Balam | 2017 Fountaine Pajot SABA 50

Loreto, MX

About

Balam is a prime example of this celebrated model from Fountaine Pajot. Widely known for its charter-friendly layout and solid sailing performance, any Saba 50 is in high demand.She comes with all required documentation and permits for chartering in Mexico, if the new owner chooses to continue. This fully-equipped six cabin/six head adventure platform is perfectly suited to captained charters in the Sea of Cortez, and the owner could use the boat as much, or as little, as they may choose, while substantially offsetting the costs of ownership. She has never been bareboated, making her maiden voyage across the Atlantic from France as part of the ARC Rally fleet in 2017, and then on to Mexico. Shortly thereafter she was placed in charter with WCM, and has been well cared for ever since. She's a turn-key charter business opportunity! More photos available upon request.

We take pride in our happy customers

My wife and I worked with Andrew Hodgdon to sell our 2021 FP Elba 45. In addition to skillfully carrying out the traditional yacht broker responsibilities, Andrew went above-and-beyond to ensure that we were well-positioned to sell in a competitive market. For example, Andrew helped out with much-appreciated repairs and hurricane prep, among other things. Trustworthy, intelligent, and conscientious, Andrew’s communications with us and the buyer were always thoughtful and forward-thinking, and fairly represented our interests.

We really lucked out in connecting with The Multihull Company. We made a cold call to Cynthia Wummer, a Multihull Company broker and told her we wanted to buy a catamaran to cruise The Great Loop and experience the Bahamas. We particularly wanted a PDQ power catamaran. From our first contact she was so helpful and responsive. She immediately contacted a selling broker who represented a prospective seller. Because we are new to a bigger boat and boating on the ICW, Cynthia assisted us through the entire process. She is a captain which was an added bonus to the process; she knew all the right questions to ask the selling broker as well as the surveyor. She drove 3 hours to be present during the survey, she developed a good relationship with the selling broker, she called and checked in with us regularly, was very enthusiastic about our purchase, and answered all our questions. We could not have done it without her. The Multlihull Company support team, Andrew Holland and Courtney Greider, were so helpful in the closing process: the paperwork was easy to complete and communication was smooth and timely. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Multihull Company and Cynthia to anyone who is the market for a boat large or small. Thank you!!!!

Multihull Company has succeeded again. This is my second time using their services and they are extremely professional and honest. Working with their brokers and their administrative team was easy. Communication occurred at every level and constructive advise was always given. They know this business inside and out and acted as my fiduciary in every way. I will use them again for their service and knowledge.
