Chosen by professional skippers through the Capt’n Boat platform, the Nautitech 44 Open impressed industry experts with its blend of performance, practicality, and onboard comfort. This French-built catamaran, also designed by Marc Lombard, spans 13.30 metres in overall length with a beam of 7.36 metres, offering excellent stability and space. It displaces 10.90 tonnes and is powered by twin 30 HP engines. Its water capacity is 2 x 300 litres, while the fuel system comprises two tanks of 250 litres each, making it capable of long-distance cruising without compromising efficiency. The skippers praised the 44 Open for its clean, functional layout, robust construction, and engaging sailing performance—attributes that make it ideal for extended offshore passages, charter operations, and liveaboard life. With its signature open-plan saloon and cockpit integration, the 44 Open continues to strengthen Nautitech’s reputation among experienced sailors.
