The nauticats are built by Siltala Yachts Oy in Finland. The yard is situated 40 kilometres from the city of Turku in Southwest Finland. The company has been building yachts for almost 40 years and today both administration and production facilities are concentrated to Riihikoski. The company has an international chain of skilful and experienced dealers that takes care of world-wide nauticat sales and service. The story begins in late 1950´s when we moulded our first small fibreglass boats. In 1966 we were asked by some local sailors to build a comfortable 10-meter motorsailer with a proper pilothouse. The nauticat 33 was born and the designer of this yacht was the Finnish engineer W.Aarnipalo. As the popularity of the nauticat 33 soared and the company grew, a demand for larger boats was the natural result. The nauticat 44 & 36 both designed by W.Aarnipalo later accompanied the nauticat 33. Through international co-operation another motorsailer the nauticat 38 was born in 1975. Even some motorboats, and a small motorsailer, the minicat, were built by the yard and until 1980 also a 7,5 m long keelboat called GT-kryssare was in the product range.
At the beginning of the 1980´s the nauticat 52 was launched. It was the largest yacht to date built by the yard, and the 52 was later replaced by the nauticat 521 and this exceptional offshore yacht got smaller sisters called 43 and 40. All three yachts came from the drawing board of Sparkman & Stephens. These yachts were quite different from the traditional nauticats in sense of both design and performance. These yachts were the first steps in the direction of pilothouse sailing yachts that were to be introduced later.
At the end of 1986 the yard launched a own design that became successful overnight, the nauticat 35. The boat started a totally new era at the yard, since all yachts starting with the 35 have been designed by Kaj Gustafsson. The 35 was the first nauticat in the range of pilothouse sailing yachts, and she was offered with sloop rigging as standard. The size and accommodation of the aft cabin on a nauticat 35 is still in the lead of yachts in this size.
Encouraged by the success of the 35 the yard and the designer Kaj Gustafsson launched the nauticat 32 in 1990. This was the smallest nauticat ever built with the pilothouse concept and this yacht became exceptionally beloved all around the world.
In 1990 the yard took over a motorboat manufacturer called Oy Flipper Ab and for a short time the yard produced besides the nauticats Flipper motor boats. At the end of 1996 the first nauticat 515 was put into water. This good looking yacht is a unique combination of performance, safety, comfort, style and power.
In 1999 we developed our successful and beloved nauticat 32, and this new yacht is called the nauticat 321. She is equipped with a 40 HP engine as standard and is offered with several keel and rigging options.
