Testimonials from the international jury:
🇫🇷 Sébastien Mainguet, Voiles et Voiliers:
“Easily sailing at 12 or even 15 knots, with minimal heeling yet offering maximum interior and exterior comfort—this is what the new Nautitech delivers. It also stands out with its impeccable finishes and a design that makes it look stunning on the water.”
🇮🇹 Alberto Mariotti, @SUPER YACHT24:
“Space, style and performance combine perfectly in this cruising catamaran. […] stands out for its thin hulls that offer little resistance, ease of manoeuvring and that typical monohull feeling that is often missing on catamarans.”
