Nautitech

Nautitech Catamarans is a French boat builder specializing in sailing catamarans. The brand was launched in 1994 and is based in Rochefort, on the French Atlantic coast. It belongs to the Bavaria group and builds cruising multihulls for private ownership and charter use.

Nautitech began in 1994 as a catamaran brand associated with Dufour Yachts Group and later developed as an independent French builder. The company moved production to Rochefort, a historic maritime location, and has remained focused on multihull construction. Bavaria Yachts acquired the brand in 2014, adding industrial backing to the shipyard’s French production base. Nautitech is also known for working with naval architects such as Marc Lombard on later models.

The brand’s range has centered on sailing catamarans in cruising sizes, with models including the Nautitech 40, 40 Open, 44, 46 Open, 46 Fly, 47 Power and 54. Nautitech has built a reputation for combining performance with onboard comfort, and it was among the builders associated with the open-living concept that connects saloon and cockpit more directly. Its boats are aimed at sailors seeking passage-making ability, spacious layouts and easy handling in a two-hull platform.
