Open a new horizon

48 foot catamaran New 48 open

Main characteristics

your dream !

When ultimate comfort is combined with elegance and the pleasure of sailing, your travels become a true dream. For this new model, Nautitech raises the standards of comfort and sensations even higher.

Perfect alchemy between architecture and design for even more pleasure at the helm

With her forward deck and her inverted bows, the 48 Open will seduce you with a resolutely modern and dynamic design. The Nautitech style is at its best on its flagship model with its distinguished hull lines and superstructure. A combination of expertise and aesthetics that will give you a unique experience and open up new horizons.

Designed by MLYDG, the 48 Open benefits from the latest advances in hydrodynamic performance to ensure the best balance between performance under sail and comfort in the hulls. Nothing has been left to chance in the design of this top-of-the-range boat to combine comfort, feeling at the helm, and ease of maneuvering whatever the conditions. The height of the bridgedeck, the slenderness of the hulls, the sail area, and the control of the displacement, all these elements contribute to a well-balanced boat.

Performance unmatched sailing sensations

Performance, unmatched sailing sensations

True signature of the Open range, the double aft helm station is ideal for steering at sea and manoeuvring in marinas. A distinctive feature that offers a great view of the sails while remaining connected to the cockpit and the crew for safer sailing and more distance

Sailing on a catamaran means opening up to new horizons

This openness to the outside world is felt at sea or at anchor. To enjoy this safety, the ergonomics of the deck layout plays a crucial role in allowing smooth movement in the cockpit and on deck.

Comfort et ergonomics, key elements of this new exceptional model

Comfortable side decks and integrated deck hatches provide unobstructed access to the forward cockpit for manoeuvring or enjoying the remarkable lounge area at sunset.

Open, authentic moments of sharing

The opening of the interior saloon to the outside is an undeniable quality of this new model. An optimized circulation and well-defined spaces will make the border between the interior and the exterior disappear to offer more space on board. This unique concept, revisited by the designer Christophe Chedal-Anglay, takes on a new meaning by centering itself around the bar placed in the heart of the saloon and at the center of gravity of the boat. This iconic element creates a unique living space that adapts to all moments of the day and to all lifestyles. Everyone will find their own use for the space, and all will be able to share these moments together. Each space has its own function, in perfect harmony with you and your crew. A space that will evolve onboard with you.

A unique living space, the "open" concept

Guided by the desire to satisfy all navigation and lifestyle programs, five different layouts are proposed. Each project has its own configuration, which one will be yours ?

Subtles details for a perfect harmony

A modern and elegant atmosphere created in collaboration with the designer Christophe Chedal-Anglay. The 48 Open is available in standard light walnut and optional oak finishing to match with all tastes. Enjoy the spacious kitchen with all the appliances at your fingertips. Benefit also from the iconic bar in the heart of the living area. Close to the mast and located at the center of gravity of the boat, it is where people will join together, discuss the route, and probably "elevate their dream" with enthusiasm. The place that naturally attracts everyone on board. Benefit from the large lounge area and a large chart table.

A high-range quality finish, offering a sophisticated interior

Unrivaled finishes , modularity , and generous volumes are the keywords used in the development of the 48 OPEN. Take advantage of the quality materials and the soft and pleasant natural light thanks to the large panoramic windows providing a calm and inspiring view of the horizon. This new model of the Open range raises the standards combining comfort and elegance to offer a unique experience of life on board.

An elegant suite with incomparable finishing qualities

Enjoy the comfort of this spacious and luxurious owner suite with its own integrated dressing. Also flooded with natural light from the long window in the hull and above the headboard, this elegant suite is the perfect place to relax.

A luxurious bathroom with a separate toilet

From design to manufacture, all choices have been guided by the desire to offer a top-of-the-range boat where the term "Quality" takes on its full meaning. You will be able to discover a quality of finish and materials in this very luminous bathroom, thanks to its deck panels which offer ventilation and natural light, and its large mirror. You also have a large resin worktop with an integrated sink, easy to clean, and many storage spaces for your greater comfort.

