About
SeaLife is one of the very first Balance 482 to hit the pre-owned market!
This is a rare opportunity to purchase a gorgeous example of the award-winning Balance 482 catamaran.SeaLife is fully equipped and ready to go sailing today.She was originally launched in Cape Town, South Africa in June 2022 and is hull #5 of this coveted high-performance brand.Sealife has recently returned to the US after an exciting season of cruising the Bahamas and has just received her annual regular off-season maintenance.Her owner has positioned Sealife in beautiful St Augustine, FL for ease of showings and sale.
The original design premise for the Balance 482 was to create a catamaran that had wonderful sailing characteristics with luxurious and comfortable accommodations but was set up to still 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 perfectbalanceof 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 482 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.
SeaLife has a 3-cabin Owners Version layout that is tastefully appointed with several custom touches, a stunning baby blue exterior hull color, and an extensive list of factory and after-market options.She sports all the most modern equipment available for a liveaboard voyager.Several of her equipment highlights include:
SeaLife is U.S. Duty Paid and in turn key condition!A buyer could load her up the day after closing and head for the South Pacific without a second thought.SeaLife is located in St Augustine, FL and available for showings by appointment.

Dear Cynthia and Andrew,
I wanted to extend my sincere thanks to both of you and The Multihull Company team for the outstanding job you did in successfully closing the sale of our Excess 14. Despite the challenging environment — including new import tariffs and unique buyer requirements — you navigated everything with professionalism, perseverance, and efficiency.
The transaction was completed smoothly and in good time, which is a true credit to your dedication and expertise. Very well done.
Thank you again, and I wish you all the very best.
Warm regards,
Jurgen
We had an outstanding experience working with Andrew Hodgdon. From the very beginning, he demonstrated deep knowledge of the catamaran we were considering and took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. He found us the perfect vessel that matched our needs and budget and negotiated a fantastic deal on our behalf.
What truly set him apart was he responsiveness—every question we had was answered promptly and thoroughly, and he guided us through the entire process with professionalism and care. We couldn’t be happier with the service and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated yacht broker.
Awesome company that worked as my brokerage on purchasing out FP catamaran. A special shoutout to Will Miller for walking us through the process
The process of selling our boat was made very smooth by the Multihull Company and Andrew Hodgdon in particular. Andrew helped us navigate the selling process including moving our boat from Grenada to Florida to execute the sale. We would recommend working with this company, and Andrew Hodgdon in particular, without hesitation.
Very smooth process. Chuck was great and very knowledgeable about the whole process. Im happy to have had TMC to take care of all the things i didnt know about.
