FJORD MOTOR YACHTS & SEALINE –  SET THEIR EYES ON QUEENSLAND

Fjord and Sealine are two strong brands of power boats that are known for style and performance. Long-established yacht importer, Windcraft Yachts, has recently expanded into Queensland, and is setting the two brands to dominate the Queensland waterways.

Fjord needs little introduction. Their iconic styling and effortless power have made them one of Europe’s most popular and versatile luxury boats, so it is easy to understand why they are demanding attention as ideal for the ultimate Queensland lifestyle. The strikingly handsome design and the space afforded by their open day-boat style are coupled with the excellence of German engineering and capable offshore pedigree, allowing the Fjord boats to be at home gracefully carving through the azure waters of the Whitsunday Islands, relaxing confidently at anchor or slicing through choppy offshore swell at 40+ knots.

The original Fjord 40 is undoubtedly one of the most iconic and admired powerboats on the water and was responsible for the emergence of an entire class of stylish walk-around day boats that adopted Fjord’s trend-setting and rule-breaking concept. With the famous yard’s latest launch, the all-new FJORD 41XL has set the bar high for the next generation of fast, powerful and jaw-droppingly handsome power boats.

The Fjord 41XL’s genius lies not just in how good it looks. The exclusive importer for Fjord, Windcraft Yachts, explains, “A suite of industry-first features and intelligent new design concepts are tied together in the Fjord 41XL to create an ultra-intuitive and owner-friendly yacht with impeccable style and practicality – an achievement formally recognised with first place in the European Powerboat of The Year Awards 2021.”

The boat features twin full-beam cabins below with spacious and stylish accommodation for guests overnight, if so desired. There are options for a second head, and a study or vanity zone, while the deck and cockpit areas are of epic dimensions and allow for sun-worship or cool shade – thanks to the largest T-Top in its class and extending bow and stern sunshades. An extended hydraulic swim platform, luxurious sunbeds, variable seating, and adjustable dining table options are naturally on offer. Brilliantly, Fjord have once again defined a new concept with a further option of free-standing furniture pieces from high-end Italian designers, allowing the boat configuration to be changed at will to suit the changing needs of its owners.

For those to whom the Fjord seems a little too ‘out there’, Windcraft have the perfect alternative with the less extreme but equally impressive Sealine range. Their newest 2021 models are the Sealine C335 and C335v (the ‘v’ indicating a twin outboard-powered variant as an alternative to the inboard diesel option) while the range extends right up to a 53’ flagship F530 model.

The Sealine C335 still turns heads with its contemporary style cues and intelligent design features. Offering owners a lifestyle choice that promises superb performance and easy-to manoeuvre handling characteristics, combined with class-leading comfort from a protected saloon and helm, it allows you to embrace the outdoors but remain completely protected and secure. It features: an open, connected design of the open-plan saloon and aft cockpit through a wide bi-fold door; and full height opening galley window, wrapped in panoramic 360-degree saloon glazing, featuring extendable sun shades built-in to the yacht’s superstructure that means you will always have as much or as little sunshine as you wish for. A practical access door directly from the helm to the side deck is an invaluable element of the design and makes this one of the most driver-friendly boats available, especially when docking or coming alongside.

With twin cabins below decks, an amazingly large head and shower, along with a full-size galley in the saloon, gives the C335 models the space and feel of a much larger boat but in the ideally-proportioned size of a manageable 33-footer. Whether it is a day on the water with family and friends, a weekend escape to a favourite destination, or an extended cruise aboard exploring the Queensland coast or the Great Barrier Reef, the Sealine C335 has to be at the top of any list of versatile and stylish cruisers.

Support and service have always been crucial elements of boat ownership, something that Windcraft is renowned for. With full-time permanent Windcraft staff now in Queensland, backed by a dedicated Australian service team and a strong demand for their exclusive European brands on the Gold Coast waterways, they now have the ability to train, support, and service owners at the level that is demanded by the most discerning of clients.

Fjord Yachts range in size from 38’ to 52’, and offer owners membership to an exhilarating, iconic and highly exclusive club. Pricing starts at just over $600k (including outboard engines) for the ‘38 Xpress’, and up to over $2M for the flagship ‘52 Open’ model.

Sealine offer 11 models ranging from 33’ to 53’, featuring a variety of cabin, sports and flybridge variants. Pricing starts at a little over $540k for the C335, and a little over $1.8M for the F530.
