Introducing the 2006 Switch 55, Fantazia - an exceptional owner's version performance cruising catamaran, meticulously refitted over her lifetime and prepared for world voyaging!
Fantazia, has undergone extensive upgrades over the years, with no expenses spared. The dedicated owner has invested over $175,000 in upgrades more recently. Among the notable enhancements are complete paint job for the decks and hulls in 2017, upgraded composite standing rigging in 2017, new saildrives in 2022, upgraded Lithium House Battery Bank with A/C soft start in. 2020, and an array of other notable upgrades. For serious inquiries, we are more than happy to provide a comprehensive list detailing the entirety of the investment made in her restoration.
The Switch 55 represents a stretched and high-performance version of the renowned Switch 51. In addition to its impressive speed and enhanced comfort, the extended length grants additional interior volume, ideal for accommodating all your provisions and family essentials. This invaluable feature is a true advantage in bluewater cruising. Crafted by VPLP as a state-of-the-art performance cruiser, this dagger-boarded catamaran is constructed with a vinyl-ester foam core at the esteemed Sud Composites shipyard in southern France.
When it comes to performance, the Switch 55 surpasses its contemporaries such as the Catana 52 and Catana 58 of its era. Notably lighter and faster, she effortlessly cruises in the low to mid-teens without exertion and beats to windward with unmatched agility. In my opinion, the Swich 51 and 55 represent the pinnacle of balanced performance cruising multihulls in their time. With superior interior space and remarkable payload capacity, she outclasses performance brands in terms of space while boasting greater speed than cruising designs of its vintage.
It is well-known that producing performance catamarans of this caliber demands significant investment. Presently, the replacement value for a similar fully-equipped catamaran exceeds $2 million. However, what sets Fantazia apart is the meticulous attention and care bestowed upon her by her current owner. She stands as a near turnkey performance catamaran, tailored for the discerning buyer seeking far greater performance than what standard charter catamarans designs offer. Fantazia has already proven herself during a circumnavigation and is now fully prepared for her second voyage around the globe.
Despite her outstanding performance capabilities, comfort remains paramount aboard Fantazia. Lavishly finished interiors, spacious cabins, and a generous updated galley and salon with dual seating areas ensure a high level of onboard comfort. The owner's suite occupies an entire hull, providing dedicated luxury. Extensively equipped for extended cruising, Fantazia boasts twin gensets, soft-start air conditioning, a water maker, washing machine, satellite communications, and many other amenities essential for extended voyages.
Currently lying at Zimmerman Marine in Mathews, VA, Fantazia is safely housed in a professional shipyard that can handle any necessary preparations for her next grand adventure.

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.
We purchased our Balance 442 through TMC, Andrew Hodgdon in the St Augustine office, and the experience was excellent. We had a couple last minute issues like incorrect hull ID on docs, and they quickly ran point to get this all taken care of to help us close on time. It was all especially impressive given that most of this was happening during the end of year holidays. Good team, good follow up. Recommended.
