Nauticat / Siltala Yachts Nauticat 44 (1980) For sale

Nauticat 44 (1980) offers an unusually well-maintained blend of long-range comfort, strength, and offshore security. This particular vessel has been extensively upgraded in recent years and suits an owner looking for a motorsailer built for serious, year-round use.

Equipped with a professional hydronic heating system, individual thermostats, and a range of modern installations, the boat is designed for comfortable living aboard even during extended periods. The interior features solid wood craftsmanship and updated materials throughout, including new cushions, carpets, curtains, and lighting solutions that create a warm and timeless atmosphere.

The electronics package has been modernised with chartplotters from both Raymarine and Simrad, Furuno systems for autopilot, radar, and VHF, as well as a Victron-based electrical system with solar power, inverter, and upgraded batteries. The redesigned aft cabin, featuring a large double berth with Tempur mattresses, provides a level of comfort rarely found on yachts of this vintage.

With hydraulic steering, bow thruster, twin electric windlasses, a comprehensive sail wardrobe, and a hull that has undergone several major refurbishments in recent years, this Nauticat 44 offers a safe, practical, and exceptionally well-equipped platform for bluewater cruising and year-round operation.
