No serious buyer of a multihull will have any problem finding TMC’s listings online. They are posted on the most popular yacht search sites in the world, including Yachtworld.com, boats.com, Rightboat.com, CatamaransForSale.com and over eight other popular search sites around the globe. It’s TMC’s own website, however, that is the real draw to potential buyers. TMC’s site is full of quality information, HD pictures and videos, and customer friendly information to help multihull sailors.
Our site does not require registration and as a result is considered one of the most trafficked and “stickiest” catamaran and multihull website in the world – we not only get a lot of visitors, but our visitors spend more time on our site than any other. Our site is the premier website for accessing highly qualified buyers when you are selling your catamaran.
Along with our own website, TMC invests in featured placement and enhanced advertisements on Yachtworld, Boats.com, and other major MLS search sites so that a TMC listing stands out from the rest.
The Multihull Company invests in the highest quality marketing materials available in the industry for its exclusively listed vessels. Featuring HD Photography and 4k Videography performed by a leading team of professionals, listing your catamaran with The Multihull Company brings a higher level of quality and professionalism that other brokerages simply do not invest in.
Print advertising is costly, but research has shown it works by not only bringing listings to the attention of qualified buyers, but by establishing confidence in TMC’s brand with international buyers and sellers. TMC runs extensive advertisements in Cruising World, Multihull Quarterly, SAIL Magazine, All At Sea, Multihulls World, Multicoques (French Version) Magazines, and Blue Water Sailing.
To thrive in the international multihull marketplace, where contracts are made in many different currencies, TMC has established multi-currency escrow accounts with Synovus and Bank of America to serve clients from around the world. TMC holds dedicated escrow account for most major currencies and can easily handle conversion of funds for clients which can greatly ease the purchasing process for Australians, Euro-zone buyers, British, Canadian and even American buyers along the way. Because TMC is a large company, well established, licensed and bonded, foreign buyers are comfortable escrowing deposits in our accounts easing the way for a sale that would never occur with a small, unlicensed brokerage company. TMC also works with a range of lenders that are prepared to lend to qualified buyers in just about any location around the world.

TMC lists each and every yacht it sells as being “available for co-brokerage” which means that it can be purchased by any buyer who is represented by a professional yacht broker anywhere in the world. At TMC, we recognize that the most important thing for our clients is that the yacht sells. At TMC, the brokers are Old School – buying from others, and allowing others to buy from them, is the way to fairly and ethically deal with worldwide deal making.
TMC also allows for all of its exclusively listed catamarans for sale to be listed on our competitors websites. Which means that when you are listing with TMC, you are also getting prime placements on other yacht brokerage websites. We realize that buyers are shopping all over, and it is in our seller’s interest to have their boat featured not only our site, but on our competitions sites as well.
TMC assists with purchases and sales around the world. That expertise allows us to provide sellers with a very accurate picture of what the market price of their yacht should be in its current condition. That is perhaps the most important thing the brokers do at The Multihull Company. A seller never wants to price his yacht too low, but he does not want to risk overpricing either. The risks of overpricing are real and can be felt in depreciation, dockage and maintenance fees as well as insurance until it sells. At The Multihull Company the peerless advantage the firm has is being able to counsel both buyers and sellers on current market values so they can either make offers with confidence, or accept offers with confidence. Because TMC buys and sells multihulls exclusively, and has been in business for over 20+ years, clients can recognize and trust the expertise and the data behind the pricing recommendations.
At TMC, the pledge to provide service and support to its clients extends beyond the waters of the United States. The Multihull Company relies on a trusted network of global partners, contacts and associations to serve its client’s needs. Whether that means setting up a survey in Fiji, a haul-out in Marmaris, or a yacht inspection by one of its agents in the South of France, TMC does what is needed to assist buyers and sellers. In addition, TMC is able to offer a range of storage, haul, docking, and refit services in the Caribbean, Europe, North America and elsewhere in the world.
TMC regularly participates in a range of boat shows around the world, including the Annapolis Boat Show, the Miami Boat Show, Cannes Boat Show, Dusseldorf Boat Show, and, most recently, the La Grande Motte Boat Show. Buyers and sellers alike are familiar with TMC’s bright red tent and its staff who stand ready to discuss the sale or purchase of a multihull.
Print advertising is costly, but research has shown it works by not only bringing listings to the attention of qualified buyers, but by establishing confidence in TMC’s brand with international buyers and sellers. TMC runs extensive advertisements in Cruising World, Multihull Quarterly, Latitude 38, 48 North, All At Sea, Multihulls World, Multicoques (French Version) magazines, and Turkish Yachting.
Our team’s valuation process includes not only a recent list of sold yachts of the same vintage and model, but expert analysis of the yacht’s value based on factors that cannot be taken into account when examining recent sold data, such as her configuration, her current location, her cosmetics, damage history, and overall current supply/demand equation for similar models around the globe.
To thrive in the international multihull marketplace, where contracts are made in many different currencies, TMC has established multi-currency escrow accounts with Smith Barney and Citibank, leading U.S. financial institutions.

