The 2018 Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 Evolution Maestro is a 44-foot fiberglass catamaran powered by twin Volvo Penta D2-50 diesel engines of 100 hp combined. The boat has accumulated approximately 2,000 engine hours. It features three cabins and three heads, with the owner's suite positioned in the port hull and including a walk-in shower, desk area, and extensive storage. The layout incorporates a third-row cockpit seating area and an elevated sky lounge on the coachroof.
The catamaran is equipped with a comprehensive Raymarine navigation suite including chartplotter, radar, AIS, and autopilot. A new Bimini top and adjustable teak salon table are installed. The galley includes high-efficiency refrigeration and freezer capacity. A Highfield Classic 360 rigid tender with center console and Yamaha 25 outboard is included, along with a new parasailor spinnaker.
Off-grid capability is a central feature: the boat carries a 3,000-watt solar array mounted on a custom hardtop arch, an 800-amp-hour 24-volt lithium house bank, a high-output watermaker producing 45 gallons per hour, and an 8,000-watt inverter/charger system with generator backup. New standing rigging was installed in 2025. A CMCE Lightning Suppressor is fitted, and dual Starlink systems provide connectivity. The boat includes soft-start air conditioning and induction cooking capability.
Recent work and upgrades span new navigation systems, bimini top, rigging, and Starlink installations. The catamaran is presented as ready for extended cruising with systems optimized for long-term independent operation.
