About

Steel Ketch 2 Cabin / 1 Head

Designed by Pieter Beeldsnijeder and build by Sailing Marina, Harderwijk Werft, NL

Aquataurus is a well-cared for center-cockpit steel ketch with a hard dodger, soft bimini and full enclosure for the cockpit with vinyl cushions for all cockpit seating. It has a custom swim platform to assist with boarding and water activities. There is a sitting area aft with a shade cover for afternoon G & Ts. There are robust handholds everywhere including granny bars around the main mast which makes this super safe in various conditions. Fresh varnish all around the boat done by Winfield Sargent from Bequia. Custom Sunbrella covers on the hatches and woodwork. The glass windows provide a wide field of vision protected from the weather and seas! All standing rigging and headsail furlers were new in 2018, with a Doyle StackPak mainsail cover.

Below, you will be impressed with the Swiss craftmanship and immaculate quarter-sawn Mahogany wood throughout the cabins. All the cabinets have ventilated doors. The galley is L shaped has 1.5 steel sink with Corian countertops, top-loading fridge and two burner stove. Massive storage in every corner no wasted space.

Tufted over-stuffed cushions adorn the settees one on each side the boat. The forward cabin has split single berths. The head is located in the passage way to the aft cabin. You can also access the engine from here(main engine access from the cockpit, as well), The aft cabin features a full-size pullman oriented bed with an L shaped settee.

Equipped with 300 Watts of solar and wind power, 400 Ah AGM house battery and a 4 KW engine driven Dynawatt generator for 220 V and 110 V AC at sea. A huge bowsprit and ketch rig give you plenty of sail options. The cut-away 4 ft. keel with keel hung rudder tucked in the back. Fresh bottom paint was justapplied. Newer AB RIB tender with chaps and 15 Hp Nissan outboard, 80 meters of new chain and a 25 Kg Rocna anchor provide security at anchor.

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.
