We take pride in our happy customers

Your team delivered on every mark. You’ve got an amazing broker in Mark Wattrus and I’m confident you will have continued success moving forward together. He was available 24/7 whenever I had questions. We had a great initial visit on the boat and his marketing plan and photos were superb

I bought a yacht that I had never seen. I did this because I trusted my broker Andrew Holland. It was not an easy job for Andrew, as I am an experienced boat builder and owner of previous yachts, but work in West Africa. Imagine how hard it was to communicate what I was looking for. Andrew came up with exactly what I wanted. He dealt with time delays, all my questions at odd hours, and was there for the survey. He reported honestly and professionally. After buying the yacht, I arrived at the boat on a Sunday night, after dark, after travelling from West Africa to the Caribbean, and found it was better than expected. He never pulled punches and made me aware of shortfalls. I expected to spend my one month leave working on the boat, but actually spent less than one week, and was able to spend 3 weeks sailing – wonderful bonus.

Thank you Andrew for putting up with all my questions, all my worries and all my crazy out of the time zone concerns – you were totally professional, but also I know that if and when we meet up, it will be like a friend finally meeting. You are always welcome on Aseka.

— Beverly Cory

Outstanding company with professional subject matter experts. If I were to buy or sell cruising sailboat, particularly a catamaran, Andrew would be my go to broker.

I have been sailing since I was a child and attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy. But when my wife and I began the process of purchasing an ocean cruising/racing catamaran, I realized that this is a world unto itself. Obviously, we needed to find someone knowledgeable to help us make an informed decision. More importantly, we needed someone honest and willing to put our interests before his or her own. I was lucky to work with Phil Berman at The Multihull Company. He repeatedly shunned the fast buck, choosing instead to work the long road to connect us with the “perfect boat”. I would be glad to recommend Phil and his company to anyone planning to purchase or sell a performance sailing machine.

— Eric Boutiette

Andrew Hodgdon was our broker when we bought our 2018 Lagoon 450F in Antigua in April 2922. He provided great service and was very attentive to our needs. We would highly recommend Andrew and the Multihull Company.

About Rubiyat

Rubaiyat Catamaran is one of the many famous Spronk designed catamarans of the Caribbean and the first original build of Peter Spronk.

Originally designed in the 70’s, this schooner rigged catamaran is legendary like all Spronk designs. Mainly known for their lightness and speed, having been built with specially designed plywood from the Netherlands. A unique innovation and proven a spectacular formula for these agile speedy yachts.

All Spronk designs are famous for having won many major Regattas since they were built. Out sailing by far many yachts, hours ahead of all, they are fun, fast, sleek and beautiful to watch.

Rubaiyat Catamaran only recently sails the waters of Aruba and is the most unique and prestigious addition to Aruba’s charter boat fleet.

So, what better way than to experience sailing upon one of these fantastic creations yourself, it is a dream come true.

Peter Spronk Catamarans

Discussion in ' Multihulls ' started by brian eiland , Mar 25, 2015 .

brian eiland Senior Member

Peter Spronk was a notable creator of fast and distinctively elegant catamarans, built in the Caribbean, where the designer intended them to be sailed. He was born in the Netherlands and moved to South Africa when he was 16, where he designed and built boats. In the 1960s he moved to the St Martin where he produced his best known boats, including BLUE CRANE, BLACK BEARD, MAHO, EL TIGRE, JOLLY MAN, RUBAYAT. PPALU, etc I found this group of photos languishing on an older computer of mine and figured they deserved a posting on this forum under their own heading

Interestingly I don't see many (any) fractionally rigged sloops in the whole bunch of these 'trade wind' sailing machines.  

Just found a few more,....also Eagle by his understudy Doggie Brooks

Peter Spronk built some really beautiful catamarans. I had the privilege of spending an afternoon with him in the late 70's at his shop and private chartering Maho on several occasions. Some of the best sailing I have ever enjoyed was bashing through the swells off St Martin at 20 knots. I have always thought the Spirit of St Christopher was one of the most beautiful sailing vessels of any kind, she was one of my favorites. His boats looked so sleek and the lapstrake construction gave them that low profile "going 20 knots at the dock" look. RIP Mr Spronk, may you and Dick Newick enjoy each others company swapping stories and laughing at us mere mortals.

Spronk head? I noticed some of these had a Spronk head. I saw a pic where it looks like it's just open to the water below. Is that what it is?  

Yes, just a hole open to the sea, works great