The St Francis 48, designed by Angelo Lavranos, has full volume bows, high freeboard and bridgedeck clearance. Construction consist of one mold for the deck and only one mold for the hulls/bridgedeck, both of which are cored with closed cell foam using quadriaxial non-crimp fabric, isopthalic resin, and NPG gel coat. The interior volume of the St Francis 48 is comparable to many 50’+ designs and offers a high degree of comfort and luxury. This galley down version is truly a chef’s delight with an abundance of counter space and storage. Followed in production by an extended 50 foot version.

Description

The Gunboat 48 : a classic catamaran. They only built six of them and they rarely come up for sale.

Photo credits Travis Rice

The 48 is the Owner Operator Gunboat set up for short-handed sailing. I think she’s the best looking Gunboat: she looks like an E-Type Jag on the water with that long bow. An absolute legend that goes like the wind.

Set Up for Short Handed Sailing Typically they feature three queen berths, a convertible office/4th berth, and two heads. Down below, the cabins are light and airy. The berths in the forward cabins are athwartships and the heads and showers are forward again. The salon, helm and galley are on the main deck in the pilothouse, and she has a spacious, protected and cosy aft cockpit.

The deck layout centres around a forward cockpit accessed from the saloon. This is a Chris White invention first seen on his Atlantic cats (like the 57) but it works well on the Gunboats as well with all your lines managed from here with top of the range gear like Harken blocks and winches, Spinlock clutches and jammers positioned at chest level near the base of the carbon-fiber rig.

The 48 is around the same length as many popular production boats like the Nautitech 46 Open and the Lagoon 46, but she´s quite a bit faster.

She is lightning quick.
The 48 has to be one of the best looking cats on the water
That cosy protected helm, a short step away from the mast and all of the lines.
The aft cockpit or “back porch” is a great place to hang out if you want a break from all of the action.
For owner-operators, the Gunboat 48 is well set up for short-handed sailing. That’s not something you can say about their larger models, except maybe the 55.
Price – Gunboat 48s go for up to $2 million. That’s a lot of money to spend on a 48 foot boat with 3 cabins and there is plenty of competition in this market (the Marsaudon Composites TS42 and the Outremer 4X will probably match her for speed for example). The Slyder 49 will give you more space and pretty decent speed. But then again, those brands don’t have quite the same cachet.
Heads are accessed through the 2 forward cabins, which is fine if you are just using 2 cabins. If you have guests, someone is going to have to walk through somebody else’s cabin to get to the head.
There’s a downside to that forward cockpit. It can get wet up here with spray, although it’s generally fine on the windward side
These aren’t the cheapest boats to maintain. They only made 6 of them, so effectively it’s a custom catamaran.

What do you get for your money? Well, vacuum-bagged, oven-cured hulls and a foam sandwich deck built with epoxy, (biaxial with unidirectional glass) and Kevlar plus carbon fiber, dagger-boards, lifting rudders, stringers, ring frames, and a crossbeam. This yacht couldn’t be further away from a similar sized production cat like the Fountaine Pajot 45 or the Lagoon 46. It’s all in the details.

Oh, and you get a slice of catamaran history of course.

Morrelli & Melvin Masterpiece Original Gunboat founder Peter Johnstone picked up the phone to Gino Morrelli and Pete Melvin when he was dreaming up the 48. These are all guys who love to sail, and the brief was for a boat that would increase the fun factor while being safe, reliable, and seaworthy for a cruising couple. And being a Gunboat, this catamaran had to be fast!

What they came up with was a powerful, no nonsense catamaran built of the latest, lightest materials, with ample room to sleep and relax that was easy to sail with a short-handed crew. The 48 was the second design off the blocks after the 62 (including Tribe, the original Gunboat). They later extended the 62 into the 66.

The helm, engine controls and navigation instruments are all to hand, tucked just inside the door to the forward cockpit. There’s a nice looking folding dining table facing a forward-facing sofa that is well used when the boat is on autopilot.

A Tidy Design The whole deck layout is very clever: aft, the saloon leads onto a spacious aft cockpit area for dining or drinks, with easy access to the dinghy davits, swim ladder and the twin Westerbeke 35-horsepower Universal diesels.

