The Nauticat 33 was the design which 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. Offering a huge amount of living space for a vessel of just 10 meters in length, the design found favour with cruisers and liveaboards alike.
NOMAD is one of the last of the Nauticat 33’s before the introduction of the 33 MkII. Below decks she benefits from the later style of interior fitout and improved finish quality. On deck she has the later 33MkII style coachroof and deck layout with the original long keel style hull. A much loved family boat, NOMAD, has proved to be the ideal cruising boat for the current owners, who are only selling due to a pending upgrade to a larger Nauticat. Her extensive inventory includes:
