Nautitech 46 Open · 2023 · Designed by Marc Lombard

A vessel built to take you somewhere

Holoholo is a 46-foot cruising catamaran custom-fitted for the wild edges of French Polynesia. Three guest cabins, a crew of two or three, and one continuous open living space that turns the ocean into your front porch.

– holoholo

 

Holoholo.

 

A Hawaiian word for wandering with no particular destination in mind.

To sail somewhere, look around, and let the wind decide what happens next. It is, in

every sense, the philosophy of this boat.

– life on board

Warm wood. Bright light. Room to breathe.

The interior is dark teak and pale upholstery, natural light through oversized hull portholes and salon glass. Brushed stainless steel at every touch point. It’s the kind of space you settle into within an hour and stop wanting to leave.

Dining area inside a catamaran

– the salon

The heart of Holoholo.

A single open room that flows straight into the cockpit — no bulkhead, no threshold, no separation between “inside” and “outside.” Breakfast happens here. So do the charts, the card games, the afternoons out of the sun, the long evenings after dinner when nobody’s ready to sleep yet.

Panoramic windows on three sides. On a good day, you’ll notice the salon is bigger than most 50-foot monohulls.

– the cabins

Three cabins for the guests. Three sanctuaries.

Each with a queen-size berth, en-suite head with hot-water shower, air-conditioning, and a hull-side porthole for reading light. Teak, cream, brushed steel — the same aesthetic as the salon, with enough privacy that a couple can genuinely disappear into their own space.

At night, with the boat anchored in a lagoon, the only sound is water on the hull.

– the galley

A working kitchen.

Twin fridges, dedicated freezer, gas cooktop, oven, deep sinks, and enough counter space for a chef to cook the way they want to cook.

Guests are welcome — and often end up perched on a stool with a glass of something cold, watching dinner come together.

– on deck

Four places to be, all day long.

The Nautitech 46 Open is designed around one idea: erase the line between inside and outside. Living happens across all of it — the salon flows into the cockpit, the cockpit connects to the sundeck, the sundeck opens onto the swim platform.

– the open cockpit

Not a room. A continuation.

The “Open” in Nautitech 46 Open. The cockpit isn’t a separate room bolted onto the back of the boat — it’s a continuation of the salon, shaded, ventilated, with a proper dining table and lounge seating for the full six guests.

Most dinners happen here. So does most breakfast, most of the long afternoons, most of the conversations that end up mattering.

– the double helm

Nautitech’s DNA.

Twin helm stations, port and starboard. The captain steers from whichever side has the better sightlines, which in a reef pass or a tight anchorage matters more than you’d think.

Guests are welcome at the helm. Many take a turn.

– the frontdeck lounge

The sunset spot.

A dedicated bow lounge — separate from the trampolines, separate from the cockpit. A wide, cushioned sunbathing platform tucked forward of the mast, with nothing but water in front of you.

This is the sunset spot. And the reading spot. And the “everyone else is talking and I need a minute alone” spot.

– the swim platform

Where the day begins and ends.

At the transom, twin steps down into the water. Where the day begins with a swim and ends with one. Where kayaks launch, where snorkel gear lives, where the tender ties up.

On a hot afternoon, you’ll find people here with their feet in the water.

– under sail

Built for the trades.

Holoholo carries a 76 m² fully-battened mainsail and a 38 m² self-tacking jib as standard, with a custom light-air sail package added for the long, easy reaches between atolls. She’ll hold a steady eight knots in fifteen knots of breeze — and comes alive in the trade winds that make French Polynesia the sailing region it is.

On a good day, with the trades filling in from the east, you’ll feel exactly why Marc Lombard designed her this way.

The Open 46 celebrates the perfect balance between performance and comfort.

– built responsibly

Nearly carbon-neutral, every day at sea.

Holoholo is engineered to run almost entirely off her own solar array and lithium-ion battery bank. Water comes from a 100-litre-per-hour watermaker — no plastic bottles required. The engines run only when we need them: for docking, for pass entries, for the rare passage without wind. Everything else is powered by the sun.

Roof-mounted solar array capacity, powering all house loads at anchor.

[kWh] bank
