Nauticat 33 MkII

The Nauticat 33 was the design which propelled Nauticat into mass production boat building. Proving to be immensely popular around the world the model had a production run spanning almost 20 years before making way for the new Nauticat 331. Offering a huge amount of living space for a vessel of just 10 meters in length the design found favour with cruisers and liveaboards alike.

A later version of the Nauticat 33 MkII SEIL SULA has the later 331 style underwater hull configuration with fin and skeg, dramatically improving performance under sail. Below decks, she benefits from the later style of interior fitout and improved finish quality. Her inventory highlights include
