Confident Purchases Start Here.

You’ve found the catamaran you dream of owning. Now, gain the absolute confidence to handle it.

The Multihull Company’s Train and Try Before You Buy Program is your bridge from prospective buyer to skilled captain. In partnership with elite sailing schools and charter bases, we offer hands-on training and trials tailored specifically for multihulls—ideally, on the very model you intend to buy.

Why “Train Before You Buy?

Handling a 45-foot catamaran is vastly different from a monohull. Our program is designed to build mastery and confidence in the key areas where catamarans excel, and where they require unique skills.

  • Upgrading from a Monohull? Master twin-engine maneuvering, close-quarters docking, and anchoring with a wide beam.
  • New to Sailing? Build a strong foundation of sailing fundamentals on the exact platform you’ll be owning.
  • Bringing a Partner Aboard? This is the perfect way to get you and your co-captain comfortable and working together, ensuring you’re both ready for the adventure ahead.

This isn’t a generic sailing class. This is targeted training for your future as a catamaran owner.

Why “Try Before You Buy?

This is the smartest, most risk-free way to buy a boat. If you proceed with a purchase, your “research” vacation was  effectively free. If you decide against it, you’ve still had an incredible sailing trip and gained invaluable knowledge for your ongoing search.

  • Total Confidence: Make the biggest purchase of your life with zero doubt.
  • Go Beyond the Brochure: Gain real-world experience that no spec sheet or video can provide.
  • Test the Lifestyle: This is the ultimate test for you, your partner, and your family to ensure the boat truly fits your dreams.
  • A Seamless Experience: We only work with the industry’s most reputable charter partners, ensuring a premium vessel and a flawless experience.

Your Training Cost is an Investment, Not an Expense

We are so confident this training will empower your purchase decision that we’ve made it a risk-free investment.

Train and Sail Today. Get It Credited Tomorrow.

When you move forward and purchase any new vessel from The Multihull Company, we will credit the full cost of your sail training or charter off the final purchase price of your boat.

Your education or charter is on us.

We take pride in our happy customers

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.

Our broker Mike Rybas was excellent – great experience!

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.

— Gustavo Machado

The multihull company, specifically Andrew Hodgson worked with me in the sale of Gods Grace, a 50’ Voyage 500. They made sure that as many people as possible touched it, laid hands on it, ultimately resulting in a offer and sale and was extremely helpful in the prep and sale process as I did not live locally… If you want to make sure that people actually see your vessel, will be honest and truly assist you in the sale, Andrew is the man for the job.
