Overview
The Fontaine Pajot 44 Moriat is a thoughtfully designed motor yacht that balances spaciousness, comfort, and performance. Measuring 44 feet in length overall with a beam of 21 feet 7 inches and a draft of 4 feet 3 inches, this yacht features a symmetrical layout with wide side decks and multiple versatile gathering areas. Powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS 600 engines producing 435 horsepower each, the 44 Moriat delivers reliable handling and efficient cruising capabilities.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The yacht's exterior begins with a full-beam swim platform featuring a fixed section extending 12 inches and a hydraulic section that extends 4 feet 6 inches. Safety is emphasized with an automatic starboard ladder and a swim reboarding ladder, as well as a control panel equipped with a safety catch to prevent accidental deployment. Access to the cockpit is provided by stairs on both port and starboard sides, with a fresh water shower conveniently located on the starboard side. The side decks are notably wide at 32 inches between the rail and cabin sides, with 25-inch-high rails enhancing safety. Forward, the bow offers a spacious lounging area with adjustable sun pads and deep storage compartments ideal for lines and fenders. The cockpit itself features comfortable bench seating across the stern, an extended overhead canopy ranging from 6 feet 8 inches to 7 feet 1 inch in height, and a drop-down shade for additional protection. Safety gates on both sides provide security, though they lack locking positions.
Flybridge and Outdoor Entertainment
Accessed via curving stairs on the port side of the aft deck, the flybridge provides a generous space for entertaining. It includes an L-shaped sofa surrounding a teak table mounted on dual stainless steel pedestals, a sink with a pull-out sprayer, ample counter space, a trash receptacle, a refrigerator with a pull-out door, and additional storage. A comfortable sun pad with Velcro-secured pillows is also present. The seating arrangement is convertible to include forward-facing seats by flipping the existing seats into position. Overhead protection is provided by a hardtop with a manually retractable fabric sunroof, allowing for flexible exposure to the elements.
Interior Living Spaces
The interior is accessed through wide sliding glass doors that open fully to create an expansive entryway measuring four feet eight inches wide, extending to seven feet six inches when doors are slid fully to port. Inside, the salon features a ceiling height of six feet six inches and offers opposing seating arrangements: an L-shaped sofa to starboard and a couch to port. The dining table is mounted on an electric lift pedestal, allowing easy conversion between dining and cocktail configurations. Centrally located between the salon and cockpit is a U-shaped galley outfitted with stain-resistant solid surface counters, a double convection cooktop, and high-end Bosch appliances. Storage is abundant throughout, including soft-close drawers with full extension, bottle storage that can be converted to a wine chiller, and deep deck compartments that serve as additional coolers. Manual blinds and windows are employed to reduce cost, and creative storage solutions are evident throughout the interior.
Private Accommodations
The 44 Moriat features a dual-hull layout with the owner's suite located in one hull and guest accommodations in the other. The owner's suite is spacious and airy, with a six-foot six-inch ceiling and an island queen berth positioned low to the deck for easy access. The berth faces a hull-side window with an opening port light, and storage is plentiful, including five full-length soft-close drawers and multiple deep deck compartments. His-and-hers closets are squared for practical hanging space. The owner's head compartment includes a walk-in shower with solid-core doors that close on gaskets to eliminate rattling, natural light from an overhead hatch, and a hull-side window, though powered ventilation is absent. A versatile center compartment can be customized as an office, laundry area, or additional berth, though lighting improvements are suggested. Guest accommodations in the starboard hull include two staterooms: an aft queen island berth with private ensuite head and a forward V-berth utilizing the day head. Both heads feature walk-in showers but lack shelving for toiletries. Storage remains a consistent feature with multiple compartments throughout.
Power and Performance
The yacht is powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS 600 engines rated at 435 horsepower each. During testing with an estimated weight of 46,237 pounds (including fuel and seven people), the 44 Moriat achieved a top speed of 23.8 knots at 3600 RPM. Acceleration is linear and smooth, with the yacht reaching planing speed in 5.3 seconds and 20 mph in 9.4 seconds. Fuel efficiency at a cruising speed of approximately 16 knots (2750 RPM) was measured at 20 gallons per hour, providing a range of over 380 nautical miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve from the 528-gallon capacity. Handling characteristics are predictable and comfortable, with the yacht remaining flat during turns and exhibiting slow, docile maneuvering typical of pod drives. The joystick control is well-positioned for ease of use, allowing the captain to face aft during docking maneuvers. The yacht demonstrated excellent tracking and stability when encountering wakes and waves from various angles, with minimal roll and no loss of heading.
Helm and Navigation Systems
The primary helm is starboard-mounted and ergonomically designed, featuring a 17-inch multifunction display, Volvo Penta EVC engine display, ignition controls, defroster, and a compass centrally located. The steering wheel is mounted on a tilt base and falls naturally to the operator's fingertips. Engine controls and joystick are conveniently positioned, enabling precise maneuvering. While the standard Fontaine Pajot setup typically includes Garmin displays, this particular yacht is equipped with Raymarine systems as per owner preference. The integrated Garmin system, when present, allows comprehensive control of lighting, air conditioning, and entertainment via iPad minis and a Garmin watch synced with a smartphone. Manual switches remain available for essential functions such as horn and windshield wipers. The flybridge helm mirrors the lower helm's layout and instrumentation, also featuring a tilt steering base and joystick control.
Conclusion
The Fontaine Pajot 44 Moriat presents a well-rounded package combining spacious and flexible living spaces, thoughtful storage solutions, and reliable performance. Its symmetrical design and wide decks enhance safety and ease of movement, while the flybridge and cockpit provide ample outdoor entertaining areas. The yacht's handling is predictable and comfortable, suitable for both experienced and novice operators. While some cost-saving measures are evident in manual blinds and simpler finishes, the investment in high-quality appliances and ergonomic design elements reflects a balanced approach to value and functionality. Overall, the 44 Moriat is a capable and comfortable motor yacht well-suited for cruising and entertaining.
