About

Rattlesnake is a fabulous example of why Prout catamarans are legendary in the boating world and includes several upgrades for off-grid, full-time living aboard.

This Prout 45s is the perfect blend of seaworthiness, comfort, and ease of handling, making it an ideal choice for a full-time liveaboard and short-handed sailors looking for a proven bluewater cruiser. Designed by the renowned Prout family, this sturdy and well-balanced catamaran is built for long-range voyaging, whether youre setting off on an ocean crossing or enjoying a relaxed coastal cruise.

Rattlesnake is a 3-cabin owner's version layout, never chartered, fully equipped for off-grid, full-time liveaboard. Youll immediately notice the abundant space, the interior wood finishes, and easy access to many great amenities when you first step aboard. The interior is paneled with wood throughout, and the flooring has half-inch high-density foam beneath, all great for noise reduction and efficient climate control.

In 2021, Rattlesnake underwent several highly sought-after customizations, including:

  • Rerouting of running rigging for easy single-handed sailing

  • Three IsoTherm refrigerators with freezer (2021)

  • Custom hardwood Costa Rican slab countertop (2021)

We take pride in our happy customers

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!

— Ryan Thompson

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!

— Era Sailing

Excellent experience dealing with TMC! Anyone buying a boat I would recommend going thru them. Chuck was super friendly and helpful, he went above and beyond helping us thru the process.

— Blue Compass Private Charters

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.

— mj Sizemore

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.
