Urteil
A modern cruising catamaran with strong liveaboard appeal, generous space, and a refined layout, the FP 44 is best suited to owners who prioritize comfort and easy family or charter use over spirited sailing. Its tradeoff is expected: volume and amenities come with a premium price and only moderate performance.
Vorteile
- +Large interior and cockpit volume for a 44-footer
- +Recent-generation design with contemporary styling
- +Well-suited to family cruising and charter layouts
- +Shallow draft broadens anchoring and cruising options
Nachteile
- −Not aimed at performance-oriented sailors
- −Wide beam can make marina berths and docking less convenient
- −Likely premium purchase price for the size class
- −Heavy cruising fit-out can limit light-air pace
The Fountaine Pajot FP 44 is a modern cruising catamaran built around space, visibility, and easy social use. At 43.5 feet with a very wide beam, it follows the brand’s current design language: large saloon windows, open cockpit-to-salon flow, and a layout that prioritizes usable living area over a lean racing profile. It has also drawn recognition in the multihull category, which supports its standing as a notable new model.
On the water, the FP 44 should be judged as a capable cruiser rather than a sporty cat. Its sail plan and twin-hull platform should deliver stable, predictable passage-making and good upwind comfort for a boat of this type, but its size, beam, and cruising-oriented displacement mean handling will be more about ease and steadiness than sharp response. Docking and maneuvering are aided by twin engines, yet the beam will still demand attention in tight marinas.
Comfort is the main strength. The model is offered with multiple cabin options and is clearly aimed at owners or charter operators needing high occupancy and privacy. The 2026 example listed with 10 guests and 6 cabins fits that brief well. Fresh-water and fuel capacities are in the cruising range, and the overall package should suit extended stays aboard. In value terms, the FP 44 sits in the premium segment: buyers are paying for volume, modern systems, and a well-known builder’s finish rather than for outright sailing performance.
