2007–2018
The Fjord 40 Cruiser is the enclosed companion to the early modern Fjord 40 Open. It retains the planing hull and twin IPS propulsion but adds a glass-enclosed salon and two-cabin accommodation for more weather-protected cruising.

Best for
- Couples wanting Fjord styling with genuine enclosed cruising accommodation
- Fast coastal cruising in mixed weather
- Owners comfortable maintaining twin IPS systems
Trade-offs
- Twin IPS machinery is maintenance-intensive compared with a single shaft drive
- Broad beam and high-speed systems increase ownership cost
- Less open deck area than the 40 Open
Known concerns
- No model-specific concern has been promoted to B-Atlas’s evidence threshold. This does not mean the model has no age-, condition- or hull-specific risks.
Inspection focus
- Inspect IPS pods, steering, seals and corrosion protection
- Inspect salon glazing, doors and roof penetrations
- Inspect both diesels, cooling and exhaust systems
- Inspect electrical, HVAC and sanitation systems
- Confirm displacement and tankage for model year
