Episode 1 — Helm and Extended Scoop
The 444 ES
The Ultimate Cruising Catamaran For Couples
The Vision 444 ES is an extension of the original flagship 444 with an Extended Scoop. It offers all the same features as the 444, but the extended scoop adds 280 mm to the aft platform — a wider, flatter space that makes boarding from the dock, loading, diving, fishing and swimming markedly easier. Purpose-built for short-handed offshore performance, with all sail controls managed from the protected helm.

Walk through the Vision 444 ES.
Aboard
Designed for life onboard.
01Forward Facing Internal Nav Station
Located to starboard inside the main saloon, the forward facing navigation station allows skippers to safely monitor instruments, sails and weather from the comfort and protection of the interior, ideal for long-distance passage making or overnight watches in any weather. Situated just inside the sliding doors leading to the cockpit, this location makes the transition between inside and outside seamless whilst on watch. With an expansive near-280° view of the horizon, wide seating and ample desktop space, the nav area is both comfortable and functional as a practical workspace or onboard office space.
02Easy Access Systems Lockers
Dedicated systems lockers centralise the Vision 444 ES's key electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems. Designed for easy access and maintenance, these centralised technical spaces simplify routine inspections and servicing while keeping critical equipment organised and protected. Locker doors can also be completely removed, providing unobstructed access to equipment, allowing maintenance tasks to be carried out efficiently and safely.
03Dedicated Workshop
The owner's suite features a dedicated workshop with a full workbench, power outlets, and storage for tools, spares and service kits. The space is also ideal for hanging and drying sails, wetsuits, laundry, and other gear. Designed for extended cruising, the workshop offers easy access to key systems via a concealed centerline bilge section.
04Protected Raised Helm Station
All sail controls are managed directly from the protected helm station, with electric winches, soft-shackle rigging, and a twin-sheet mainsheet bridle system. Raised for superior visibility, the helm features a transparent roof for monitoring the sails overhead, while an integrated enclosure screen provides added protection in all conditions. The helm station offers panoramic visibility and fingertip control, with multifunction displays, autopilot, and a responsive mechanical steering system that delivers direct feedback.
05Dedicated Engine Rooms
Uniquely designed for superior accessibility and ease of maintenance, the Vision 444 ES features dedicated, walk-in style engine compartments located beneath the aft cabin bunks. Powered by Nanni Tier 3-compliant engines with high-output XT alternators. The space is built for convenience and safety, featuring front-facing service points, an integrated oil extraction pump, a dedicated workbench with tool storage, and well-lit flooring with clear labelling and good ventilation. This smart layout simplifies routine maintenance and troubleshooting at sea.
06Extended Scoop
The ES model's extended sugar scoop adds 280mm to the aft platform, providing a wider, flatter space. This is ideal for diving, fishing, gear transfer, easy boarding and lifestyle on the water, whilst enhancing usability and comfort. Enhanced with a higher sugar step to the waterline and a shallower rocker angle from the mini keels aft, the ES model offers improved comfort, functionality, and access without compromising performance.
07Open Galley
Crafted from real handcrafted wood, the galley combines timeless craftsmanship with modern functionality. Multiple layout configurations allow owners to tailor the space to their needs, with custom options for appliances, countertop space, and storage. A large sliding galley window opens seamlessly to the cockpit, creating an effortless indoor–outdoor flow and keeping the chef connected with guests relaxing outside.
08Sail Plan for Single Handed
The Vision 444 ES is purpose-built for short-handed offshore performance. All sail controls are managed directly from the protected helm, with electric winches, soft-shackle rigging, and a twin-sheet mainsheet bridle system. Deck gear is simplified yet secure, with soft shackles, pad eyes, grab rails, and strategically positioned tether points to support safe movement underway. Built with mini-keels and a self-tacking jib, the Vision 444 ES prioritises ease of use and low maintenance. The sailing systems can be configured to suit the owner's requirements, whether optimised for single-handed sailing, short-handed cruising, or operation with additional crew.
09Customisable Finishes
Make the Vision 444 ES truly your own with a wide range of customisation options designed to reflect your style, preferences, and cruising lifestyle. From upholstery, finishes, flooring, and interior wood selections to headboards, countertop materials, and design details, every space can be tailored to your taste. Owners can also configure the galley to suit their needs, with a choice of layouts, cooking appliances, sinks, refrigeration solutions, storage arrangements, and optional household conveniences such as a dishwasher or washing machine. The result is a yacht that feels uniquely personal, without compromising the performance and practicality at the heart of the Vision 444 ES.
