Owner Experience Review
Owners and captains who run the 44 OpenfromSOLARIS YACHTStend to use it exactly as the test reports suggest: as a refined dayboat that can handle social raft‑ups, a practical weekender with real overnighting capability, and even a luxury tender supporting larger yachts. Multiple sea trials describe a smooth, confidence‑building ride; the hull settles into chop without drama, tracks straight at speed, and showed solid composure in 3‑ft rollers and Biscayne Bay chop. Comfortable cruise figures varied by publication, but all pointed to an easy, efficient sweet spot in the low‑ to mid‑20‑knot range, with responsive acceleration and relaxed joystick‑assisted docking via Volvo Penta IPS.
On deck, the concept is about open sociability: fold‑out bulwarks expand the cockpit, fore and aft sunpads invite lounging, and the midship seating transforms neatly for dining. Below, two berths and a roomy head make short cruises realistic, and reviewers consistently called the interior space generous for a 44‑footer. At the helm, three seats, clear sightlines, and a tidy layout under a carbon T‑top support long stints at the wheel. The trade‑off is weather protection: by design, it’s an open boat with limited shielding, no windscreen wipers on the tested configurations, and spec choices (such as test boats without rear doors) that can influence all‑weather comfort.
From an ownership standpoint, access and finish in the machinery spaces are standouts; reports note a large, well‑organized engine room and exemplary component installation. Fuel burn and range numbers at published cruise settings clustered around roughly 220–228 nautical miles with prudent reserves, aligning with the platform’s weekending brief. The IPS pod setup rewards owners with easy handling but generally ties service and diagnostics to the Volvo Penta dealer network. One safety/access note from testing: a boat was evaluated without an emergency escape hatch below; prospective buyers should confirm the specific build’s arrangements.
Pros and Cons
- Smooth, stable ride in chop with real‑world seakeeping validated by multiple tests.
- Open deck plan with fold‑out bulwarks, big sunpads, and convertible dining is ideal for dayboating and raft‑ups.
- IPS joystick and DPS simplify close‑quarters handling and docking.
- Open concept limits weather protection, and test boats lacked windscreen wipers.
- IPS pods typically require dealer‑level Volvo Penta service and support.
- A test boat lacked an emergency escape hatch below, so build‑specific access should be verified.
