Reviewers highlight its direct helm feel, efficient rigging for short-handed sailing, elegant design, good seakeeping in waves, and spacious cockpit, though some note less interior volume than charter cats due to narrower hulls. It's seen as ideal for owners wanting a fast, seaworthy, and engaging cruiser, not just a floating condo. SCHEDULE YOUR SHOWING TODAY This Nautitech 44 Open offers a rare balance of true sailing performance and cruising comfort. It sails noticeably better than most production catamarans while retaining generous interior volume, strong systems redundancy, and a layout ideal for long-term family cruising. A turn-key, owner-operated boat that has been thoughtfully equipped and carefully maintained. Contact Current Yachts for your showing in Belize today!