Down below, there are 3 comfortable cabins with queen-size berths, and a fourth is equipped with a single (this can also double up as an office). Then there are 2 heads with showers, both stationed forward in their respective hulls.

The Gunboats remain a classic in the catamaran world and the 48 remains one of the most popular of the range. A legend! We’re just hoping that the new owners of the brand, Grand Large Yachting, turn their sights onto this length once they have perfected the 68.

The Gunboat 48 starts to shine when you get the sails up and the big difference between this boat and other multihulls is that you will be covering good ground upwind too. The high roach main and self tacking jib is well set up for short handed sailing.

The tacking angle is around 100 degrees going into the wind and you can expect boat speeds of between 7.5 to 9 knots on a close reach in decent conditions.

She Powers Up Off the Wind Head off the wind and you will sail close to wind speed with the right sails up (gennaker, code 0 or jib), tacking downwind again at 130-150 degrees for the best VMG (velocity to waypoint).

When the 48 hits 12 knots, she really starts to fly. In the right conditions sailed properly, you should be seeing speeds in the 20s – OK, you might be getting a helping hand from the waves, but you get my drift – this is a fast catamaran. Even in light winds you should see speeds approaching True Wind Speed.

Construction

Most of the Gunboat 48s in existence have had a lot of money spent on them since they were launched, but they all splashed with the highest quality materials and fittings.

They were built with a composite construction of vacuum bagged, epoxy foam sandwich and Aramid Honey-comb Nomex with carbon fiber inner skins & Kevlar. outer skins for impact resistance.

All original Carbon Spars were Marstrom with unidirectional Aramid Fiber shrouds, Aramid forestays (x 2), custom Facnor furlers, Edson custom carbon steering wheel, Carbon fiber retractable rudders and dagger boards.

Inside, the 48s were kitted out wth African Sapele Cabinetry and Brazilian Mahogany Floors

Gunboat 48 Polars

This is only an indication of the theoretical performance Figures assume that the yacht is sailing in flat water.

Gunboat 48s – Where are They Now?

Only 6 Gunboats 48s were manufactured.

4801 – Ohana (formerly Cream)

4802 – Dancing Bear (ex-Lickity Split) Based in Finland in the Baltic.

4803 – Traverse

4804 – Vela (ex Falcor)

4805 – Blast

4806 – Spirit of Africa

When were the Gunboat 48s Built? The 48 series was built from 2004 to 2009.

Why is the Gunboat 48 so fast? Most of it comes from the hull shape, the sail plan and a fanatical attention to detail on weight saving. The 48 weighs in at just over 8 tonnes light (17,700 lbs)

How many Gunboat 48s are there? Only six 48’s were produced.

How much are Gunboat 48s? Traverse was on the market in 2019 for $2m I believe. Falcor (48-04, now Vela) was on the market previously for $1.7m.

Lagoon 50 Catamaran – The Prestigious Multihull

The Lagoon 50 is an all-new 48-foot-long catamaran from Lagoon that’s designed and built by the French expert designers VPLP. The exterior design of the vessel was done by the legendary Patrick le Quement while the classy interior was the brilliant work of Nauta Design. What’s more striking in the Lagoon 50, compared to other models, is her new sleek hull design, advanced sporty lines, and easy-to-handle rig and deck layout.

Aside from her stunning beauty on the outside, she boasts of a superbly comfortable interior, practical cabin layouts, and generous exterior deck space that can sync with every holidaymaker’s needs. Her performance at sea is also uncompromising, something that takes the sailing experience to a whole new level.

The below Lagoon 50 catamaran review takes a close-up look at the vessel’s design (both interior & exterior), onboard amenities, and what to expect when you charter it:

Table of Contents

Accommodation

Lagoon 50 comes with six cabins that are capable of hosting up to 12 guests in utmost comfort and luxury. The master suite, which takes up almost all the space in the starboard hull, is equipped with a desk (with a built-in bookcase and small settee), ahead with a separate shower and walk-in closet/ dressing room.

On the port side, there are cabins fore and aft, furnished with en-suite separate head and shower. The port heads can be re-configured to create three single-stall heads with showers if need be. Instead of a walking closet, these cabins only have a cavernous storage space in-board, which can be easily transformed into another double cabin.

