BB Yachts is a new French-Italian boat builder which debuted this year with two sport cruiser models based on the same 44 platform and designed by Ferragni, both World wide presented at the 2024 Genoa boat show. As a first BB Yacht here on PowerYachtBlog we present the Ischia 44 the more traditional raised fore-deck of the two models. The fore deck is the difference between this Ischia and the other Panarea 44. Unlike most new offers in this fourteen meter size, BB Yachts is not a walk-around sport cruiser, but a clean lined modern open sport cruiser with a wide body cockpit deck, no side deck aimed to make the best of the four meters plus of beam. With the wide body, the BB Yachts 44 offers a very spacious cockpit with a central corridor, offering two side lounges mini sun-pads, two C-shape dinettes, and a central helm station. To the sides of the helm station is a wet-bar, located to port side, while to starboard is an opening windscreen which take to the fore-deck and its sunbed area. Down below the BB Yachts Ischia 44 offers a sleeping area with an accommodation for four persons, with a double berth forward, and separate cabin at midships sleeping two. BB Yachts is powered by twin Cummins 355hp as standard, with two other options of 425 and 550hp and line shaft propulsion. As speeds go these go from 29 from the standard 355hp to 38 knots from the big 550hp. An outboard version is also offered with triple 400, 450, and 500hp choices. No speed data is offered for the outboards but expect it to be at forty knots plus.
