High Quality Sedan Bridge Cruiser

This Taiwan-built flybridge sedan offers a surprisingly spacious interior within its classic and understated design.  Crafted by Hi-Star, an offshoot of the renowned Ta Shing Yard (builders of Taswell sailboats, and Nordhavn trawlers), this 44-footer prioritizes comfortable living spaces and a high-quality build.

Step inside and discover a generously sized two-stateroom layout, featuring a galley-up arrangement and a lower helm for added convenience for when the weather gets challenging.  The master stateroom is particularly impressive, offering ample space and a large head with a separate shower.   A twin bunk guest stateroom to port ensures comfortable accommodations for all.

Rich teak woodwork, a hallmark of Asian boatbuilding, adorns the interior, creating a warm and inviting ambiance.  The spacious and well-organized engine room, easily accessible via lift-up steps in the forward stateroom passageway, houses twin reliable Caterpillar 375hp diesels.  These engines allow the Hi-Star 44 to cruise comfortably and economically at 11-15 knots.  

While the flybridge provides ample seating forward of the helm for enjoying panoramic views, the compact cockpit is equipped with a factory tackle center and box freezer.   This design choice makes the Hi-Star 44 ideal for leisurely cruising rather than serious fishing expeditions.
