SHAMBALA – Punch 1500 LC
Built to sail, not to impress. SHAMBALA is a 2002 Punch 1500 LC—a design from Multicap Caraïbes that was engineered for cruisers who understand that capability outlasts flash. At 14.90 metres with an 8.10-metre beam and 1.40-metre draft, she's proven bluewater design from architects Mortain-Mavrikios who didn't overthink it: the shallow draft gets you into anchorages most cruisers can only dream of, the catamaran hull gives you real stability, and the layout works because it was built for people who actually live aboard.
Her current owner has had her since 2016 and clearly knows what he's doing. Recent comprehensive refits in 2018 and 2024 weren't cosmetic exercises—they were the work of someone who respects the boat. Twin Volvo D2 55-hp diesels with updated Saildrives, modern electronics, and fresh carbon sails from North Sails (68m² main, 80m² furling gennaker from 2020) mean she sails efficiently. The systems work: 60 L/h watermaker, 600-litre water and fuel capacity, lithium battery bank with solar array, and a low-hour Fischer Panda generator for the stuff that matters.
The layout is genuinely liveable. An aft owner's suite with a proper 160x200cm berth, forward guest cabins, electric heads with showers, and a convertible workshop space—all opening to a bright saloon and working cockpit. This is how people actually cruise: with room to move, space for guests, and no pretence about square footage that photographs well but doesn't function.
She's been maintained with intention. Dyneema lifelines, 2024 EPIRB, recent trampolines, full service history. The details accumulate—the kind of details you only notice when you're someone who knows what to look for.
Currently berthed in Phuket under Malaysian flag in good condition. A working boat that's been properly cared for. If honest engineering and honest maintenance matter to you, come see her.

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.

More About MultihullAnswer a few quick questions for your number. Every answer is saved to your Buyer Profile, so every boat on the site is priced for you.
A TMC buyer's broker will send line-by-line costs, what to check at survey, and how this boat compares with others that fit your plan.
Broad estimate by TMC based on the listing's published equipment, typical installed costs for this size of boat, and yard rates in the selected region. Not a survey, a quote or the listing broker's representation, and not a substitute for a professional marine survey. Verify all equipment and condition through a survey before you buy. Delivery, freight and financing figures are estimates; your broker confirms them.
