Building a new catamaran is the ultimate expression of your sailing dreams. It’s a chance to create a vessel perfectly tailored to your vision, your family, and your adventures.
But the path from a blank page to a successful launch is filled challenges and important decisions along the way.
Without an expert on your side, you are navigating this multi-million dollar investment alone.
The Multihull Company’s New Build Consultation service bridges the gap. We become your dedicated Owner’s Representative—your personal expert, advocate, and project manager.
Our only allegiance is to you.
We leverage decades of technical expertise, market knowledge, and shipyard relationships to protect your interests, mitigate risk, and transform your vision into a reality.
Our consultation is not a one-size-fits-all product. We provide a tailored partnership that covers the entire lifecycle of your build.
1. Vision & Concept Definition We start by listening. We help you refine your mission, whether it’s global circumnavigation, high-performance cruising, or placing a vessel into charter. We analyze the market offerings to find the perfect fit for your goals and budget.
2. Shipyard Selection & Vetting Don’t rely on marketing brochures. We provide new build consultations and provide real world experience across our range of new boat offerings and our direct first hand experience with each manufacturer.
3. Contract & Specification Review This is where the most value is gained and the most risk is avoided. Our team meticulously reviews contracts, standard specifications and secondary options with each new boat ordered. We identify ambitions and offer direct first hand experience with best options to be chosen along your build process based on your specific needs, and the options offered by the Manufacturer. We will protect you from unfavorable clauses, and ensure every critical detail—from engine selection to the color of fabrics—is clearly defined.
4. Build Oversight & Quality Control We act as your eyes and ears on the factory floor. We can perform regular on-site inspections, provide detailed photographic progress reports, and participate in project management calls.
5. Commissioning, Sea Trials & Handover The final 10% is critical. We manage the final acceptance, commissioning, and sea trial process. We create the definitive “punch list” and ensure every item is rectified by the shipyard before you take final delivery.
6. Post-Launch Support Our relationship doesn’t end at the dock. We remain your advocate, assisting with warranty claims, operational setup, and advising on vessel management to protect your asset.

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.
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.