If you don’t want a master suite, there is a 6-cabin, 6-head layout that you can make use of in this vessel. All the aft cabins are fitted with panoramic glazing that allows a generous amount of light to pour in. The large hull portholes in the showers and bathrooms of the cabins also add to the comfort at sea, especially when sailing during bad weather.

The cat’s interior is spacious, with every design detail brought out perfectly to create a warm and cozy atmosphere. Her innovative saloon incorporates two separate but cohesive areas. On one side is a large galley, which opens onto the cockpit while on the other lies a slightly elevated lounge area that provides amazing vision over the waters.

The galley comes in two sections: two refrigerator drawers on the starboard side and a three-burner Eno stove and a sink on the port side. The countertop space on the galley is vast, making it more comfortable and more convenient for cooks and bartenders to prepare food and drinks.

Just close to the L-shaped galley in the saloon is a teak table with open leaves that can seat up to 12 guests. Opposite it lies a cushioned couch alongside a sink fridge and ice maker. All these, when combined with the plush accommodations, make relaxing and resting on board a soothing experience.

Lagoon 50’s helm is on the flybridge, where there’s a long bench seat that can accommodate the captain and at least three companions.

Just below the flybridge is a cockpit area facing out to the sea with a huge modular dining area that’s furnished with a dining table, comfortable sofas, removable benches, and storage spaces.

There are two access points to the flybridge, where you can enjoy great comfort and visibility. Vast storage spaces also exist under most of the flybridge and cockpit seats, where guests can put in their extra stuff.

Entertainment

Lagoon 50 is furnished with all the entertainment facilities that can make your onboard experience lively, fun and interactive. Within the salon, there’s a flat screen TV, Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) and a stereo that you can use to entertain yourself and the guests.

You also have access to onboard Wi-Fi that’s available 24 Hours. That means you can easily browse the internet and share your experiences with friends and family online at any time of the day.

Performance

The 50’s twin 57-HP Yanmar diesel engines (upgradable to 80 HP) with sail drives and folding propellers can deliver up a cool 9.5 knots at 3000 rpm. If you’re looking for fuel efficiency, then you can go at 2200 rpm with 7.5 knots in speed. Lagoon 50 further has a networked plotter and autopilot, a self-tacking jib, a bow thruster, and power winches, which make her performance stunning.

Where Does Lagoon 50 Sail

Lagoon 50 is available for sailing across many places. But in a typical summer, you’ll find it in Croatia. The preferred pickup point is Marina Kastela, SPLIT. Alternatively, you can use the other pick-up area, which is ACI Dubrovnik, if you feel that’s a more convenient point for you.

Why Sailing Lagoon 50?

Sailing the vessel, first of all, presents a unique opportunity to tour and explore all the dreamy coastlines, islands, and cays you’ve ever thought of. And with a full crew on board, your coveted holiday destination to the fullest without having to worry about the responsibilities that come with operating a catamaran.

Looking at the vessel’s superb amenities from the interior saloon to the cockpit all through to the foredeck and flybridge, it is obvious that you’ll be set up for a fun holiday experience. There is also snorkel gear and a swim platform on this cat, which will serve you pretty well when at one point you decide to engage in some adrenaline-pumping activities at sea.

Both on the vessel’s interior and exterior, there is amazing seating, dining tables and lounge areas that are designed for the ultimate vacationer. So, all you can do for your holiday on this vessel is to lazy around, eat some great food, indulge in good cocktails and soak yourself completely into the coastal scenery.

Sailing aboard the Lagoon 50 is an experience that can never be boring at any one point of the journey. With plush accommodations, great amenities, and a super spacious deck, the vessel sets a platform for a fun, engaging, and rewarding experience at sea. And so it’s a perfect catamaran with which to take your adventures to the sea alongside your friends and family.

Hi Charles,

Thank you for the comment and wish you a nice day!

I think the comfort that the vessel offer the passenger is incredible because I can’t think of myself traveling in that vessel and not having access to the internet and listen to music, these are things that makes the modern life worth living. It is nice that the manufacturer included this, and the fact that it engine is upgradable to 80 horse power makes it a fantastical purchase.How much do you think a fairly used Lagoon 50 will cost?

