The Multihull Company is pleased to announce that Josie Tucci has joined its team of expert yacht brokers in the Gulf Coast. Josie brings over 25 years of experience in the marine industry, with a strong focus on catamarans.
Josie’s career began in France with Dufour Yachts, where she honed her sales and marketing skills. She then transitioned to the US, working with renowned brands such as The Moorings Yacht Ownership and Leopard Catamarans. Her expertise in the catamaran sector was further solidified during her time as VP of Marketing with MarineMax, where she played a pivotal role in the launch of Aquila Catamarans. In 2015, she returned to The Moorings and Sunsail as VP of Sales and Marketing.
Josie’s extensive experience across multiple continents and with leading marine brands has earned her a well-deserved reputation in the industry. Her personal passion for sailing, particularly in the British Virgin Islands and Croatia, further fuels her commitment to helping clients find their ideal catamaran.
Josie will be based out of The Multihull Company’s new location on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Her deep understanding of the local market and her passion for multihull yachts will enable her to provide exceptional service to clients in the region.
“I’m thrilled to be joining The Multihull Company and to be serving the Gulf Coast region,” said Josie. “Whether you’re looking to buy or sell a catamaran, I’m committed to providing a smooth and successful experience.”
We had an outstanding experience working with Andrew Hodgdon to find our dream boat, an Outremer 52.
We were actually referred to him by several different people—clients who had been very happy working with him, as well as boat owners who were planning to use him to sell their own boats. After working with Andrew ourselves, we completely understand why he came so highly recommended.
We worked with him for several months, and from start to finish, he was exceptional. Andrew is incredibly knowledgeable and truly an expert when it comes to performance catamarans. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, was always responsive and organized, and never made us feel pressured throughout the process.
Andrew went above and beyond to arrange showings for us in multiple states and even traveled to another state to be there with us for the sea trial. His expertise and guidance gave us tremendous confidence as we evaluated such a significant purchase.
The entire process could have been overwhelming, but he made it remarkably smooth. He was on top of every detail and made the paperwork and closing process easy, working seamlessly with his team at The Multihull Company.
What impressed us most was that he genuinely had our best interests in mind. And his support didn’t end when the sale was completed. He has continued to stay in touch and has made it clear that he is still available to help us if we ever need him. That kind of follow-through is rare and speaks volumes about the kind of broker he is.
Buying an Outremer 52 was a huge decision and a major investment, and having someone with his knowledge, experience, responsiveness, and integrity made the entire experience so much easier and more enjoyable.
We couldn’t recommend Andrew Hodgdon more highly. If you’re looking for a yacht broker—especially if you’re considering a performance catamaran—we would choose him again without hesitation. The fact that so many people recommended him to us was the reason we called him, and after working with him, we would be one of those people recommending him to others.
I highly recommend Andrew Hodgdon. He served as our buyers broker. He is responsive, highly knowledgeable and very experienced. He is also an excellent guide and counselor before, during and after the boat purchase process. If you are looking for a good-sailing cat, he seems to collect most of the available boats on the better-sailing side of the market. Top marks.
Andrew did an excellent job getting me started on my new adventures. Worked with my conflicting schedule. Is very knowledgeable in the catamaran industry. 😎
I recently sold my Lagoon 450 with the Multihull Team. I would highly recommend their services. The professionalism and personal treatment I received was greatly appreciated.
Great Service, Great People
Helped me through the process.
I would go through them again in a future purchase.
