Used Sail Catamaran for sale Fountaine Pajot FP 43 Belize Vessel Summary

Boat Description

Destiny 2 is an excellent, well-maintained example of the fine Belize line of Fountaine Pajot sailing catamarans. They are noted for their quality construction and lack of historical structural issues.

The helm is in a logical location where you are protected from the elements, with great all-round visibility, access to sail controls, and still connected to your crew either inside the cabin or in the aft entertainment area. You will find that it is a great place to enjoy sundowners or events.

The interior is notably “soft,” with comfortable seating, no sharp corners, and a separated galley to make meal prep easy.

Sailing performance is surprising for a “non-daggerboard” boat because of the large sacrificial keels, offering great upwind performance and increased safety.

The super reliable Yanmar diesels are mated to SD25 sail drives that are located ahead of the rudders, giving you far more maneuverability than forward-mounted rudders.

Great bridge deck clearance minimizes slamming.

The FP Belize is a perfect blend of performance and family-comfortable cruising, while also being easy to single hand, as many senior sailors have done.

As a broker, I have sailed many times on and alongside this model of catamaran, and I am constantly impressed with these boats.

Sailing and living on Destiny II brings a new appreciation to life. Many ports, many crossings, and many sails in many seas teach a new rhythm to life.

The Fountaine Pajot Belize 43 brings a blend of a strong, fit sailing vessel with an interior designed with an artist’s eye and a sailor’s experience. The cockpit offers an accessible helm station, with jib sheets and traveler handled in the cockpit. Designed with curving seats and protected from wind and ocean, Destiny II gives experienced sailors an appreciation of how the Belize was meant to be handled.

The main salon is warm and bright with a 180° view through curved windows set at eye level when sitting or standing. Comfortable seating surrounds a beautiful and versatile drop-leaf table on a curved settee upholstered in turquoise Sunbrella fabric. Many delicious meals have been served from the adjacent galley, an efficient space that allows easy access to refrigerator, freezer, stove, oven, and counter space.

Sailing on Destiny II is like living in a jewel box while watching land, ocean, and changing skies. Waking up to star-filled skies and balmy breezes is part of the experience. We have sailed this boat for several years to the Bahamas. This Belize is made to sail. Everything that pertains to sailing on this boat has received the utmost attention.

Four double cabins with almost queen-size bunks offer plenty of space. The aft cabins have a walk-in by the bed and a generous-sized closet at the foot. Full standing headroom throughout the boat accommodates heights over six feet. Each hull has one head with a sink, toilet, and shower. Under the port aft bunk is a hot water heater, an inverter/charger, and lots of spare parts. The area underneath the aft starboard cabin is entirely open for storage. Forward bunks have closet space and under-bunk storage, along with doors opening to the crew quarters that can be used for sleeping or storage.

This boat is well outfitted for long-distance cruising.
