Urteil
A sporty, well-balanced cruising catamaran with a bright open-plan layout and strong passagemaking potential. It favors sailing feel over maximum volume, which helps performance, though interior space and tankage are not as generous as some rivals.

- +Shallow draft broadens cruising ground access
Nachteile

- −Performance comes with some trade-off in payload and stowage
- −Open layout offers less separation and privacy
The Nautitech 46 Open is a performance-oriented cruising catamaran with a distinctive open-concept deck plan. At about 46 feet with a wide beam and moderate displacement, it aims to blend sailing efficiency with social living space rather than maximizing interior volume alone. The design is clean and purposeful, with dual helms and a sail plan that reflects its sporty brief.
On the water, the 46 Open is generally regarded as responsive for a cruising catamaran, with the lighter build helping it move well in moderate conditions. Twin 40 hp diesels are adequate for docking and motoring, and the shallow draft is useful for coastal cruising. It is not a pure speed boat, but it tends to deliver a more engaged helm feel than heavier, more apartment-like competitors.
Inside, the open saloon-to-cockpit arrangement makes the boat feel bright and expansive, and the 4-cabin version suits charter or family use well. Comfort is strong for a production catamaran of this size, though storage, privacy, and tankage are more limited than on some bluewater-focused alternatives. Overall value is solid if the buyer prioritizes sailing character and contemporary layout over maximum onboard volume.
