The Multihull Company is thrilled to unveil the new Tao 452, an exciting addition to the world of blue-water performance cruising catamarans. Meticulously engineered and crafted to perfection, the Tao 452 is set to redefine the catamaran experience for sailors worldwide.
If you’ve been left wanting more from the sailing performance of current production charter catamarans or have been unimpressed by the confined and unwelcoming living spaces of racing vessels, the Tao 452 is your answer. It has been expertly crafted to achieve the perfect equilibrium between on-anchor comfort and on-water performance. She’s swift, robust, secure, incredibly comfortable for extended stays, user-friendly to operate, and straightforward to maintain.
The Tao 452 represents the evolution of Hill’s earlier 421 design, which later became the Balance 451. With a slimmer hull fineness ratio, extended and sleeker bows and sterns, and the addition of dual high aspect ratio daggerboards alongside two shallow fixed mini-keels guarding her rudders and sail drives. She is engineered to be the swiftest yet most spacious and luxurious mid-sized performance production catamaran available today.
The quality of the Tao 452 exudes yacht-grade excellence in every aspect and becomes evident the moment you step inside our factory or inspect one of our yachts at an upcoming boat show. For those who harbor a genuine passion for sailing, for those who revel in the art of mastering all points of sail, and for those who seek unwavering reliability, even in the most adverse weather conditionsβthe Tao 452 is unequivocally your vessel of choice.

I chose Zee (Zvonimir Kalinic) after posting an ad for a broker on Yacht Sales from about 15 other brokers because he showed professionalism and care right away compared to the others. Most of the brokers never intended to show people my boat but yet somehow expected to collect commission. Zee met me in Novigrad and spent 3 hours taking photos and drone footage and throughout the listing period was communicating continuously and advising me about any offers that came through. His service was at a high standard that I was extremely happy with and felt comfortable at all times especially since Iβm in Sydney and my boat is in Montenegro. I canβt recommend Zee highly enough to anyone looking to sell their boat with peace of mind.
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 β especially important as I was unable to be nearby during the sale process. Andrewβs 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!
