2026 Fountaine Pajot New 44

The Fountaine Pajot New 44 is a 43-foot sailing catamaran built on a 24-foot beam, combining efficient design with practical cruising capability. The hull is fiberglass, and a single 30-horsepower auxiliary engine supports sailing operations. Designed by Berret-Racoupeau, the yacht features dual helm stations and a lightweight construction that emphasizes responsive handling and ease of operation whether sailing short-handed or with a full crew.

The interior prioritizes open living. The salon and cockpit form one continuous space anchored by a modern galley island, with natural light throughout the cabin creating a bright, contemporary feel. Below deck, the layout is flexible—the New 44 can be configured as a spacious owner's version with a private suite or as a four-cabin arrangement, with accommodations totaling five cabins and five heads across both options.

The wide beam creates expansive living areas without the footprint of a larger yacht, delivering volume and functionality efficient for extended cruising. Generous fuel and water capacities support coastal passages and extended time away from port. The design balances comfortable living space with confident sailing performance, making the New 44 suitable for both private ownership and charter use.
