Our Take

The 2022 Fjord 52 Open represents the pinnacle of Fjord's open-style express cruiser lineup, delivering Scandinavian design sophistication with genuine offshore capability. At 53.67 feet in length with a 15.75-foot beam, this Norwegian-built vessel combines the signature walk-around deck safety and accessibility that defines the Fjord brand with the performance and interior refinement serious cruisers demand.

Propulsion comes from a pair of Volvo Penta IPS 800 drives, delivering the power and efficiency needed for a 32-knot top speed while maintaining a comfortable 27-knot cruising pace. The IPS pod-drive architecture not only provides excellent fuel efficiency and low-noise operation but also maximizes interior volume by eliminating traditional engine tunnels—a key advantage in a 52-footer designed around usable living space. With a 455-gallon fuel capacity and 85-gallon water tank, the Fjord 52 Open is equipped for extended coastal and offshore cruising without constant refueling stops.

The redesigned interior showcases contemporary Scandinavian craftsmanship throughout. Modern wood finishes, mirrored cabinetry, and carefully selected textiles create an elegant aesthetic that feels both timeless and current. The owner's suite features designer-grade bathroom fixtures and innovative material combinations that elevate the everyday experience of yacht ownership. The open layout maximizes sightlines and natural light, while the full walk-around deck provides unobstructed access to bow and stern—a practical safety feature that also enhances the vessel's traditional trawler-yacht appeal.

The Fjord 52 Open splits the difference between a comfortable cruising platform and a capable performer, making it well-suited for owners seeking a mid-range express cruiser with genuine transatlantic potential, strong resale value, and the kind of thoughtful Scandinavian engineering that rewards long-term ownership.

