S/V Carpe Ventum is a Puerto Velero based 2002 Voyage 440
The Voyage 440 is a proven bluewater platform winner of Cruising Worlds Boat of the Year 2002 and Best Cruising Multihull 2002, and the first multihull to win the overall sailboat of the year award. Judges praised the model for its exceptional blend of performance, build quality and attention to detail, qualities that established the 20012004 owners versions as a benchmark for production cruising cats. Most examples have seen only one or two owners since new, evidence of their longevity and desirability.
This particular Voyage 440 is a true oceangoing, liveaboard catamaran presented in excellent condition and ready for immediate cruising. The wide beam delivers generous interior volume and comfortable separation of accommodations. The practical, fully equipped galley-up layout supports easy provisioning, meal preparation and socializing while underway or at anchor. The three-cabin owners configuration offers three queensized berths, providing spacious private cabins ideally suited for family or extended cruising crew. The solid construction and quality joinery are evident throughout the fit and finish consistently impress visitors, who often assume the boat is much newer than it is. Built to last, this Voyage will outlive many more recent production boats constructed to lower standards. If you are seeking a seaworthy, comfortable and well-engineered bluewater catamaran with a pedigree for offshore passagemaking, this Voyage 440 is an exceptional candidate for your next adventure.

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