Nauticat 525 -10 Finland

This Nauticat 525, built in Finland in 2010, is a true blue-water cruising yacht designed for long-distance sailing and circumnavigation. The model is based on the renowned design work of Sparkman & Stephens, which was later further developed by Finnish yacht designer Kaj Gustafsson during his time as the owner of Nauticat Yachts. The Nauticat 525 is known for its exceptionally robust construction, excellent seaworthiness and safe, confidence-inspiring sailing characteristics. This particular yacht is comprehensively equipped for extended ocean cruising, with the systems, onboard comfort and self-sufficiency required for long passages and extended periods away from marinas. The protected centre cockpit provides a safe and comfortable sailing environment even in demanding conditions. Among the distinctive strengths of the Nauticat 525 are its spacious deck saloon and interior helm station. The yacht can be comfortably navigated and steered from inside, with excellent visibility of the surroundings. The interior helm offers outstanding protection from rain, wind and cold – a feature that is particularly valuable in northern waters and challenging weather conditions. As a distinctly Finnish touch, the yacht also features its own sauna. The yacht has had only two owners since new. It was originally delivered to its first owner in the Czech Republic and has been carefully maintained throughout its life. From approximately 2017 to 2022, the yacht was stored ashore at a boatyard and was not in active use, which has contributed to preserving its good overall condition. When the current owner acquired the yacht in 2023, the main engine had accumulated only approximately 850 operating hours. This is exceptionally low for a cruising yacht of this age and size. The combination of relatively light use, several years of storage ashore, careful maintenance and extensive upgrades carried out in recent years makes this yacht a highly attractive option for anyone looking for a serious long-distance cruising yacht. This Nauticat 525 combines Finnish boatbuilding expertise, exceptionally robust construction, excellent seaworthiness and comprehensive equipment for ocean cruising and circumnavigation. It is a safe and comfortable blue-water yacht, ready to take its new owner almost anywhere in the world.
