Nauticat 33 Popdeck

Nauticat-Siltala Yachts

Nauticat Yachts, celebrated for its deck saloon and pilothouse sailboats, boasts 10 unique models from 10 to 16 meters. Founded by Siltala Yachts in 1961, the brand gained fame with the classic Nauticat 33, crafted by Wilho Aarnipalo. This bestseller transformed into the Nauticat 331 after 1997 refinements. Nauticat expanded its series with larger versions like the 44 and 36, and later partnered with Sparkman & Stephens to introduce the Nauticat 521, 43, and 40. Kaj Gustafsson, a prominent designer, took ownership. After financial hurdles, Nauticat Yachts was revitalized in 2022, shifting production from Finland to Latvia under Latvian leadership.
