Carl Olivier from The Multihull Company has just recently sold our beloved catamaran Tranquilo and I would like to express our sincere appreciation for Carl’s huge efforts in getting this done in a relatively short space of time. Being from South Africa, we were unfamiliar with the boat selling process in the Caribbean and USA and started asking our fellow cruisers if anyone had any recommendations. The name Carl Olivier came up quite a few times but we decided to send out emails to the various yacht brokers. The response was excellent, however, Carl stood out from the rest by answering any questions/concerns we had, promptly and efficiently. He even assisted with information that didn’t have anything to do with the sale. It was then that we decided to give him a central listing.
Listing with Carl turned out to be the best decision we could have made as he had potential buyers almost immediately. Although not in his job description, upon arriving in the BVI, he even helped us prepare Tranquilo for our first viewing. He kept us updated on a daily basis and guided us through some very stressful surveys and viewings. He helped us find the best places to have a few issues resolved during the survey process and kept his cool when we were losing ours.
It only took a few months before he sold Tranquilo. By then we were in Ft. Lauderdale and even when the sale was done and dusted, he remained in contact with us, updating us on any post sale information.
We would have no hesitation in recommending him as a broker and wish to thank him once again for all his hard work and all the success for the future.
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.
