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.

The brokerage team has been amazing. They helped me find the right catamaran for our family of four, with enough space for extended family and friends to stay with us anytime. The broker really helped me narrow down what I needed. I started with a long list and eventually narrowed it down to something that was the right fit and price for me.
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.
