Do you really want to sell your multihull and think you just spread your ad over various catamaran groups on Facebook is going to do it???

You may be lucky, if a buyer trips over a log and spots your ad before they hit the ground, maybe, but the trouble is that placing your ad on all these groups alone normally does not cut it. Try it and see!

Your ad has a very small window of opportunity for you or any potential buyer!

Unless you post every day your ad will disappear day two amongst the traffic. (Most Groups will limit you placing one or two posts per week)

If you place your ad on our group on Monday for instance (chances are you have also placed it on other Groups at the same time) normally your ad by the end of Tuesday afternoon is at least 20 ads down the list. We approve between 10 and 20 ads every day that's 20 - 40 ads in front of yours, In the space of one week 120 - 240 ads in front. Any Buyer looking for a catamaran will lose yours amongst the flow of traffic. This includes BROKERS.

This is certainly confusing activity with productivity!

Sure the Broker places your boat's ads over the Groups, fires and forgets thinking he or she has done their job, place it on one of the big platforms like Yachtworld etc.

Everyone and their dog (or cat) is developing a Platform with the help of A.i. at the moment, just like us trying to tempt people and Brokers to advertise on their platform.

This is why we have developed our own Platform to run alongside our long established Facebook Group, which solely specialises in Catamarans and Trimarans both power and sail with 35 years of experience dealing with Multihulls. We are also currently the largest Group on Facebook specialising in Multihull sales growing by 100 members per week on average so buying or selling we are becoming the go-to Platform growing as fast as the Group.

Your ad stays permanently on view until sold, no endless scrolling to find the ad that you saw a few days ago, check out our STATS for last month for instance:

13,580 combined page views across our two websites (7 August–3 September 2026)
9,288 website sessions in the same period
2,493 newsletter subscribers
More than 132,000 members in our Facebook group

(These figures are separate measures, not a combined audience total.)

We now have a dedicated team to process your ads constantly monitoring both the Group and the Platform ensuring the Group is not plagued with ads for Sofas, Cars, Fridges, furniture and irrelevant content.

We offer 3 Mediums to Buy or sell your catamaran, The Facebook Group, driving members to The Platform www.catamaransforsale.net or Our Worldwide Brokerage www.worldwidecatamarans.com charging only 5% Commission working with you as our Co-Broker saving you 50% in commission fees.
