Key Yachting's team delivered this brand new Nautitech 46 Open from La Rochelle to Hamble. With the wind building to over 30 knots it was a quick trip with the luxury cruising catamaran averaging ten knots and surfing at over 20! The boat will now be under going 5 weeks of work fitting out to the owner's requirements before being shipped to Turkey to start the great adventure.
Key Yachting became the UK distributor for Nautitech in 2012, we knew the brand would complement our performance monohull ranges. It took 2-3 years for our customers to really appreciate the appeal of these boats, and we now sell more Nautitech Catamarans to private individuals than any other dealer. While many of the Nautitechs we sell are destined for the Med or Caribbean, many of our owners have their boats delivered to the UK first, to spend 2-3 seasons familiarising themselves with her before setting off for good.
The advantages of catamarans are unmistakable. Fast, level sailing, in a vessel that can be singlehanded or fully crewed, for extended passages in unrivalled comfort. Catamarans have soared in popularity in the last few years, thanks to developments in design that mean they now appeal to owners who want a boat that really sails.
We run open weekends in the spring and autumn, so if you are looking to try sailing a Nautitech, please get in touch. For more information visit: www.keyyachting.com
