About
The only pre-owned Vision 444 currently on the market!
"Ruby Star" is an exceptional example of the fantastic Vision 444 performance cruising catamaran. Winner of the Cruising World Magazine Boat of the Year award, the Vision 444 is a stand out of modern multihull design and construction. The Vision 444 was designed to strike the ideal balance between sailing performance and live aboard comfort. All sails can be easily handled by one person from the safety on the helm, making it possible to confidently sail shorthanded. With her 3 cabin / 3 head Owners Version layout, Ruby Star is the perfect world voyaging platform for a couple or family.
As hull # 6 off the Vision 444 production line, Ruby Star benefited from all the modifications and tweaks that were incorporated into the design after the earlier hulls had spent some time on the water. She has been sailed extensively by her original owner who has spared no expense keeping her in bristol condition. Ruby Star was initially shipped from the factory in South Africa to Florida in early 2022. Her owners have since spent the past couple seasons cruising the Bahamas and US East Coast. In that time, Ruby Star has been tweaked and tuned with several modifications to her sailing equipment. She is in gorgeous condition, totally dialed in, and ready for a world voyage.
Ruby Star is exceptionally well equipped. Several of her equipment highlights include:
And so much more! Ruby Star is US Import Duty Paid and available for showings by appointment in Norfolk, VA.
I had the pleasure of working with Chuck during the survey of a catamaran. He was fantastic—he has extensive knowledge of catamarans and was always open and attentive to my questions and concerns throughout the process. His professionalism and insight made the day smooth and productive. I would highly recommend Chuck to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and approachable broker.
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
