The future of high-performance cruising has arrived. Here at The Multihull Company, we have been eagerly anticipating the newest masterpiece from Nautitech Catamarans, and we know our community of sailors has been too.
We are thrilled to bring you an exclusive, inside-look at the vessel that is redefining agile sailing in the 40-foot class.
Recently, The Multihull Company CEO, Will Miller, sat down with Maya Gautier, the Sales Director of Nautitech Catamarans, for a fascinating one-on-one conversation. Maya shared exclusive insights into the design philosophy, the standard-setting features, and most importantly, the release timeline for the highly anticipated Nautitech 41 Type S.
Whether you’re a blue-water veteran or planning your first major crossing, you won’t want to miss what they had to say about the ” manifesto of freedom” known as the Type S.
In this dynamic interview, Will and Maya dive deep into what makes Nautitech unique and what specific advancements have been made in the 41 Type S.
Maya explains that the “S” is not merely an aesthetic update—it stands for Sport, Sensation, and Sailing. This model, the successor to the beloved 40 Open, was designed specifically for the sailor who does not want to compromise on performance while maintaining true blue-water comfort. It features a re-optimized hull structure and refined material choices that result in a light displacement of just 9 tons, ensuring remarkable responsiveness in light winds.
The design—a collaboration between Marc Lombard Yacht Design Group and interior designer Christophe Chedal Anglay—reinvents indoor-outdoor living flow. Maya highlights the new panoramic 360° views in the saloon and modular interior options that adapt to your journey.
The most exciting news for our US community comes with the official announcement that a Nautitech 41 Type S is officially on order and will arrive in the United States in October of 2026.
The Multihull Company has secured a hull, which is scheduled to be delivered directly to our specialized docks in Charleston, South Carolina, before the end of the year. This provides an exclusive opportunity for American buyers to see, feel, and sea trial this revolutionary catamaran on home waters without international travel.
Due to the limited production run for the 2026 season, hull availability is already extremely competitive. If you are considering a vessel that bridges the gap between fast cruising and luxurious liveability, we urge you to act now.

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.
