Nautitech 475 Buyer's Guide
The Nautitech 475 is a 47-foot catamaran designed in 1995 by Mortain & Mavrikios and built by Dufour for the charter fleet of VPM, with a later heavily modified version also produced. The original and revised boat share the same solid-fiberglass twin-keel catamaran platform of 25-foot beam and 4-foot draft, but the aft end is where they part company.
Layouts on the Used Market
The original 475 carries the as-designed cockpit and transom, while the modified version adds a stern platform that extends the cockpit and a grafted superstructure meant to keep circulation flowing around the seating anchor. The modified boat also gained a completely redesigned exterior table that improved on-deck livability. Buyers should note the modified version's changes concentrate aft; the forward accommodation carries over.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
The 475 was offered with a single 50-horsepower Volvo Penta MD 22L diesel and its 110-gallon diesel and 210-gallon water tanks define the baseline. Rig-wise, the modified version is identifiable by a rigid bimini built to house the mainsail sheet at the helm. Other fit-out varies by owner.
What to Inspect
On the modified version, confirm the condition of the grafted stern superstructure: the added structure can strike the sea when the boat pitches up in steep chop anchor, so look for impact cracking at its junction with the hull. Also check the mainsail trim station, as the redesign places the dedicated winch where the sail is no longer visible. The original avoids both issues.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Regional availability of the Nautitech 475 on the used market is not characterized by a defined set of regions in the available brief, so shoppers should source through general multihull brokerage.
- Confirm which version you are viewing: original or modified aft structure
- On modified boats, inspect the stern superstructure joint for slam damage
- Verify mainsheet and winch lead condition given the lost trim sightline
- Check tankage and the single Volvo Penta MD 22L as the propulsion baseline
