Spacious Cockpit and Innovative Design
The Moorings 44.4 boasts an expansive cockpit and a dual-access bathing platform, ensuring convenience and ease of use.

Elegant and Roomy Interior
Designed by Luca Ardizio, the interior of the Moorings 44.4 exudes elegance and comfort. The yacht features a flexible layout with four double cabins and a convertible saloon table, comfortably accommodating up to ten guests. The open-plan living spaces are bright and airy, and the stylish cabins are meticulously appointed for exceptional comfort. The unique hexagonal table in the saloon, complemented by movable stools, offers ample seating for social gatherings.
Premium Amenities for Superior Comfort
Equipped with high-end features, the Moorings 44.4 ensures both comfort and performance. Onboard, you’ll find a well-equipped galley, a contemporary saloon with LED lighting, and multiple USB outlets for convenience.

Every detail is thoughtfully designed to offer a premium sailing experience.
Streamlined Design and Optimal Handling
The Moorings 44.4, designed by Felci Yachts Design, features fluid lines and a balanced hull for excellent performance in diverse conditions. The innovative cockpit layout facilitates easy handling and manoeuvrability, even with a small or inexperienced crew. The strategically positioned winches and sheets make sailing straightforward and enjoyable, while the stable hull provides a thrilling yet safe ride.
Safe and Secure Sailing
The Moorings 44.4 is crafted for effortless sailing, making it ideal for both experienced sailors and newcomers. Its ergonomic deck layout and strategic control placements ensure ease of manoeuvring, whether solo or with a crew. The spacious and secure cockpit offers a safe and comfortable area for the crew to relax and enjoy the journey, shielded by a custom bimini and sprayhood (only available with The Moorings). The Moorings 44.4 epitomises the ideal balance of size, space, and sailing performance.
Dufour, more than most, focuses on the living experience in harbour – huge cockpits with high soles and unobstructed views forwards, great access to the water, and the trademark grill and outdoor galley beneath the transom seats are all there
On deck, the enlarged cockpit can seat at least six people, making it ideal for socializing and relaxation underway. The swim platform is enlarged, with a dual-access concept that’s intended to ease the guests’ transition between on-deck activities and relaxation.
On deck, the area between the helm stations and the two winches has been enlarged to make sail manoeuvring easier. At anchor, guests can enjoy bench sofas either side of the central folding table and can move around freely around the plancha grill aft due to the new double access to the fold-down swim platform, which has also been expanded.

“If you plan to charter multiple times a year and you enjoy it, you need to buy. I love the flexibility of use and that fact that we own a boat in the British Virgin Islands. As a Moorings Owner we don’t have to worry about insurance, dockage, repairs or maintenance. We use it, we enjoy it, and we love it. You get to explore more, and you meet a whole boating community. It also provides an opportunity to plug in with the locals, and you get to know people in a different light.”

All I can say is that we have been very impressed. The staff handling bookings and sales have been excellent. The marina staff and management throughout the world have been great. Basically everything I have been promised has been delivered. That is the reason we bought another boat. At the end of the day, we trust a company that has been around for so long.

“It is an affordable way to have a beautiful boat. The key word is affordable. Because the yacht is in the ownership program, it helps subsidize the cost of the yacht, And it is nice to be able to go to a beautiful place and enjoy your boat.”
