About
ALL US DUTIES PAID — MERAKI is a 2022 43' NEEL trimaran, custom-built exclusively for the 2022 Miami Boat Show and meticulously maintained by her sole owners. Selected for her renowned combination of speed, safety, and offshore capability, this NEEL 43 has undergone over $120,000 in thoughtful upgrades to support a true off-the-grid, liveaboard cruising lifestyle. Designed for independent, long-range sailing, MERAKI stands out as the only NEEL 43 in existence with a custom-built "sky lounge" seating area on the coachroof, inspired by premium catamaran designs. This unique space is perfect for enjoying sunrise coffees or sunset reflections while anchored in a remote bay.
Unlike many vessels that claim to be "off-grid capable," MERAKI truly delivers. Thanks to an advanced solar energy system, she requires no generator — with house batteries typically fully charged by 1 PM, even while running DC-powered air conditioning through the night. She only consumes fuel for docking and maneuvering, allowing for silent nights at anchor without the need for a diesel generator. Her current owners lived aboard full-time in the Caribbean for over a year, often choosing secluded, crowd-free anchorages, highlighting her autonomy and resilience.
As a performance cruising trimaran, MERAKI is remarkably fast, especially in light wind conditions. She comfortably sails at 6–7 knots in 10 knots of breeze, often achieving speeds within 3 knots of true wind speed, and hitting double digits when conditions allow. Numerous custom storage solutions and layout enhancements make her ideal for full-time liveaboards, minimalist sailors, or weekend adventurers seeking a balance between comfort, performance, and energy independence. With her unique features and extensive upgrades, MERAKI is a rare opportunity in the world of modern bluewater cruising trimarans.

Dear Cynthia and Andrew,
I wanted to extend my sincere thanks to both of you and The Multihull Company team for the outstanding job you did in successfully closing the sale of our Excess 14. Despite the challenging environment — including new import tariffs and unique buyer requirements — you navigated everything with professionalism, perseverance, and efficiency.
The transaction was completed smoothly and in good time, which is a true credit to your dedication and expertise. Very well done.
Thank you again, and I wish you all the very best.
Warm regards,
Jurgen
We had an outstanding experience working with Andrew Hodgdon. From the very beginning, he demonstrated deep knowledge of the catamaran we were considering and took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. He found us the perfect vessel that matched our needs and budget and negotiated a fantastic deal on our behalf.
What truly set him apart was he responsiveness—every question we had was answered promptly and thoroughly, and he guided us through the entire process with professionalism and care. We couldn’t be happier with the service and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated yacht broker.
Awesome company that worked as my brokerage on purchasing out FP catamaran. A special shoutout to Will Miller for walking us through the process
The process of selling our boat was made very smooth by the Multihull Company and Andrew Hodgdon in particular. Andrew helped us navigate the selling process including moving our boat from Grenada to Florida to execute the sale. We would recommend working with this company, and Andrew Hodgdon in particular, without hesitation.
Very smooth process. Chuck was great and very knowledgeable about the whole process. Im happy to have had TMC to take care of all the things i didnt know about.
