Brand history
The brand was originally born in Norway. In 2007 he joined the German group Hanse Yachts and his production was reoriented to innovative high-end designs. Its development is handled by the Allseas Design office, led by Patrick Banfield and Jim Wilshire, who already had a first-class endorsement in the field of recreational sailing: the Wally Tender. It currently has three products, which are really four boats, the 40 Open of 12 meters in length, the 48 Open as ‘top of the range’ with 15 meters in length, and the 36 Tender and 36 Open, both with 10,80m in length.
A simple look is enough to understand why this yacht Fjord 40 Open was chosen “European Motor Boat of the year 2008”. The exterior of the Fjord 40 Open includes a huge table in the cabin that can be transformed into a large sun lounger: the boat is authorized to receive 11 guests on board plus the skipper, an ideal capacity to enjoy extraordinary moments with friends and family in Ibiza and Formentera, enjoying the islands from the sea.
Extra security for children

She also has a very clean distribution on the deck, which places the steering position in the centre of the boat under a rigid tempered glass roof. The bathtub of this Fjord 40 Open “Patandreas” concentrates the greatest versatility imaginable in a twelve-meter motorboat. , with the lateral corridors located in the interior, at floor level of the bathtub, the furniture is concentrated on the axis of the bay.
Aft has two sofas and a central table between them, but all with extraordinary versatility. The seats can be faced to the table to eat, be oriented both forward to navigate in the direction of travel or orient them aft to contemplate those who practice water sports, and also orient them alternatively. The table has fold-down wings and adjustable height, and the seats have a folding backrest, creating different solarium surfaces. Simple U-shaped bars act as separation doors between the bath and the swim platform, located only one lower step.
More details
All the gift is teak, as well as the floor of the deck and the swim platform, and the cleats are retractable, completely flush so that they are not seen when they are not used. The route from stern to bow can be made by both bands, without obstacles and with great security, because the lateral corridors have considerable depth, in addition, there are some thick stainless steel handrails located on the inside, so that they do not affect the general purist aesthetics of the boat.

The Fjord 40 Open has a completely open layout, in the style of a large boat, except for the presence of a central hard roof, translucent material, supported by two large pillars.

The starboard cabinet houses the kitchen, with two gas hobs, the sink, the refrigerator and cabinets, while the port side has a work surface for cutting food and more storage. Behind the hard top, you can mount a folding awning, as shown in the photos, to protect the entire bath to the very stern.
