About

Bright Side is a  "Maestro" owner version, 3 cabin, 3 head Saona with very light use, some important upgrades and excellent maintenance. Sailed only locally, in private use, never chartered. 

The deck, helm and cockpit layout is innovative, effective and widely imitated because the helm has unrestricted sightlines, the cockpit dining is spacious, the lounge areas are luxurious, and movement around all three is easy. 

She can be well sailed and maneuvered by one or two people, but the defining character of this boat is lifestyle: the galley is built for someone who loves to cook, and the owner suite is extraordinary. 

As she sits, you can quickly add your personal touch for live aboard style, or add a few cruising essentials and head for the horizon.

Standout Features

The mid-level helm position has great visibility like a flybridge, for maneuvering and sail trim, but in 3 steps up to the lounge level, the boom is waist high, for easy access to the main and Ladybug. 

The fantastic galley has 4 burners, copious counter top and island work space in solid surface, drawer style fridges and freezers and overhead skylights for a view of the main, the jib, the moon and stars.

Closed in the owner suite, you could mistake it for a private rail car; queen bed, dressing table, cabinets and shelves and an enclosed head with shower big enough to scrub 3 kids and a Great Dane. Or hose and dry several wet foulies!

We take pride in our happy customers

We had an outstanding experience working with Andrew Hodgdon to find our dream boat, an Outremer 52.

We were actually referred to him by several different people—clients who had been very happy working with him, as well as boat owners who were planning to use him to sell their own boats. After working with Andrew ourselves, we completely understand why he came so highly recommended.

We worked with him for several months, and from start to finish, he was exceptional. Andrew is incredibly knowledgeable and truly an expert when it comes to performance catamarans. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, was always responsive and organized, and never made us feel pressured throughout the process.

Andrew went above and beyond to arrange showings for us in multiple states and even traveled to another state to be there with us for the sea trial. His expertise and guidance gave us tremendous confidence as we evaluated such a significant purchase.

The entire process could have been overwhelming, but he made it remarkably smooth. He was on top of every detail and made the paperwork and closing process easy, working seamlessly with his team at The Multihull Company.

What impressed us most was that he genuinely had our best interests in mind. And his support didn’t end when the sale was completed. He has continued to stay in touch and has made it clear that he is still available to help us if we ever need him. That kind of follow-through is rare and speaks volumes about the kind of broker he is.

Buying an Outremer 52 was a huge decision and a major investment, and having someone with his knowledge, experience, responsiveness, and integrity made the entire experience so much easier and more enjoyable.

We couldn’t recommend Andrew Hodgdon more highly. If you’re looking for a yacht broker—especially if you’re considering a performance catamaran—we would choose him again without hesitation. The fact that so many people recommended him to us was the reason we called him, and after working with him, we would be one of those people recommending him to others.

— Dana Mulay

I highly recommend Andrew Hodgdon. He served as our buyers broker. He is responsive, highly knowledgeable and very experienced. He is also an excellent guide and counselor before, during and after the boat purchase process. If you are looking for a good-sailing cat, he seems to collect most of the available boats on the better-sailing side of the market. Top marks.

— Chris Duckworth

Andrew did an excellent job getting me started on my new adventures. Worked with my conflicting schedule. Is very knowledgeable in the catamaran industry. 😎

— Corbin Massey

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.

— Derek Schroeder

Helped me through the process.
I would go through them again in a future purchase.
