Building a new catamaran is the ultimate expression of your sailing dreams. It’s a chance to create a vessel perfectly tailored to your vision, your family, and your adventures.
But the path from a blank page to a successful launch is filled challenges and important decisions along the way.
Without an expert on your side, you are navigating this multi-million dollar investment alone.
The Multihull Company’s New Build Consultation service bridges the gap. We become your dedicated Owner’s Representative—your personal expert, advocate, and project manager.
Our only allegiance is to you.
We leverage decades of technical expertise, market knowledge, and shipyard relationships to protect your interests, mitigate risk, and transform your vision into a reality.
Our consultation is not a one-size-fits-all product. We provide a tailored partnership that covers the entire lifecycle of your build.
1. Vision & Concept Definition We start by listening. We help you refine your mission, whether it’s global circumnavigation, high-performance cruising, or placing a vessel into charter. We analyze the market offerings to find the perfect fit for your goals and budget.
2. Shipyard Selection & Vetting Don’t rely on marketing brochures. We provide new build consultations and provide real world experience across our range of new boat offerings and our direct first hand experience with each manufacturer.
3. Contract & Specification Review This is where the most value is gained and the most risk is avoided. Our team meticulously reviews contracts, standard specifications and secondary options with each new boat ordered. We identify ambitions and offer direct first hand experience with best options to be chosen along your build process based on your specific needs, and the options offered by the Manufacturer. We will protect you from unfavorable clauses, and ensure every critical detail—from engine selection to the color of fabrics—is clearly defined.
4. Build Oversight & Quality Control We act as your eyes and ears on the factory floor. We can perform regular on-site inspections, provide detailed photographic progress reports, and participate in project management calls.
5. Commissioning, Sea Trials & Handover The final 10% is critical. We manage the final acceptance, commissioning, and sea trial process. We create the definitive “punch list” and ensure every item is rectified by the shipyard before you take final delivery.
6. Post-Launch Support Our relationship doesn’t end at the dock. We remain your advocate, assisting with warranty claims, operational setup, and advising on vessel management to protect your asset.

A sale well handled. No inflated expectations and an honest opinion throughout. Highly recommended.
Absolutely THE ONLY company to use for buying or selling a catamaran! Our Broker Andrew Hodgdon, was excellent to work with, an experienced catamaran captain with extensive knowledge of sailing catamarans, the ins and outs of the construction, performance, systems, everything involved and life on board catamarans. All of which is invaluable in looking for the right boat for someone to buy or helping market your boat when selling. The Multihull Company is so connected in the catamaran world and used by so many catamaran sailors and searchers that we had an interested buyer before our boat was even listed and a completed sale 60 days after her first showing!!! Thanks Andrew and all of the Multihull team who worked diligently to make it happen so smoothly!
We had a great experience working with Andrew! He was extremely knowledgeable and listened to our needs of what we wanted our next boat to be. He responded quickly to all of our requests and got us to the finish line. Working with Multihull was seamless and we highly recommend using Andrew and Multihull.
Chris Block was our broker. He was great. He went above and beyond what we thought we needed. His expertise helped us get our dream boat for way less than expected. I will use TMC and Chris Block in the future. Definitely recommend.
Chris Rundlett in Grenada was my buyers broker for a catamaran I purchased in Tortola.
The buying process was problematic with numerous mechanical issues needing attention. Throughout the process he was fantastic. I would highly recommend him if you’re looking to buy a boat in the Caribbean.
