The Fjord 40 Open was and is a great success, however the Fjord 44 open has enhanced and perfected the day cruiser virtues of this yacht. Once again Fjord has had the privilege of counting on the invaluable design of Patrick Banfield. The success is such that many other shipyards have caught on to the Hanse tendency and are trying to emulate our Fjord 44 even to the smallest details. The Fjord 44 open has become the ideal boat of its size for day cruising. It is very appreciated by Yacht owners with Real Estate on the Coast and those who have previously owned large Yachts with multiple cabins and wish to return to the simplicity of day boating. The extensive Deck space with a complete, wide walk around and central console offer great safety to all passengers. The high freeboard avoids sea water and spray from splashing the windscreen which gives you an added sensation of safety and well-being on board the boat.
