This 2017 Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 is a fiberglass catamaran built for comfortable cruising and manageable performance. Powered by twin 80-horsepower Volvo diesel engines, the boat spans 44 feet in length with a 24-foot beam, offering the stability and space that makes this size class popular for extended voyaging. The yacht features a hard-top bimini with enclosure, providing weather protection throughout the saloon and cockpit areas.
The design prioritizes both entertaining and seamanship. A semi-raised helm station delivers excellent visibility and accommodates a lower mainsail boom, with all sail handling operated from the helm using two electric winches. The expansive cockpit surrounds a large table suitable for gathering, opening directly into the saloon through a substantial living cockpit door. The saloon includes comfortable seating, storage, a flat-screen television, and starboard access to refrigerator and freezer drawers.
The galley on the port side features a U-shaped layout with two sinks, an Eno stove with oven, and extensive counter space. Forward, a dedicated navigation station is equipped with a Garmin plotter. The starboard hull houses an office desk, master cabin, and large master head, with a Bosch washer positioned forward. The port side accommodates two guest cabins, each with private heads. The boat provides three cabins and three heads throughout.
The yacht sustained a lightning strike in 2024 and was subsequently repaired by professional services in Fort Lauderdale.
