No major refits.
No expensive upgrade list.
No years of projects ahead.

Just adventure.

Shambhala is a proven, extensively upgraded Fountaine Pajot Lipari 41 that has already received the improvements many buyers spend years planning and tens of thousands of dollars installing.

Over the past three years she has served as a comfortable full-time liveaboard home while cruising thousands of nautical miles throughout Southeast Asia. Every upgrade was chosen to improve reliability, self-sufficiency, comfort, and safety for long-term cruising.

TRUE OFF-GRID FREEDOM

One of Shambhala’s most impressive strengths is her exceptional energy system.

The vessel carries approximately 31kWh of lithium battery storage supported by 2880 watts of solar generation and a premium Victron energy management system.

This setup comfortably powers refrigeration, lighting, internet, Starlink connectivity, navigation electronics, watermaker operation, household appliances, and the daily demands of full-time cruising.

Unlike many cruising catamarans, Shambhala can also run her Air Marine air-conditioning system during daylight hours directly from solar and lithium power, dramatically reducing dependence on shore power or generators while cruising tropical regions.

For liveaboards, remote workers, and long-distance cruisers, this level of energy independence is a significant advantage.

DESIGNED FOR LIFE ABOARD

The Fountaine Pajot Lipari 41 has earned a worldwide reputation as one of the most successful cruising catamarans ever built.

Known for her balance of sailing performance, practical layout, storage capacity, and comfortable accommodations, she remains a favourite among couples and families seeking serious cruising capability without sacrificing comfort.

The spacious cockpit flows seamlessly into the bright panoramic saloon, creating an inviting indoor-outdoor living environment ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or spending extended periods aboard.

Large windows provide excellent visibility and natural light throughout the vessel.

At the helm, the hard bimini and full enclosure create a protected steering station that is comfortable in both tropical heat and challenging weather conditions.

Whether at anchor in a quiet bay or underway on passage, Shambhala has been equipped and maintained to make life aboard enjoyable and practical.

BEGIN YOUR ADVENTURE IN LANGKAWI

Currently berthed in beautiful Rebak Marina, Langkawi, Malaysia, Shambhala is ideally positioned for her next adventure.

Langkawi is an archipelago of tropical islands located on the west coast of Malaysia, bordering Thailand and sitting at the gateway to some of the world’s most spectacular cruising grounds. For many sailors, it is the perfect place to begin cruising life, offering protected waters, excellent marine services, and endless opportunities to build confidence before venturing further afield to Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, the Andaman Islands, or across the Indian Ocean.

Rebak Marina is widely regarded as one of Southeast Asia’s premier cruising bases, offering secure berthing, attractive mooring rates, duty-free living, a resort swimming pool, gymnasium, beach bar, restaurant, and a welcoming international cruising community.

It is a place where many cruising dreams begin and lifelong memories are made.
