About

Solid Performance, Excellent Accommodations, and Good Value

PERFORMANCE

This is a Nelson / MarekdesignedCatalina. These guys design custom world class racers to including America's Cup yachts. The owners state: She is very fast. We normally cruise at 6 to 7 knots. If we have a good wind and shes at a broad reach, we have sailed as fast as 9 to 10 knots and you wont even spill a drop of coffee. They bought the boat in Florida in 2017 then sailed her all the way down and around the Caribbean chain. Auxiliary power is provided by a 44 HP Yamaha engine with 5977 hours.

EXCELLENT ACCOMMODATIONS

On deck, the large cockpit seats are long enough to host a lounging 68 passenger. Remove the helm seat for a nice swim platform. Below, the yacht is very well ventilated with plenty of port holes to create great airflow and comfortable living below. Extra fans have been installed to add to the comfort on windless days. There is new upholstery (2022) on the cozy L-shaped dinette with a folding table for versatility. Accommodations include a Pullman style berth forward with a large head and shower in the bow. This configuration eliminates the crowded effect of having the cabin in the bow. Two cabins aft are equipped with a hanging locker and spacious enough to change clothes. The second head / shower is located aft which is convenient while sailing underway.

GOOD VALUE

John Kretxchmer, in his 2008 Sailing Magazine review of the Catalina 42 states: This capable and versatile cruiser is a bargain. And It is also a sound value The is a great endorsement from a professional sailor and writer. At the current list price, it is below the market value because the owners are pursuing other interests and dont want to see her sitting in the water for too long.

Your team delivered on every mark. You’ve got an amazing broker in Mark Wattrus and I’m 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

— Jimmy

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 – 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 – 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.

— JT

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 “perfect boat”. I would be glad to recommend Phil and his company to anyone planning to purchase or sell a performance sailing machine.

— Eric Boutiette

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.
