The Fountaine Pajot Orana 44 builds on the success of the Belize 43 with a refined, performance‑oriented catamaran that balances seaworthiness, comfort and smart construction. Designed by the Joubert/Nivelt team, the Orana 44 is equally at home on ocean passages and in high‑demand charter programs. Its low centre of gravity and generous sail plan — cited at 110 square feet — combine to deliver confident handling, good upwind ability and reassuring stability in adverse conditions while remaining responsive and enjoyable in lighter airs.

Modern manufacturing techniques underpin the boat’s strength and environmental credentials: a single‑piece hull infused with composite bulkheads and a deckhouse moulded using RTM eco‑technology. These methods produce a stiff, durable structure that contributes to safety, durability and a quieter onboard experience. The clean, sleek exterior lines are complemented by a rigid, integrated bimini and well‑proportioned forward volume that enhances seakeeping without compromising aesthetics.

On deck the innovative sliding bay creates a true open‑plan connection between saloon and cockpit, improving crew movement and comfort while maintaining safety underway. The ergonomic helm accommodates three people and groups primary sail and navigation controls together, offering excellent visibility over the deckhouse and intuitive access to manoeuvres for short‑handed or fully crewed sailing.

Below, the luminous interior emphasizes space and practicality. The galley opens directly onto the cockpit for effortless entertaining and watchkeeping. It is comprehensively equipped and features Fountaine Pajot’s well‑known “piano refrigerator,” ample preparation surfaces and storage, and a layout that supports serious cruising. The saloon offers panoramic vistas and a dining table that seats eight, with an additional sea‑facing card table for navigation or social use.

Accommodation is designed for privacy and comfort: each of the four cabins benefits from its own bathroom with a separate shower, and companionway sliding doors afford exceptional privacy for guests. In the Owner’s layout the primary suite is arranged with an island bed, while the remaining cabins feature semi‑island style berths to optimise space and access. A generous aft sunbathing deck provides a relaxed cockpit extension for leisure and socialising.

Overall, the Orana 44 is a technically refined, welcoming cruising catamaran that performs confidently offshore, is simple to handle for small crews, and offers a spacious, well‑appointed interior for extended cruising or charter operations. It is an attractive option for sailors seeking a modern, efficient and comfortable multihull.
