The Nautitech 44 Open is announced European Yacht of the Year
The Nautitech 44 Open was announced European Yacht of the Year’s Best Multihull for 2023 at the opening ceremony of Boot Düsseldorf this weekend. The winners were decided after a long process of shortlisting and European sea trials throughout the year by 12 jury members from different magazines and countries. The Nautitech team were present at the show on Saturday to collect the award.

“I consider this 44 Open to be the ideal size to go distance sailing, with good performance, low draught and space for family and friends…Out of all the multihulls nominated or sailed in the last year, this cat impressed me the most.” – Toby Hodges, Yachting World
“This is a catamaran that makes the heart beat out at sea rather than at a boat show.” – Axel Nissen-Lie, Norwegian Juror


The N44 was also recently named in SAIL Magazine’s Top 10 Best Boats for 2023.
The Key Yachting team is very pleased that this fantastic model has been highly regarded by many in the sailing and multihull community.
Clarissa and Wayne are at Düsseldorf Boat Show for the rest of the week for any Nautitech, J Boat, Grand Soleil or Tofinou questions.
You can see the Nautitech 44 open at La Grande Motte International Multihull Show 12 – 16th April, or at South Coast Boat Show 21st – 23rd April in Ocean Village, Southampton.
