The 2017 Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 is one of the most sought-after cruising catamarans on the market — and this example sits in arguably the world's most desirable sailing ground: Tahiti, French Polynesia. Already positioned for the Pacific dream, this boat needs no repositioning to start living the life. Designed by the celebrated Van Peteghem / Lauriot Prevost studio, the Helia 44 strikes a balance between performance and comfort that few production cats manage.
At 13.3 metres on the waterline with a 7.4-metre beam, the deck and interior volumes are genuinely impressive — three well-appointed cabins offer proper separation between owners and guests, while the expansive saloon and cockpit blur the line between inside and out. The shallow 1.2-metre draft opens up anchorages that deeper monohulls simply cannot access — a significant advantage in the reef-dotted waters of the South Pacific. Fountaine Pajot's build quality is well documented; the Helia 44 benefits from a proven hull design with strong secondary market demand and an active owner community.
Whether you're continuing a circumnavigation, embarking on one, or seeking a floating base in paradise, this catamaran delivers on every count. Priced at EUR $445,000, opportunities like this — right boat, right place — don't wait.
