About
In the evolution of the cruising catamaran, we have reached a point where there are two fairly distinct design mandates to build boats. The first are the extremely comfortable and luxurious cats whose origins are in the world of charter. The second group has been the growth sector for the last few years, and is based around optimizing the sailing performance possibilities of a catamaran, with as much comfort as is practical sprinkled in. There are many different takes on how to accomplish this, but Catana certainly deserves her place as one of the first to value sailing performance on an equal or greater level than luxury.
The era of Catana which defined the company was from about 1999 until say 2012. Catanas built in this period are legendary, the 431/471/521/581 and concurrent 2 series boats defined an idea that has become very prominent today. Built with equal parts performance and comfort, these are still to this day the most desirable performance cats at a certain price point in our industry. The boats really don't depreciate, and remain a great value.
Apricus is a very clean 431. The interior woodwork, often the thing at deteriorates in these boats is in very nice condition. Beyond that, the boat has all sorts of upgrades, notably new engines, standing rigging was done 5 years back. The boat looks great, and is the desirable owner's version configuration.

I cannot speak too highly of Andrew Hodgdon and his colleagues at the Multihull Company.
The process of selling my boat was very smooth and well managed and with excellent communication – especially important as I was unable to be nearby during the sale process. Andrew’s deep knowledge of the market and my boat was very reassuring. We spoke regularly and he kept me closely advised all the way through to a happy sale. I found him a good guy, very helpful, willing to share and bounce ideas around, and I enjoyed working with him. Highly recommended!
Andrew Hodgdon and The Multihull Company are really professional! I just closed a deal with them, and everything was pretty smooth. Andrew was punctual, showed a lot of expertise, and he was honest about all the problems with the boat. He is also giving me the support I need to run all the projects on this boat. This whole process was much better than I was expecting, and I recommend this team! Thank you, Andrew.
The multihull company, specifically Andrew Hodgson worked with me in the sale of Gods Grace, a 50’ Voyage 500. They made sure that as many people as possible touched it, laid hands on it, ultimately resulting in a offer and sale and was extremely helpful in the prep and sale process as I did not live locally… If you want to make sure that people actually see your vessel, will be honest and truly assist you in the sale, Andrew is the man for the job.
Andrew Hodgdon always goes above and beyond. After several transactions I wouldn’t work with anyone else in the industry.
Andrew at the Multihull Company was our buyer’s broker and he was excellent to work with. He thoroughly explained the purchase process, and helped with many questions along the way. We would definitely use Andrew and Multihull again to buy and sell catamarans and yachts.
