About

Major Price Reduction - Outstanding Value
The seller has announced a significant $100,000 price reduction, bringing UNIVERSE's asking price from $799,000 down to $699,000. This bold adjustment makes UNIVERSE one of the most attractively priced performance cruising catamarans on the market today.

This is a serious and motivated offering, reflecting the owner's strong commitment to ensuring a timely sale and delivering exceptional value to the next owner.

A Rare High-Performance Cruiser

UNIVERSE is a 53ft Schionning G-FORCE 1500C, custom-built and continuously upgraded to deliver elite bluewater performance without sacrificing comfort. Designed for sailors who value speed, agility, and efficient long-range cruising, she has been meticulously refined into a turn-key performance machine.

The current owners purchased UNIVERSE in 2019 and spent a season exploring the BVI and Caribbean. In 2020, she arrived in Fort Lauderdale, where an extensive program of engineering, weight optimization, and premium upgrades transformed her into one of the finest Schionnings afloat.

Built for Speed & Efficiency

Every enhancement was made with precision and purpose:

  • Hull extensions for superior hydrodynamics
  • Strategic weight management for optimal lightness
  • Carbon fiber beams and davits for strength without added weight
Built in the Netherlands by PreCat VOF, her Airex foam-core fiberglass hulls are vacuum-infused with epoxy for maximum strength and minimal weight. At her most recent haulout, she registered only 8.4 metric tons, significantly lighter than most comparable boats.

Premium Upgrades
  • 2023 North Sails 3Di Endurance Inventory - High-performance mainsail, genoa, and staysail
  • B&G Navigation Suite & H5000 Autopilot - Advanced sailing intelligence for shorthanded or solo sailing
  • Victron Lithium-Ion Battery Bank & 2.2kW Solar - Full off-grid power capability
  • Mabru 12V DC Air-Conditioning - Highly efficient, even off-grid
  • 2024 Aqua-Base Watermaker - 17 gallons/hour with auto-flush
Turn-Key, Adventure-Ready

Whether racing offshore or cruising tropical waters, UNIVERSE is optimized for shorthanded handling and thrilling yet safe passages. With her new $699,000 price, she represents exceptional value and a rare opportunity to own a truly elite, custom-tailored Schionning G-FORCE 1500C.

We take pride in our happy customers

It’s been a few weeks now and the dust has settled. We had a great experience with the Multihull Company and in particular our broker, Caroline Laviolette. Caroline was happy to share her knowledge of the market and the catamarans we were interested in purchasing. She was patient and thorough as we looked at several boats in SE Florida, helped us narrow our search and eventually purchase a beautiful 2017 Lagoon 42. Many thanks to the team at The Multihull Company!

— Carl Anderson

We had a great experience purchasing our boat with Will Miller as a buyers agent. Purchasing our first large Cat is a daunting experience and Will was able to walk us through the process with ease. Will was very straight forward and constantly gave us honest feedback as well as finding and pointing out details on all the boats that we may not have noticed or thought about.

We had a great experience and would use them again.

I would specifically recommend a buyers agent when purchasing to help weed through a lot of problems and misrepresented boats on the market.

— Anthony Nappa

We have had great experiences with the Multihull company. We both sold our old boat through them, and bought our new boat through them. I have to say that Will Miller is top-notch, and Riley was great as our broker for selling our O day 39. when you buy a Salt or Boat through them, I feel like you are not only clients, but you are friends. The lines of communication were always open and we were always informed of everything going on.

— Gwayne

Riley, and the entire staff at The Multihull Company, were incredibly helpful and responsive in helping me find and purchase my catamaran. I was a first time purchaser and had many questions about the process and Riley was very responsive in answering those questions. I would recommend The Multihull Company to anyone in the market to purchase or sell their boat.

— Keith Sartori

Great sales agent, Dunbar Lewis!

— Mark Miesse
