The Multihull Company Heritage

When Phillip Berman founded The Multihull Company in 1999 he had no idea how fast it would grow.  All he knew for sure was that he had a life-long passion for voyaging and racing catamarans and that he wanted to share that passion with others and in a manner that no one else in the marketplace had realized at the time: by offering purchasing advice to buyers exclusively.  He wanted to connect with those sailors who were eager to experience the life of the water, the life of the sea and share his extensive knowledge with them by helping match the right sailor with the right yacht.

1.     The Multihull Company has grown market share every year since it first opened its doors in 1999.

2.  In the middle of the global recession, TMC outperformed its competitors – selling yachts in what was – and may yet still be! - easily the worst market in most of our lifetimes. While its competitors shed brokers and costs, TMC kept focused on the sailor and his or her needs.  It invested in the future and did not cut costs or brokers.

3.       In 2009 and 2010, its gross sales remained over $20 million annually

4.       TMC’s closest competitor notes it sells approximately 70 catamarans a year, with an average value of $225,000. The Multihull Company sells 45 catamarans a year on average, but its average sale value is $425,000. The Multihull Company sells larger cats and cats of a higher average value than any full-service multihull brokerage company in the world. This makes our firm the clear brokerage of choice for those sellers who wish to reach the highly educated, sophisticated buyers that can afford to own and invest in a large catamaran sailboat and harbor it anywhere in the world.
