The 2026 Fountaine Pajot New 44 is a fiberglass catamaran built for comfortable coastal and offshore cruising. Measuring 43 feet in length with a 24-foot beam, this new-build twin-hull design combines practical performance with considerate onboard layout. Twin Yanmar diesel engines produce 60 horsepower each, delivering a cruising speed of 8 knots and a maximum speed of 10 knots, with adequate power for handling in tight quarters and variable conditions.
The interior is organized around five cabins and five heads, providing substantial accommodation flexibility. The owner's configuration features a full-beam master suite in one hull, supported by guest cabins with private ensuite heads, balancing owner privacy with guest comfort. The salon and cockpit connect through wide sliding glass doors, opening the main living area to natural light and exterior views. The galley sits in a functional position for both active cruising and entertaining while anchored.
Deck spaces are distributed across multiple areas: a flybridge helm station positioned for commanding visibility, forward sun lounging, and an aft cockpit designed for dining and relaxation. The layout prioritizes ease of operation and movement whether the boat is sailed short-handed or with a full complement of guests.
The boat carries modern systems including air conditioning, a generator, solar panel integration, and a comprehensive Garmin navigation package with radar, AIS, and autopilot. These additions support autonomous cruising and reduce operational dependence on shore facilities.
