The Italian built Advanced Yachts A44 made its world debut at the 2014 Genoa Boat Show. It takes the word stunning to new levels, not only in terms of style and performance but for ownership convenience as well.  Conceptually, the A44 was designed to give Mediterranean owners maximum sailing pleasure without the everyday issues associated with boat ownership.

Advanced Yachts A44 interior

The A44 interior is stylish and inviting without being too complicated.



The design team included naval architect Roberto Biscontini, coordinator of the Luna Rossa Design Team, who created the waterlines and technological aspects; SP Technology/Gurit, a leading supplier of integrated boat construction solutions who did the structural calculations; and Nauta Design, who were responsible for the interior design and coordinated the entire project.  The result is a very fast 13-metre/44-ft weekend sailor with the “chilled-out comfort of a large beach loft."

Along with the A44, Advanced Yachts is introducing a series of packages designed to help owners make the most effective use of their boat while relieving them of the inconveniences of owning a yacht. These packages include Advanced Race Experience, which makes it easy to participate in the leading Mediterranean regattas with a race-ready yacht; Advanced Sailing Clinic, a series of expert-led sessions designed to train both owners and crews in navigational and racing techniques; and Advanced Yacht Management, which covers everything from specific maintenance tasks to complete management of the boat. Owners can pass off worries about berthing and mooring, winterizing, scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, and deliveries to ports of the owners' choosing.

With its America’s Cup design influence on the hull, together with a striking and stylish interior, plus the builder taking care of whatever ownership issues you choose, the A44 is a truly stunning package.
