About
ELIXIR is among the first Balance 442's to hit the pre-owned market!
This is a rare opportunity to purchase a gorgeous example of the award-winning Balance 442, a modern daggerboard equipped performance catamaran.ELIXIR is in impeccable condition and fully equipped for immediate live aboard sailing.These amazing yachts are built in Cape Town, South Africa and ELIXIR is hull #9 of this coveted high-performance brand.Earlier this year, ELIXIR made her maiden voyage across the southern Atlantic from Cape Town to Grenada.She is now strategically positioned just south of the hurricane belt and ready to jump off for a full season of Caribbean cruising.
The original design premise for the Balance 442 was to create a catamaran that had wonderful sailing characteristics with luxurious and comfortable accommodations but was also set up to be easily operated by a retired couple.Therefore, these performance cruising vessels are equipped with powerful sail plans and daggerboards which allow them to sail circles around the competition while still being easily managed for shorthanded operation.As the name suggests, it is the perfect balance of sporty sailing characteristics and liveaboard comfort.
Balance Catamarans are well known for their stunning designs, exceptional build quality, and gorgeous fit and finish.They feature industry leading technology such as their signature VersaHelm steering system, Integrel charging technology, carbon fiber reinforced daggerboards, Ullman ASDL tri-radial laminate sails, state-of-the-art electronics suites, etc.The build process for these fantastic vessels incorporates Balances Carbon Cross design and construction techniques whichutilizes E-glass fiberglass with significant Carbon Fiber reinforcement in the high load areas of the hulls and decks. Every Balance 442 is hand laminated and vacuum bagged with vinylester outer skin resin over closed cell foam cores.The end result is a lightweight, stiff, and robust vessel built for world voyaging.
ELIXIR has a 3-cabin Owners Version layout that is tastefully appointed with several custom touches, a stunning green exterior hull color, and an extensive list of factory options.She sports all the most modern equipment available for a liveaboard voyager.Several of her equipment highlights include:
ELIXIR is being sold in The Multihull Company Premier Program which ensures the vessels exceptional condition and after-sales support for the new owner. Unfortunately the current owners have experienced a change of circumstances that will not allow them to realize their cruising dreams. But with less than a year of sea time and a few thousand miles under her hulls, ELXIR is very lightly used with all the new boat kinks worked out. She is currently hauled out in Grenada and in turn key condition!A buyer could splash her the day after closing and head off into the sunset.
ELIXIR is available for in-person showings by appointment.
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.
