Located on the border between the French and Dutch side of the Island, The Multihull Company St. Martin in Oyster Pond is the ideal location for TMC clients to visit as the picturesque harbor provides great protection from the choppy Atlantic Ocean waters. Unquestionably this location is one of the best places in the world to list a catamaran for sale, or to haul, survey or maintain a catamaran as there are abundant marine services on the island.
The Multihull Company’s most active broker in St. Martin is Alexis de Boucaud, who splits his time between the TMC Fort Lauderdale office and his second home in St. Martin. Fluent in both English and French and the former director of Nautor’s Swan Charters on the island, Alexis has been listing and brokering yacht sales in St. Martin for over 15 years and brings experience and knowledge that is unmatched by other brokers on the islands. His ability to speak and write both French and English, and his deep understanding of the details of French yacht documentation and laws are invaluable to The Multihull Company’s many international buyers and sellers.
Alexis grew up racing dinghies in the waters of Brittany, France. He immigrated to the United States as a young man and developed his interest in offshore cruising and racing in New England and the Bahamas. He was educated in the United States and has since worked in the U.S., Europe and the Caribbean. Alexis began his professional yachting career as a charter captain sailing the storied seas of French Polynesia on a Fountaine Pajot Marquises 57 catamaran. There he developed a talent for sharing and communicating his love for blue water sailing to his worldly guests. More recently, Alexis spent ten years managing 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 sales 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. During this period of his career Alexis gained valuable experience in the multifaceted world of yacht sales and brokerage in the United States, Europe and the Caribbean. Alexis has worked with The Multihull Company since its earliest days working alongside founder Phil Berman to help serve customers around the world for over ten years.
Working with Andrew Hodgdon at The MultiHull Company was a great experience. Andrew has years of experience in the multihull market, especially performence catamarans and was the Technical Director at Balance Catamarans for many years. He’s always available to talk, guide and advise. He’s easy to work with, is extremely knowledgeable, and has a very pleasant way about him. I would highly recommend Andrew to help in your sale or purchase of any multihull.
Working with Will, Andrew Holland and Andrew Hodgdon to sell my Balance 442 was such a pleasure. No one knows multihulls as well as Andrew Hodgdon, especially performance cats like a Balance. As Technical Director of Balance for many years, Andrew knows all of the nuances of that type of boat, as well as the other brands in the category. If you want to sell or buy a catamaran, look no further than Andrew Hodgdon!
