The 2015 Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 is a beautifully maintained cruising catamaran that combines comfort, performance, and self-sufficiency. The boat is designed for safe and efficient bluewater cruising. 

The layout features four cabins and four electric heads, each with a dedicated shower cubicle (one doubling as a laundry area). With large fresh water and fuel capacities and a recent antifoul in April 2025, this vessel is turn-key and ready for extended voyages.

Powered by twin Volvo Penta 55 hp diesel engines, both overhauled in late 2023 and serviced in 2024, the boat offers reliable propulsion with economical fuel consumption averaging around 3.3 liters per hour per engine. 

Her sailing inventory is impressive- an in-mast furling main, a new furling genoa and forestay (2025), plus a Code Zero and a 2023 Oxley Parasail for downwind performance. All running rigging and mooring lines were replaced in 2023, and her helm is fully enclosed for comfort in all conditions. 

The Raymarine electronics suite includes chartplotter with radar, AIS, autopilot, and Starlink satellite internet (2024), ensuring she’s equipped for global navigation and communication.

The yacht’s equipment list is extensive, offering a luxurious yet practical onboard lifestyle. She boasts a comprehensive electrical setup with 2180W of solar, a Victron 5000W inverter/charger, 990Ah of lithium house batteries, and a 160 L/h watermaker. 

The interior galley is fitted with multiple Isotherm fridges, gas cooking appliances, a microwave, espresso machine, and a full complement of 2023 kitchenware. Comfort and entertainment are enhanced with Fusion sound systems, air conditioning units, and abundant storage. 

On deck, guests enjoy a custom stainless-steel davit system, tender and outboard (both 2023), BBQ, kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, and a new trampoline. 

With updated safety gear, numerous spares, and all maintenance up to date, the Helia 44 presents in excellent condition, a ready-to-sail, fully outfitted catamaran ideal for liveaboard cruising or world voyaging.
