Nauticat 33 for sale

The Nauticat 33 is one of the best-known and most characteristic motor sailers of Finnish build. It stands for solid Scandinavian boatbuilding, high comfort and excellent seakeeping. The Nauticat 33 offered here, built in 1982, is in good, well-maintained condition and offers a successful combination of a classic motor sailer, a comfortable cruising yacht and a protected deckhouse saloon.
A particular highlight is the proven Ford Mermaid diesel engine with only approx. 1,500 operating hours. For a yacht of this age, this is a remarkably low running total. The reliable diesel engine makes the Nauticat 33 a commanding and comfortable cruising boat even on longer passages and complements its good sailing qualities with a powerful and proven motor drive.
The typical deckhouse concept is one of the greatest advantages of the Nauticat 33. The protected inside steering position offers an excellent all-round view and allows comfortable navigation even in bad weather or low temperatures. In fine weather, the outside steering position is also available. The raised steering position provides a very good overview and underlines the special character of this classic cruising yacht.
Below deck, the Nauticat 33 impresses with a homely and functional ambience. The woodwork typical of these yachts, generous stowage space and the well-thought-out layout create a pleasant sense of space. The saloon forms the central living area and offers ample room for relaxed hours on board. The existing sleeping and living areas make the yacht interesting both for longer voyages for two and for cruises with family or friends.
On deck, too, the Nauticat 33 is consistently designed for comfortable cruising under sail. The protected deckhouse and cockpit layout, the solid GRP construction and the classic ketch rig underline its character as a versatile motor sailer for extended cruises. In doing so, it combines the advantages of a sailing boat with the comfort and everyday practicality of a small motor yacht.
The Nauticat 33 was built by Siltala Yachts in Finland. The Nauticat brand is internationally known for robust construction, high-quality workmanship and long-distance cruising yacht concepts. These qualities have helped the Nauticat 33 remain one of the sought-after classic cruising yachts today.
Due to its 1982 build year, the yacht is in principle not subject to the later introduced European CE marking requirement. A CE marking is therefore not required. The Nauticat 33 was designed as a robust and seaworthy cruising yacht for demanding passages. With regard to its intended area of use, its concept can roughly be compared with today’s CE category B “Offshore”. This expressly does not constitute a retrospective CE certification or CE categorisation of the vessel.
With its good overall condition, the classic Nauticat design and the Ford Mermaid diesel with only approx. 1,500 operating hours, this Nauticat 33 offers an attractive opportunity for lovers of characterful and comfortable cruising yachts. Whether relaxed coastal cruises, longer voyages or extended stays on board – this Finnish motor sailer concept offers an exceptional combination of comfort, safety and classic yachting tradition.
