My wife and I want to take a moment to recognize Cynthia Wummer for her amazing work during the purchase of our first boat, a 2018 Lagoon 40 (SV Southern Wild). We were so incredibly pleased with Cynthia and the way she handled this difficult and complex process with ease! She gave us the "white glove" treatment every step of the way. She was extremely proactive in setting up multiple virtual meetings, she expertly and personally handled our survey abroad, and she even guided the sellers throughout. She was a bulldog when we needed her to be during the negotiations (we honestly felt sorry for the sellers!) but she was also eloquent and used a gentle touch when we hit her with many questions. We can't say enough about this outstanding experience with Cynthia. She reflects outstanding credit upon The Multihull Company and you guys are lucky to have her on your team! Thank you all so much for making our first boat purchase not only a success, but a treasured memory.

“My husband and I recently purchased a Lagoon 421, with Cynthia Wummer as Broker and we have a very long list of accolades for her. Instead, I’ll give you a Top Ten! 1. She intuits what really matters to the client. We felt 100% comfortable that Cynthia could evaluate all potentials — knowing that she “gets us.” Which is the main ingredient in client trust. 2. She hones the decision process. Early on, she sensed we were struggling with size. She economized our travel time with a day of boat visits to “try on” a range of 39 to 48 footers, so we could isolate boat size as a defining criteria going forward. 3. She has buckets of initiative. She was ever quick to scout the back story on a boat, travel to make an inspection, send video, arrange virtual tours … and kept us current at all times. 4. She has even more buckets of knowledge. We relied on her first-hand experience to guide our live-aboard decisions (power and electrical, engine, boat handling, watermaker, gear, etc.) Plus, she shares her seemingly endless contacts of marine experts and contractors. 5. She’s responsive … answering emails, texts, phone calls — pronto. Grass does not grow under those tanned feet. 6. She advances the ball. She took an inquiry to verbal agreement to paper with just the right pressure on the pedal. And, even tho that sale didn’t go thru … (read on). 7. She is a contingency planner. Behind the scenes, Cynthia stayed in contact for months with a sell-by-owner that initially refused to budge; but ultimately became ready to deal. 8. She keeps all parties at the table. She instinctively kept the “we’re not budging” seller comfortable and communicating. 9. Cynthia can reverse-engineer to keep a deal alive. Our sellers had a sticking point about the VAT and sale price– and Cynthia kept negotiating until they were satisfied — ultimately to our benefit. 10. She is compassionate and giving… such as hosting us in her home, letting us store shipments in her garage, and checking on us during the corona virus crazy. Not as a sales person, but as someone who cares about clients as people. Cynthia is an awesome human who has your back. When we’re ready for our next boat (like all sailors, eventually), we know she’ll have our back again!”

Hello Cynthia, We cant thank you enough for all the hard work and efforts you have done to help our dream boat purchase go thru so smoothly. You went above and beyond helping find a Captain, boat slip and many other things you have done! We will always refer you to others looking to purchase or sell a boat.

Cynthia is a great yacht broker. I could list all the things she has done that make here amazing; however, it is not what she does that makes here amazing, it is why she does them. She has a huge heart, patience and an unrelenting drive to help people make their dreams come true. In the search for our boat, thru the purchase Cynthia was always available to answer any questions and negotiated diligently on our behalf. Combine that with her highly skilled understanding of boats as a broker, crew and a captain and you have a broker that anyone would be lucky to have on their team. Where some brokers would stop there, Cynthia continued helping us by finding dockage and ensuring our transition to boat ownership was smooth and painless.

I’ve done many complicated, stressful deals in my career and I highly value a good team. I really want you to know the importance of Cynthia’s involvement in making the sale happen. From the first time Cynthia came on my boat, I was impressed how quickly and aggressively she took on the assignment. She was just “all over it” on day one! She held everyone to task and made things happen. I cannot think of a time she didn’t follow-up immediately and completely. As I live in California it was going to be difficult for me to go back-and-forth during the transaction. Cynthia stepped up and helped find a new dock in Fort Lauderdale, she helped find the appropriate resources and helped in managing the repair work prior to the sale. Cynthia gave me good counsel as to how to approach the “deal” during the whole process. All along the way she was just invaluable!!!! Most brokers that I have dealt with were slow and painfully inept in this regard. She is an excellent communicator and pays attention to the details. While she represented both the seller and buyer we never once felt she wasn’t fair. We just didn’t have to worry about it. On top of everything else, Cynthia was fun to deal with!! Thanks so much!

