About
In the evolution of the cruising catamaran, we have reached a point where there are two fairly distinct design mandates to build boats. The first are the extremely comfortable and luxurious cats whose origins are in the world of charter. The second group has been the growth sector for the last few years, and is based around optimizing the sailing performance possibilities of a catamaran, with as much comfort as is practical sprinkled in. There are many different takes on how to accomplish this, but Catana certainly deserves her place as one of the first to value sailing performance on an equal or greater level than luxury.
The era of Catana which defined the company was from about 1999 until say 2012. Catanas built in this period are legendary, the 431/471/521/581 and concurrent 2 series boats defined an idea that has become very prominent today. Built with equal parts performance and comfort, these are still to this day the most desirable performance cats at a certain price point in our industry. The boats really don't depreciate, and remain a great value.
Apricus is a very clean 431. The interior woodwork, often the thing at deteriorates in these boats is in very nice condition. Beyond that, the boat has all sorts of upgrades, notably new engines, standing rigging was done 5 years back. The boat looks great, and is the desirable owner's version configuration.

It’s been a few weeks now and the dust has settled. We had a great experience with the Multihull Company and in particular our broker, Caroline Laviolette. Caroline was happy to share her knowledge of the market and the catamarans we were interested in purchasing. She was patient and thorough as we looked at several boats in SE Florida, helped us narrow our search and eventually purchase a beautiful 2017 Lagoon 42. Many thanks to the team at The Multihull Company!
We had a great experience purchasing our boat with Will Miller as a buyers agent. Purchasing our first large Cat is a daunting experience and Will was able to walk us through the process with ease. Will was very straight forward and constantly gave us honest feedback as well as finding and pointing out details on all the boats that we may not have noticed or thought about.
We had a great experience and would use them again.
I would specifically recommend a buyers agent when purchasing to help weed through a lot of problems and misrepresented boats on the market.
We have had great experiences with the Multihull company. We both sold our old boat through them, and bought our new boat through them. I have to say that Will Miller is top-notch, and Riley was great as our broker for selling our O day 39. when you buy a Salt or Boat through them, I feel like you are not only clients, but you are friends. The lines of communication were always open and we were always informed of everything going on.
Riley, and the entire staff at The Multihull Company, were incredibly helpful and responsive in helping me find and purchase my catamaran. I was a first time purchaser and had many questions about the process and Riley was very responsive in answering those questions. I would recommend The Multihull Company to anyone in the market to purchase or sell their boat.
Successful relationships cannot exist without it. At The Multihull Company we base every relationship on a firm commitment to earning and retaining our client’s trust.
