About
Island Girl is a 45 foot Malcolm Tenant power catamaran, designed for coastal voyaging and island hopping.
She has very low hours on her dual Yanmar engines, is well equipped, and has been carefully maintained by her owner, a seasoned seaman who has spent his life on the water. He presently owns a large sailing catamaran and is heavily involved in the Marshall Islands with humanitarian work and projects in the South Pacific region. Island Girl was purchased mainly to be used for a specific project that was recently cancelled.
She is being offered at a heavily discounted price for a yacht of her size, condition and equipment list due to her remote location. She can be motored at a speed of 9 knots and, with extra bladder tankage, and travel up to 800 miles on her own bottom. Using her existing tankage, she has a range of about 350 miles. Her top speed is 21 knots, but her cruising speed is ideal at 16 knots for efficient use of fuel.
Due to her range limits, she is mostly ideal for coastal cruising, island hoping, rather than long oceanic crossings. She is ideally purchased by someone in the South Pacific, preferably Fiji. She can sail to the surrounding sailing grounds in Tonga, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Solomon Islands, PNG and Australia. She can motor on her own to Tarawa in Kiribati, then to Funafati in Tuvalu.
Her listed price is very, very low for a yacht of this quality, vintage, and condition due to her location. For anyone in the region she represents a superb deal for purchase, but an Aussie, Kiwi, or any Pacific Islander would be thrilled to find such a powercat near them at such a price. Replacement value for a Tenant such as this would exceed $1 million dollars.

Cal Landau went above and beyond taking care of issues that came up during the listing. I can’t say enough.
CHRIS DID A GREAT JOB TAKING PICS AND INFO ABOUT THE BOAT AND REPRESENTED IT WILL. THE SALE COMPLETED WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF LISTING!
I recently sold my boat through The Multihull Company and was very pleased with the experience. Their professionalism and efficiency made the process smooth and hassle-free. Highly recommend their services for anyone looking to buy or sell a boat!
Highly recommend Andrew Hodgdon and The Multihull Company crew. They were an amazing resource throughout the entire purchase process – organizing viewing, getting the boat under contract and surveyed, all the way through closing. Communications were consistent and straight forward. Multiple personal touches along the way to make you feel like part of the team.
Could not be happier. Conor is just a super likable guy and he walked us through the whole process and Andrew handled all the paperwork and financials and together they got me into my first catamaran! Will definitely be calling Conor again when we buy our next boat!
