The Multihull Company is proud to share a landmark announcement from the shipyard in Les Sables-d’Olonne. In a move that reinforces the “No Compromise” philosophy that has defined the brand for over 40 years, Privilège has become the first multihull shipyard in the world to make SEA.AI standard equipment across its entire range of blue-water catamarans.
At The Multihull Company, we have always maintained that a yacht is more than a vessel; it is a human commitment to safety and serenity. This new partnership with SEA.AI is the perfect embodiment of that belief.
While traditional navigation systems like Radar and AIS are essential, they have long had a “blind spot”: unidentified floating objects (UFOs), containers, debris, and even whales. For the serious offshore sailor, these represent the greatest anxiety during night passages or short-handed sailing.
By integrating SEA.AI as a core feature, every new Privilège—from the Signature 510 to the flagship 650—now comes equipped with an “intelligent eagle eye” at the masthead. Using high-resolution thermal and optical cameras combined with advanced AI algorithms, the system provides:
“SEA.AI naturally strengthens Privilège Marine’s long-standing philosophy: creating yachts that combine ocean-proven robustness, absolute safety, and bespoke comfort,” says Antoine Maillot, CEO of Privilège Marine.
For our clients at TMC, this isn’t just a technical upgrade—it’s peace of mind. Many of the sailors we work with are couples or families embarking on global circumnavigations. They demand technology that is “mastered”—proven, reliable, and genuinely useful. After seeing the high uptake of SEA.AI as an optional add-on, the decision to make it standard was a natural evolution of Privilège’s commitment to its owners.
This integration sets a new benchmark for what sailors should expect from a luxury blue-water yacht. It bridges the gap between traditional French naval haute couture and the cutting-edge digital intelligence required for modern ocean crossing.
As your bridge to the world of Privilège, The Multihull Company is here to guide you through these latest innovations. Whether you are planning a crossing or a quiet season in the islands, you can now do so with a level of vigilance that was once the stuff of science fiction.

I recently sold my Lagoon 450 with the Multihull Team. I would highly recommend their services. The professionalism and personal treatment I received was greatly appreciated.
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.
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.
