Sailpages Buyer's Take

The FP 44 is a modern catamaran designed by Berret-Racoupeau and built by Fountaine Pajot in France, with production starting in 2025. As a brand-new model with no established owner report history yet, it represents the latest iteration of Fountaine Pajot's performance-oriented cruising line.

Best for:
This boat is best suited for coastal and offshore cruisers seeking a modern, high-performance catamaran with fractional sloop rigging and substantial interior volume.
Bluewater capability:
With a displacement of 33510.26 lb and a low capsize ratio of 3.03, the FP 44 exhibits strong stability characteristics suitable for bluewater cruising.
Comparables:
Comparable boats include the Fountaine Pajot Salia 44 and the Lagoon 42, as they share similar beam dimensions, fractional rig configurations, and target the same market of luxury performance cruisers.
