Testimonials

You had excellent ideas and feedback when we were trying to narrow down the type and size of sailboat that would fit our needs and budget. Your presence during the survey, haulout, and sea trial was invaluable. We couldn't have done it without you. THANKS!

Welcome to The Multihull Company

Phillip Berman No matter what sort of catamaran or trimaran you are looking for we promise you expert, unbiased advice. We will save you thousands of dollars, months of time, and spare you hundreds of headaches. We promise.

You can choose any number of yacht brokers to help you buy or sell a catamaran or trimaran. But the vast majority of them are far from offshore multihull sailors. They are salespeople, pure and simple.

Our founder, Phillip Berman, has represented the United States in numerous international catamaran regattas, placing first, second, and third in world championship competition. A graduate of Harvard, Phillip has served as the Sailing Master of the Eastern Point Yacht Club in Gloucester, MA., and has authored many books on catamaran sailing and racing. Phillip has extensive cruising and racing experience in the South Pacific, California, Mexico, the Great Lakes, South Africa, the Atlantic, the Caribbean and the Mediterranean.

When it comes to multihull design and construction Phillip and his highly trained team of catamaran and trimaran experts know what works and what doesn't - and they are not afraid to tell you the truth. They understand the needs of every type of multihull sailor, from coastal cruisers to world voyagers, offshore racers to liveaboards. To experience The Multihull Company difference, please contact our corporate offices in Philadelphia at 215-508-2704. View our Mission Statement.

The Perils of Internet Catamaran Shopping

Any yacht broker who sells a powerboat one day and a single hulled sailboat the next cannot be a true “buyer broker.” At The Multihull Company every broker is a true expert – all we do,.....


Cruisin' the Left Coast

2008 swings into boat show season and I look forward to standing on the docks in Miami surrounded by catamarans in great concentration.

Considering the Trimaran Option

Have you considered a trimaran for your next cruising boat? There may be compelling reasons to do so.
