Buying a Catamaran? Watch This First (Avoid a $150K Mistake)

Thinking about buying a catamaran? Watch this before you make an offer. It’s surprisingly easy to make a $150,000 mistake when buying a used cruising catamaran — and most buyers don’t realise where the risks are until 6–24 months after ownership. In this video, I break down what actually happens after you buy — the part that listings, brokers, and even surveys often don’t fully reveal. You’ll learn: • Why focusing on price layout, cabins, and cosmetics can lead you in the wrong direction • The real drivers of long-term ownership cost (systems, refit cycle, maintenance history, structural issues) • Why a “survey” alone is not enough to protect you • Where buyers typically lose $20K–$150K+ in this process • What most owners only realise after they’ve already bought This isn’t theory — it’s based on my own experience owning upgrading and refitting a Leopard 48 for seven years and working with buyers navigating these decisions in real life. ________________________________________ 🚨 The Reality A catamaran isn’t just a purchase — it’s: • A maintenance profile • A refit timeline • A cost structure And most of those decisions are made before you even make an offer. ________________________________________ 🎓 Coming Soon Online Course_ How to Buy a Used Cruising Catamaran (Without Making a $150K Mistake) I’m building a practical online course that shows you: • How to properly evaluate a catamaran before making an offer • How to compare boats using a structured assessment process • How to understand model risks, systems, and refit cycles • How to avoid overpaying and making emotional decisions • Examples upgrades and repairs from my leopard 48 This is the same framework I use with consulting clients — turned into a system you can use yourself. 👉 Join the Early Access List The course is launching soon. 👉 Join the early registration list below 👉 Receive a limited launch offer when it goes live https://www.catamaranmentor.com/buy-used-catamaran-course ________________________________________ ⚓ Final Thought Most buyers: • Move too fast • Learn too late • And pay for it in time, stress, and money Slow the process down.
