I couldn’t be more grateful to have had TMC on my side throughout this process. Buying was a new experience for me and I know it wasn’t the easiest deal you’ve ever had, but you were competent and kind throughout.

I used Andrew Hodgdon/The Multihull Company as a buyer’s broker to help me find and buy a 55 foot catamaran and I was tremendously impressed with the job that he did. Very knowledgeable and experienced, it was great having his expertise on my team. I ended up biting the right boat at the right price and am very happy with the contribution he made to that effort. Highly Recommended.

Andrew Hodgdon was our broker when we bought our 2018 Lagoon 450F in Antigua in April 2922. He provided great service and was very attentive to our needs. We would highly recommend Andrew and the Multihull Company.

Andrew was a huge contributor, helping us inform ourselves on all aspects of our purchase and the beginning of new-to-us boat ownership. It was our first, so we needed the specific help, attention and advice he provided us, which helped make it great experience.

Andrew was our broker for both buying and selling our beautiful catamaran. He was both professional and helpful in all aspects of the buying and selling process. He even helped my husband on the last leg of the sail to get our boat to the agreed upon handover location. Thanks Andrew!

I would highly recommend working with The Multihull Company in St Augustine. Andrew Hodgdon is very knowledgeable about catamarans and was able to educate me greatly as he toured me around several boatyards to look at various makes and builds. After I purchased my boat, he was even kind enough to help with some small projects to get it ready to be delivered. Truly a nice individual and company to work with.

Andrew Hodgdon helped us sell our last boat. He was dedicated, professional and helpful every step of the way. He made valuable suggestions for how to best show the boat and brought only serious buyers to see her. I would highly recommend Andrew if you are looking to sell or purchase a vessel.

Working with Andrew Hodgdon from The Multihull Company was as seamless as an experience as possible. My husband and I had met Andrew several years back at a boat show and when one of his listings came on the market, I had contacted him with questions about the boat, but not necessarily about engaging him as our broker. He sent a wealth of information over and was open to having conversations with us before even signing on with him to represent us. We had no qualms about Andrew representing both the seller and us as buyers in this process. He was ethical, fair and up front about everything. We built an instant rapport with Andrew and appreciated his honesty and no-nonesense approach. It was clear to us early on that Andrew is extremely knowledgable about catamarans and especially performance catamarans, for which we were in the market. He also has a vast network of provider contacts and was able to put us in touch with insurance agencies and other industry professionals to help us. We couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Andrew. He set us up for success, and made the buying process extremely easy. We'd work with him again no question!

Andrew was great to work with. His knowledge and extensive network enabled us to quickly sell our catamaran. He cared about our needs, and was very easy to work with.

Hello Cynthia, We cant thank you enough for all the hard work and efforts you have done to help our dream boat purchase go thru so smoothly.

If you are looking for a knowledgeable and capable broker to navigate a catamaran purchase then you must seriously consider Andrew Hodgdon and the Multihull Company. I worked closely with Andrew over the course of several months and he was exceptional. Always professional and easy to communicate with Andrew proved to be one of the best brokers I’ve ever worked with over the last twelve years (and two previous boats). His insight, thoughtfulness, ability to listen, and responsiveness set him apart from the vast majority of brokers. I was also pleased with the leadership and support he and I received from the Multihull Company - the boat buying process is seldom easy, but they certainly smoothed out the bumps. I would absolutely use Andrew again to purchase my next boat.
Mort Orlov
Andrew has broad knowledge and first hand-experience of all types of catamarans. This helped educate us thoroughly with understanding the pros and cons of each catamaran model and how they would fit with our cruising plan. Thanks for a great experience.

Sailing is and has been a very large part of Andrew’s life, it shows with his knowledge of boats, boating and the industry in general. It was a pleasure doing business with him.

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of working with Andrew Hodgdon (The Multihull Company) as our boat broker, and we couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, Andrew Hodgdon demonstrated a level of expertise and professionalism that truly exceeded our expectations. Andrew Hodgdon exhibited an in-depth knowledge of the boating industry that was evident in every interaction. He patiently answered all our questions, providing insightful information about various boat types, brands, and maintenance considerations. His guidance was invaluable in helping us make an informed decision. What sets Andrew Hodgdon apart is his commitment to understanding his clients' needs and preferences. He took the time to listen to our requirements and then curated a selection of catamarans that perfectly matched our criteria. This not only saved us time but also ensured that we were presented with options that were genuinely tailored to our needs. Throughout the negotiation and purchasing process, Andrew Hodgdon acted as a trustworthy advocate, ensuring that our interests were protected and that the transaction proceeded smoothly. His attention to detail and dedication to a transparent, fair deal were truly commendable. Additionally, Andrew Hodgdon provided valuable post-purchase guidance, including recommendations for maintenance and service providers in the area, which further demonstrated his commitment to his clients' long-term satisfaction. In summary, Andrew Hodgdon is a highly knowledgeable and helpful boat broker who goes above and beyond to provide an exceptional client experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in the market for a catamaran, whether you're a seasoned boater or a first-time buyer. Working with Andrew Hodgdon will undoubtedly make your boat buying journey not only successful but enjoyable.

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.

