Fjord 36 Open yacht charter in Marseille
The Fjord 36 Open makes a compact Marseille day feel close to the sea, with a central shaded helm and separate forward and aft places to sit.

The open deck is the main living area
Patrick Banfield’s straight bow and clean hull lines give the 36 Open its recognisable profile. The helm sits near the centre beneath a T-top, leaving passages along the sides. Forward seating and the aft lounging area provide two distinct outdoor settings within a relatively compact boat. The swimming platform extends the experience at a suitable stop.

The open deck is the main living area
The manufacturer also describes a cabin with a double bed, toilet, stove and refrigerator. These are useful day-cruising facilities rather than a substitute for the enclosed saloon of a larger yacht. Guests who want most of the outing outdoors may value that balance; those who need extensive indoor shelter should compare a different type.
A concise outing from Marseille
A morning passage, a comfortable stop and lunch can make a complete day without travelling far from the bay. The lower seating and proximity to the water give the trip an immediate feel, while the central helm keeps the skipper close to the guests. A sensible course matters more than a top-speed figure.
For a short celebration or a couple’s outing, keep the catering easy to serve and describe how much shade the party needs. A T-top shelters a specific part of the deck, rather than the entire seating area. Cooler departure hours or a shorter programme may fit the guests better than an extended midday cruise.
Select the Open version deliberately
Fjord produced several 36 variants, including the Xpress and MY Tender. This guide concerns the inboard 36 Open shown in the regional reference. Platform configurations also affect the published overall length, which is why the beam and deck format are the more useful first comparison here.

Departure questions to settle
Is this the outboard Fjord 36 Xpress?
No. The profile is for Fjord 36 Open. The Xpress is a separate variant and should be identified as such in an offer.
