About
The benefits of a catamaran are well known, and the PDQ 41 is one of the most highly engineered cruising catamarans available today—accentuating all of those advantages in a proven, no-nonsense design. Shallow draft, low fuel consumption, expansive living spaces, enormous storage capacity, and a remarkably smooth ride in offshore conditions have long made the PDQ 41 a leader among serious cruising yachts.
This particular PDQ 41, FELIX, represents a rare opportunity. The current owner has completed an extensive list of high-quality upgrades but, unfortunately, has not had the time to fully enjoy the boat. As a result, FELIX offers the next owner the best of both worlds: a proven, stand-alone power catamaran platform combined with modern systems, technology, and comforts already in place—ready to cruise immediately.
Already respected for efficiency, comfort, and offshore capability, this PDQ 41 now benefits from significant enhancements in solar generation, lithium power management, electronics, communications, ground tackle, tender handling, and interior comfort. From a fully integrated Victron lithium system and oversized Garmin displays, to upgraded biminis, davits, Starlink connectivity, watermaker, and a brand-new tender package, the heavy lifting has been done.
For the buyer who wants to start cruising—not start upgrading—this PDQ 41 is ready.

The PDQ 41 features the largest owners suite of any 41’ on the market today. The standard queen sized berth lifts up for storage underneath and is located on the same level as the salon with incredible water views. The mattress was replaced in 2018.
As you step down into the starboard hull you find a luxurious changing area with two hanging lockers, four large drawers, and lots of storage cabinets. Moving forward you enter the master head with a Jabsco quiet flush toilet, fresh water head and a stall shower that is large enough for two people. The master suite has its own a/c unit and is well ventilated with two hatches, three opening ports, a Hella fan and two opening aft windows.
The guest quarters are located on the port side. It has a double berth, opening hatch, opening port and a Hella fan. Guest mattress was purchased in 2018 and covered so it presents well if the bunk is not made up. The guest head is located forward of the galley and features a shower, sink and Jabsco Quiet Flush toilet.
The salon custom table also drops down (cushions provided) to make additional sleeping for two. Standard window curtains were replaced with honeycomb shades in all cabins and heads.
Galley
The galley on the PDQ 41 is located in the port hull, down two steps. The galley is open to the salon so that the chef is never out of sight of the entertainment. The Galley features the following :
The galley has enormous volumes of storage and lots of counter space. Even the most demanding chef will be pleased with the layout and functionality.

She also comes with the following additional items:
Overall design
PDQ has developed a reputation for having the most advanced technical design capability in the catamaran industry. This was proven with the incredible efficiency and seaworthiness of the 34. In the design of the 41′, they were able to “scale up” the proven 34 hull design with minor modifications and it has now proven to be as efficient as the 34. With a larger footprint, higher bridgedeck clearance and more displacement, the designers were able to deliver a smoother-riding and quieter yacht that can handle much larger seas comfortably. It is not uncommon to run the 41′ in 5′ seas at 18 knts comfortably.
Owners that enjoy performing maintainance tasks will appreciate the care that has been taken to locate all components in very accessable locations. Owners also appreciate that the hull is laid up with solid fiberglass below the waterline. Closed cell foam coring is only used above the waterline. This translates to a more durable boat, one that can be intentionally beached or anchored somewhere that dries out. Lastly, the running gear is protected by a skeg so running the boat aground will not likely cause any damage. The PDQ uses Marelon seacocks and through hulls and the propeller shafts are bronze so the troublesome corrosion problems that go along with aluminum drive units and metal seacocks is substantially reduced. Bottom line…the 41 is a good offshore design that will not let you down when the going gets tough but also incorporates many features that make it a great long-term live-aboard yacht.
The PDQ41 has an excellent and unusual feature in the engine cooling systems. Each engine has 2 salt water intakes and filters, one on each side of its hulls. A valve lets you select which side you use. So if the intake you are running on becomes clogged, it is a simple matter to move the selector valve to switch to the other side.

A sale well handled. No inflated expectations and an honest opinion throughout. Highly recommended.
Absolutely THE ONLY company to use for buying or selling a catamaran! Our Broker Andrew Hodgdon, was excellent to work with, an experienced catamaran captain with extensive knowledge of sailing catamarans, the ins and outs of the construction, performance, systems, everything involved and life on board catamarans. All of which is invaluable in looking for the right boat for someone to buy or helping market your boat when selling. The Multihull Company is so connected in the catamaran world and used by so many catamaran sailors and searchers that we had an interested buyer before our boat was even listed and a completed sale 60 days after her first showing!!! Thanks Andrew and all of the Multihull team who worked diligently to make it happen so smoothly!
We had a great experience working with Andrew! He was extremely knowledgeable and listened to our needs of what we wanted our next boat to be. He responded quickly to all of our requests and got us to the finish line. Working with Multihull was seamless and we highly recommend using Andrew and Multihull.
Chris Block was our broker. He was great. He went above and beyond what we thought we needed. His expertise helped us get our dream boat for way less than expected. I will use TMC and Chris Block in the future. Definitely recommend.
Chris Rundlett in Grenada was my buyers broker for a catamaran I purchased in Tortola.
The buying process was problematic with numerous mechanical issues needing attention. Throughout the process he was fantastic. I would highly recommend him if you’re looking to buy a boat in the Caribbean.
