When you are in the market to buy or sell a catamaran, you are dealing with a highly specialized segment of the boating world. A standard monohull broker won’t always cut it.

Murray Yacht Sales stands out as a highly qualified broker for catamaran transactions for several key reasons:

1. Direct Brand & Product Expertise

Murray Yacht Sales is an authorized new boat dealer for Excess Catamarans. This gives them direct, factory-backed knowledge of catamaran design, multihull structural engineering, performance characteristics, and the nuances of the modern multihull market. Whether you are looking at a brand-new build or assessing a pre-owned vessel, they know exactly what to look for under the hood (and between the hulls).

2. Over 50 Years of Industry Staying Power

Established in 1974, the team has been operating for over five decades. In an industry where brokerages come and go, fifty years of continuous operation means they have navigated every type of economic market, regulatory shift, and industry trend. They know the Gulf Coast and international waters intimately, giving you an edge in finding or selling a boat suited for specific regional climates.

3. Top-Tier Professional Accreditations (CPYB)

Their team features Certified Professional Yacht Brokers (CPYB). This designation isn’t just a badge; it requires rigorous testing, extensive experience, and mandatory continuing education.

• Fiduciary Security: A CPYB broker maintains dedicated escrow/trust accounts to strictly protect your funds during a transaction.

• Industry Leadership: They are licensed Florida brokers and active members of the International Yacht Brokers Association (IYBA) and the Yacht Brokers Association of America (YBAA)—with leadership even serving on national boards.

4. Heavy-Hitting Marketing for Sellers

If you are looking to sell your catamaran, Murray Yacht Sales doesn’t just post a listing and cross its fingers. They utilize a highly aggressive marketing matrix:

• Maximized MLS Exposure: Listings are automatically pushed to heavy-traffic platforms, including YachtR, our industry-owner MLS.

• Digital Infrastructure: They employ targeted digital advertising (Google and Meta ads), photography, virtual tours, and regular campaigns sent to a massive, pre-qualified database of thousands of active boaters.

• Co-Brokerage Networks: They maintain stellar relationships with other global brokerages, instantly broadening your potential pool of buyers.

5. Tailored Advocacy for Buyers

When buying a catamaran, finding the right fit can be daunting. Murray Yacht Sales focuses heavily on a client-first philosophy—figuring out your “why” before trying to sell you on the “what.”

• Streamlined Closings: They utilize modern closing tools for secure, lightning-fast electronic signing, and have established relationships with specialized marine financing and insurance partners to keep the paperwork painless.
