Overview

About this vessel

L Argo is a 2009 Prometa Banana 43, a robust aluminium blue-water cruising catamaran designed for serious offshore passagemaking and long-range, self-sufficient exploration. French-built and measuring 12.98 metres with a generous 6.5 metre beam, she offers an exceptional balance of strength, space and comfort rarely found in this class.

Constructed in aluminium, L Argo delivers outstanding durability and confidence at sea, making her ideally suited to demanding ocean conditions. This sought-after construction, combined with a practical and well-proven design, ensures both safety and longevity for extended cruising.

Powered by twin Volvo Penta D2-55 engines with feathering propellers, she offers efficient and reliable propulsion. Under sail, she benefits from new standing rigging (2025), a well-maintained sail wardrobe and a new gennaker for enhanced light-wind performance. Navigation is supported by a modern B&G and Simrad electronics suite, complemented by Starlink connectivity.

Her onboard systems are designed for complete independence. A comprehensive Victron Energy lithium setup, substantial solar array and backup generator provide reliable energy for extended time off-grid. The vessel is fully modernised for liveaboard comfort, featuring induction cooking, watermaker and upgraded domestic systems throughout.

Below deck, L Argo offers a practical and comfortable layout with a dedicated owner s hull to port and guest accommodation to starboard, alongside a bright saloon, spacious cockpit and well-equipped galley designed for life at sea.

Well maintained and extensively upgraded, L Argo represents a rare opportunity to acquire a proven aluminium cruising catamaran that is turn-key and ready for immediate offshore adventure.
