Step aboard a benchmark of modern cruising. The Nautitech Open 46 is not just a catamaran; it is a vast terrace on the Caribbean Sea.
True to the DNA of the La Rochelle shipyard, this 2022 model reinvents life on board by removing the boundary between the saloon and the cockpit. Whether you are setting a course for the Grenadines or coastal cruising around Rocher du Diamant, it offers what few boats manage to combine: the pure pleasure of sailing and absolute “loft” comfort.
Choosing this catamaran for your charter in the West Indies means choosing smart sailing. Here is what makes this model unique in our Punch Croisières fleet:
Here, there is no unnecessary partitioning. The picture window disappears completely to merge inside and outside. You live, cook and dine in direct contact with turquoise lagoons, while being perfectly sheltered from the sun. It is the ideal layout for Martinique’s tropical climate.
Unlike many charter catamarans that prioritise volume at the expense of sailing, the Nautitech 46 has fine bows. With its two aft-set helm stations, you feel the boat come alive, you keep an eye on sail trim, and you will be smiling at the helm again, even in light airs.
Despite its immense shared living space, the hulls are havens of calm. The cabins, bathed in natural light thanks to the large hull windows, offer an uninterrupted sea view from the moment you wake up.
This boat is prepared and checked by our technical team before your arrival.

Because a successful cruise must please the skipper as much as the holidaymakers, here is the two-sided view of this boat:
Total Visibility: The outboard helm stations provide a perfect view of the sails and the bow for harbour manoeuvres.
Performance: Light displacement and a generous sail plan. This boat really moves and points well upwind for a catamaran.
Simplified Manoeuvres: Everything leads back to the winches within easy reach of the helmsman. You can manage the boat with a reduced crew, stress-free.
Forward Deck Lounge: A “lounge” area on the trampoline for sunset aperitifs or reading at anchor.
Easy Swimming: The aft steps are long and low to the water. Getting back on board after snorkelling with turtles is child’s play.
Sociable Galley: The galley faces the cockpit. The person preparing the meal is never cut off from the group atmosphere.
The Nautitech Open 46 is one of our most in-demand models, particularly for the Christmas and February school holidays.
Take advantage of the shoulder season (May–June) to charter this boat. The trade winds are gentler, anchorages are deserted, and this very airy boat is perfect for that time of year.
