About
The Africat 420 is a robustly built and beautifully finished power cat that is rare on the market. This specific unit, aptly named AFRICA 3, is in impeccable condition and recently upgraded and maintained by its second owners. The first owner kept the boat in Key Largo and used it very lightly in the Florida Keys. The Volvo IPS 500 engines (pod drive transmission) have only 800 hours on them and have been recently serviced for optimum performance. The current owners, who have previously owned top-end sailing multihulls, are currently cruising in the Bahamas.
AFRICA 3 features a 2 cabin/3 head interior layout. The starboard hull is dedicated to the owner with a queen berth aft and a large en-suite with walk-in shower forward. The port hull has a guest cabin aft with queen bunk and en-suite and a large cabin forward with vast storage capacity, walk-in shower, washer/dryer and workshop space. This is an ideal layout for long term liveaboard for a couple or small family.
Some of the quality equipment that distinguishes this Africat 420 from other power cats:
The IPS500 drives are controlled by electronic throttles from three different positions in the cockpit, interior helm and flybridge. The IPS pods greatly facilitate maneuvers in port and in tight quarters compared to a straight shaft propulsion arrangement. The attached video walk-though details these throttle positions.
AFRICA 3 is a 110V boat originally built for the US market. The current owners added a lithium battery bank and solar panels. The boat is also equipped with a 9KVA Onan generator, water maker, washer dryer to complete the comfort amenities. A brand new Highfield RIB dinghy + Honda outboard is maneuvered on and off the boat with a hydraulic crane positioned on the foredeck.
A turn key, proven yacht that is ready to go. Please contact us for more details or to arrange a showing.

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!
Sold my L42 here with the excellent help and support of TMCs Croatia sales manager “Zee”. Despite my boat docked on the dry in Montenegro, in winter and in a challenging market, TMC and Zee managed to get her sold, managing the entire process from taking pictures and video’s, putting her out there on the web, prepping her and managing all for inspections….down to the final hand-over documents and managing the escrow payments when all boxes were ticked! Very professional, very helpful (Zee went above and beyond to make sure he delivers excellent service), responsive and successful. Thanks TMC!
We purchased our lagoon 410 through the multihull company, Andrew Hodgdon was the listing’s broker. From the start till the end of the process he was upfront honest and accommodating. Our situation was unique and required a bit more leg work. Andrew was always easy to get a hold of and willing to help. It was a pleasure working with a highly knowledgeable broker that values integrity. I highly recommend him.
My experience with Andrew Hodgdon was entirely positive during the selling process of our used catamaran.
He followed up at every stage, organized successful showings, and explained in detail the closing process.
I am happy to give a 10 out of 10 review.
