About

Blue Kite is a lovingly used, Helia Evolution Maestro catamaran. 

A one owner boat, she has been serving as a vacation home for a couple, who have sailed her seasonally - primarily in the Caribbean - from her base in her slip in St Thomas. As such, the boat has been lightly sailed, and continuously and meticulously maintained, by owners who have consistently refurbished and upgraded the boat, as needed to meet their high standards. 

 The owners have enjoyed the boat for 9 years, but have decided that it is time to move to a larger boat. So they have put the boat on the market. 

Thoughtfully upgraded and maintained, by a very experienced, hands-on owner, Blue Kite is in turnkey condition - and ready to provide years of enjoyment for her next owners.

Working with Andrew Hodgdon at The MultiHull Company was a great experience. Andrew has years of experience in the multihull market, especially performence catamarans and was the Technical Director at Balance Catamarans for many years. He’s always available to talk, guide and advise. He’s easy to work with, is extremely knowledgeable, and has a very pleasant way about him. I would highly recommend Andrew to help in your sale or purchase of any multihull.

Working with Will, Andrew Holland and Andrew Hodgdon to sell my Balance 442 was such a pleasure. No one knows multihulls as well as Andrew Hodgdon, especially performance cats like a Balance. As Technical Director of Balance for many years, Andrew knows all of the nuances of that type of boat, as well as the other brands in the category. If you want to sell or buy a catamaran, look no further than Andrew Hodgdon!
