About
A Yachting journalist once likened our Balance 526 to a BMW M Series, so who are we to argue? With her foam core hulls and decks, carbon daggerboards, heavily carbon reinforced structures and full epoxy construction, shes built and sails just like a high-performance racing cat yet remains amazingly easy to operate and maintain.
The 526 was awarded Import Boat of the Year by Cruising World magazine in 2016 as well as Best Multihull Over 50 Feet, and shes been winning awards ever since, including first to finish in the 2023 Cape to Race. But.she is a liveaboard voyaging catamaran - we did not set out to create a racing boat, fast as she is.
The 526 was the first catamaran we designed and built to utilize our now famous 90 degree pivoting VersaHelm. Others have tried to copy us, but nobody has perfected our exciting innovation as we have.
With her owner-version configuration, the Balance 526 easily accommodates six to eight people. And Balances innovative salon table converts into a queen-size bed so you can always host another couple. It is also a place to hang out, read a book, or sleep when your partner is on watch. Her master shower aft is luxurious. The 526 sports 610 headroom, boasts a large U-shaped galley, and offers more real wood hand-made cabinetry than any performance catamaran of her size and class.
Shes a pleasure to move about on whether thats cooking, sleeping, lounging, bathing, dining or entertaining friends and family. There is a place to store everything on the 526, and a lot of places to just hang out and relax. You can pilot her up top in fair weather, pilot her down in the cold, you can lounge and read inside or outside, turn your tables into beds, into dining tables, into pleasure nooks for reading or watching the latest film.
If you love to sail, and hate settling for anything but the best, the Balance 526 is in a class all her own. She can be built in our standard Carbon Cross version, Carbon Cross +, or our full Carbon XP version.

Your team delivered on every mark. Youβve got an amazing broker in Mark Wattrus and Iβm confident you will have continued success moving forward together. He was available 24/7 whenever I had questions. We had a great initial visit on the boat and his marketing plan and photos were superb
I bought a yacht that I had never seen. I did this because I trusted my broker Andrew Holland. It was not an easy job for Andrew, as I am an experienced boat builder and owner of previous yachts, but work in West Africa. Imagine how hard it was to communicate what I was looking for. Andrew came up with exactly what I wanted. He dealt with time delays, all my questions at odd hours, and was there for the survey. He reported honestly and professionally. After buying the yacht, I arrived at the boat on a Sunday night, after dark, after travelling from West Africa to the Caribbean, and found it was better than expected. He never pulled punches and made me aware of shortfalls. I expected to spend my one month leave working on the boat, but actually spent less than one week, and was able to spend 3 weeks sailing β wonderful bonus.
Thank you Andrew for putting up with all my questions, all my worries and all my crazy out of the time zone concerns β you were totally professional, but also I know that if and when we meet up, it will be like a friend finally meeting. You are always welcome on Aseka.
Outstanding company with professional subject matter experts. If I were to buy or sell cruising sailboat, particularly a catamaran, Andrew would be my go to broker.
I have been sailing since I was a child and attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy. But when my wife and I began the process of purchasing an ocean cruising/racing catamaran, I realized that this is a world unto itself. Obviously, we needed to find someone knowledgeable to help us make an informed decision. More importantly, we needed someone honest and willing to put our interests before his or her own. I was lucky to work with Phil Berman at The Multihull Company. He repeatedly shunned the fast buck, choosing instead to work the long road to connect us with the βperfect boatβ. I would be glad to recommend Phil and his company to anyone planning to purchase or sell a performance sailing machine.
Andrew Hodgdon was our broker when we bought our 2018 Lagoon 450F in Antigua in April 2922. He provided great service and was very attentive to our needs. We would highly recommend Andrew and the Multihull Company.
