About
Welcome aboard GILLI GIRL, a privately owned, never chartered 2022 Knysna 500SE 3 cabin Owners Version, and easily one of the most elegant and well maintained 50 foot cruising catamarans to hit the market in years.
Originally delivered from the shipyard in South Africa, GILLI GIRL sailed across the Atlantic on her own bottom, cruising through the Caribbean and along the U.S. East Coast up to New York. Since then, she has seasonally sailed between the U.S. Northeast and The Florida Keys, stopping at various destinations in between, and logging thousands of miles along the way. Yet when you step aboard GILLI GIRL, a catamaran showcased at both the 2023 and 2024 Annapolis Sailboat Shows, she presents with a level of care and finish that feels remarkably like a brand new boat; a direct reflection of the owner’s disciplined maintenance and attention to detail since the day she was delivered.
While her sailing resume and Knysna Yacht Company's pedigree clearly establish her bluewater credibility, her systems and equipment reinforce it. A substantial 24V lithium battery bank, expansive solar array, complete sail inventory, and premium deck hardware and construction, reflect a luxury catamaran equipped to sail safely and comfortably anywhere in the world, with confidence.
Step inside and the difference becomes even more apparent. GILLI GIRL’s professionally curated interior sets her apart from the rest of the fleet. High end galley appliances, thoughtfully selected finishes, and a cohesive aesthetic extend throughout the vessel, down to the designer tableware, linens, and flooring. The result is a turnkey luxury catamaran that feels intentionally designed rather than just simply outfitted.
GILLI GIRL is conveniently located just 20 minutes from The Palm Beach International Airport, and can be shown by appointment.
Below are just a few of GILLI GIRL’s most notable features:

I chose Zee (Zvonimir Kalinic) after posting an ad for a broker on Yacht Sales from about 15 other brokers because he showed professionalism and care right away compared to the others. Most of the brokers never intended to show people my boat but yet somehow expected to collect commission. Zee met me in Novigrad and spent 3 hours taking photos and drone footage and throughout the listing period was communicating continuously and advising me about any offers that came through. His service was at a high standard that I was extremely happy with and felt comfortable at all times especially since I’m in Sydney and my boat is in Montenegro. I can’t recommend Zee highly enough to anyone looking to sell their boat with peace of mind.
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.