2022 Fjord 52 Open: Nordic Design Meets Confident Cruising Performance
The 2022 Fjord 52 Open represents the pinnacle of Fjord's open express philosophy, combining Scandinavian design discipline with genuine offshore capability. At 53.67 feet in length with a 15.75-foot beam, this vessel delivers the walk-around deck safety and interior refinement that define the Fjord brand, paired with twin Volvo Penta IPS 800 propulsion that elevates performance and handling into the modern power yacht category.
Overview and Design Philosophy
Fjord's 52 Open model stands as the flagship of the manufacturer's open series, engineered for owners who demand both aesthetic sophistication and practical seaworthiness. The Nordic design language is evident throughout—clean lines, purposeful deck layout, and an uncompromising attention to material quality and finish. The vessel's walk-around deck configuration remains a cornerstone of Fjord's safety and usability philosophy, offering protected passage around the helm station and easy access to all working areas without requiring exterior handholds or exposed climbing. The 2022 build year captures Fjord's refined approach to the open express category, a segment that bridges the gap between day cruising and extended offshore travel. With a cruising speed of 27 knots and a maximum speed of 32 knots, the 52 Open is positioned as a serious cruising platform rather than a racing machine—speed sufficient for comfortable passage making without the fuel consumption or noise profile of high-performance designs.
Power and Propulsion
Twin Volvo Penta IPS 800 pod drives provide the mechanical foundation for the 52 Open's performance envelope. The IPS 800 system, rated at 800 horsepower per unit, delivers 1,600 total shaft horsepower and represents one of Volvo's most mature and refined propulsion solutions for vessels in this size and weight class. IPS pod drive architecture offers several operational advantages over traditional inboard or outboard configurations: superior fuel efficiency through optimized propeller design, reduced noise and vibration through isolated engine mounts, and joystick-style helm control that simplifies maneuvering in confined spaces and docking situations. The pod drive configuration also lowers the vessel's center of gravity compared to traditional shaft drives, improving stability and ride quality in moderate sea states. Fuel capacity of 455 gallons supports extended cruising range at economical speeds, with the 27-knot cruise speed balancing passage-making efficiency against the desire for timely arrivals at destination ports.
Layout and Deck Design
The walk-around deck design is fundamental to Fjord's safety and functionality philosophy. Unlike many modern express cruisers that prioritize interior volume at the expense of exterior usability, the 52 Open maintains clear, protected passage around the helm station and cabin structure. This layout allows crew and guests to move safely between the bow and stern without requiring exterior handholds, climbing over railings, or navigating exposed side decks—a particularly valuable feature in rough water or at night. The foredeck incorporates generous bow seating and lounging areas, positioned to take advantage of forward visibility and natural ventilation. The helm station is elevated and well-positioned for 360-degree visibility, with the characteristic Fjord design that places the skipper in command of the vessel's immediate environment without isolation from crew or guests. Aft of the cabin trunk, the cockpit space supports comfortable entertaining and fishing configurations. The transom design accommodates various configurations depending on owner preferences, from extended swim platform and water sports equipment to fishing-focused layouts. The beam of 15.75 feet provides meaningful interior volume without creating the heavy, beamy proportions that can compromise seakeeping in confused seas.
Helm and Cockpit Station
The helm layout reflects modern power yacht ergonomics, with instrument placement, seating comfort, and control accessibility engineered for extended passages. Volvo's joystick control system integrates with the IPS 800 pods to simplify helm operation, particularly in close-quarters maneuvering where traditional dual-lever controls would require constant attention to trim and differential throttle inputs. The elevated helm position provides commanding visibility forward and to both sides, essential for confident navigation in varied water conditions and crowded anchorages. The cockpit arrangement supports both active cruising and relaxed entertaining, with seating positioned to maintain sightlines and conversation flow without compromising the skipper's operational space.
Interior and Accommodation
The redesigned interior represents a significant refinement of Fjord's cabin philosophy, moving beyond purely functional accommodation toward a modern living space that supports extended cruising. Modern wood selections, mirrored closet doors, and carefully curated wall textiles create an interior environment that feels contemporary rather than nautical-themed—a deliberate design choice that appeals to owners accustomed to high-end residential interiors. The owner's bathroom features designer fittings and material combinations that elevate the typical yacht head into a genuine spa-like retreat. The integration of innovative materials—from textiles to hardware to lighting—creates a cohesive design narrative that runs throughout the cabin spaces. This attention to material quality and finish reflects the Scandinavian design tradition of combining functionality with understated luxury. The cabin accommodations support comfortable overnight and extended cruising, with sleeping berths, storage solutions, and climate control engineered for the realities of live-aboard and extended passage-making. Water capacity of 85 gallons supports reasonable freshwater autonomy for crew and guest comfort, adequate for vessels in this size class that typically operate within range of shore-based resupply.
Comfort and Climate Control
Modern air conditioning and heating systems maintain cabin comfort across seasonal variations and geographic cruising ranges. The interior volume created by the 15.75-foot beam and well-designed cabin trunk allows for effective climate control without the noise and fuel consumption penalties of oversized systems. Lighting throughout the interior employs modern LED technology, reducing electrical load while providing the color temperature and dimming flexibility that modern interiors demand. The combination of natural ventilation through cabin windows and ports, supplemented by mechanical climate control, creates a comfortable interior environment without requiring constant mechanical conditioning.
Galley and Provisioning
The galley layout supports meal preparation for the vessel's accommodation capacity, with refrigeration, cooking appliances, and storage positioned for efficient provisioning and daily use. The galley's integration into the overall cabin design maintains the aesthetic coherence that defines the 52 Open's interior, avoiding the purely utilitarian appearance that characterizes many fishing and working vessels.
Why This 2022 Fjord 52 Open Merits Consideration
The 2022 Fjord 52 Open occupies a specific and valuable position within the express cruiser category: a vessel large enough for genuine offshore capability and extended cruising, yet small enough to operate efficiently and handle responsively in confined anchorages and coastal passages. The Volvo Penta IPS 800 propulsion delivers the blend of power, efficiency, and operational simplicity that modern owners expect, while the walk-around deck design and Scandinavian interior philosophy appeal to buyers who reject the overstated luxury aesthetic in favor of refined, functional design. The 27-knot cruising speed and 32-knot maximum performance balance passage-making efficiency against the desire for timely arrivals, while the 455-gallon fuel capacity enables meaningful cruising range without requiring constant refueling. The interior's modern material palette and attention to finish quality suggest an owner who valued living aboard and extended cruising over weekend entertaining alone. For buyers seeking a capable, well-designed express cruiser with genuine offshore credentials, modern propulsion, and Scandinavian design integrity, the 2022 Fjord 52 Open represents a mature, thoughtfully engineered platform positioned at $1,195,000 in Coral Gables, Florida.
