Fifteen knots. That is what the speedometer held through a 20 knot gust under code sail, numbers that belong to a performance catamaran rather than a comfortable cruiser. The Nautitech 48 Open is both at once, and she does not ask her owner to choose. She is the flagship of the Open range and the last design credited to naval architect Marc Lombard, and it shows in how deliberately her hull is drawn: narrow at the waterline for speed, then flared above running chines to recover the volume a near 15 metre catamaran needs below deck. Twin 57 HP Volvo Penta engines give an easy 8 knot cruise and up to 12 knots under power, while a foam cored, vacuum infused hull and carbon reinforced bulkheads keep her light enough for that speed to feel natural rather than forced. Four cabins sleep eight, and she needs only a single crew member to run comfortably. For an owner who wants a genuine sailing catamaran that still entertains like a cruising yacht, she is a considered, late career statement from one of the discipline’s most respected designers.

Performance

Under code sail in a building breeze, she simply keeps accelerating.

With roughly 15 knots of wind and the code sail flying, she held speeds from the low nines past 10 knots, and a 20 knot gust pushed the speedometer to 15, where it stayed. Beating upwind under the self-tacking jib alone, she settled into a steady 7 to 8 knots, proof that the performance is not limited to one point of sail. Twin 57 HP Volvo Penta D2 engines give a comfortable 8 knot cruise and a 12 knot top speed under power, with 80 HP Yanmar engines available for owners who want more reserve. A 600 litre fuel capacity carries her 500 nautical miles, and a 1.5 metre draught keeps her options open at anchor despite her size.

Engineering

Her speed is built in at the laminate, not bolted on afterwards.

Hull and deck are foam cored and vacuum infused, a construction method that keeps weight down without giving up stiffness, and interior bulkheads are cored and reinforced with carbon fibre where load demands it. Marc Lombard drew the hulls narrow at the waterline, then let them flare above running chines, a shape that trades nothing in speed while recovering genuine volume for accommodation above. At 11,500 kilograms displacement for a near 15 metre catamaran, the balance between light, fast and genuinely spacious is deliberate rather than accidental, and it is the kind of engineering decision that only shows itself once you are living aboard rather than looking at her from the dock.

Interior & Accommodation

Four staterooms, five possible layouts, and not one of them feels like a compromise.

The owner’s stateroom sits in the port hull with a guest stateroom aft of it, while a flexible smart room forward in the starboard hull can be fitted as a second berth, a utility room with a washer and dryer, or simply more storage. Woodwork comes in light walnut as standard, with oak available for owners who want a different mood below. The result sleeps eight across four cabins and needs only one crew member to run, which keeps her practical for an owner operator rather than demanding a full professional crew. It is a layout built around real choices rather than a single fixed plan.

Living Spaces

The saloon does not end at a bulkhead. It simply keeps going into the cockpit.

A sliding door and adjoining window join the bridgedeck saloon to a bimini shaded cockpit with its own dining table, so the boundary between inside and out barely registers. Inside, a forward facing navigation station sits to port, fridges and freezers line the starboard side, and a stand up bar with a bookshelf behind it anchors the space in between. The U shaped galley faces aft, with a hand off counter so whoever is cooking can pass plates straight into the cockpit. Wide side decks and handholds moulded into the cabin top make moving forward easy underway, and twin aft helms keep the person steering connected to everything happening around them.

Ownership & Specification

At 950,000 euros new, she asks a considered price for a considered yacht.

Naval architecture is the last work credited to Marc Lombard, with Nautitech’s own in-house team handling interior and engineering, continuing the formula that defines the rest of the Open range. She carries up to twelve guests by day and sleeps eight across four cabins, and at 14.7 metres she is the largest expression yet of the Open concept the yard pioneered a decade ago. An 11,500 kilogram displacement and a single crew requirement keep her within reach of an owner operator, while the performance on offer rewards anyone who still wants to sail rather than simply arrive. She is the flagship for a reason.
