Story by Paco Montaner / November 20, 2024
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.

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!
Chuck at The Multihull Company is the real deal.
He helped us find our Lagoon 40 after genuinely listening to what we needed, not just what he had to sell. He let us visit the boat multiple times, answered every question honestly, and helped us make a confident decision on a major purchase.
What impressed us most was the post-sale support. Once the paperwork was signed, Chuck was still picking up the phone, offering referrals, and helping us work through the early stages of liveaboard life. That kind of follow-through is rare.
If you are looking for a multihull and want someone who knows the boats and actually cares about the outcome, Chuck is the person to call.
We just purchased a 2025 Nautitech 44 Open with The Multihull Company. The process of getting here has been great, and we could not have asked for a better agent. We worked with Conor, whom we met at the 2025 Cannes Boat Show. We started our search for a cruising catamaran in Florida at the beginning of the year. We spent a couple of months looking at different boats/models within our price range and quickly narrowed it down to what really mattered to us, in part thanks to the wealth of knowledge and expertise our broker provided. When we found a perfect match in Montenegro, Conor and The Multihull Company did not hesitate to continue supporting us and to lead the efforts from start to finish with great care and transparency. Communication and support have been outstanding throughout this entire process. Conor, in particular, showed great compassion and care, going above and beyond to ensure that no stone was left unturned and that we would be able to safely and happily sail off into our big adventure.
A sale well handled. No inflated expectations and an honest opinion throughout. Highly recommended.
Successful relationships cannot exist without it. At The Multihull Company we base every relationship on a firm commitment to earning and retaining our client’s trust.
Advice of any kind is valuable only when grounded in hard-won expertise. It too, must be trustworthy. Trust and expertise define the heart and soul of The Multihull Company. We are a team of skilled professionals who thrive on providing expert, trustworthy advice and service to catamaran and trimaran sailors around the globe.
