CRESCENDO is part of Fountaine Pajot’s Hélia 44 Evolution range, renowned for its balance of sailing performance, stability and comfort. Measuring 13.30 metres in length, with a 7.40-metre beam and a shallow draft of just 1.20 metres, this cruising catamaran offers a stable platform and generous interior volumes while providing access to shallow anchorages.
Four Double Cabins with Private Bathrooms
The popular Quatuor layout accommodates guests in four double cabins, each with its own private bathroom featuring a marine toilet, washbasin, shower and practical storage. Two additional guests can sleep in the saloon, while the forward compartments provide two further berths. This versatile configuration is ideal for a large family or several couples, offering comfort and privacy throughout the yacht.

The saloon benefits from panoramic views, abundant natural light and a comfortable dining space.
