The boat is boarded from the bow outdoor deck. This full beam private deck offers a great space to hang and relax and dine alfresco when desired. The salon/country kitchen is entered through a large thermopane glass sliding door. To port is ample room for a sleep sofa, cocktail table and easy chair and modest dining table for 2-4. Opposite and to starboard is where the entertainment center is typically positioned. There is room for another chair here too. Moving aft and on this side is the country galley with sizeable L shaped counter and full appliances. A couple of bar stools/chairs will fit nicely on the end of the L. Opposite and to port is the full private bathroom with good sized shower stall, vanity and newer Incinolet toilet. Between galley and head is a nice looking wood ladder providing access to a large loft area useable for great storage and sleeping area for children if desired. Moving aft between ladder and fridge is the sliding privacy door to the master stateroom with several opening windows, washer/dryer, full bed platform with more storage below, and a large and wide hanging closet.
Main Salon
This spacious open-concept living area features soaring ceilings with beautiful exposed beam rafters, creating an airy, expansive feel. Large sliding glass doors and multiple operable thermopane windows fill the space with natural light and provide stunning sunset views from both inside and out. Easy-care engineered wood flooring runs throughout, offering a warm, attractive look while allowing for flexible placement of area rugs. A newer ceiling fan with integrated lighting complements the exposed-beam design, and ample 110V GFCI-protected outlets are conveniently located throughout the space. Comfort is ensured year-round by a newer (September 2025) 15,000 BTU Mitsubishi mini-split HVAC system with remote control, delivering exceptional energy efficiency and substantial electricity savings. The home also features a full 120/220V electrical panel with circuit breakers. The versatile layout easily accommodates a sleeper sofa, entertainment center, additional seating, and a dining table, all conveniently located adjacent to the galley kitchen.
Galley
The spacious country-style kitchen is designed for both functionality and comfort, featuring full-size residential appliances and an expansive L-shaped counter that provides ample workspace for meal preparation, casual dining, or barstool seating. Abundant upper and lower cabinets, drawers, and additional upgraded cabinetry along the exterior of the L-shaped layout offer exceptional storage capacity. A conveniently located water heater is tucked away in a lower cabinet, maximizing available space and allowing for a larger primary closet. The kitchen also includes a large stainless-steel double sink, a full-size stainless-steel electric range with a true residential-sized oven, a stainless-steel over-the-range vent hood, and a spacious stainless-steel Haier refrigerator with dual lower freezer drawers that provide easy access to frozen foods and additional storage convenience.
Master Stateroom
The primary bedroom is bright and inviting, with beautiful natural light streaming through classic thermopane double-hung windows on two walls. A full bed platform provides generous storage space underneath, while a large primary closet offers ample room for clothing and personal belongings. Multiple 110V electrical outlets are conveniently located throughout the room, and an additional wall-mounted air conditioner is available for occasional supplemental cooling if desired. For added convenience, the bedroom includes a stacked washer/dryer combination unit for onboard laundry (please ask the broker for details). Easy-maintenance engineered wood flooring complements the space, and a sliding privacy door maximizes usable floor area while providing separation from the main living area without the space requirements of a traditional swinging door.
Bathroom
The bathroom combines comfort and practicality with a durable engineered wood floor that offers excellent water resistance and easy maintenance. A vanity with sink and storage below provides convenient space for toiletries and essentials, complemented by a wall mirror and a large stall-style shower. Natural light and ventilation flow through a residential-style thermopane double-hung window, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. Additional features include a GFCI-protected 110V outlet and an exhaust vent fan for added comfort. The bathroom is equipped with a state-of-the-art Incinolet toilet, which eliminates the need for inconvenient waste pump-outs by reducing waste to a small amount of easily disposable ash. For owners who prefer a conventional marine toilet system, the existing 100-gallon waste holding tank remains in place and can be utilized for future conversion if desired.

If you want easy access to beautiful living on the water at what is arguably Boston’s BEST liveaboard marina, then look no further! This highly updated and improved Aqualodge 42 is far superior to “off the shelf” units and other similar houseboats when quality, ease of use, location and reduced costs are all factored in. Value is enhanced by these factors-ESPECIALLY by location. Location is everything for a houseboat in Boston and this one is delightful. Take it from this liveaboard/captain for the past 40 plus years-I know what I speak of because I live there myself! Summer season through end of October has been fully paid by the seller so buy soon and enjoy the summer and fall for free! Call to arrange your showing today!

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.
