Cervetti 44 S Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Cervetti 44 S means looking at a modern Italian catamaran built around volume, open deck flow, and straightforward systems. Most examples afloat are ex-charter four-cabin boats, though three-cabin versions exist, and the charter history is worth weighing against the bright, well-ventilated cabins and the easy indoor-outdoor connection the design is known for.
Layouts on the Used Market
Charter four-cabin arrangements are the more common on the used market, but both three- and four-cabin versions are available, and ex-charter examples are common. Either way, every cabin comes with 200 cm by 160 cm beds and plenty of portholes and windows. The forward mast keeps the galley, chart table, and saloon free of a central obstruction, and sliding deckhouse doors plus an electric forward window tie those spaces to the cockpit and a forward sun deck. The cockpit seats up to eight and hides storage under floor openings, while the flybridge above adds an oversized lounging and sunbathing zone reached from inside the cockpit.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Autopilot and chartplotter are commonly fitted, and a used 44 S will often carry a watermaker, air conditioning, inverter, code zero, gennaker, electric winches, freezer, hot water, bimini, swim platform, dinghy davits, radar, AIS, EPIRB, and life raft. For a buyer, the power-and-energy cluster — inverter, watermaker, air conditioning — determines whether the boat can sit comfortably on a mooring or needs constant shore power. Sail-handling upgrades such as the code zero and gennaker, paired with electric winches, turn light-air days into usable mileage rather than motoring, and the radar, AIS, and EPIRB stack is the safety baseline to confirm before any offshore passage.
What to Inspect
The builder states that engine and service areas are reached through large engine-room hatches, so confirm those hatches open cleanly and the twin Volvo Penta D2 sail drives are accessible for routine service large engine room hatches. Check the composite bowsprit retained from the earlier generation for any stress or delamination at its attachments, and examine the inverted glazing in the deckhouse for seal condition since it is relied upon to keep the interior cool. The hydraulic platform, where fitted as an option, should be cycled to confirm it still works as a dinghy lift or floating beach.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Typical markets for the Cervetti 44 S are Portugal, Italy, and Croatia. For a buyer, the short checklist is: confirm the layout matches intended use (ex-charter four-cabin versus private three-cabin), verify the core safety and energy equipment is present and functional, and inspect the bowsprit, deckhouse glazing, and engine access as the points most likely to need attention.
