The Multihull Company is pleased to announce the opening of its new offices in San Francisco with its new agents Wayne Goldman and Sean Conner.
Multihulls California, situated in the heart of downtown San Francisco, is right on the water at Pier 40 on the Embarcadero.
The office is managed by associate broker Wayne Goldman, who has been around water his whole life and has sailed most of the waters of the world. He started out on his dad’s “huge” 21’ Chris Craft woodie cabin cruiser when he was still in diapers. He cried when his mom made his dad sell the boat to spend more time with the family. Once he had boating on his mind, he spent every chance he could on the lakes and rivers of upstate New York. Once he found the ocean when he went to college in New Hampshire, there was no turning back, buying and sailing boats wherever he went. He eventually ended up in California in a corporate job, but that did not stop him from buying his first cruising sailboat, a brand new Tayana 42’. During the next thrty years, Wayne would work a real job for a few years, then escape and go cruising for a few years.
Wayne has spent the last 20+ years in the marine industry, selling boating equipment to boat builders all over the world and doing international and local boat shows on the east and west coast. He has extensive experience with catamarans and has visited most of the catamaran factories around the world. For the past 5+ years, Wayne has focused his passion on helping other, like-minded boaters find the boat of their dream. With his vast knowledge of boats, and understanding what boaters are looking for, Wayne has been successfully finding the right boats for hundreds of boaters.
Sean Conner was born into a boating family, spending his childhood on and around the San Francisco Bay and Delta. This introduction to boating at such an early age stuck hard with Sean, who was never content unless he was on a boat.
After finishing school, Sean immediately went to work in South Florida for the Miss Geico Offshore powerboat racing team. Traveling extensively throughout the U.S. to nearly every boat race and major boat show, Sean was responsible for the preparation and maintenance of the teams several performance boats.
Having traveled home to spend some time in a family business, Sean’s need for adventure and salt water sent him to Mexico to crew on private yachts. From this point on, Sean found himself crewing on private yachts from Canada to Southern Mexico, including the Sea of Cortez and the Caribbean as far south as Grenada. After meeting many great people along the way that were looking to purchase or sell yachts Sean decided to obtain his Yacht Salesman license in California and begin working for The Multihull Company in California.
Being able to put real life, on-the-water experience into assisting his clients find the proper boat and equipment to fulfill their dreams has been invaluable. Sean’s hands-on knowledge of both power boats and sail boats have made him a very versatile resource for all of his clients needs.
Wayne and Sean now join The Multihull Company to open TMC San Francisco and assist clients with all of their buying and selling needs in the California and abroad. With offices situated in the downtown San Francisco and within close proximity to all of the major marina and facilities, they are ideally located to assist in the purchase or sale of your next catamaran.
If you are shopping for a boat in the California, or looking for assistance with the sale of your boat, Wayne and Sean are ready to assist!
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.
