I want to tell you about the positive experience that I had doing business with The Multihull Company.
For background, Sandy, my wife, and I live in Hawaii. We began our search for a catamaran on line, with for sale by owner boats. Both of the prospective boats we lined up, one in Guatemala and another in St. Lucia. Our one day layover in Miami grew into a ten day stay in Miami one was taken off the market and the other failed it’s survey.
We saw where Multihull Company had a listing that peaked our interest so we called Alexis. He was in St. Maartin and was not sure if he could be back in Florida to meet with us, so he assigned Jeff Jones to help us. What a stroke of luck. Jeff worked very long and hard for us, and we looked at several boats and made an offer on a boat.
Once back in Hawaii we received the survey report that was a failing grade. Disappointed, but not deterred, we asked Jeff to continue the search since he knew what we were looking for. That led to a long distance completed boat deal.
This long distance process went very well because of Jeff and the procedures you have established as a business model. We have so much praise for you, your company and Jeff.
Not only have we gotten a boat, but I believe a friend in Jeff.
Your team delivered on every mark. You’ve got an amazing broker in Mark Wattrus and I’m confident you will have continued success moving forward together. He was available 24/7 whenever I had questions. We had a great initial visit on the boat and his marketing plan and photos were superb
I bought a yacht that I had never seen. I did this because I trusted my broker Andrew Holland. It was not an easy job for Andrew, as I am an experienced boat builder and owner of previous yachts, but work in West Africa. Imagine how hard it was to communicate what I was looking for. Andrew came up with exactly what I wanted. He dealt with time delays, all my questions at odd hours, and was there for the survey. He reported honestly and professionally. After buying the yacht, I arrived at the boat on a Sunday night, after dark, after travelling from West Africa to the Caribbean, and found it was better than expected. He never pulled punches and made me aware of shortfalls. I expected to spend my one month leave working on the boat, but actually spent less than one week, and was able to spend 3 weeks sailing – wonderful bonus.
Thank you Andrew for putting up with all my questions, all my worries and all my crazy out of the time zone concerns – you were totally professional, but also I know that if and when we meet up, it will be like a friend finally meeting. You are always welcome on Aseka.
Outstanding company with professional subject matter experts. If I were to buy or sell cruising sailboat, particularly a catamaran, Andrew would be my go to broker.
I have been sailing since I was a child and attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy. But when my wife and I began the process of purchasing an ocean cruising/racing catamaran, I realized that this is a world unto itself. Obviously, we needed to find someone knowledgeable to help us make an informed decision. More importantly, we needed someone honest and willing to put our interests before his or her own. I was lucky to work with Phil Berman at The Multihull Company. He repeatedly shunned the fast buck, choosing instead to work the long road to connect us with the “perfect boat”. I would be glad to recommend Phil and his company to anyone planning to purchase or sell a performance sailing machine.
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.
