About

ICW FRIENDLY - BLUE WATER CRUISING READY - PURE COMFORT

Enjoy both offshore and inshore versatility on this beautiful Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 Owner's Version!

Starry Night is a fantastic 2014 (2015 model year) 3 stateroom / 3 head version Fountaine Pajot Helia 44. The Helia is an extremely well laid out boat. It affords comfort, plenty of space, plenty of storage and is still fun to sail. The 3 ft. 8 in. draft and modified 62.5 bridge clearance allow easy cruising on the East coast and access to many areas in the Bahamas deeper draft boats cant go. The 1500 watts of solar, 1200 amp hours of house batteries and generator allow easy normal daily living. The hardtop helm with enclosure make operating Starry Night in adverse conditions much less stressful or unpleasant. The water maker, 200 gallon water tank and 124 gallon diesel tank make it possible to explore areas without facilities for months.

The current owner's have lived aboard full time since November of 2021 and have found her to be a wonderful home and a great vehicle for exploration and adventure.

    We take pride in our happy customers

    Excellent communication.

    — Nicolas Bergstein

    We had a great purchasing experience with The Multihull Company. Got us into the boat we really wanted, our broker Josie was amazing, she walked us through the entire process, negotiated the deal we wanted and gave us great advice throughout. If you are looking to purchase a boat we can’t recommend them enough.

    — Roger Matros

    It’s been a few weeks now and the dust has settled. We had a great experience with the Multihull Company and in particular our broker, Caroline Laviolette. Caroline was happy to share her knowledge of the market and the catamarans we were interested in purchasing. She was patient and thorough as we looked at several boats in SE Florida, helped us narrow our search and eventually purchase a beautiful 2017 Lagoon 42. Many thanks to the team at The Multihull Company!

    — Carl Anderson

    We had a great experience purchasing our boat with Will Miller as a buyers agent. Purchasing our first large Cat is a daunting experience and Will was able to walk us through the process with ease. Will was very straight forward and constantly gave us honest feedback as well as finding and pointing out details on all the boats that we may not have noticed or thought about.

    We had a great experience and would use them again.

    I would specifically recommend a buyers agent when purchasing to help weed through a lot of problems and misrepresented boats on the market.

    — Anthony Nappa

    We have had great experiences with the Multihull company. We both sold our old boat through them, and bought our new boat through them. I have to say that Will Miller is top-notch, and Riley was great as our broker for selling our O day 39. when you buy a Salt or Boat through them, I feel like you are not only clients, but you are friends. The lines of communication were always open and we were always informed of everything going on.
