Located on the border between the French and Dutch side of the Island, The Multihull Company St. Martin in Oyster Pond is the ideal location for TMC clients to visit as the picturesque harbor provides great protection from the choppy Atlantic Ocean waters. Unquestionably this location is one of the best places in the world to list a catamaran for sale, or to haul, survey or maintain a catamaran as there are abundant marine services on the island.
The Multihull Company’s most active broker in St. Martin is Alexis de Boucaud, who splits his time between the TMC Fort Lauderdale office and his second home in St. Martin. Fluent in both English and French and the former director of Nautor’s Swan Charters on the island, Alexis has been listing and brokering yacht sales in St. Martin for over 15 years and brings experience and knowledge that is unmatched by other brokers on the islands. His ability to speak and write both French and English, and his deep understanding of the details of French yacht documentation and laws are invaluable to The Multihull Company’s many international buyers and sellers.
Alexis grew up racing dinghies in the waters of Brittany, France. He immigrated to the United States as a young man and developed his interest in offshore cruising and racing in New England and the Bahamas. He was educated in the United States and has since worked in the U.S., Europe and the Caribbean. Alexis began his professional yachting career as a charter captain sailing the storied seas of French Polynesia on a Fountaine Pajot Marquises 57 catamaran. There he developed a talent for sharing and communicating his love for blue water sailing to his worldly guests. More recently, Alexis spent ten years managing Nautor’s Swan Charters, a high-end charter company with over fifty Swans based in the Caribbean, New England and the Mediterranean. While at Nautor’s Swan, Alexis coordinated sales of new yachts through the French defiscalisation program. He later instituted a successful yacht sales and management program to develop the fleet in non-French territories. During this period of his career Alexis gained valuable experience in the multifaceted world of yacht sales and brokerage in the United States, Europe and the Caribbean. Alexis has worked with The Multihull Company since its earliest days working alongside founder Phil Berman to help serve customers around the world for over ten years.
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.
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.
Riley, and the entire staff at The Multihull Company, were incredibly helpful and responsive in helping me find and purchase my catamaran. I was a first time purchaser and had many questions about the process and Riley was very responsive in answering those questions. I would recommend The Multihull Company to anyone in the market to purchase or sell their boat.
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.
