Fjord 41 XL Review (2022 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

The hi-lo bathing platform has stairs that give you a walkway down into the water. This feature is not only practical but powerful enough to carry water toys like a Williams mini jet or a Sea-Doo Spark.

The yacht has great adaptability, with its six different layouts for the cockpit. One of the most popular layouts is featured on this boat, which is a sunbed at the back, swiveling seats, and a flexible dining spot. Also highlighted are other layout options that offer more open spaces or more seating areas.

Nick takes a moment to marvel at the yacht's five fridges, a feature he finds remarkable. There is the option to have a grill on the boat and a powered bimini. Another feature are canopies that can be zipped on to enclose the cockpit area, making it suitable for use in less favorable weather.

Many features include flat fenders, a glass cockpit, dedicated engine instrumentation, and anchor control. There is the option of a full or half-height windscreen, depending on whether one prefers a more enclosed or open experience. Also of note are the deep sides, a whole-length sunbathing area, the stowaway cleats and a concealed anchor. 

Inside the Fjord 41 XL, there are sliding doors leading to the owner's cabin, which is a welcome feature. This cabin has ample headroom, lighting, big double bed, and leather pulls on the storage compartments. There are various options available for the galley, including the possibility of an office space.

Nick is impressed by the boat's heads, particularly the separate rain shower. Also here is an additional cabin, which is suitable for children or adults. Despite the yacht being cockpit-oriented, it offers adequate overnight accommodation.

The yacht's engine space houses a pair of Volva Penta D6-440s, which is the largest option available. The boat's speed is particularly impressive as it can go up to nearly 40 knots, making it a "properly quick boat." Cruising at 30 knots is estimated to give 250 nautical miles of range.

Throughout the tour, Nick has emphasized the Fjord 41 XL's adaptability, speed, and thoughtful design. He describes as a "fantastic party boat."
