2008 Fountaine Pajot Orana 44 Catamaran for Sale in La Paz, Sea of Cortez

This exceptionally well-equipped 2008 Fountaine Pajot Orana 44 is a proven bluewater cruising catamaran located in La Paz, Mexico, the gateway to the Sea of Cortez, one of the world’s most celebrated cruising grounds.

Designed by Joubert–Nivelt and built by Fountaine Pajot, the Orana 44 is known for its ideal balance of performance, comfort, and liveaboard functionality. With a 24’11” beam, shallow 4’ draft, and generous displacement, this catamaran delivers excellent stability, efficiency, and access to remote anchorages throughout Baja, mainland Mexico, and beyond.

This vessel stands out thanks to an extensive list of recent upgrades and cruising-focused systems, including 1,400W of solar, wind generation, Victron power management, a Mastervolt generator, Cruise RO watermaker, and fully rebuilt Yanmar 3JH4E engines and saildrives. A modern B&G navigation suite, Starlink connectivity, electric winches, upgraded sails (including Code Zero and Parasailor), and a turnkey dinghy/outboard package make her exceptionally well prepared for long-range cruising or full-time liveaboard use.

The Orana 44’s spacious cockpit, fully enclosed helm, bright saloon, and comfortable accommodations create an ideal platform for entertaining, extended voyages, or enjoying life at anchor in warm-water destinations. From island-hopping in the Sea of Cortez to offshore passagemaking, this catamaran is set up to go now, with no major projects required.

Clean, thoughtfully upgraded, and strategically located in La Paz, this Fountaine Pajot Orana 44 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey cruising catamaran in one of the best sailing regions in the world.

Exclusively listed by La Paz Yachts, inquiries encouraged — serious cruising boats like this are seldom available in such complete condition!
