From Mono to Multihull

Story by Andrew Holland / November 20, 2024

TMC Broker, Paco Montaner, assists clients in transitioning from monohull life to sailing a catamaran in the Caribbean.

The greatest part of working in the yachting industry is witnessing the dreams become a reality for our clients. Watching a family give new life to a multihull through their exotic adventures is a thrill like no other. Our client feature this week comes to you from the Caribbean, aboard the newly purchased 2019 Leopard 40 “Mahvic IV”.

TMC Broker, Captain Paco Montaner, has been working with clients Luis and Stefi through their experience of transitioning from monohull to catamaran life. The couple embarked on an incredible journey, leaving the coast of Spain aboard their Hanse 445 with a dream to circumnavigate the globe. Their adventure took them across the Atlantic, where they crossed paths with broker Paco Montaner at TMC’s Puerto Rico office.

It was then that Paco helped them find the perfect vessel to continue their voyage: a beautiful Leopard 40. With Paco’s expertise, Luis and Stefi soon became the proud new owners of this incredible multihull, ready to set sail on new horizons. Paco has now listed their beloved Hanse 445 “Zinic”, a boat that has carried them far—and one that could be your next adventure.

They are pictured here bidding farewell to their Hanse 445 and hopping aboard their new Leopard 40 to continue on their sailing journey. 

At The Multihull Company, we are sailors helping sailors, driven by a passion to match people with the perfect boat for their dreams. For Luis and Stefi, the Leopard 40 offers more space, improved handling, and enhanced off-grid livability—everything they need to make their journey even more fulfilling.

While their Hanse 445 served them well, the transition to a multihull has opened up a new world of comfort, stability, and adventure. The elegance and practicality of multihulls continue to win the hearts of sailors, offering a lifestyle that’s as much about freedom as it is about the joy of the open water.

Congratulations to Luis and Stephanie! Team TMC wishes you fair winds and smooth seas as you head back into blue waters with a boat that perfectly fits your adventurous lifestyle.

We had a great purchasing experience with The Multihull Company. Got us into the boat we really wanted, our broker Josie was amazing, she walked us through the entire process, negotiated the deal we wanted and gave us great advice throughout. If you are looking to purchase a boat we can’t recommend them enough.

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!

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.
