Story by Andrew Holland / January 9, 2026
In the world of multihulls, there are boats built for the masses, and then there are boats built for the individual. For those who have spent years on the water, the transition from “sailing” to “voyaging” requires a vessel that offers more than just extra cabins—it requires a sanctuary that can handle the rigors of the open ocean without sacrificing the comforts of home.
We recently sat down with one of our clients to discuss their journey toward boat ownership. In the latest video from Privilege Marine, they share the raw, honest reasons why, after surveying the entire market, the answer was always going to be a Privilège.
Privilège Catamarans have long been the gold standard for luxury blue-water cruising. But what does that actually mean for the owner at the helm? As our client explains in the video, the decision came down to three non-negotiable pillars:
One of the first things owners notice when stepping aboard a Privilège is what they don’t hear. Thanks to a robust construction process and a high-bridgedeck clearance, the “shudder and groan” common in mass-production cats is virtually non-existent. For our client, knowing the boat was built to withstand the North Atlantic was the ultimate peace of mind.
Most shipyards offer a few upholstery colors and call it “custom.” Privilège takes a different approach. Because these boats are built in limited numbers at the Les Sables-d’Olonne shipyard, owners can work with designers to tailor the layout to their specific lifestyle. Whether it’s a dedicated home office for a digital nomad or a gourmet galley for a world-class chef, the boat is built around the dreamer.
It is often said that the owner’s cabin on a Privilège is the best in the industry. Spanning the center of the boat and pushing forward into the nacelle, it offers a level of volume and privacy usually reserved for 80-foot superyachts. For a couple living aboard full-time, this isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity for long-term comfort.
At The Multihull Company, we don’t just sell boats; we represent a philosophy of excellence.
Choosing a Privilège is about more than picking a brand—it’s about joining a legacy of sailors who refuse to compromise on safety, style, or soul.

Chuck at The Multihull Company is the real deal.
He helped us find our Lagoon 40 after genuinely listening to what we needed, not just what he had to sell. He let us visit the boat multiple times, answered every question honestly, and helped us make a confident decision on a major purchase.
What impressed us most was the post-sale support. Once the paperwork was signed, Chuck was still picking up the phone, offering referrals, and helping us work through the early stages of liveaboard life. That kind of follow-through is rare.
If you are looking for a multihull and want someone who knows the boats and actually cares about the outcome, Chuck is the person to call.
We just purchased a 2025 Nautitech 44 Open with The Multihull Company. The process of getting here has been great, and we could not have asked for a better agent. We worked with Conor, whom we met at the 2025 Cannes Boat Show. We started our search for a cruising catamaran in Florida at the beginning of the year. We spent a couple of months looking at different boats/models within our price range and quickly narrowed it down to what really mattered to us, in part thanks to the wealth of knowledge and expertise our broker provided. When we found a perfect match in Montenegro, Conor and The Multihull Company did not hesitate to continue supporting us and to lead the efforts from start to finish with great care and transparency. Communication and support have been outstanding throughout this entire process. Conor, in particular, showed great compassion and care, going above and beyond to ensure that no stone was left unturned and that we would be able to safely and happily sail off into our big adventure.
A sale well handled. No inflated expectations and an honest opinion throughout. Highly recommended.
Absolutely THE ONLY company to use for buying or selling a catamaran! Our Broker Andrew Hodgdon, was excellent to work with, an experienced catamaran captain with extensive knowledge of sailing catamarans, the ins and outs of the construction, performance, systems, everything involved and life on board catamarans. All of which is invaluable in looking for the right boat for someone to buy or helping market your boat when selling. The Multihull Company is so connected in the catamaran world and used by so many catamaran sailors and searchers that we had an interested buyer before our boat was even listed and a completed sale 60 days after her first showing!!! Thanks Andrew and all of the Multihull team who worked diligently to make it happen so smoothly!
We had a great experience working with Andrew! He was extremely knowledgeable and listened to our needs of what we wanted our next boat to be. He responded quickly to all of our requests and got us to the finish line. Working with Multihull was seamless and we highly recommend using Andrew and Multihull.
