HIGHLIGHTS
Innovative Outdoor Spaces for Connection and Comfort
The exterior of the New 44 has been thoughtfully designed to maximize space and sociability. A spacious aft cockpit welcomes at least eight guests with a generous dining area, making it ideal for open-air meals and lively gatherings. A wide swim platform offers effortless access to the sea, while the oversized lounging space on the coachroof is perfect for relaxing. Forward, an expansive sun deck invites you to unwind with panoramic views and total tranquility.
Exceptional Visibility and Intuitive Sailing
This model is designed for smooth and responsive sailing, whether crewed or short-handed. The helm station is strategically located mid-level, ensuring excellent visibility and allowing the skipper to remain in close contact with guests in the cockpit or flybridge. A dedicated sail-handling zone forward of the helm keeps trimming and maneuvering efficient and stress-free, while a smartly balanced sail plan supports both performance and ease of control.
Seamless Flow Between Interior and Exterior
The New 44’s living space is engineered for harmony between the indoors and outdoors. Expansive glass doors blur the boundaries between the salon and cockpit, creating a light-filled, unified social space. A central galley island and forward serving window further enhance functionality and flow, making entertaining easy and enjoyable. The enlarged salon adds volume, storage, and a greater sense of openness throughout the shared spaces.
