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 can’t 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.