Hi! When it comes to planning vacations with family, we all get around the PC and study options. We haven’t had this reunion yet, but I know they’ll definitely love Lagoon 50 Catamaran.

I’m excited about its magnificent exterior and classy interior. Our experience in the coastal scenery will be wonderful. And we have been wanting to go to Croatia for a time. Thank you very much for this review. I’ll probably write back when all the family is together to decide. 🙂

That’s a good idea:) Let me know when you and your family are ready, I’ll be more than happy to help.

Wow! The view of the boat is beautiful surrounded by the sea and sky which is amazing! Great article on the Lagoon 50 with amazing interior, accommodation is nice, entertainment exterior surroundings, everything is nice about the catamaran. I am sure that persons would want to go on the yacht for recreation whenever they are booking for a party or a cruise. Thank you for such an informative post!

I agree it is a beautiful boat and it’s hard to resist the temptation of renting it for a sailing holiday:)

Let me know if you need any help. I’ll be more than happy to assist.

Thank you for the comment and wish you to sail soon.

Daniella your beautiful site is opening up a world of vacation ideas to me that I’d never considered before. Who wouldn’t love a Lagoon 50 Catamaran holiday? No one I can think of! Truly, this vessel is more beautiful than many homes on land, and it would surely make for the ideal vacation you suggest. Since I’m not very familiar yet with this kind of adventure, how many people usually comprise the crew for such a vessel? Do they use some of the sleeping accommodations you describe? Sorry if these are dumb questions…I’m so intrigued and curious to learn, and you obviously have the knowledge to answer my questions. Thank you so much for your insights. I’m truly beginning to imagine the possibilities….

That’s right, who wouldn’t want to spend vacations on this boat:) The Lagoon 50 can be rented without a crew. This means if you have a skipper license, you can navigate the boat yourself. Another possibility is to hire a skipper and even add more crew to the party such as a hostess, chef, etc. Usually, the skipper has his own cabin, but if space is restricted, then he will sleep in the saloon. There are lounge areas in the boat that can be converted to a bed in the evening:)

I hope it helped. Please, don’t hesitate to contact me with any question, I’ll be more than happy to assist.

Thank you for the comment and wish you a lovely day.

It’s amazing to see how beautiful can be a catamaran in 2019! It seems like you’re living at home while sailing though Mediterranean see. It would be great to have a look to the costs of staying in the different harbors of Croatia and maybe down till Greece to have an idea to plan better a journey with the costs of every situation! Seeing the costs of the catamaran it’s not so prohhibitive.. .very good!

True, the Lagoon 50 is a beautiful yacht. It is truly a resort that floats on the water. You choose your own itinerary; price varies depending on the duration, season, etc. If you don’t have any bareboat license, then a skipper on board will be required. And yes, the price is very attractive!

Please, don’t hesitate to contact me with any question. I am always happy to assist.

Thank you for the comment and wish a nice day.

Hi; I can see from your record of building January 2019, that the Lagoon 50 is relatively new. About how many hours, days, or weeks did it take the builders of Lagoon 50 to start and complete this magnificent “sea Machine”?

Should I choose the Lagoon 50 for my next vacation, where would I board the Craft?

This is a question you will have to ask the manufacturer:) I have no idea on how long it took for them to build the Lagoon 50.

Anyway, as it is mentioned in the article, there are several pickup points. Kastela, Split, and Dubrovnik.

I hope it helped. Let me know if you need more information. I’ll be glad to assist.

Thank you for the comment and wish you all the best!

Croatia has been on my bucket list for quite some time now. I had not thought about chartering a catamaran, but what a great idea! We are planning our family reunion, and this looks like a great way to do it! I will be checking out the pricing and seeing if it will fall in our budget. Do you know how far Marina Kastela is from the airport?

To answer your question, Croatia Split is the nearest airport to Kastela. The distance from Split to Kastela is only 6 km. I hope it helped! Don’t hesitate to contact me with any question, I am always happy to assist!

Thank you for the comment and wish you a lovely day!
