Nauticats have always been solid, stable, and comfortable, and the newest and biggest Nauticat is no different. There’s nothing radical about the Nauticat 515. Its long overhangs are something of a rarity among new cruising designs, and its displacement of nearly 53,000 pounds will make it a stately offshore passagemaker. The hull is made of meticulously hand-laid fiberglass, and the fit and finish of the teak interior is worthy of a true gentleman’s yacht. The interior is available with as many as nine berths in four separate cabins, but the two-cabin version is decadently spacious. Nearly all the accommodation space forward of the mast is dedicated to the master cabin and ensuite head; the aft cabin is almost as large. If elbowroom equals luxury, the 515 has it to burn.
