ON THE LEVEL is a beautifully maintained Fountaine Pajot Athena 38 cruising catamaran -- fully equipped and ready for you to step aboard and start living the dream.
Previously under offer, the vessel is now back on the market after the buyer found it wasn't the right fit for their needs. On The Level is currently located in Townsville, QLD.
With a strong bluewater pedigree, this vessel has completed several major ocean passages in its earlier years -- including crossings from the Mediterranean, Thailand, and New Zealand. More recently, she has spent the past five years coastal cruising, exploring the remote Torres Strait Islands, countless reefs, and sand cays along the Great Barrier Reef.
The Athena 38 is a well-regarded design, with 240 hulls built, known for its sailing performance, stability, and livability. Built with solid GRP and a PVC foam core sandwich, On The Level features a four-cabin layout, a galley-up design, and a spacious covered cockpit -- perfect for entertaining or lounging on the sunbed. Whether you're sailing solo, as a couple, or with a young family, there's ample space and comfort onboard.
Extensive upgrades have transformed this vessel into a true liveaboard home, offering all the creature comforts needed for extended time away from shore.
Now is your opportunity to own a solid, stylish, and capable cruising catamaran with timeless lines and a modern look that's well ahead of its time.
