🚀 The Ultimate Catamaran Buyers Guide – No Fluff, Just Insider Knowledge!
Buying a catamaran is a huge investment, and one wrong move can cost you tens or even hundreds of thousands. That’s why I created the Catamaran Buyers Guide—a straight-to-the-point resource to help you make smarter decisions and avoid costly mistakes.
Inside, I share insights you won’t find anywhere else:
✔ The “Goldilocks Zones” – The best (and worst) boat ages to buy.
✔ Where to buy – The top locations for deals and challenges.
✔ How to handle brokers – Get the truth, not the sales pitch.
✔ Hidden maintenance traps – Spot costly refits before you spend on travel and surveys.
✔ And much much more
This isn’t just another sales gimmick—it’s the best complimentary resource in the world for serious catamaran buyers.

Catamaran Buyer Representation
Independent, conflict-free support from shortlist to early ownership
This service is for buyers actively shopping for a catamaran who want proper buyer-side representation — not sales pressure, fragmented advice, or commission-driven opinions.
​
I work alongside you throughout the buying process, from choosing the right model to negotiating the deal, interpreting surveys, planning refits, and settling into ownership.
​
What’s included
-
Model selection & suitability
Matching catamaran models and layouts to your sailing plans, crew, budget, and risk tolerance — including avoiding known problem designs and ageing traps. -
Budgeting & ownership planning
Purchase budgeting, refit timing and costs, and realistic expectations of ongoing ownership and cruising expenses. -
Active search & assessment
Shortlisting and comparison spreadsheet tools supplied, listing analysis beyond marketing photos, and identifying genuine value versus cosmetic presentation. -
Broker & seller engagement
Direct engagement with brokers and sellers to clarify vessel history, refits, and onboard equipment, and to negotiate pricing and terms on the buyer’s behalf, based on condition, refit risk, timing, and market reality. -
Offers, contracts & using an escrow (buyer-side)
Reviewing offer structure and key clauses, flagging risks and assumptions, and providing independent buyer guidance (not legal representation). -
Survey & refit assessment
Interpreting survey findings, separating critical issues from noise, and advising what to fix now, later, or not at all. -
Post-purchase & early cruising support
Refit prioritisation and practical guidance through the first months of ownership to reduce surprises and stress.
How it works
This service is offered on a monthly retainer because real value comes from ongoing involvement — not one-off calls.
Active buyers need listing reviews, pricing guidance, negotiation strategy, refit advice, and fast answers at the right moments. That level of support commonly exceeds 20 hours per month, which would be $2,400+ monthly if billed hourly.
Instead of hourly, the $995 retainer keeps advice proactive, independent, and focused on protecting your capital — often saving buyers tens of thousands by removing sales pressure and emotional decision-making.
