1980 Nauticat 44 Siltala Yachts, Finland;

Discover the allure of seafaring adventure with the timeless elegance of this beautiful 1980 Nauticat 44.

Crafted by Siltala Yachts of Finland and boasting a pedigree possibly derived from a Sparkman & Stephens design, this 51-foot beauty (LOA) blends traditional charm with modern capabilities, making her ideal for extended voyages or luxurious liveaboard living.

Equipped with dual helms–both on the aft deck and in the pilothouse, the Nauticat 44 ensures comfortable sailing in any weather. Designed for ease of handling and single-handing, with lines leading to the aft helm. She is built as a cutter-rigged schooner.

Below deck, accommodations for 6-7 persons include a spacious master cabin featuring a centerline 2-poster queen bed, a salon with a queen berth, a cozy pilothouse with a possible child berth and a V-berth in the forward cabin.

Recent updates and excellent maintenance enhance her appeal: a refurbished galley with Talavera tiles, a new Isotherm refrigerator, and a Splendide washer/dryer combo.

The pilothouse offers panoramic views and shelter from the elements, perfect for enjoying the journey in comfort.

Powered by a reliable 120-hp Ford Lehman/Gustaffson diesel engine with under 4600 hours, the Nauticat 44 is outfitted for long-distance cruising with a Cruise RO Watermaker (disconnected, but plumbing intact), wind generator, solar panels, and comprehensive navigation electronics including Garmin GPS and radar systems.

Her exterior shines with recent upgrades such as the Awlwood-coated brightwork. Safety equipment, including a Viking life raft and redundant communication systems, ensures peace of mind on the open water.

Unique and very well cared for, this is a rare find among Nauticat 44s, distinguished further by her blue hull and red-tan bark sails. Whether you’re dreaming of circumnavigation or coastal cruising, it’s inviting you to embark on your next maritime adventure.
