Unveiling the Wajer 44 in hotel swimming pool
Saint Tropez, July 31, 2023 – After its announcement earlier this year, Wajer Yachts proudly unveiled their new Wajer 44 last Wednesday. Not in the Mediterranean sea, but in the pool of the exclusive Hotel Le Beauvallon at the Cote d´Azur, witnessed by over 350 guests. The newest addition was spectacularly unveiled by Dries Wajer himself.
The Wajer 44 offers considerably more volume than the Wajer 38, however, at 13 metres, it is more compact than the Wajer 55. A spacious, open day boat that is also suitable for comfortable overnight stays for up to two passengers. Connectivity is the keyword because this model is fully equipped for smart boating through the Wajer Owners App. Over 25 units have already been sold.
“Getting the Wajer 44 into the swimming pool was quite the feat, however, as with the development of all our yachts, we aim to keep surprising. I am very proud to present the Wajer 44 to both our owners, and the rest of the world. A true Wajer with her signature clean lines, timeless appearance and innovative comfort.”
Dries Wajer, CEO of Wajer Yachts
When design connects
The Wajer 44 is completely focused on the Smart Boating concept. The owner can use the Wajer Owners App to connect to his Wajer 44 remotely. For example, to check the anchor position of the yacht during lunch on the beach. The air conditioning and hydraulically operated swimming ladder can also be easily operated via the app to ensure everything is ready when you step on board. The connectivity is not only available in the technical gadgets but is also implemented in the deck layout. The outdoor benches form a U-shape allowing the guests on board to literally connect together more easily.
