The 1983 Nauticat 43 is a fiberglass pilothouse motor yacht built for extended cruising and living aboard. Powered by a single Ford Lehman diesel engine, she cruises at 8 knots and measures 43 feet in length with a 13.8-foot beam. The yacht has undergone numerous upgrades and documented maintenance throughout her ownership.
Accommodations consist of two private heads, each with electric vacu-flush toilets, and sleeping for up to nine people across four cabins: a forward V-berth with upper single bunk, convertible dinette berths, an aft stateroom with twin bunks, and a master stateroom with island berth. The galley is well-equipped with an Eno propane three-burner cooktop and oven, Gourmia air fryer, double stainless steel sink with drain board, and two separate refrigeration units—a Frigaboat and NovaKool. A Spectra Catalina 300 water maker provides fresh water, while hot and cold pressure water systems are installed throughout.
The salon features a raised dining table with seating on three sides, and a galley dinette seats five. Climate control is provided by an Espar diesel forced air heating system supplemented by five DeLonghi electric space heaters. A Spendide combo washer-dryer is installed for laundry.
