About
In the evolution of the cruising catamaran, we have reached a point where there are two fairly distinct design mandates to build boats. The first are the extremely comfortable and luxurious cats whose origins are in the world of charter. The second group has been the growth sector for the last few years, and is based around optimizing the sailing performance possibilities of a catamaran, with as much comfort as is practical sprinkled in. There are many different takes on how to accomplish this, but Catana certainly deserves her place as one of the first to value sailing performance on an equal or greater level than luxury.
The era of Catana which defined the company was from about 1999 until say 2012. Catanas built in this period are legendary, the 431/471/521/581 and concurrent 2 series boats defined an idea that has become very prominent today. Built with equal parts performance and comfort, these are still to this day the most desirable performance cats at a certain price point in our industry. The boats really don't depreciate, and remain a great value.
Apricus is a very clean 431. The interior woodwork, often the thing at deteriorates in these boats is in very nice condition. Beyond that, the boat has all sorts of upgrades, notably new engines, standing rigging was done 5 years back. The boat looks great, and is the desirable owner's version configuration.

Zvonimir heard that my vessel was back on the market and reached out to see what was going on. Nothing wrong with the boat! He put me in touch with Charles and we got her sold. Thanks for all the support and making it happen TMC!
Chuck was amazing throughout the entire process. Not sure how we could have navigated this without him and the Multihull team!
It gets no better than The Multihull Company. I’ve watched their great videos for years. When it was time to sell my catamaran, there were no other brokerages in consideration. THEY ARE THE CATAMARAN MARKET LEADERS!! Captain Will Miller has taken the company to the top level. They had an interested buyer prior to my listing going live. I was under contract the first week. The Multihull Company is an impressive organization.
Was a pleasure working with Andrew Hodgdon as buyers agent for our recent multihull purchase. Very knowledgeable of this space and for sure my first call buying or selling a yacht.
The multihull company has been great to work with. They were very helpful in every stage of our purchase from instill showings to purchase. Karl Reed, Andrew Hodgon and Andrew Holland were great sources of information and helped us find our dream Catamaran. Thank you Multihull!
