Fountaine Pajot MY 44: Brand-New Large and Luxurious Power Cat

Google+ Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr +

You won’t be lonely on this new Fountaine Pajot MY 44 power catamaran. It comes with three staterooms, all with en suite heads, an absolutely enormous salon and flybridge, and lounges fore and aft. You can embark on some blue-water extended cruising with a lot of your friends, and you can do some serious entertaining with a larger crowd closer to home.

The Fountaine Pajot MY 44 was just introduced at the Dusseldorf boat show in January. It is now undergoing sea trials off La Rochelle, France, and it’s scheduled to appear in the U.S. before the end of the year. For all its space for easy living and socializing, this new cat from the respected French company is built to perform in any sea condition, and it is designed both for comfort (the twin hulls work against rolling, at anchor or underway) and efficiency: with standard twin 350-hp Volvo diesels and IPS drives the range is 1,000 nm. Volvo’s IPS joystick provides fingertip low-speed maneuvering and easy docking.

All three staterooms are in the side hulls. The luxurious master features a sea-facing, island queen bed and views from panoramic windows in the port side. Two guest staterooms, also with large windows, are on the starboard side. A fourth private cabin forward is optional.

The salon is a large open area with wrap-around windows, the lower helm on the starboard side, seating areas to port and an aft-facing galley that opens to the cockpit. A large lounge is aft in the cockpit, while a hydraulic swim platform gives easy access to the dinghy or water sports.  The flybridge has an upper helm, sunbathing lounges and a dining table, and can be protected by an optional hardtop and enclosure. The foredeck has even more lounging areas.

Specs.: LOA: 44’0”; Beam: 21’7”; Draft: 4’3”; Disp.: 45,000 lbs.; Fuel: 528 gals.; Water: 198 gals.; Power: 2xVolvo diesels from 350- to 600-hp with IPS drives. Contact:
