She gets up and goes without fuss.
Twin Volvo Penta D6 diesels, 480 horsepower each for 960 combined, put the 440 Open on the plane quickly and hold her there with little drama. The deep hull underneath is the real story: it keeps the ride level and predictable when the breeze builds, the difference between a day boat that stays out and one that turns for home early. Joystick control brings easy, precise handling at the dock and in tight anchorages, while a 900 litre fuel tank gives enough range for a proper day’s running between two fills. This is a boat built to be used hard, not admired from the pontoon.
Her deck is the design, not an afterthought.
The full beam T top and extended windscreen define the silhouette, shading the helm and cockpit without closing the boat in. Beneath the fibreglass hull and superstructure sits a modular cockpit that reconfigures for sunbathing, dining or fishing, depending on how the day is going. A reversible aft backrest flips between a forward facing bench and a rearward lounge in seconds, and a 55 inch television lowers from the T top when the sun goes down. Every element on deck does double duty, which is the whole point of an open boat built for real use rather than display.
Twelve for lunch, four for the night.
The 440 Open is sized for exactly that shift in rhythm. By day the cockpit and bow comfortably host twelve guests for swimming stops and long lunches on anchor, helped by a hydraulic bathing platform that lowers level with the water for easy access from the sea. A 335 litre freshwater tank covers showers and rinsing through a full day offshore. Come evening, the boat scales back to an intimate weekend cruiser for two couples, proof that a 44 footer can genuinely serve both roles without compromise on either one.
Below deck, she keeps things honest.
Two cabins, each with a proper double berth, sleep four guests in genuine comfort rather than a squeezed convertible arrangement. A single head serves both cabins, kept compact to leave more volume for the parts of the boat an open cruiser is actually bought for. Design Unlimited handled the interior, favouring light finishes and practical stowage over anything showy, an approach that suits a boat meant for quick turnarounds between weekends rather than extended liveaboard cruising. It is accommodation built for convenience, not spectacle.
A 1960s idea, built for a modern owner.
Fjord built its reputation on open boats that behave like much larger yachts at sea, and the 440 continues that line under naval architecture and exterior design by Darnet Design. She draws just 1.17 metres on a 3.99 metre beam, shallow enough for anchorages a deeper hulled yacht would avoid, and her fibreglass construction keeps weight down without sacrificing the solid feel that defines the brand. At 13.8 metres, she sits at the accessible end of The Yacht Collection’s range, a genuine entry point into day boating built to a standard that holds up over years of hard use rather than one season of appearances.