In May 2023 my wife and I returned from the Bahamas after spending the winter there on our Seawind catamaran. Prior to that we had been full time liveaboard cruisers for 15 years. During our recent cruise we realized it was time for us to retire from the cruising life. We had our boat hauled at the St. Augustine Marine Center in Florida where it had been in the prior hurricane season. Before we left for the Bahamas we met Andrew Hodgdon who ran the Multihull Company brokerage office at that facility. Upon returning to St Augustine we met with Andrew and told him that we were now interested in selling the boat. It was clear to us that Andrew was fully qualified to manage our sale. Along with being a broker he had been a technical director at Balance Catamarans and had done numerous deliveries of multihulls to some of the most distant locations in the world. With Andrew's help we put together an informal plan for the sale. Andrew guided us in preparing the boat for prospective buyers and provided advice on pricing. In a softening used boat market our boat sold in less than five months at a price that exceeded our May, 2020 purchase price. Rather than just listing our boat Andrew took steps to promote a successful sale. Most important perhaps was Andrew's encouragement that any prospective buyer of another yacht in our price and size range should also visit our boat while in the facility. This worked to perfection as the new owner of our boat had originally come to tour another boat that Andrew had for sale. It was a huge advantage having our boat close to Andrew's office. He took the initiative to make sure that our boat was well cared for. When we had arranged for the boat to be detailed Andrew watched over the work being done. Once when a threatening storm was approaching the facility Andrew, on his own, made sure that sails were removed and the boat was secure. During the course of finding a new owner I would call Andrew from time to time to discuss progress and I could count on him to return my call in about an hour. Selling a boat is often confusing and laborious especially for us who live over a thousand miles away in Rhode Island. Moreover, Andrew helped us through the process of all the online document signing, etc. Andrew's management of all those elements was a major factor in our successful sale.
Glenn Cooper
We had a great experience selling our catamaran through Andrew and The Multihull Company. Andrew's extensive boating knowledge coupled with his honesty, professionalism, communication, and attention to detail resulted in a smooth drama-free experience for us. We can highly recommend Andrew and The Multihull Company.
Doug Frisby
Andrew worked with us on the purchase of Lyra. We were treated with respect and the line of communication was always open. It was not an easy task for him to deal with a buyer from NZ, a seller from South Africa and him being located in Florida. Andrew conducted himself professionally and I recommend dealing with him as a broker.
Fraser Cameron
Working with Andrew Hodgdon was a pleasure. He took time to listen to our wants and must haves, tirelessly showed us a number of boats and shared so much knowledge! Would highly recommend Multihull and Andrew!
Angela Thompson
My positive review is based primarily on the broker, Andrew Hodgdon. We worked with Andrew on the buying side. He was professional, and very experienced. Andrew's focus was on getting us into the right boat at the right price. He made his network of contacts available to us, and has been helping and supporting us well after the sale! I'll use him again if/when we upsize.
Rolland Thompson
I cannot praise Andrew with Multihull highly enough! From the moment I met him at a boat show last year, I knew he was the broker for me. His professionalism, knowledge, and dedication are unmatched. What truly sets Andrew apart, however, is his exceptional customer service. From the initial inquiry to the final purchase, every step of the process was handled with the utmost care and attention to detail. The Multihull team took the time to understand my needs and preferences, guiding me through each step with patience and expertise. Their transparent and honest approach instilled confidence and trust, making the entire experience smooth and relatively stress-free. If you're in the market for a catamaran, look no further than Andrew and Multihull.
Heath Johnson
it was a pleasure dealing with Andrew Hogdon and the others at The Multihull Company. I strongly recommend him for anyone interested in buying or selling a boat. He assisted me in purchasing a Fontaine-Pajot Lipari 41 catamaran. I was away from St Augustine during much of the time that would normally be required to make the purchase. Andrew arranged for a viewing (with the owner) on the day that I would be in St Augustine; he recommended surveyors and he arranged for the survey time also on the tight schedule that I had. All of the closing, etc. was done from a distance, primarily while I was in Panama. He went beyond normal expectations several times including arranging for a haul out and getting my boat to the haul out in order to do some maintenance after my purchase. I felt that he was always acting fairly - for both the seller and for me. And he always responded quickly to any questions that I had.

Andrew is a very professional and knowledgeable person. He even helped using the Dinghy to shuttle interested buyers to our boat which was tied on a mooring. The entire process was very smooth!
Wolfgang Schau
Objectivity is difficult to find today especially when someone is trying to sell you something. Andrew from the multihull company told me at least 30 times why I was screwing up and why I should look at characteristics other than those I initially favored. He was patient with me even when he thought I was wrong. I came to trust him and he ultimately led me to the perfect boat. Thanks!
Dan Short
We are extremely pleased to have worked with Andrew at the Multihull company for selling our boat. Beginning with the initial consultation, to signing documents, Andrew, and the Multihull team did a great job to make the process smooth and worked around little logistical issues we had. Andrew had a steady flow of potential buyers looking at our boat, which we believe St. Augustine is an excellent location, and a fantastic alternative to South Florida. Andrew's extensive multihull experience on performance boats was key to selling our boat. Big thanks again to Andrew and the team, would highly recommend!

Andrew was incredibly helpful throughout our boat search! Over the course of a couple of years, he supported us every step of the way. His expertise was essential in exploring options, guiding us through the surveying process, and finalizing the deal.

Andrew Hodgdon and The Multihull Company have done an extraordinary job facilitating the sale of our catamaran. There were a couple of challenges (geography and timing) that made this sale a little tricky, but, as usual, Andrew was amazing. I've been buying and selling cruising boats for over 12 years and Andrew is, without a doubt, the best broker I've worked with.
Mort Orlov
Andrew, and Andrew are both fantastic. Transaction was smooth and professional highly recommend the team over at Multihull.

The entire company was committed to my satisfaction as a seller. Andrew the broker went out of his way to help me prepare the boat for sale and in just 3 weeks we had it under contract. I had to be away from the country but Andrew the broker and Andrew (same name) the Chief Operating Officer walked me through all the paperwork needed and kept me informed at every stage of the sale. Boat owners don’t remain without a boat for long, if this is the case for me, I will certainly contact Andrew and the Multihull Company to be my broker.
