Nautical Development Corp. Center Cockpit

“Nirvana” is a safe, comfortable, center cockpit bluewater cruising ketch that is large enough to hold family, friends and guests for a day, a week, or on a longer adventure, while still being set up to be easily handled by two people. With four staterooms, four heads, large spacious cockpit and full raised aft deck with deck chairs, “Nirvana” has exceptional space for entertaining, privacy, and family members to have their own spaces. 

                The Nautical brand is not as well known as Irwin, Gulfstar and other “name” brand cruisers that were built in the 80’s, since not as many Nauticals were built, but she shares the same attributes: rock-solid thick fiberglass hull, sea-kindliness, good steady sailing ability, a spacious, open, roomy, beautiful teak interior, plenty of above-deck space, many opening hatches and ports, huge water and fuel tanks for extended cruising, and a sturdy rig. She was designed by the well known naval architect Steve Seaton.   Nirvana is an incredible value for the money: a well-founded, well-maintained sixty-foot sailing home at a fraction of the cost of other 60-footers.
