Bui lt to compete with the high output Lagoons and Fountaine Pajot range, BE Chantier / Nautitech decided to go for a more aggressive approach and with the cutting edge style of designers Mortain & Mavrikios, strived to bring into the world a catamaran that is at once pleasing to the eyes and which provide unbeatable comfort and seaworthiness, while also focusing on sailing capabilities.

Nautitech Catamarans, based in Rochefort sur Mer in France, build around 80 yachts per year. They are not one of the volume French manufacturers like Lagoon or Fountaine Pajot, but have positioned themselves as a yard that focuses on quality over quantity and strive to find the optimum balance between performance and comfort in their boats.

Attention to quality is visible in every detail, from the quality of stainless steel to the glass and resin used, general and deck hardware, choice of spars manufacturer etc. (It is good to remember that the launch of this Nautitech 442 happened before the GFC, which dramatically altered the production boat market, and when meeting a price point was less of an issue).

To stand out from the boxier catamaran style used by other multihull manufacturers, Nautitech went for a more feline profile with fluid lines that inspire speed and provide adherence to the water without compromising on the hull freeboard, allowing for a smooth motion in the seaway and to minimise 'slapping' and 'hobby horsing'.

Well-liked are the twin helms, which very much like the Outremer gives the helmsman a real sense of sailing, a great view of the sails and when coming into port an unbeatable position to edge into a marina berth with full control and visibility no matter which side is the dock, something that many single helm steering or flybridge designs often makes more difficult.

In spite of the ongoing changes that Nautitech catamarans have seen over the following years, the original models, such as this magnificent 2009 Nautitech 442 have never lost their strong following. This style will not go old, the quality of the build will ensure many years of safe cruising, while also being attractively priced for a multihull of this calibre.

Other than the approach to the quality of build and comfortable, intelligent interior layout, perhaps the most attractive side of the Nautitech 442 is its ability to please the most hell-bent monohull aficionados. It is a responsive, good performance catamaran that is a real pleasure to sail. One can feel the surge forward and the eagerness of the boat to 'get going'. It is a joy to helm for those who would rather switch off the autopilot and feel the boat respond to the tip of their fingers on the wheel.

This pretty Nautitech 442 UNAVOQ could be just what you are looking for. Lovingly maintained by her French owners, who purchased her in Tahiti after selling the monohull they had been travelling with since Europe, she presents in lovely condition and with continuous upgrades and diligent maintenance. Her interior timber work is in particularly condition for a boat of this age. UNAVOQ is now offered for sale as her owners have to return to France to take care of elderly parents.

UNAVOQ comes fully loaded with everything you need to set sail for the Pacific Islands again at a moment's notice.

A WORD FROM THE OWNERS: "We are a couple from France sailing around the world for five years. Port Leucate located in the south of France was our starting point in 2018. Since then, we have crossed the Atlantic, and discovered the Caribbean islands. At the beginning of 2020, the SRASS made us choose to cross the Panama Canal and go sailing in the last free zone of the Pacific.

Arrived in Tahiti, we sold our previous monohull and at the same time we bought our Unavoq II catamaran to enjoy the boat in the lagoons of the Leeward Islands.
Unavoq II is a fairly good solution between comfort and smooth sailing. At anchor, it is really comfortable, does not roll or pitch, its saloon and its cockpit offer a beautiful view of the landscapes.
At sea, she can reach 12 knots easily, or sail under spinnaker with only 7 knots of apparent wind.
We like the space on board, the light color of the interior and all the comforts such as the washing machine, the freezer, the hot water, the food processors, the 220v, the workshop and the storage possibilities.
We have improved storage by opening cockpit and saloon seats and building lockers in all bathrooms. All ropes have bags to keep the cockpit clear.
If we had decided to continue the adventure, we would have invested in a furling boom, to facilitate maneuvering the mainsail. The mainsail is always big on a catamaran. We had a furling mainsail in our previous boat and we benefited a lot from it because it was easier to use even though the sail is less efficient.
Unavoq II is built to sail with the family or receive guests. We provided high standard RB&B services for 5 months in Bora Bora without getting bored with guests on board. The water maker runs on 12v, so solar power provides us with free water on demand and makes Unavoq II energy self-sufficient even in remote areas.
We decided to end our trip and return to France for family reasons, our parents becoming elderly and needing to be taken care of. The sale of our catamaran seemed to us the most appropriate solution in such case as we have no known forecast at the present time. " Alain et Patricia - Wallis Island (en route to Fiji), June 2023.
