About
Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 - Owners Version
Ready to Cruise - Located in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Australian Registered
The Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 is one of the most successful and popular catamarans ever produced by the Fountaine Pajot Shipyard in La Rochelle, France. This design has set many of today’s modern sailing catamaran standards with a balanced blend of functionality, comfort, liveability, seaworthiness and speed.
This particular Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 “Bisou” is a one-owner vessel that has been set up for long term, off grid and offshore cruising with little or no expense spared. The vessel has crossed the Atlantic with it’s double headsail/pole rig on a single roller-furler comfortably in 14 days. It is in excellent turnkey condition and is ready to go again. This vessel has been meticulously maintained by non-smoking, pet-less owners, never chartered and is immaculately clean. Recent haul out (April 2024) with Seahawk Bio-cop TF bottom paint, and polished topsides.
After ten wonderful years of cruising from Northern France the Mediterranean, and now to the Pacific Coast of Mexico the Australian owners are now advanced in years and are ready to move on to another stage of their lives.

Cal Landau went above and beyond taking care of issues that came up during the listing. I can’t say enough.
CHRIS DID A GREAT JOB TAKING PICS AND INFO ABOUT THE BOAT AND REPRESENTED IT WILL. THE SALE COMPLETED WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF LISTING!
I recently sold my boat through The Multihull Company and was very pleased with the experience. Their professionalism and efficiency made the process smooth and hassle-free. Highly recommend their services for anyone looking to buy or sell a boat!
Highly recommend Andrew Hodgdon and The Multihull Company crew. They were an amazing resource throughout the entire purchase process – organizing viewing, getting the boat under contract and surveyed, all the way through closing. Communications were consistent and straight forward. Multiple personal touches along the way to make you feel like part of the team.
Could not be happier. Conor is just a super likable guy and he walked us through the whole process and Andrew handled all the paperwork and financials and together they got me into my first catamaran! Will definitely be calling Conor again when we buy our next boat!
