About
Rattlesnake is a fabulous example of why Prout catamarans are legendary in the boating world and includes several upgrades for off-grid, full-time living aboard.
This Prout 45s is the perfect blend of seaworthiness, comfort, and ease of handling, making it an ideal choice for a full-time liveaboard and short-handed sailors looking for a proven bluewater cruiser. Designed by the renowned Prout family, this sturdy and well-balanced catamaran is built for long-range voyaging, whether youre setting off on an ocean crossing or enjoying a relaxed coastal cruise.
Rattlesnake is a 3-cabin owner's version layout, never chartered, fully equipped for off-grid, full-time liveaboard. Youll immediately notice the abundant space, the interior wood finishes, and easy access to many great amenities when you first step aboard. The interior is paneled with wood throughout, and the flooring has half-inch high-density foam beneath, all great for noise reduction and efficient climate control.
In 2021, Rattlesnake underwent several highly sought-after customizations, including:
Rerouting of running rigging for easy single-handed sailing
Three IsoTherm refrigerators with freezer (2021)
Custom hardwood Costa Rican slab countertop (2021)

I cannot speak too highly of Andrew Hodgdon and his colleagues at the Multihull Company.
The process of selling my boat was very smooth and well managed and with excellent communication – especially important as I was unable to be nearby during the sale process. Andrew’s deep knowledge of the market and my boat was very reassuring. We spoke regularly and he kept me closely advised all the way through to a happy sale. I found him a good guy, very helpful, willing to share and bounce ideas around, and I enjoyed working with him. Highly recommended!
Andrew Hodgdon and The Multihull Company are really professional! I just closed a deal with them, and everything was pretty smooth. Andrew was punctual, showed a lot of expertise, and he was honest about all the problems with the boat. He is also giving me the support I need to run all the projects on this boat. This whole process was much better than I was expecting, and I recommend this team! Thank you, Andrew.
The multihull company, specifically Andrew Hodgson worked with me in the sale of Gods Grace, a 50’ Voyage 500. They made sure that as many people as possible touched it, laid hands on it, ultimately resulting in a offer and sale and was extremely helpful in the prep and sale process as I did not live locally… If you want to make sure that people actually see your vessel, will be honest and truly assist you in the sale, Andrew is the man for the job.
Andrew Hodgdon always goes above and beyond. After several transactions I wouldn’t work with anyone else in the industry.
Andrew at the Multihull Company was our buyer’s broker and he was excellent to work with. He thoroughly explained the purchase process, and helped with many questions along the way. We would definitely use Andrew and Multihull again to buy and sell catamarans and yachts.
