Confident Purchases Start Here.

You’ve found the catamaran you dream of owning. Now, gain the absolute confidence to handle it.

The Multihull Company’s Train and Try Before You Buy Program is your bridge from prospective buyer to skilled captain. In partnership with elite sailing schools and charter bases, we offer hands-on training and trials tailored specifically for multihulls—ideally, on the very model you intend to buy.

Why “Train Before You Buy?

Handling a 45-foot catamaran is vastly different from a monohull. Our program is designed to build mastery and confidence in the key areas where catamarans excel, and where they require unique skills.

  • Upgrading from a Monohull? Master twin-engine maneuvering, close-quarters docking, and anchoring with a wide beam.
  • New to Sailing? Build a strong foundation of sailing fundamentals on the exact platform you’ll be owning.
  • Bringing a Partner Aboard? This is the perfect way to get you and your co-captain comfortable and working together, ensuring you’re both ready for the adventure ahead.

This isn’t a generic sailing class. This is targeted training for your future as a catamaran owner.

Why “Try Before You Buy?

This is the smartest, most risk-free way to buy a boat. If you proceed with a purchase, your “research” vacation was  effectively free. If you decide against it, you’ve still had an incredible sailing trip and gained invaluable knowledge for your ongoing search.

  • Total Confidence: Make the biggest purchase of your life with zero doubt.
  • Go Beyond the Brochure: Gain real-world experience that no spec sheet or video can provide.
  • Test the Lifestyle: This is the ultimate test for you, your partner, and your family to ensure the boat truly fits your dreams.
  • A Seamless Experience: We only work with the industry’s most reputable charter partners, ensuring a premium vessel and a flawless experience.

Your Training Cost is an Investment, Not an Expense

We are so confident this training will empower your purchase decision that we’ve made it a risk-free investment.

Train and Sail Today. Get It Credited Tomorrow.

When you move forward and purchase any new vessel from The Multihull Company, we will credit the full cost of your sail training or charter off the final purchase price of your boat.

Your education or charter is on us.

  4. Buy with 100% Assurance: Armed with new skills and confidence, you can now finalize your purchase decision, knowing you are fully prepared to take the helm.
  5. Receive Your Credit: Upon closing, your broker will apply the credit for your training directly to your purchase, effectively making your education free.

A sale well handled. No inflated expectations and an honest opinion throughout. Highly recommended.

— Nicholas Laing

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!

— Linda W.

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.

— Austin Smith

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.
