2009 Prometa Banana 43 - L'Argo

A true bluewater voyager, Prometa Banana 43 is a robust 2009 French-built aluminium cruising catamaran designed for long-range, self-sufficient exploration. At 12.98 metres with a generous 6.5-metre beam, she delivers a rare combination of strength, space and comfort that is increasingly sought after by serious offshore sailors.

Built for passagemaking, this model is renowned for its solid aluminium construction which offers exceptional durability and offshore confidence. Aluminium catamarans have become hugely popular among modern cruisers for their unmatched strength and ability to handle demanding ocean conditions with ease, and this Prometa 43 is a standout example of that reputation.

Under power, she is driven by twin Volvo D2-55E 55hp diesels with approximately 2,800 hours, paired with three-bladed feathering props for smooth and reliable performance. Under sail, she is well prepared for extended voyaging with new 2025 standing rigging, well-maintained cruising sails and a new gennaker for improved light-air capability. Her 2025 B&G and Simrad navigation suite, supported by Starlink connectivity, ensures accurate passage planning and dependable communication worldwide.

Her power system has been thoughtfully modernised with a 2025 Victron setup featuring 1320Ah of lithium batteries, dual 3000-watt inverters and an impressive 1490W solar array. A Mastervolt Whisper 3.5kV generator provides valuable backup for long-distance independence.

Life aboard is bright, practical and comfortable. The spacious cockpit, open saloon and well-appointed galley make living and entertaining effortless, while the private owner's hull to port offers welcome separation. The starboard hull accommodates two generous guest cabins and a full bathroom, ideal for family or visiting friends.

Everyday cruising is fully off-grid capable with induction cooking, a watermaker and a new 2025 washing machine. Exploration is supported by a 2025 Highfield 3.4m RIB with 4kW Torqeedo electric outboard, a 2024 kayak and a 2025 Airbuddy two-diver system, all included.

Beautifully maintained and extensively upgraded across 2024-2025, Prometa Banana 43 represents an exceptional opportunity to secure a proven, self-reliant aluminium ocean cruiser ready to roam far and wide.
