About the Nautitech 40

At 11.98 m the Nautitech 40 is in the most popular size class for cruising catamarans: big enough for a family or two couples, small enough for a couple to sail short-handed. Her beam of 6.91 m is typical for a cruising catamaran of this length.

Nautitech is a French catamaran builder from Rochefort that has belonged to Bavaria Yachts since 2014. The Open models put the twin helm stations aft, close to the cockpit.

Buying a used Nautitech 40

• Standing rigging older than about ten years is often questioned by insurers – check its age.
• Ask when the saildrive seals were last replaced and check the engines’ service history.
• Inspect both hulls, keels and rudders for grounding damage and check the bridgedeck for cracks.
• Many Nautitech boats come out of charter fleets. Ask for the full maintenance log and read our guide Ex-charter or owner’s version?.
• Always commission an independent survey with a haul-out – see our buying checklist.
