Mermaid's Booty
Never chartered. Extensive equipment. Priced to move.
ICW FRIENDLY
Mermaid's Booty came across the Atlantic as part of the ARC. She has never been in charter. Once in the US, her owner set about bringing her to American standards: rewired to ABYC, added a Lithionics lithium house bank, solar, Colligo Dyneema-Dux standing rigging, Northern Lights generator, and a Spectra watermaker.
What stands out going through the boat is her extensive inventory of spares. Two spare Volvo alternators, a spare inverter, the original fixed props, extra watermaker filters, three spare anchors, and a full ship's technical library. She has been outfitted by someone who planned on being a long way from a chandlery.
Notable highlights include:
The Lipari 41 is one of the most livable boats Fountaine Pajot built in that era, and the layout is the reason. The cockpit and saloon sit on the same level with the helm integrated at the side rather than up on a flybridge, so whoever is steering stays in the conversation and you are not climbing anywhere to trim. The deck is clear of obstacles fore and aft. Three Harken winches sit at the helm, one of them a two-speed electric, and every control line is led back, which is what makes her a boat a couple can sail without anyone leaving the cockpit.
Forward, a custom folding stainless bowsprit built to match the A-frame carries the Code Zero on a Harken Reflex top-down furler, and it will fly a spinnaker as well. The genoa is Precision Dacron on a Harken #2 with a new headstay in 2022, and the square-top main sits in Dyneema lazy jacks in a Doyle Stackpack. Standing rigging is Colligo Dyneema-Dux, fitted in 2017.
440 amp hour Lithionics lithium bank at 12 volts, fed by 500 watts of solar through a MorningStar MPPT 45, twin 165 amp Balmar-regulated alternators, and twin 60 amp Sterling ProCharge Ultra chargers. A 2kW inverter handles AC, with a new spare aboard, and a 6kW Northern Lights genset covers on-demand power at 900 hours. The Spectra Ventura 12 volt watermaker keeps the tanks up, and the cabin top has integrated rain catchment on top of that. Refrigeration is a Frigoboat Capri keel-cooled system, so there is no raw water intake to clog or strain and it runs quiet. The Webasto diesel hydronic system puts heat in the saloon and stateroom and will make domestic hot water at anchor without running an engine. Air conditioning is 16,000 BTU.
The owner had the entire electronics suite pulled and rebuilt in one job by Stingray Marine Electronics here in Fort Pierce, to his own layout. A Garmin GPSMAP 8612 sits at the nav station and a 942 at the helm, with an 18 inch Fantom solid-state radar, a Garmin AIS 800 transceiver, and Garmin VHF at both stations. The autopilot is a Furuno NavPilot 711C with its own control head at the wheel, and Furuno FI70 displays run off new DST transducers. The NMEA 2000 backbone was rewired through the boat.
She was set up to be lived on, and the details show it. Blackout and mosquito blinds on every overhead hatch, mesh screens for the saloon windows, and two purpose-made hatch screens to funnel breeze into the aft cabin tops. A full cockpit enclosure with a separate helm windscreen and bimini. The cockpit and stern platforms are laid in synthetic teak. Ground tackle is a 60 pound stainless Mantus on 140 feet of 3/8 G4 chain spliced to 200 feet of octoplait, new in 2024, with a new bridle still in the box and three spares aboard including a plow and a folding navy grapple. Safety gear runs to Halon automatic fire suppression, an ACR EPIRB, NAVTEX GMDSS for weather and distress traffic, a Life Sling II and USCG signal equipment.
Both Volvo D1-30s turn three-blade folding props, with the original fixed props aboard as spares, and both carry underwater exhausts with stainless elbows and line cutters for quiet running. The saildrives have been rebuilt. Hours are approximately 1,600 each.

I recently sold my Lagoon 450 with the Multihull Team. I would highly recommend their services. The professionalism and personal treatment I received was greatly appreciated.
Great Service, Great People
Helped me through the process.
I would go through them again in a future purchase.
The Multihull Company made the process of buying our boat easy and predictable. Both our agent (Francisco Montaner) and Andrew Holland communicated well and educated/informed us of each step in the process. I highly recommend The Multihull Company for those shopping for a catamaran!
Chuck at The Multihull Company is the real deal.
He helped us find our Lagoon 40 after genuinely listening to what we needed, not just what he had to sell. He let us visit the boat multiple times, answered every question honestly, and helped us make a confident decision on a major purchase.
What impressed us most was the post-sale support. Once the paperwork was signed, Chuck was still picking up the phone, offering referrals, and helping us work through the early stages of liveaboard life. That kind of follow-through is rare.
If you are looking for a multihull and want someone who knows the boats and actually cares about the outcome, Chuck is the person to call.
We just purchased a 2025 Nautitech 44 Open with The Multihull Company. The process of getting here has been great, and we could not have asked for a better agent. We worked with Conor, whom we met at the 2025 Cannes Boat Show. We started our search for a cruising catamaran in Florida at the beginning of the year. We spent a couple of months looking at different boats/models within our price range and quickly narrowed it down to what really mattered to us, in part thanks to the wealth of knowledge and expertise our broker provided. When we found a perfect match in Montenegro, Conor and The Multihull Company did not hesitate to continue supporting us and to lead the efforts from start to finish with great care and transparency. Communication and support have been outstanding throughout this entire process. Conor, in particular, showed great compassion and care, going above and beyond to ensure that no stone was left unturned and that we would be able to safely and happily sail off into our big adventure.
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.
Advice of any kind is valuable only when grounded in hard-won expertise. It too, must be trustworthy. Trust and expertise define the heart and soul of The Multihull Company. We are a team of skilled professionals who thrive on providing expert, trustworthy advice and service to catamaran and trimaran sailors around the globe.
