About
The Perfect Balance Between Sailing Performance and Liveaboard Comfort!
The Nautitech 47 is widely regarded as one of the best-looking catamarans ever built. She looks quick, nimble and elegant even while sitting still. That said, she's not only about good looks, she's a real sailor's boat that goes quick, is very responsive and has a sporty feel, while still retaining large and comfortable interior spaces. With only around 38 of these boats built in a 6-year run, these are hand-built, really well constructed, safe, blue-water boats.
The outboard helms provide amazing sightlines and really connect you with the wind and the sea when underway. When the weather is inclement, let the pilot drive and stay dry in the comfortable cockpit underneath the huge hard bimini top. The lack of flybridge allows for an enormous, powerful mainsail with a boom set low down for a much lower center of effort and greater stability.
Build quality of these boats is top notch; even in heavy seas there's no sense of stressing the boat, she remains quiet and composed, really inspiring confidence. This model features enormous wide side decks further inspiring confidence when moving around the vessel. These may be the best-built production boats of their era.
Upstairs is a u-shaped galley that is larger and more practically laid out than most catamarans of this size. The saloon is large, open and airy, the folding dining table able to seat perhaps 8 guests. There's also a very comfortable and practical navigation station for piloting when underway, or that serves as a comfortable workspace while stationary. Throughout the boat the furnishings are higher-quality wood veneers, there's no sense of ikea flat pack furniture on these vessels.
Down below are 4 cabins with ensuite heads, plus 2 kiddie/crew berths in each of the the forepeaks. Berths are large and comfortable, surrounded by rich and beautiful real-wood panelling. (One of the 4 heads is currently converted to a laundry facility). Plentiful ports and hatches makes for an airy, breezy sleep.
The vessel has always been a full-time cruiser and will be delivered ready to carry on exploring the Caribbean and beyond. She's equipped with high-quality Lithium battery bank, 2 solar arrays, 60L/hr watermaker. A large front-opening fridge and separate front-opening freezer keep you in fresh food for many days. The vessel comes with all the household goods required to cruise immediately.
She's powered by 54HP 4JH Yanmars with around 3,000 hours. Slow cruise fuel consumption is 2.2 Litres per hour per engine. SD50 Saildrives (recently disassembled and refreshed) are equipped with folding propellers for efficiency under sail. The 3.4M Highfield tender is new from April of 2021, 18 HP Tohatsu Everrun outboard is from October of 2021.

Your team delivered on every mark. You’ve got an amazing broker in Mark Wattrus and I’m confident you will have continued success moving forward together. He was available 24/7 whenever I had questions. We had a great initial visit on the boat and his marketing plan and photos were superb
I bought a yacht that I had never seen. I did this because I trusted my broker Andrew Holland. It was not an easy job for Andrew, as I am an experienced boat builder and owner of previous yachts, but work in West Africa. Imagine how hard it was to communicate what I was looking for. Andrew came up with exactly what I wanted. He dealt with time delays, all my questions at odd hours, and was there for the survey. He reported honestly and professionally. After buying the yacht, I arrived at the boat on a Sunday night, after dark, after travelling from West Africa to the Caribbean, and found it was better than expected. He never pulled punches and made me aware of shortfalls. I expected to spend my one month leave working on the boat, but actually spent less than one week, and was able to spend 3 weeks sailing – wonderful bonus.
Thank you Andrew for putting up with all my questions, all my worries and all my crazy out of the time zone concerns – you were totally professional, but also I know that if and when we meet up, it will be like a friend finally meeting. You are always welcome on Aseka.
Outstanding company with professional subject matter experts. If I were to buy or sell cruising sailboat, particularly a catamaran, Andrew would be my go to broker.
I have been sailing since I was a child and attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy. But when my wife and I began the process of purchasing an ocean cruising/racing catamaran, I realized that this is a world unto itself. Obviously, we needed to find someone knowledgeable to help us make an informed decision. More importantly, we needed someone honest and willing to put our interests before his or her own. I was lucky to work with Phil Berman at The Multihull Company. He repeatedly shunned the fast buck, choosing instead to work the long road to connect us with the “perfect boat”. I would be glad to recommend Phil and his company to anyone planning to purchase or sell a performance sailing machine.
Andrew Hodgdon was our broker when we bought our 2018 Lagoon 450F in Antigua in April 2922. He provided great service and was very attentive to our needs. We would highly recommend Andrew and the Multihull Company.
Successful relationships cannot exist without it. At The Multihull Company we base every relationship on a firm commitment to earning and retaining our client’s trust.
Advice of any kind is valuable only when grounded in hard-won expertise. It too, must be trustworthy. Trust and expertise define the heart and soul of The Multihull Company.
