Used Catamarans under $100k for sale

Under a hundred thousand dollars is where most people's catamaran search actually lives, and it is the band the brochures pretend does not exist. The rule for this shelf is plain: a catamaran, twenty-eight feet or more, asking under one hundred thousand — the boats between one and two hundred thousand are their own shelf, and a beach cat is not what this question means.

What the money buys here is a different fleet from the band above. The modern production yards are almost absent; in their place are the classic British builders — Prout's mast-aft Snowgoose crossed more oceans in the eighties than most charter cats ever will, and small yards like Solaris built thirty-two-footers serious enough to sail themselves to Florida. Alongside them sit designer-drawn boats: a Richard Woods thirty at half the band's median, a custom John Shuttleworth at the top of it, both drawn by people whose names mean more to multihull sailors than any production badge. And threading through all of it is Gemini, the American yard that built a narrow-beam cat for a normal marina berth — which is why so many survive, and why two different Geminis sit on this page on purpose.

The honest trade at this money is age for hulls. Almost everything here was built last century, so the survey matters more than the spec sheet: bridgedeck slamming damage, bulkhead-to-hull bonding, chainplates, and the age of every wire and hose. The reward for doing that work carefully is the whole point of the page — level sailing, an anchorage-sized platform, and a way into catamaran ownership that does not start at a quarter million.

If the budget reaches six figures, the $100k–$200k shelf is where the production Lagoons and Prouts with newer systems live. If what you wanted was multihull stability at monohull money, the cruising sailboats under $50k include the folding trimarans that answer that question a third way.
