Siltala Yachts Nauticat 38 Ketch

The Nauticat 38 is an iconic motorsailer sailboat from the Finnish shipyard Nauticat Yachts, renowned for the quality of its construction and its ability to cruise comfortably over long distances. Designed for offshore cruising, this model combines the seaworthiness of a traditional sailboat with the practicality of an interior helm station, allowing comfortable navigation regardless of weather conditions.

This 1980 Nauticat 38 has recently undergone a complete refurbishment, carried out approximately 300 hours of engine operation ago. This upgrade ensures the boat is sound and ready to sail.

Power is provided by an 80 horsepower Ford Lehman diesel engine with 4900 hours total. This engine is known for its robustness and reliability in the recreational boating sector. It enables the boat to reach a cruising speed of about 7 knots with an extremely low fuel consumption of around 4 liters per hour, making it a particularly economical unit for long-distance navigation.

The solid fiberglass construction and typical Nauticat design offer excellent stability and reassuring handling at sea. Wide, secure walkways facilitate movement on deck, while the helm station provides sheltered navigation.

The interior of the boat is particularly comfortable for a vessel of this size. It features two double cabins to accommodate multiple people aboard, as well as two bathrooms. Living spaces are generous, with two separate lounges: a helm station lounge that can seat five people and a main salon offering a convivial space for six people.

The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped with a gas stove, an oven, and a refrigerator, enabling easy meal preparation during extended cruises.

Thanks to its self-sufficiency, low consumption, and comfortable layout, this Nauticat 38 makes an excellent platform for long-distance cruising or living aboard. Offered at a price of €98,000, it represents an attractive opportunity for a sailor seeking a robust, economical sailboat ready for adventure.
