We take pride in our happy customers

After three hurricanes in two years hitting our Florida Gulf Coast, I made the right decision to engage Josie Tucci for help in selling my older catamaran. She was meticulous with the description in the listing and brutally honest in what I could expect from the sale! She kept me informed during the process, attended the numerous haul outs, and was instrumental in the final negotiations while keeping my priorities at the forefront.  If you have the opportunity to enlist her help, I highly recommend her.

Zvonimir heard that my vessel was back on the market and reached out to see what was going on. Nothing wrong with the boat! He put me in touch with Charles and we got her sold. Thanks for all the support and making it happen TMC!

— Chris Reuter

Chuck was amazing throughout the entire process. Not sure how we could have navigated this without him and the Multihull team!

— Tim Brooks

It gets no better than The Multihull Company. I’ve watched their great videos for years. When it was time to sell my catamaran, there were no other brokerages in consideration. THEY ARE THE CATAMARAN MARKET LEADERS!! Captain Will Miller has taken the company to the top level. They had an interested buyer prior to my listing going live. I was under contract the first week. The Multihull Company is an impressive organization.

— Roger Davis

Was a pleasure working with Andrew Hodgdon as buyers agent for our recent multihull purchase. Very knowledgeable of this space and for sure my first call buying or selling a yacht.
