2009 Prometa Banana 43 – L’Argo
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.
