38 knots at the top, and she barely raises her voice getting there.
Twin Volvo Penta IPS 600 pod drives come as standard, with IPS 650 and IPS 700 options for owners who want more in reserve. Cruise speed settles at 26 knots, a pace the pod drive layout holds with the efficiency and manoeuvrability IPS has become known for, including tight, joystick controlled docking that a conventional shaft drive cannot match. A 900 litre fuel tank supports a range of 300 nautical miles, and a shallow 1 metre draught keeps anchorages open that a deeper hulled yacht of the same length would have to avoid. At speed the hull stays flat and predictable, the hallmark of Fjord’s pod drive models since the line began.
Patrick Banfield’s exterior work favours restraint over decoration, and the 44 Open shows why that works.
A vertical bow and a continuous sheer line carry the eye cleanly from stem to transom, while the glazing is kept low and wide rather than tall, so the silhouette reads as fast even at rest. The anchor is power assisted, so no one needs to lean over the bow rail to deploy it, and grab handles run the length of the bulwark, a detail that matters as much underway at speed as it does alongside in a crowded harbour. It is a clean, confident profile built to flatter the hull’s performance rather than disguise it.
A boat built for twelve by day asks more of its deck than most, and the 44 Open delivers.
Aft, a T-top canopy shelters a dining table seating five, with a boom awning that extends from the same structure when the sun moves round. An external galley sits behind the helm station, close enough to the cockpit that no one preparing lunch is cut off from the conversation on deck. Forward, a sun lounger nearly 2.5 metres long is reached by lateral walkways on either side, keeping circulation to the bow clear even when guests are lying out. Together these spaces let twelve people move easily between shade, sun and company, with nowhere on board more than a few steps from anywhere else.
Below, two cabins sleep four guests in genuine comfort rather than a squeeze.
The forward cabin is the brighter of the pair, with just under 2 metres of headroom, its own storage and a separate shower, lit by natural daylight rather than relying on artificial lighting alone. Aft, a second cabin with twin L-shaped bunks offers a more compact, practical space, suited to crew or younger guests when the forward cabin is given to the owner. Fjord’s own interior team shaped both spaces around natural light and usable volume rather than headline square footage, a sensible choice on a yacht whose real living happens on deck. Finished in a pale, uncluttered palette, the cabins feel larger than their footprint suggests.
No crew required, a 300 nautical mile range and a 1 metre draught: the 44 Open is built to be run by her owner, wherever the day takes her.
Fjord’s engineering team has kept displacement to 10,400 kilograms despite the tankage and build quality on board, a figure that helps explain her composed turn of speed on IPS pod power. Priced from 600,000 euros, she sits above the smaller Xpress models in the range while remaining considerably more accessible than Fjord’s larger Coupé and flagship models. For an owner who wants genuine performance, a crewless operating model and the flexibility to host twelve guests for lunch or four for the night, the 44 Open is a clear and considered choice.
