The Nautitech 44 Open is a 44-foot fiberglass catamaran with a beam of 24.17 feet, powered by twin 100 hp Volvo Penta diesel engines. Built as a bluewater cruising platform, the design combines a refined hull form with contemporary rig and control systems. The catamaran was recognized as European Yacht of the Year in 2023 and selected as a top 10 best boat by Sail Magazine that same year.
The open layout revolves around a central salon and galley arrangement with 360-degree sightlines to the surrounding water. A bar area separates the galley from the main living space, creating distinct zones while maintaining visual connection throughout. The design prioritizes flow and livability for extended cruising.
Dual helm stations provide commanding views and independent steering positions. The forward station offers clear sightlines of the sails and horizon, while the aft helm maintains central control of sail handling and crew coordination. The steering system uses a shorter circuit for responsive handling at the wheel.
