Let’s start at the top! The Nautitech Fly 46 catamaran seats 10 with ease on the upper deck and has a vast amount more space here than any other cat in her class.
The Fly 46 is luxuriously appointed throughout, with beautiful light oak joinery, a hard-wearing walnut synthetic veneer cabin sole, and the signature “Open’ concept cockpit, that combines with the saloon, to give a huge, single-level space, for true panoramic sailing and living. Uniquely, the 46 has 6 interior showers in this 4 double cabin configuration. In addition to the 4 heads with showers, each hull also has a dedicated shower cubicle – perfect if you want to keep the heads as ‘dry areas’, or you need to get 6 teenagers to a dinner reservation on time. There are single berths in the forepeaks.
This Nautitech Fly 46 catamaran has a roller-furling mainsail with battens. A self-tacking jib makes life simple, and you can be under full sail, single-handed in under a minute. Add horsepower with an optional gennaker* flown off the bowsprit. With the downwind sail set on a continuous furler, it is as easy as rolling out your jib.

The 46 Fly sailed at 16 knots on delivery from the factory. Andrew Thompson, Director of Horizon, who sailed one from La Rochelle to Southampton, commented that she was incredibly well-mannered and easy to sail in double digits, and knows there is a lot more in the tank!
“We averaged 8.75 knots over the final 100 miles. This is a cat with the best bridge deck in class, a beautiful interior, and first-class construction, that gets up and seriously goes, with no fuss at all. The roller furling mainsail minimises effort in setting sail, maximises sailing time, and has a minimal detrimental impact on performance. In fact, the designer, Marc Lombard, stated that there is no performance difference above 16 knots of true wind. So you get the best of both worlds – ease of use, and good performance”.
