The Multihull Company’s Fort Lauderdale office is managed by Senior Brokers Alexis De Boucaud, Caroline Laviolette, Cynthia Wummer and Dunbar Lewis.
Alexis, who developed a love for the sea at an early age racing dinghies in the waters of Brittany, France immigrated to the United States as a young man and shortly after developed a fluency in both French and English. He then went on to study business at Amherst College, but knew even then that his true passion was in offshore cruising. He began his professional yacht career as a captain sailing the storied seas of French Polynesia on a Fountaine Pajot Marquises 57 catamaran. While there, he developed a talent for sharing and communicating his love for blue-water sailing to his worldly guests. Alexis took this skill and then began working as the base manager for Nautor’s Swan Charters, a high-end charter company with over fifty Swans based in the Caribbean, New England and the Mediterranean. While at Nautor’s Swan, Alexis coordinated the sale of new yachts through the French defiscalisation program. He later instituted a successful yacht sales and management program to develop the fleet in non-French territories. This experience gave him substantial experience in the many facets of yacht sales and brokerage in the United States, Europe and the Caribbean. Alexis joined The Multihull Company over ten years ago, working alongside founder Phil Berman to serve clients around the world.
Caroline Laviolette learned how to walk on a boat. She has cruised, raced and also lived aboard in her youth. Caroline started as a yacht broker in 2000 and has had the opportunity to work with clients in the purchase and sale of almost every type of cruising catamaran on the water today. She has helped hundreds of clients purchase yachts new and used from 30’-77’ and has come across every type of situation and problem that may arise in a transaction. She has sailed several of the world’s best cruising grounds including Florida, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Great Lakes, South Pacific, Northern Europe, Mediterranean and Mexico, and speaks fluent English, French and Spanish.
Cynthia Wummer delivers lasting value for her clients as a genuine sailboat specialist. Her vast racing and cruising resumé bears a depth of knowledge that creates a winning connection. Cynthia says, “Some people come to the buying process with next-to-no experience, while others are extremely qualified cruisers looking for their next-level boat. Having a broad spectrum of experience helps me draw out and achieve all the finer points of what my clients are looking for.”
The Multihull Company’s offices are located within a few minutes drive of the Lauderdale Marine Center which is Florida’s largest marine facility, a premier, all-inclusive, 38-acre complex designed to meet the needs of the world’s discerning yachtsmen, captains and crew.

CHRIS DID A GREAT JOB TAKING PICS AND INFO ABOUT THE BOAT AND REPRESENTED IT WILL. THE SALE COMPLETED WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF LISTING!
I recently sold my boat through The Multihull Company and was very pleased with the experience. Their professionalism and efficiency made the process smooth and hassle-free. Highly recommend their services for anyone looking to buy or sell a boat!
Highly recommend Andrew Hodgdon and The Multihull Company crew. They were an amazing resource throughout the entire purchase process – organizing viewing, getting the boat under contract and surveyed, all the way through closing. Communications were consistent and straight forward. Multiple personal touches along the way to make you feel like part of the team.
Could not be happier. Conor is just a super likable guy and he walked us through the whole process and Andrew handled all the paperwork and financials and together they got me into my first catamaran! Will definitely be calling Conor again when we buy our next boat!
I’ve used The Multihull Company to list and sell two catamarans in the past year and they have been excellent to work with. The first cat was a vessel (42 Lagoon) I had released from my charter company. We had som difficulties during the sale process with the buyer finalizing the purchase and TMC handled things beautifully and we were able to close as expected. The second, a 1997 Island Packet Cat, they were able to attract multiple potential buyers, in a fairly short period of time, and just before our sailing season ended here in Michigan. Will, Andrew, Riley and the rest of the team there have been excellent to work with. Very professional and responsive. As someone that has worked in sales and sales management for my entire career, I appreciate the process they have in place and their execution.
