    DESCRIPTION:

    Now available in Fort Lauderdale. Import Duty Paid.

    Introducing Big Enough, a well-appointed three stateroom, three head owners version Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 that is the definition of a smart cruising catamaran with a bevy of upgrades sure to impress a discerning buyer. She is the perfect platform for a liveaboard sailor looking for comfort and the reassurance of system redundancy–she’ll never skip a beat in power management!

    Since 2022, Big Enough has been continuously upgraded and meticulously maintained, allowing the owners to enjoy life on the hook while cruising the Florida Keys and the Bahamas. Redundancy and safety were the name of the game when her owner, a pilot, took control of the helm. Of note are the:

    • 12V and 24V battery banks
    • Two watermakers
    • 2,900w of solar
    • Three inverters
    • 9kw generator with autostart
    • High output alternator

    Big Enough is ready for all your international bluewater cruising dreams. The autostart enables the generator to automatically power up when batteries get low, so overnight the aircon can keep working without you waking up. The pilot owner’s philosophy of redundancy is “if you have one, you have none. If you have two, you have one.” This will serve the next owner well in terms of safety and system reliability.

    All electrical work was professionally done by the reputable MAZ Ocean in Fort Lauderdale. 

    In addition to tremendous power system upgrades, Big Enough has also seen some other attractive updates in the past three years to make life aboard even more comfortable and level up her sailing, including: 

    • New sails in 2025
    • Standing rigging replacement
    • Custom LED lighting throughout
    • Six air conditioner units
    • Garmin suite including two chart plotters 
    • Enclosures and shades
    • Five new deck hatches

    This Helia is an absolute pleasure to sail, with all lines leading back to the helm (ideal for singlehanding), which in this case has a custom hardtop and full enclosure, allowing for comfortable sailing in all weather conditions. The 3ft 8in draft is ideal for easy navigating and anchoring closer to the beach than many other catamarans of a similar size.

    Designed for luxurious living, this premium layout offers:

    • A spacious owner’s suite featuring an island berth, private en-suite head, and walk-in shower
    • A bright, open salon with panoramic windows and a convertible dining/lounge area
    • A fully equipped galley with both electric and gas appliances, dual-drawer refrigerator, standalone freezer, cockpit fridge, ample counter space, and generous storage
    • Guest cabins with private en-suite heads, ensuring comfort and privacy for visitors or crew
    • Rooftop seating and lounging area conveniently located next to the helm for relaxation, scenic views and star gazing

    Powered by upgraded 55HP Volvo engines and brand new sails, this catamaran is ready for you to jump aboard and leave the dock. Schedule your private showing of Big Enough today in Fort Lauderdale.
