Designed for maximum living space and boasting beautiful natural light throughout its interior, this elegant and luxuriously appointed catamaran also delivers a dynamic performance at sea.
Immerse yourself in the panoramic 360° views made possible by the expansive saloon windows and integrated mast foot, marvel at the responsive handling in the spacious helm station, or surrender your cares as you relax in the cockpit or indulgent lounge deck. This cruising catamaran now has new features including an extra cockpit bench seat and additional davits. This catamaran also has a propane Barbecue to help maximise your outdoor living!
The Fountaine Pajot designers have provided a level deck to walk between the cockpit and the saloon, which opens up to give a true al fresco ambience to the saloon at anchor, terrific communication and conviviality between the saloon, cockpit and helm position underway. The helm position is unique, in the way that it is both parts of the cockpit, and part of the upper deck, which enables the skipper ( and two others) to sit at the helm, with unhindered 360-degree vision, whilst at the same time, being connected with the crew and activity in the saloon and cockpit. Next to the helm position is a sun deck, which makes for very sociable sailing.
All sailing control lines are led back to the winches just forward of the helm position on this Helia 44. The design allows Captain or crew to handle the sails, without cluttering the helm position itself with lines. With a powerful autopilot, and electric winch to hoist the mainsail, this yacht is easily sailed short-handed, and her 1,237 sq. ft of sail area, coupled with a 10.8-ton displacement, and outstanding bridge deck clearance, makes her fast and comfortable under sail
Worthy of Fountaine-Pajot’s prestigious Flagship status, the Helia 44 Charter Catamaran represents an entirely new level in cruising lifestyles.

Greg Allen
The sea has been Greg’s passion for all his life and consequently, his chosen career. He is extremely well qualified with his RYA Commercially Endorsed Yachtmaster and very experienced. Greg has worked on dive boats, as the captain of a large private yacht, and as the owner/skipper of a sports fishing tour business in St Vincent (he also worked on the set of the Pirates of the Caribbean films, as location scout and as the Director’s boat – does he have some stories to tell!)
In recent years, he has worked as a freelance skipper and as a delivery skipper all over the world, but he is happiest sailing in his home territory of the Grenadines.
He is also a PADI qualified dive instructor and a keen fisherman. He considers of prime importance the comfort and safety of his crew and guests alike and the immaculate condition and maintenance of whatever boat he captains. He is a relaxed, convivial captain who will make you feel at home. He also makes a wicked rum punch!
Laura Hadaway
Laura was born and raised in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, 30 something years ago (she has stopped counting) Cooking and the sea were both integral part of life. Growing up with fresh local cuisine at her disposal, she has learned to prepare food from the greatest cooks around, her grandmother and mother. As she has grown and sampled, dabbled and researched cuisines, it comes as an enjoyable on- going learning experience for her.
Sailing also runs through her blood; her grandfather captained schooners sailing in the Caribbean and explains her continuing love of sailing. She has attained jobs as a cook or crew on charter yachts since 2004, mainly the Caribbean chain
from the BVI to Grenada, not only for the experience and to build her portfolio, but just for the sheer love of doing it.Her easy going, pleasant, witty disposition, combined with her attention to detail are some attributes that continue to make her guests feel comfortable, relaxed and appreciative of their time spent with her.
Hilary CohenGreg and Laura are off the charts! If you are lucky enough to sail with them, you will have the sail of your dreams
Bud RisGregg and Laura, were absolutely the best! Very capable and very wonderful people. With all the worries about the virus back home, they made us feel very welcome and comfortable. The food was outstanding, well above out expectations! Gregg is a great Captain and a quite story teller! We learned a lot about the history of The Islands and all the colorful character who appear to be related to Gregg! Thank you!
Martin CliffordGreg and Laura did a fabulous job. Greg always left us with a feeling of confidence aboard and Laura’s food was fantastic.
Susan JansenGreg, Laura and Lisa make it all seamless and perfect. Will be back ASAP
