Overview
"Sharp, minimal, very clean Scandinavian/German style — still the most distinctive open boat ever built."
Who this boat is for
For Mediterranean day cruising with a crowd — and the option to overnight for two couples.
Hisham's take
The Fjord 44 Open changed what an open boat is allowed to look like — vertical stem, hard chines, a deck that reads as architecture rather than nautical styling. This 2020 example in Saint Tropez has only 409 engine hours on its twin Volvo IPS 650s, which means it's barely broken in. The cockpit is the largest in its class, modular furniture means it reconfigures from lounge to dining to sunbed in minutes, and below deck there are two real cabins for two couples. The Mediterranean dayboat that doesn't apologise for being striking.