Dear Cynthia, I want to take a moment to thank you for all your assistance and efforts on the sale of my sailing vessel Orinoco. Your dedication to me as your client, skillful advertising and promotion for maximum exposure, together with your knowledge and experience in yachts, were a great combination to generate a successful sale. You also assisted me on finding a slip in Fort Lauderdale and, delivering the vessel to the new slip from West Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale on your personal time. It really was a pleasure to have your professional attention on all aspects of preparing the boat and making it more attractive to potential buyers. I highly recommend you, not only as a helpful salesperson, but for all your knowledge, expertise and willingness to be there when I needed you. I can assure you that my next purchase of a boat, I will contact you for your awesome services. Thank you, Johnny Sucre

First of all, I’d like to say thanks to you both for taking the time to speak to me and for your help in facilitating the purchase. I was a little skeptical especially on the deposit but after speaking with you all it put me at ease that if for some reason this Lagoon wasn’t the right one that I’d get my deposit back. I have heard some horror stories. I actually started my search with a competitor but after thoroughly reading this companies reviews I decided to part ways early in the process. I’d like to let you know that Cynthia did an excellent job with me throughout the process. I’m not the easiest person to deal with, especially when I’m out of my element. My guard was up and she had to deal with that and with a seller at the same time. I can’t speak for the seller but she did not push too hard but applied enough to get me moving in the right direction and there is nothing wrong with that. Sometimes it takes a little push, a little reassuring, and a little reasoning. She overcame my objections with a few items and was all over the punch list in making sure it was done in a timely manner and I truly felt she was looking out for my interests. She is one of the main reasons, along with this particular boat, why I went ahead with the purchase. She did an excellent job and I wanted to make sure you all knew that. You have a great employee and person in Cynthia and I wish her all the success in the industry! Thank you again!

We met Cynthia in our first week of getting serious about our search for a catamaran after she answered our inquiry on YachtWorld. We were met with wisdom from Cynthia. It really felt like we had a great broker on our side, plus the support of a team deeply entrenched in all things sailing and catamarans. Cynthia pulled some listings, made some calls, showed us some boats including two models that we were debating between, side by side, which was infinitely helpful. By the second day, she got us on the boat that we now call our home, a 2018 Lagoon 450F I realize that this is extremely fast and we are lucky, but it would not have been possible if Cynthia hadn’t pressed to get us on this boat for a showing. Cynthia knew that this was our first boat purchase and really guided us. When we put in our offer, we knew that this was the right boat and had a reasonable expectation of next steps and required work. She is very connected and linked us with the right specialists as we pursued some work to really make this cat ideal for our liveaboard cruising dreams. Cynthia will work hard to help you figure out the right catamaran for you and to make it yours. Working with her was a great experience and we highly recommend using Cynthia as your buying or selling broker.

Cynthia, It is with great pleasure that I write this letter on your behalf. Cynthia, you did an exceptional job at representing us for the purchase of our 65 Marquis Motoryacht. Even though we started off looking at catamarans in Florida and we had a deal go south, you never wavered in your commitment to find us the right vessel which ended up being in Michigan. In addition, you were very receptive to utilizing our local resources in Michigan to expedite the assessment of the vessel. It was only through your negotiations and prompt use of out-of-state resources that enabled us to be chosen as the buyer of choice. Your communication and attention to detail throughout this process was excellent. I always felt as though you had us as a priority. Thank you again for everything. We love our new motoryacht and would not hesitate to utilize you as our broker in the future. You truly are an amazing broker and person. Mandy and I consider you a friend and we look forward to seeing you again this winter at some point.

It is not easy to sell OR buy the boat of your dreams. But having a knowledgeable, well-connected, experienced, and active broker can make all the difference in this process. Cynthia Wummer proved this during 2 months of working with her on the sale of our Lagoon 380. She is experienced. Her many decades-long love of sailing and racing as well as her connections with the cruising community in FL and abroad is why we chose her to be our broker. From day one, Cynthia was actively involved with every aspect of familiarizing herself with our vessel and what it had to offer. Her understanding of what novice to seasoned sailors’ needs are to help them find the correct vessel, or what their vessel has to offer a new owner, was instrumental in this process. She is one of the most proactive salespersons we’ve met, being immediately on-top of every aspect we needed to do to ready our boat for the sale and through closing. We highly recommend Cynthia as a broker to use in either the sale or purchase of vessel of your dreams.

We want to applaud the exemplary service provided by The Multihull Company, especially our buyer's broker, Cynthia Wummer. We researched the benefits of using a buyer's broker and chose Cynthia because of all the glowing reviews from her clients. She has been working hard for almost 2 years to help us locate the perfect boat and we finally found it through The Multihull Company. We had contracts on 2 sailboats last year that didn't work out and Cynthia has been working tirelessly since May to help us close the end of July on our 2009 48 ft. Fountaine Pajot Salina. She contacted surveyors, mechanics and electricians in the area to point out problem areas and managed to get our cost reduced by a significant amount even though it reduced her commission. Cynthia cares about her clients and she did everything in her power to get the best deal for us. Although we had some misunderstandings on our part about the documentation on the boat, Andrew and his closing team were very patient with us and the closing was a painless process. We highly recommend them in buying your dreamboat.
