About
Description:
Bonzer, an Explorer 44™ trimaran design, combines comfortable accommodations with excellent performance. She is a fast and safe offshore cruising boat with very seakindly motion capable of steady sailing speeds in the low teens. Pushed hard she can reach 20 knots or more under sail. Windward performance is exceptional. In a breeze Bonzer will sail upwind faster than many racing monohulls.
The accommodation layout offers privacy in the spacious aft cabin which makes this design very comfortable when cruising with friends or family.
The deck layout is designed for easy short handed sailing. All sail controls are within easy reach. Sail hoisting can be done single handed from the cockpit.
Her epoxy composite construction is robust enough to withstand to rigors of ocean cruising. Modern carbon fiber crossbeams ensure a very rigid and fatigue resistant structure.
An inboard diesel engine provides ample power and range to motor through calms or adverse conditions as well as sufficient electrical power and hot water.

The brokerage team has been amazing. They helped me find the right catamaran for our family of four, with enough space for extended family and friends to stay with us anytime. The broker really helped me narrow down what I needed. I started with a long list and eventually narrowed it down to something that was the right fit and price for me.
I cannot speak too highly of Andrew Hodgdon and his colleagues at the Multihull Company.
The process of selling my boat was very smooth and well managed and with excellent communication – especially important as I was unable to be nearby during the sale process. Andrew’s deep knowledge of the market and my boat was very reassuring. We spoke regularly and he kept me closely advised all the way through to a happy sale. I found him a good guy, very helpful, willing to share and bounce ideas around, and I enjoyed working with him. Highly recommended!
Andrew Hodgdon and The Multihull Company are really professional! I just closed a deal with them, and everything was pretty smooth. Andrew was punctual, showed a lot of expertise, and he was honest about all the problems with the boat. He is also giving me the support I need to run all the projects on this boat. This whole process was much better than I was expecting, and I recommend this team! Thank you, Andrew.
The multihull company, specifically Andrew Hodgson worked with me in the sale of Gods Grace, a 50’ Voyage 500. They made sure that as many people as possible touched it, laid hands on it, ultimately resulting in a offer and sale and was extremely helpful in the prep and sale process as I did not live locally… If you want to make sure that people actually see your vessel, will be honest and truly assist you in the sale, Andrew is the man for the job.
