Description

The Nauticat 33 was the design that propelled Nauticat into mass production boat building. Proving to be immensely popular around the world, the model had a production run spanning almost 20 years before making way for the new Nauticat 331. The original Nauticat 33 is now a timeless classic, offering a significant amount of living space for a vessel of just 10 meters in length. Boasting internal and external helm positions along with her easily handled ketch rig, the design has found favour with cruisers and liveaboards alike.

A much-loved example of this classic motorsailer, the Nauticat 33 LADY OF HARTY, has been under current ownership since 1999. Fastidiously maintained and continuously upgraded by a conscientious owner, who is now ‘swallowing the anchor,’ she has an extensive inventory, including highlights such as:
