About
Alacrity was built by Fortuna Boat Builders, a professional builder, in Cape Town South Africa
then launched in 1990. For the next several years, Alacrity sailed proudly in the waters of the
South Atlantic before her next adventure.
Alacrity was completely overhauled in 2006 for a global circumnavigation. The hull, from about
12 above the waterline to the keel, has a progressive 6 to 12 additional layers of fibreglass to
reinforce the hull in preparation of the circumnavigation.
Alacrity has 2 separate lifting ring positions on the main cabin roof. One is over the main engine
position and the other is over the generator position. No additional reinforcement is needed to
lift the engine or generator other than your lifting hoists. Youll see these in the pictures
This is arguably the strongest built boat you will find from the main cabin roof structure to the
decks to the hull, its purposefully overbuilt for trans-oceanic safety. ** Constructed / approved
for Ocean going unrestricted.
In the pictures, youll also see a fantastic manually lowering/raising dive & swim platform! A
brilliant system that wont add to power usage. Other vessels in your anchorage will be jealous
of this great system indeed!
Adding to the impressive overall hull safety of Alacrity is a series of new upgrades /
improvements you will appreciate.

Great Service, Great People
Helped me through the process.
I would go through them again in a future purchase.
The Multihull Company made the process of buying our boat easy and predictable. Both our agent (Francisco Montaner) and Andrew Holland communicated well and educated/informed us of each step in the process. I highly recommend The Multihull Company for those shopping for a catamaran!
Chuck at The Multihull Company is the real deal.
He helped us find our Lagoon 40 after genuinely listening to what we needed, not just what he had to sell. He let us visit the boat multiple times, answered every question honestly, and helped us make a confident decision on a major purchase.
What impressed us most was the post-sale support. Once the paperwork was signed, Chuck was still picking up the phone, offering referrals, and helping us work through the early stages of liveaboard life. That kind of follow-through is rare.
If you are looking for a multihull and want someone who knows the boats and actually cares about the outcome, Chuck is the person to call.
We just purchased a 2025 Nautitech 44 Open with The Multihull Company. The process of getting here has been great, and we could not have asked for a better agent. We worked with Conor, whom we met at the 2025 Cannes Boat Show. We started our search for a cruising catamaran in Florida at the beginning of the year. We spent a couple of months looking at different boats/models within our price range and quickly narrowed it down to what really mattered to us, in part thanks to the wealth of knowledge and expertise our broker provided. When we found a perfect match in Montenegro, Conor and The Multihull Company did not hesitate to continue supporting us and to lead the efforts from start to finish with great care and transparency. Communication and support have been outstanding throughout this entire process. Conor, in particular, showed great compassion and care, going above and beyond to ensure that no stone was left unturned and that we would be able to safely and happily sail off into our big adventure.
A sale well handled. No inflated expectations and an honest opinion throughout. Highly recommended.
Successful relationships cannot exist without it. At The Multihull Company we base every relationship on a firm commitment to earning and retaining our client’s trust.
