Fitting neatly between the Astrea 42 and Elba 45 in Fountaine Pajot’s acclaimed catamaran range, the new 2026 FP44 brings modern innovation and layout improvements to this sub-14 metre size range that's ever popular for sailing holidays. Designed with chartering in mind, this new model offers the comfort, liveability and performance expected of a Fountaine Pajot cat while also incorporating forward-looking features, most notably the option of electric propulsion. For sailors seeking a quieter, more eco-conscious sailing experience, this is a notable leap forward.
Charter clients will appreciate the FP44’s smart interior layout, generous natural light and user-friendly sailing systems. With multiple socialising zones including the cockpit, forward lounge and flybridge lounge deck, there’s room for everyone aboard whether relaxing underway or moored in a quiet bay.
Cabin configurations make it suitable for families and for small groups, the design striking a good balance between personal privacy and shared living space. Expect roomy cabins with ensuite heads, efficient galley arrangements and expansive outdoor lounging areas.
In line with growing demand for greener yachting, the 2026 FP44 offers optional electric engines on some boats in charter, a significant development in the mid-size cat market. Electric propulsion brings not only lower emissions, but also quieter operation and simpler maintenance. This all makes for a more relaxed atmosphere onboard that's perfect for charters that focus on comfort and tranquillity.
As of July 2025, 2026-model FP 44s are already listed for charter in the british Virgin Islands and in Trogir, Croatia. More examples are certain to be popular additions to charter fleets in top Mediterranean and Caribbean locations, as well as the South Pacific and Southeast Asia ove rthe course of the nezt year.
With its size, features and flexible layout, this catamaran is equally well-suited to bareboat or skippered charter.
Whether you ere a returning charterer looking for the latest in design and style, or a newcomer wanting a spacious, manageable catamaran with premium features, the FP44 is one to ask about.
