Web sites for selling a Cat

[FP38]

Any tips on good web sites to sell a catamaran (its in the Caribbean)

[Shrew]

These are popular sites:

yachtworld.com
boats.com

I'm not familiar with anything 'catamaran' specific. That might be slicing the cake a little thin.

This is what I was referring too by 'slicing it thin'. The entire site has about 40 boats on it. This is about as much exposure as a typical brokers site.

I have to respectfully disagree on this site.... its catamaran specific and sells a fair few of them quickly...

Multihull World are not a listing site but as the name suggests are agents specialising in multis and are big certainly in Europe with linked agents and contacts in many countries. They also own Broadblue and extensive knowledge of all multis. Currently over 200 multis on their list. Sold our last boat very quickly.

I'd say Catamaransite is good idea when selling small catamaran, because there are no brokers or big fees involved.

As someone whos is looking to buy a Cat sooner rather than later, catamaransite.com is the best I've come across. Most broker sites are astonishingly poor in comparison. For example Yacht World have brokers adding boats, with no description other than the address of the broker, or no image of than an external one of the cat sailing.

MultihullWorld in the UK is a half decent site/brokerage, but the images they use of the boats are taken by the owners and usually old. The descriptions are poor.

Multihullcentre has even less information.

Apolloduck seems good, but it all just depends on how much effort the owner goes to in the listing.

We have bought and sold a few catamarans over the years. The best site by far for us was sailboatlistings.com
