You can choose any number of yacht brokers to help you buy or sell a catamaran or trimaran. But the vast majority of them are far from offshore multihull sailors. They are salespeople, pure and simple.

Our founder, Phillip Berman, has represented the United States in numerous international catamaran regattas, placing first, second, and third in world championship competition. A graduate of Harvard, Phillip has served as the Sailing Master of the Eastern Point Yacht Club in Gloucester, MA., and has authored many books on catamaran sailing and racing. Phillip has extensive cruising and racing experience in the South Pacific, California, Mexico, the Great Lakes, South Africa, the Atlantic, the Caribbean and the Mediterranean.

When it comes to multihull design and construction Phillip and his highly trained team of catamaran and trimaran experts know what works and what doesn't - and they are not afraid to tell you the truth. They understand the needs of every type of multihull sailor, from coastal cruisers to world voyagers, offshore racers to liveaboards.
