Allende is a 4-cabin 2016 Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 Evolution.
Allende has had one owner, who has been on board for every mile sailed. She is a very successful charter yacht outfitted for high-end all-inclusive charters for up to 6 guests. Meticulously maintained both mechanically and interior/exterior to meet the requirements of the luxury charter yacht market; the yacht has experienced zero downtime due to maintenance in five years. The yacht has been shown to charter yacht brokers at charter yacht shows at least once annually to demonstrate this high level of maintenance.
