The lines are secured, the salt has been washed from the decks, and the Nautitech 44 Open has successfully completed its post-show migration down the east coast to our docks in Charleston.
After generating significant buzz at the Annapolis Sailboat Show, the Nautitech 44 needed to move south for the winter season. Instead of a standard delivery crew, The Multihull Company’s own Will Miller and Conor Dugan took the opportunity to take helm for the offshore passage to Charleston, South Carolina to test the most recent model in offshore conditions.
As you can see in our newly released video documenting the trip, this passage served as the ultimate sea trial. The video doesn’t just show a boat moving from Point A to Point B; it demonstrates the reality of life aboard an N44 at sea. Will and Conor now sit down to share their thoughts and highlight the responsiveness of the signature aft helm stations, the security of the motion in Atlantic swell, and the incredible livability of the “Open” concept when underway.
The boat proved to our team that she is more than just a comfortable platform for cocktails at the dock—she is a genuine performance cruiser built for sailors.
While watching the video gives you a sense of the N44’s capabilities, nothing compares to standing on the deck yourself.
We are pleased to announce that this Nautitech 44 is now berthed in Charleston, SC, and is available for immediate showings.
If you missed your chance during the crowded boat show, or if the delivery video has convinced you that the N44 deserves a closer look, this is the perfect opportunity. Away from the hustle of the show tents, you can take your time exploring the unique layout, inspecting the build quality, and discussing your cruising plans in a relaxed environment.
The delivery down the coast also highlighted something else: the further expertise of The Multihull Company team regarding the Nautitech brand.
As authorized Nautitech Catamarans dealers, we offer our clients more than just access to showings. We provide a comprehensive pathway to ownership backed by direct factory relationships.
Don’t just watch the adventure on screen—start planning your own. The Nautitech 44 Open is waiting for you in Charleston.
Contact us today to schedule your private showing and discover why this vessel is redefining the performance cruising catamaran market.
We had an outstanding experience working with Andrew Hodgdon to find our dream boat, an Outremer 52.
We were actually referred to him by several different people—clients who had been very happy working with him, as well as boat owners who were planning to use him to sell their own boats. After working with Andrew ourselves, we completely understand why he came so highly recommended.
We worked with him for several months, and from start to finish, he was exceptional. Andrew is incredibly knowledgeable and truly an expert when it comes to performance catamarans. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, was always responsive and organized, and never made us feel pressured throughout the process.
Andrew went above and beyond to arrange showings for us in multiple states and even traveled to another state to be there with us for the sea trial. His expertise and guidance gave us tremendous confidence as we evaluated such a significant purchase.
The entire process could have been overwhelming, but he made it remarkably smooth. He was on top of every detail and made the paperwork and closing process easy, working seamlessly with his team at The Multihull Company.
What impressed us most was that he genuinely had our best interests in mind. And his support didn’t end when the sale was completed. He has continued to stay in touch and has made it clear that he is still available to help us if we ever need him. That kind of follow-through is rare and speaks volumes about the kind of broker he is.
Buying an Outremer 52 was a huge decision and a major investment, and having someone with his knowledge, experience, responsiveness, and integrity made the entire experience so much easier and more enjoyable.
We couldn’t recommend Andrew Hodgdon more highly. If you’re looking for a yacht broker—especially if you’re considering a performance catamaran—we would choose him again without hesitation. The fact that so many people recommended him to us was the reason we called him, and after working with him, we would be one of those people recommending him to others.
I highly recommend Andrew Hodgdon. He served as our buyers broker. He is responsive, highly knowledgeable and very experienced. He is also an excellent guide and counselor before, during and after the boat purchase process. If you are looking for a good-sailing cat, he seems to collect most of the available boats on the better-sailing side of the market. Top marks.
Andrew did an excellent job getting me started on my new adventures. Worked with my conflicting schedule. Is very knowledgeable in the catamaran industry. 😎
I recently sold my Lagoon 450 with the Multihull Team. I would highly recommend their services. The professionalism and personal treatment I received was greatly appreciated.
Great Service, Great People
Helped me through the process.
I would go through them again in a future purchase.
