Verdict
A well-balanced cruising catamaran with strong livability, sensible sail plan, and good charter appeal. It is not the sharpest-performance multihull, but it offers a practical mix of space, handling, and value for 12 guests.
Pros
- +Good interior and exterior living space for a 45ft catamaran
- +Shallow draft suits coastal cruising and island hopping
- +Self-tacking jib and modest draft help make it manageable
- +Flybridge adds visibility and an extra social area
Cons
- −Performance is more cruising-oriented than fast-sailing
- −Six-cabin charter layout can feel busy and less private
- −Limited exact public data on the 2021 charter-spec configuration
- −Windward ability and helm feedback are not class-leading
The Nautitech 46 Fly is a 45ft cruising catamaran built around usable space and easy charter operation. Its beam and flybridge give it a roomy deck plan, while the standard sail plan and shallow draft point to a boat designed for practical, versatile cruising rather than pure performance.
On the water, the 46 Fly is generally regarded as a balanced cruiser with manageable handling. The self-tacking jib and twin-engine setup should make docking and short-handed operation easier, but the boat is not aimed at the most aggressive sailing style. Expect solid passage-making ability and comfortable motion rather than standout speed.
Inside, the model’s main strength is livability. A six-cabin, 12-guest charter layout prioritizes capacity and flexibility, and the flybridge improves visibility and social space. For private owners, that same configuration may feel less intimate than a lower-density cruising layout.
In value terms, the Nautitech 46 Fly sits in a strong middle ground: not the cheapest or most performance-focused catamaran in its class, but attractive for buyers who want a recognizable, spacious, and easy-to-operate 45ft charter cruiser.
