Fjord 490 Open (2027) For sale

Fjord 490 Open Neuf - Overview & Availability
At 15 meters long and 4.58 meters wide, the Fjord 490 Open is a direct continuation of the German brand's 44 and 53 feet: vertical bow, fully flush deck plan and large safe bulwarks. This new model has been designed to maximize outdoor life at anchor while offering two real closed cabins for cruising.
The bridge: priority to the outdoor space
The 490 Open is based on a total "walkaround" circulation, with no difference in level between the bow and the stern:
Folding side terraces: deployed at anchor by hydraulic control, they considerably enlarge the aft surface at water level.
Modular cockpit: two large retractable saloon tables allow you to seat up to 10 to 12 people for lunch, or lower to form a very large aft sundeck.
Sheltered outdoor kitchen: integrated behind the pilot seats, under the large rigid T-top (hobs, sinks, several refrigerated drawers and ice maker).
Fitted bow: a second fixed sundeck at the front with bench seat facing the sea, accessible by deep and protected side decks.
Hydraulic swim platform: facilitates access to swimming, getting back on board and handling a dinghy or seabobs.
Interior layout: 2 cabins, 4 berths
Unlike the old generation opens, which are often reduced to a simple auxiliary cabin, the 490 offers enough living space to leave for several days:
Forward owner's cabin: central double bed, wardrobes and direct access to the bathroom with separate shower.
Aft guest cabin (full width): large double bed of 2 x 2 metres, side storage and hull openings bringing in natural light.
Possibility of adding a second guest toilet (day head) depending on the configuration chosen.
Engine and seaworthiness
The deep-V hull is powered by Volvo Penta IPS pod transmission, a guarantee of sobriety at cruising speed and ease of manoeuvring in port:
Engines: 2 x Volvo Penta IPS 700 (standard) or 2 x IPS 800 (optional).
Cruising speed: 28 to 31 knots.
Maximum speed: 34 to 35 knots.
Maneuverability: control joystick in the cockpit, bow thruster, possibility of integrating the DPS virtual positioning system and a Seakeeper gyrostabilizer.
