Accommodations

The Nauticat 44 has a beautiful pilothouse which offers 360° visibility and comfortable accommodations for relaxing, eating and entertaining. The light and bright interior is meticulous and very inviting. The interior features incredible handcrafted woodwork throughout and lots of natural light from the hatches and windows. The master stateroom, with a queen size centerline berth, is aft and down a couple of steps from the pilothouse. The recently updated master head is to port and a separate shower stall to starboard. Forward of the Pilothouse and down a few steps is the main salon with a "U-shaped" settee/dinette to port, which converts to a double berth. The salon offers ample room for entertaining and relaxing. Opposite is storage and a buffet. Forward of the settee is the large galley. There is a private large V berth stateroom forward, with a head to Starboard.
