1999 Trojan 440 ExpressSold

At the helm, the 440 Express gives you excellent sightlines and a confidence-inspiring, deep freeboard feel—she rides solid when the breeze picks up. Wide side decks and substantial bow rails make line handling and anchoring less of a circus act, even with guests onboard. Below, the generous beam really shows: there’s enough floor space in the salon to move around without sideways shuffling, and headroom suits taller crew. Storage is a quiet highlight on this boat—under-seat bins, well-thought-out lockers, and cavernous compartments mean you can actually bring the gear you want. Engine access is straightforward through the cockpit, making regular checks and maintenance far less of a chore.

The Trojan 440 Express is well-suited to local waters where conditions can change from calm to choppy over the course of a day. Her length and beam provide a planted, predictable ride on open stretches, while the express layout still keeps you nimble enough for tighter harbor maneuvering and busy marinas. The generous cockpit works perfectly for day cruising with a crowd or sundowner raft-ups, yet the two-stateroom layout below makes overnighting comfortable when you want to stretch a weekend. With substantial tankage and efficient diesels, she’s ideal for longer runs between fuel docks and exploring more remote anchorages without sacrificing comfort.
