Catamaran Plan?

NOY

Many of the best deals never hit the major sites. Chris sources off-market boats directly from local owners and brokers — many of the best deals never hit the major listing sites. Ask us about unlisted inventory.

Survey & Sea Trial

Never skip the survey. We help you find ABYC-certified marine surveyors and coordinate haul-outs. We also provide lifting strap diagrams and haul-out guidance specific to catamaran hull forms.

Closing Support

Texas Marine Title, escrow, USCG documentation, state registration — the paperwork can be overwhelming. We walk you through every step and connect you with closing professionals who specialize in vessel transfers.

Brokerage Services

Capt. Chris Block is a licensed yacht broker with The Multihull Company at Kemah Boardwalk Marina. Office: 281-408-4545. As your buyer's broker, he represents your interests at no cost to you as the buyer.

New Catamarans

Looking at new builds? We work with Lagoon, Fountaine Pajot, and other manufacturers. New boat purchases can involve different tax treatment, charter program options, and longer lead times — we help you navigate all of it.

Sanitize Your Fresh Water Tank

One of the first things to do after taking possession — the previous owner's water may have been sitting for weeks. Sanitize the entire fresh water system before drinking or cooking aboard.

• Mix ¼ cup bleach per 16 gallons of tank capacity
• Fill tank, run every faucet until you smell bleach
• Let sit 4–12 hours, then fully flush with fresh water
• Replace inline water filter after flushing

Never pour undiluted bleach directly into the tank — always dilute in a bucket first.

Find Your Marina

Catamarans need wide slips — typical cats are 22–28 feet wide. We've compiled slip rates and availability for Kemah area marinas including Kemah Boardwalk Marina (catamaran slips from $875/mo annual), Harbour Slip, and Houston Yacht Club.

Vessel Registration & Documentation

State registration vs. USCG documentation — what's right for you? We explain the differences, help you complete the paperwork, and make sure your vessel is properly documented for your intended use (liveaboard, charter, cruising).

Business & Legal Compliance

Filing your LLC, getting an EIN, and staying compliant is essential before taking payments or chartering. FileForms handles annual reports, registered agent services, and entity formation across all 50 states.

MMSI Number Transfer

Your boat's MMSI number is tied to its DSC radio and AIS transponder — it must be transferred to the new owner after purchase. We walk you through the Sea Tow/BoatUS and FCC processes. Don't skip this safety step.

Make It Your Own

New boat names, custom logos, vinyl lettering, and hailing port graphics. We connect you with Kima Coach and other marine graphics specialists in the Kemah area who work on catamarans regularly.

Safety Equipment Setup

Life raft, EPIRBs, flares, harnesses, jacklines, and safety inspection — ensure your boat is properly equipped before you leave the dock. We provide checklists and connect you with certified safety inspectors.

Navigation & Electronics

Transferring accounts for your Simrad/B&G chartplotter, updating charts, and setting up Navionics or OpenCPN on your devices. We help you get familiar with the electronics that came with your boat.

Engine Service

Yanmar and Volvo engines are most common in production cats. Typical service intervals: oil & filter every 100 hours, fuel filters annually, impellers every 2 years. We have Yanmar manuals and parts inventory lists on file.

Bottom Paint & Haul-Out

Annual haulouts for bottom paint are standard in Texas Gulf waters. Catamaran-specific haul diagrams — showing where lifting straps go — are critical. We keep diagrams for common cat models on file for survey and haulout.

Sails & Rigging

Inspect standing rigging every season, running rigging as needed. Sail covers, UV protection, and proper furling practices extend sail life significantly. We connect you with local riggers who specialize in multihulls.

Breakdown Support

Something broke? We help you find trusted marine mechanics in the Kemah/Clear Lake area who work on catamarans — not just monohulls. Twin-engine cats have unique troubleshooting considerations.

Tremate Maintenance Tracking

Tremate is a digital maintenance management system that tracks your boat's service history, sets reminders, and connects you with service providers. We help new owners get set up and trained on the platform.

Emergency Resources

BoatUS towing, Sea Tow, USCG contacts, and emergency anchoring procedures. We maintain an emergency resource guide for Gulf Coast waters and can help you understand your towing coverage options before you need them.
