Nauticat 38 for sale

The Nauticat 38 is an iconic motorsailer from the Finnish shipyard Nauticat Yachts, renowned for the build quality of its boats and their ability to cross long distances in comfort. Designed for offshore cruising, this model combines the seakeeping qualities of a traditional sailboat with the practicality of an indoor wheelhouse, allowing comfortable passage in any weather conditions.

This 1980 Nauticat 38 recently underwent a complete restoration, carried out after approximately 300 hours of engine operation. This refit today ensures a sound boat that is ready to sail.

Propulsion is provided by an 80 hp Ford Lehman diesel engine with 4,900 hours on the clock. This engine is renowned for its robustness and reliability in the boating world. It allows the boat to reach a cruising speed of approximately 7 knots with extremely low fuel consumption of about 4 litres per hour, making it a particularly economical boat for long passages.

The solid fibreglass construction and the typical Nauticat design offer excellent stability and reassuring behaviour at sea. The wide, secure side decks make it easy to move around the deck, while the wheelhouse allows sailing in shelter.

The interior of the boat is particularly comfortable for a sailboat of this size. It has two double cabins that can accommodate several people on board, as well as two bathrooms. The living spaces are generous, with two separate saloons: a saloon in the wheelhouse that can seat five people and a main saloon offering a friendly space for six people.

The galley is spacious and well equipped with a gas cooker, an oven and a refrigerator, making it easy to prepare meals during extended cruises.

Thanks to its range, low fuel consumption and comfortable layout, this Nauticat 38 is an excellent platform for long-distance cruising or for living aboard. Offered at €98,000, it represents an attractive opportunity for a boater seeking a robust, economical sailboat ready for adventure.
