About ILLUSION

Operating in the Caribbean

The innovative concept of the Open 46 catamaran is based on a sleek and elegant design. The salon and the cockpit have been merged to gain space - it’s the essence of the "Open" concept. The salon of the Open 46 offers beautiful volumes, like an invitation to enjoy daily life in an amazingly elegant and warm atmosphere. The interior is very chic, made of light wood with very bright natural light and neat details in stainless steel.

ILLUSION boast a spacious interior with a contemporary design. She has a breathtaking view of the ocean from the salon with elegant and strong woodwork and veneers. Her 3 cabins are ensuite with ipad dockers and electric fans. The starboard side cabins have a/c and the aft king cabin to port has an excellent electric fan and overhead hatch for fresh sea breezes! All cabins are bathed in light thanks to large hull portholes with numerous storage spaces. For your water time fun she sports paddleboards, kayak, fishing gear, snorkel gear and more.

Broker's feedback -  8th May 2023

You will be dazzled by the beauty of the Nautitech 46 ILLUSION and the knowledge of Captain Bruno. Our previous charter feedback has always been exceptional, so there is no better catamaran to cruise the Grenadines.

Comments from Capt. Bruno's previous charter yacht Harmony


July 15-22, 2017 St Vincent-St Vincent charter - Spectacular!
We are a family of 4, 2 daughters and we sailed with Bruno and Jessica (his lovely daughter) for a week.
Nothing can measure their open hearts and the homey feeling we had throughout our entire stay.
Their knowledge of Caribbean Sea is not short of spectacular, and so was our trip!
Bruno is like a dad, a friend and great captain to anyone coming aboard and your comfort will be his top priority.
Not only will I recommend Bruno and his boats, but his lovely daughter Jessica as well, whom spoiled us with delicious food every day, baked for my kids and made fresh dishes always.
Thank you for an awesome trip in Paradise Islands.
Bella & Robert
