sun drops.
