Fountaine-Pajot Orana 44 Low Centre of Gravity Ensures Safe Yacht Charter BVI

Large sail single-piece hull catamaran Fountaine-Pajot Orana 44 propels performance sailing holidays on Caribbean yacht charter to BVI Tortola.

Orana 44, from Fountaine-Pajot, the first ISO 9001v2000 awarded boat builders of more than 2200 catamarans over 30 years was designed by the renowned Joubert/Nivelt team for performance ocean sailing and skippered yacht charter. A low centre of gravity, large sail area, RTM eco-technology and extravagant special styling steer the 43.01 ft of ocean cruising comfort on an even keel.

From the luxury, two mattress sunbathing deck aft through the open access between cockpit and saloon via sliding bay to the expansive space of the below deck interior, thoughtful design ergonomics delights the senses throughout. A pristine white and light honey wood 8 seater saloon with wide wraparound window view carries through to the bright 3 or 4 cabin version layouts. 4 double cabins with 4 bathrooms are provided or 1 private suite plus 2 double cabins with 3 bathrooms.

First launched in 2008 followed 2009/10 by the Maestro version with new owner's single piece hull, the Orana 44 offers versatile family or guest yacht charter options when planning seasonal getaways to a Caribbean sailing holiday idyll like Tortola, BVI with its lush green landscape and flowered hillsides or the capital, Road Town, offering breathtaking views across deserted sandy coves, and ‘Painkiller' its famous rum-based island drink.