Because TMC sells voyaging yachts, they end up all over the world in ports large and small. What this means practically for a buyer is that The Multihull Company may have a catamaran listed for sale in the South Pacific, or in Asia, or Europe at any given time. For this reason, TMC lists each and every yacht it sells as being “available for co-brokerage” which means that it can be purchased by any buyer who is represented by a professional yacht broker anywhere in the world. At TMC, we recognize that the most important thing for our clients is that the yacht sells.

At the end of the day, success for the seller is all about the broker. There are plenty of examples of large marketing budgets spent in service of failing enterprises. Anyone who has spent time in the yachting industry knows that good brokers sell boats, weak brokers a few, and down from there. A good broker earns the loyalty and respect of both buyers and sellers while a weak broker is simply unable to engender the trust required to bring parties together to close a sale. At TMC, we have assembled the most highly educated, well trained, ethical and skillful team of yacht brokers in the multihull industry.
Your team delivered on every mark. You’ve got an amazing broker in Mark Wattrus and I’m confident you will have continued success moving forward together. He was available 24/7 whenever I had questions. We had a great initial visit on the boat and his marketing plan and photos were superb
I bought a yacht that I had never seen. I did this because I trusted my broker Andrew Holland. It was not an easy job for Andrew, as I am an experienced boat builder and owner of previous yachts, but work in West Africa. Imagine how hard it was to communicate what I was looking for. Andrew came up with exactly what I wanted. He dealt with time delays, all my questions at odd hours, and was there for the survey. He reported honestly and professionally. After buying the yacht, I arrived at the boat on a Sunday night, after dark, after travelling from West Africa to the Caribbean, and found it was better than expected. He never pulled punches and made me aware of shortfalls. I expected to spend my one month leave working on the boat, but actually spent less than one week, and was able to spend 3 weeks sailing – wonderful bonus.
Thank you Andrew for putting up with all my questions, all my worries and all my crazy out of the time zone concerns – you were totally professional, but also I know that if and when we meet up, it will be like a friend finally meeting. You are always welcome on Aseka.
Outstanding company with professional subject matter experts. If I were to buy or sell cruising sailboat, particularly a catamaran, Andrew would be my go to broker.
I have been sailing since I was a child and attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy. But when my wife and I began the process of purchasing an ocean cruising/racing catamaran, I realized that this is a world unto itself. Obviously, we needed to find someone knowledgeable to help us make an informed decision. More importantly, we needed someone honest and willing to put our interests before his or her own. I was lucky to work with Phil Berman at The Multihull Company. He repeatedly shunned the fast buck, choosing instead to work the long road to connect us with the “perfect boat”. I would be glad to recommend Phil and his company to anyone planning to purchase or sell a performance sailing machine.
Andrew Hodgdon was our broker when we bought our 2018 Lagoon 450F in Antigua in April 2922. He provided great service and was very attentive to our needs. We would highly recommend Andrew and the Multihull Company.
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.
