Story by Andrew Holland / January 9, 2026
In the world of multihulls, there are boats built for the masses, and then there are boats built for the individual. For those who have spent years on the water, the transition from “sailing” to “voyaging” requires a vessel that offers more than just extra cabins—it requires a sanctuary that can handle the rigors of the open ocean without sacrificing the comforts of home.
We recently sat down with one of our clients to discuss their journey toward boat ownership. In the latest video from Privilege Marine, they share the raw, honest reasons why, after surveying the entire market, the answer was always going to be a Privilège.
Privilège Catamarans have long been the gold standard for luxury blue-water cruising. But what does that actually mean for the owner at the helm? As our client explains in the video, the decision came down to three non-negotiable pillars:
One of the first things owners notice when stepping aboard a Privilège is what they don’t hear. Thanks to a robust construction process and a high-bridgedeck clearance, the “shudder and groan” common in mass-production cats is virtually non-existent. For our client, knowing the boat was built to withstand the North Atlantic was the ultimate peace of mind.
Most shipyards offer a few upholstery colors and call it “custom.” Privilège takes a different approach. Because these boats are built in limited numbers at the Les Sables-d’Olonne shipyard, owners can work with designers to tailor the layout to their specific lifestyle. Whether it’s a dedicated home office for a digital nomad or a gourmet galley for a world-class chef, the boat is built around the dreamer.
It is often said that the owner’s cabin on a Privilège is the best in the industry. Spanning the center of the boat and pushing forward into the nacelle, it offers a level of volume and privacy usually reserved for 80-foot superyachts. For a couple living aboard full-time, this isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity for long-term comfort.
At The Multihull Company, we don’t just sell boats; we represent a philosophy of excellence.
Choosing a Privilège is about more than picking a brand—it’s about joining a legacy of sailors who refuse to compromise on safety, style, or soul.

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.
The Multihull Company is incredibly helpful and friendly. I highly suggest their services
