About
Fresh from the design board of award-winning catamaran designer Anton Du Toit comes the Balance 760, a luxury performance fly-bridge catamaran designed for high-speed world voyaging. Skimmer is the first of the new Balance range of large semi-custom catamarans.
As with all Balance Catamarans, Skimmer's design brief is centered on achieving a perfect balance between comfort at anchor and performance underway. She is designed to average speeds of 12 to 20 knots easily under sail, without effort - no racing crew required.
During her sea trials in January 2017, with South Easter winds of 20-25 knots, Skimmer achieved boat speeds of 28 to 30 knots with the code zero up. When the wind eased to 15 knots the speed fell to around 18 to 20 knots. Skimmer sails comfortably in most conditions and will sit in and sail averages well over 15 knots in the trade winds. Under power she runs fuel efficiently in the 10 to 11 knot range, making her an ideal expeditionary catamaran for those who really want to go places in style.
Skimmer, like all Balance Catamarans, is built with only the finest materials. She is E-glass, carbon reinforced, foam core, and epoxy resins are used in her hulls and decks. All her cabinet grade furniture is foam sandwich. The end result is a 76 foot Catamaran that looks and feels like a luxury yacht inside and out but comes in at just 34 tons fully loaded with all of the creature comforts you would expect to find on a yacht of this size.
Skimmer is currently located in Croatia.
Great Service, Great People
Helped me through the process.
I would go through them again in a future purchase.
The Multihull Company made the process of buying our boat easy and predictable. Both our agent (Francisco Montaner) and Andrew Holland communicated well and educated/informed us of each step in the process. I highly recommend The Multihull Company for those shopping for a catamaran!
Chuck at The Multihull Company is the real deal.
He helped us find our Lagoon 40 after genuinely listening to what we needed, not just what he had to sell. He let us visit the boat multiple times, answered every question honestly, and helped us make a confident decision on a major purchase.
What impressed us most was the post-sale support. Once the paperwork was signed, Chuck was still picking up the phone, offering referrals, and helping us work through the early stages of liveaboard life. That kind of follow-through is rare.
If you are looking for a multihull and want someone who knows the boats and actually cares about the outcome, Chuck is the person to call.
We just purchased a 2025 Nautitech 44 Open with The Multihull Company. The process of getting here has been great, and we could not have asked for a better agent. We worked with Conor, whom we met at the 2025 Cannes Boat Show. We started our search for a cruising catamaran in Florida at the beginning of the year. We spent a couple of months looking at different boats/models within our price range and quickly narrowed it down to what really mattered to us, in part thanks to the wealth of knowledge and expertise our broker provided. When we found a perfect match in Montenegro, Conor and The Multihull Company did not hesitate to continue supporting us and to lead the efforts from start to finish with great care and transparency. Communication and support have been outstanding throughout this entire process. Conor, in particular, showed great compassion and care, going above and beyond to ensure that no stone was left unturned and that we would be able to safely and happily sail off into our big adventure.
A sale well handled. No inflated expectations and an honest opinion throughout. Highly recommended.
