The Ipanema 58 is a large, performance-oriented catamaran designed by Berret Racoupeau Yacht Design and built by Fountaine Pajot between 2015 and 2019. With a displacement of 51808.0 lb and a beam of 29.13 ft, this model represents the builder's flagship offering for owners seeking substantial interior volume combined with serious offshore credentials.

Best for:

This vessel is ideal for experienced multihull sailors seeking a bluewater cruiser with high-performance sailing characteristics and substantial living space for long-term liveaboard or extended cruising. Its fractional sloop rig and twin/triple keel options cater to those prioritizing both upwind efficiency and shallow-water access.

Bluewater capability:

With a conservative capsize ratio of 3.13 and a substantial displacement of 51808.0 lb, the Ipanema 58 is well-suited for offshore passages, supported by owner reports highlighting common installations of watermakers, solar panels, and robust anchoring systems like Quick and Lewmar.

Comparables:

Comparable vessels include the Lagoon 57 and the Fountaine Pajot Elba 45, though the Ipanema 58 distinguishes itself with a more performance-focused hull form and higher displacement than typical leisure catamarans of similar length. It competes directly with other large-production performance cats like the Outremer 5X for owners who prioritize sailing dynamics over pure resort-style comfort.
