About
The benefits of a catamaran are well known, and the PDQ 41 is one of the most highly engineered cruising catamarans available today—accentuating all of those advantages in a proven, no-nonsense design. Shallow draft, low fuel consumption, expansive living spaces, enormous storage capacity, and a remarkably smooth ride in offshore conditions have long made the PDQ 41 a leader among serious cruising yachts.
This particular PDQ 41, FELIX, represents a rare opportunity. The current owner has completed an extensive list of high-quality upgrades but, unfortunately, has not had the time to fully enjoy the boat. As a result, FELIX offers the next owner the best of both worlds: a proven, stand-alone power catamaran platform combined with modern systems, technology, and comforts already in place—ready to cruise immediately.
Already respected for efficiency, comfort, and offshore capability, this PDQ 41 now benefits from significant enhancements in solar generation, lithium power management, electronics, communications, ground tackle, tender handling, and interior comfort. From a fully integrated Victron lithium system and oversized Garmin displays, to upgraded biminis, davits, Starlink connectivity, watermaker, and a brand-new tender package, the heavy lifting has been done.
For the buyer who wants to start cruising—not start upgrading—this PDQ 41 is ready.

The PDQ 41 features the largest owners suite of any 41’ on the market today. The standard queen sized berth lifts up for storage underneath and is located on the same level as the salon with incredible water views. The mattress was replaced in 2018.
As you step down into the starboard hull you find a luxurious changing area with two hanging lockers, four large drawers, and lots of storage cabinets. Moving forward you enter the master head with a Jabsco quiet flush toilet, fresh water head and a stall shower that is large enough for two people. The master suite has its own a/c unit and is well ventilated with two hatches, three opening ports, a Hella fan and two opening aft windows.
The guest quarters are located on the port side. It has a double berth, opening hatch, opening port and a Hella fan. Guest mattress was purchased in 2018 and covered so it presents well if the bunk is not made up. The guest head is located forward of the galley and features a shower, sink and Jabsco Quiet Flush toilet.
The salon custom table also drops down (cushions provided) to make additional sleeping for two. Standard window curtains were replaced with honeycomb shades in all cabins and heads.
Galley
The galley on the PDQ 41 is located in the port hull, down two steps. The galley is open to the salon so that the chef is never out of sight of the entertainment. The Galley features the following :
The galley has enormous volumes of storage and lots of counter space. Even the most demanding chef will be pleased with the layout and functionality.
Two large pantries are also located in the forward end of the galley. Because the galley opens up directly into the salon it is quite open and very much a part of the entertaining area.

She also comes with the following additional items:
Overall design
PDQ has developed a reputation for having the most advanced technical design capability in the catamaran industry. This was proven with the incredible efficiency and seaworthiness of the 34. In the design of the 41′, they were able to “scale up” the proven 34 hull design with minor modifications and it has now proven to be as efficient as the 34. With a larger footprint, higher bridgedeck clearance and more displacement, the designers were able to deliver a smoother-riding and quieter yacht that can handle much larger seas comfortably. It is not uncommon to run the 41′ in 5′ seas at 18 knts comfortably.
Owners that enjoy performing maintainance tasks will appreciate the care that has been taken to locate all components in very accessable locations. Owners also appreciate that the hull is laid up with solid fiberglass below the waterline. Closed cell foam coring is only used above the waterline. This translates to a more durable boat, one that can be intentionally beached or anchored somewhere that dries out. Lastly, the running gear is protected by a skeg so running the boat aground will not likely cause any damage. The PDQ uses Marelon seacocks and through hulls and the propeller shafts are bronze so the troublesome corrosion problems that go along with aluminum drive units and metal seacocks is substantially reduced. Bottom line…the 41 is a good offshore design that will not let you down when the going gets tough but also incorporates many features that make it a great long-term live-aboard yacht.
The PDQ41 has an excellent and unusual feature in the engine cooling systems. Each engine has 2 salt water intakes and filters, one on each side of its hulls. A valve lets you select which side you use. So if the intake you are running on becomes clogged, it is a simple matter to move the selector valve to switch to the other side.

I chose Zee (Zvonimir Kalinic) after posting an ad for a broker on Yacht Sales from about 15 other brokers because he showed professionalism and care right away compared to the others. Most of the brokers never intended to show people my boat but yet somehow expected to collect commission. Zee met me in Novigrad and spent 3 hours taking photos and drone footage and throughout the listing period was communicating continuously and advising me about any offers that came through. His service was at a high standard that I was extremely happy with and felt comfortable at all times especially since I’m in Sydney and my boat is in Montenegro. I can’t recommend Zee highly enough to anyone looking to sell their boat with peace of mind.
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.
