Catamaran & Trimaran Haulouts, Maintenance, and Refits

Work with us

Finding the right yard for a catamaran or trimaran can be a challenge. Multihulls require specialist handling, wider hardstand spaces, and a team that genuinely understands the unique structural and maintenance needs of wide-beam vessels.

At Quayside Boatyard, we have a long history of working with multihulls. We regularly look after catamarans and trimarans of all shapes and sizes, providing safe haulouts, premium antifouling, expert repairs, engineering, and full refit support from our Warkworth facility.

Whether it is time for your routine annual maintenance or you are gearing up for a serious offshore cruising season, we have the space and the expertise to keep your multihull performing at its best.

Supporting a Wide Range of Multihulls

We look after a broad variety of cruising and performance multihulls. Whether you sail a comfortable production cat or a high-performance, custom-designed blue-water vessel, we have the experience to handle it. We regularly work with:

  • Production Vessels: Lagoon, Leopard, Fountaine Pajot, Catana, and Outremer

  • Performance & Custom Builds: Schionning, Gunboat, Grainger, Roger Hill, and Chris White designs

No matter if your vessel is a production cruising catamaran, a performance multihull, or a one-off custom offshore cruiser, our team is ready to assist with haulouts, maintenance, repairs, and refit projects.

Why Multihull Owners Choose Quayside

  • One of the main hurdles for multihull owners is finding a yard that can safely handle their beam. Quayside is a popular choice because we offer a practical, owner-friendly space purpose-built to give your boat the room it needs.

  • Instead of coordinating multiple suppliers across different locations, you can access every core marine trade you need right through our single facility. It simplifies your project management, cuts down on downtime, and lets you make the most of your time ashore.

  • A large number of our multihull clients are preparing for extended coastal cruising, liveaboard life, or offshore Pacific loops. We know that when your next landfall is hundreds of miles away, reliability and safety are everything.

  • Prefer to do the heavy lifting yourself? Unlike many larger corporate yards, we welcome hands-on owners. You get the flexibility to work on your own vessel, with our experienced team right there if you need advice.

    • Lithium conversions and house battery systems

We also offer secure, long-term hardstand storage options to keep your vessel safe between cruising seasons.

Built for Cruising Catamarans

Catamarans have become one of the most popular choices for blue-water cruising across New Zealand and the Pacific. We regularly help multihull owners cross off their preparation checklists, including:

  • Pacific cruising preparation and safety compliance

  • Offshore passage proofing

  • Liveaboard comfort upgrades and solar installation

  • Insurance repairs and structural assessments

  • Pre-sale tidy-ups and detailing

Whether you own a Lagoon, Leopard, Fountaine Pajot, Outremer, Catana, Schionning, or a custom-built cruising catamaran, our team understands the importance of having your vessel 100% ready for the next adventure. By bringing every core service together under one roof, we help you complete projects efficiently so you can spend less time managing trades and more time enjoying the anchorage.
