2015 Helia 44 Owners Version - EXTREME BLUEWATER SPEC - Europe (AUSTRALIAN REGISTERED BOAT)
Live aboard tomorrow. Cross an ocean next week.
Renowned for being exceptionally safe, fast under sail, and one of the most sought-after bluewater catamarans ever built, the Helia 44 has a global reputation among serious cruisers for reliability, comfort, and ocean capability.
US$525,000
This is not a standard Helia 44 and has never been chartered.
This is a 10,000-mile, ocean-proven, fully refitted, lithium-powered, off-grid cruising machine that has just arrived in Spain after sailing Greece-> Italy -> Spain, and we are now getting ready to cross the Atlantic to the Caribbean.
Every system that usually scares buyers on a used catamaran has already been replaced, upgraded, or rebuilt in 2025-2026.
You are not buying a project.
You are buying a boat that is ready to leave the dock.
