FP44 nominated for the Multihull of the Year 2026
13 February 2026
The FP44 is officially nominated for the Multihull of the Year 2026 in the “Multicoque of the Year – Under 45’” category.
This nomination confirms what the very first sea trials revealed: the FP44 stands out for her balance and her ability to combine performance with exceptional onboard comfort. Designed to sail far, to embrace life at sea, and to create meaningful moments on board, she embodies a new approach to 44-foot cruising.
Voting is now open!
Multihull of the Year 2026: recognition at the heart of the multihull market
Created by Multihulls World, the Multihull of the Year recognizes each year the multihulls that make a mark in their segment. The selection is based on the expertise of a jury composed of specialized journalists and respected industry professionals. The final decision is then placed in the hands of enthusiasts, owners, and those who live and breathe the sea every day.
Being nominated means entering a highly demanding selection. It confirms the FP44’s growing position among the models shaping today’s cruising catamaran market.
In the 44-foot catamaran segment, she does not chase performance for her own sake. She integrates it intelligently.
FP44: a 44-foot catamaran designed to go further
With the FP44, Fountaine Pajot sets out a clear vision of the new-generation 44-foot catamaran. A sailing yacht designed to combine performance under sail, ease of handling and confidence at sea, without ever compromising onboard comfort.
Her optimized hull design, generous sail plan and well-balanced architecture allow her to express her full potential from the very first tacks. She accelerates naturally, maintains excellent stability and delivers precise feedback at the helm. The sailing experience is lively, yet never demanding.
The perfectly integrated helm station ensures clear visibility and full control. The deck layout has been designed to centralize maneuvers and secure movement on board. Whether heading offshore or enjoying coastal cruising, the FP44 inspires confidence and command.
The FP44 does more than optimize a 44-footer. She redefines the experience altogether.
An onboard experience that redefines the standards of the 44-foot segment
The FP44 was envisioned as a true living space open to the sea.
The spacious and well-structured aft cockpit becomes the heart of the yacht. She flows naturally into the saloon, creating a seamless connection between interior and exterior. Expansive glazing floods the living areas with natural light and maintains a constant link with the surrounding seascape.
The interior layout prioritizes generous volumes, smooth circulation and a high level of finish. Every detail has been carefully considered to support life on board over time, whether for family cruising, extended bluewater passages or more ambitious sailing plans.
The cabins deliver a level of comfort rarely found in this category, with particular attention paid to ergonomics, storage solutions and the overall sense of space.
If the FP44 embodies for you this new generation of 44-foot catamarans, combining performance, comfort and long-term vision, your vote matters.
A model already embraced
The first sea trials confirmed the FP44’s maturity. Feedback highlights the perceived quality, the fluid flow between living spaces and the yacht’s overall balance. The nomination for the Multihull of the Year 2026 naturally builds on this momentum.
The results will be announced at the International Multihull Show in La Grande-Motte in April 2026. Voting is open until April 22, 2026.
The FP44 will also be showcased at the Fountaine Pajot Open Days in La Rochelle, a privileged opportunity to discover the model afloat, meet our teams and experience life on board in real conditions.
