1983 Nauitcat

The 1982 Nauticat 38 is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained example of one of the most respected pilothouse cruising yachts ever built. Offered by only her second owner, this vessel reflects decades of knowledgeable ownership and meticulous care, combining classic Scandinavian craftsmanship with thoughtful upgrades and true cruising capability. Powered by a dependable 90 HP Ford Lehman diesel with approximately 1,900 original hours, she delivers efficient and reliable passagemaking under power, paired with a desirable 3-blade folding prop for improved sailing performance. Her sail inventory, including a spinnaker with sock, was replaced approximately six years ago and remains in excellent condition. Designed for comfortable extended cruising, the Nauticat 38’s warm teak interior is complemented by upgraded Corian countertops, ultra-suede upholstery, LED lighting, and a fully equipped galley featuring a propane oven/cooktop and hot water system. Two private heads provide exceptional comfort and functionality for owners and guests alike. Well equipped for coastal cruising or offshore passages, onboard systems include radar, SSB radio, GPS, depth sounder, VHF radios, autopilot, Heart Interface inverter/charger system, and solar panel support for extended anchoring independence.
