She sails easily and motors just as confidently.
Twin Volvo Penta D1-30 saildrives are standard, with D2-40 units or Yanmar 3YM30 engines available for owners who want more reserve power, and together they give a comfortable 8 knot cruise and a 12 knot top end. A 430 litre fuel capacity carries her 300 nautical miles between fills, while a 1.4 metre draught keeps shallow bays and marinas within reach. Marc Lombard’s fine entry hulls do the quiet work under sail, and a self-tacking jib, with a furling code 0 available as an upgrade, means the mainsheet and traveller controls at one helm are enough to handle her short-handed. Twin helm stations sit low and aft in each hull, giving a clear view forward whichever side you choose.
Her deck is built for movement, not display.
A broad trampoline stretches between the hulls forward, and wide side decks run clear to the mast and bow without obstruction. Aft, large boarding platforms on each hull meet the water at a sensible height, and a tender rides on davits between them, out of the way until needed. A solid bimini shelters the entire cockpit, its trailing edge carrying the mainsheet traveller, and a rail mounted barbecue sits ready at the back. Halyards are led aft to the mast rather than into the cockpit, which keeps the whole social area free of running rigging. It is a layout built around a 6.9 metre beam used well, rather than wasted on open deck nobody sits on.
Below deck, she sleeps eight without anyone compromising on privacy.
Four cabins split two to a hull, each pairing a queen or double berth with its own head and shower, so a family or two couples sharing can each keep their own bathroom. Hanging lockers and generous storage line both hulls, lit by hull windows and overhead hatches rather than relying on artificial light during the day. A three cabin version is also offered, trading the second berth in one hull for a larger owner’s retreat with its own forward bathroom. Safety is built in rather than added on, with escape hatches fitted under the companionway steps in each hull. For a yacht just under 12 metres, the sense of space below is generous rather than merely adequate.
The Open concept does its best work right here, where the saloon simply stops pretending to be indoors.
Sliding doors join the bridgedeck saloon to the cockpit so the two read as one room under the bimini, with clears fitted to close the sides when weather asks for it. The galley sits to starboard, its sink and hob facing aft so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation, backed by a forward facing prep counter with real storage. Opposite, a smaller seating area doubles as a chart table, its top dropping to extend the settee when the crowd grows. It is a layout that keeps eight people comfortable without feeling like eight people are sharing one room, which is the whole point of the Open idea she helped start.
At around 300,000 euros new, she is the accessible end of a concept that usually costs more.
Naval architecture and exterior lines come from Marc Lombard, while Nautitech’s own in-house team handles the interior and engineering, keeping the build consistent with the rest of the range. She carries up to eight guests by day and sleeps eight at night across four cabins, with berths for two crew when owners want to run her fully crewed. An 8,900 kilogram displacement keeps her light enough to sail well without sacrificing the tankage and storage a genuine cruising catamaran needs. For a buyer weighing a first catamaran against a larger monohull, the Nautitech 40 Open offers comparable living space at a lower point of entry, with a decade of Open concept refinement already built in.
