Annapolis, Maryland has long been referred to as the “Sailing Capital” of the United States. As a hotspot destination for sailing, Annapolis offers fishing excursions, private charters and overnight cruises for residents and travelers alike. It is often said that “All roads in Annapolis lead back to water”. Annapolis also houses BWI airport and is a great central hub to explore the surrounding areas of both Washing D.C. and Baltimore.
Helming TMC operations in Annapolis is Karl Reed, an RYA 200T Certified Captain and PADI Divemaster. As a kid, Captain Karl spent his formative years going to sailing camps along the Potomac River, near Washington, DC, and eventually transitioned into teaching at them as a summer job. Karl acquired his yachting license at the age of 18 in Cape Town from legendary Offshore Sailor & Clipper Skipper, David Immelman.
Training with Immelman further cemented Karl into sailing and eventually catapulted him into running an Expedition Yacht in the Indian Ocean & Northern Madagascar. From there, Karl gravitated back to sailing performance catamarans around the US East Coast & Caribbean, along with trans-Atlantic trips to Northern Europe. After years in the industry Karl has garnered a great group of friends and resources which have helped him continue to be able to sail, manage, & broker vessels around the world.
Captain Karl is perfectly positioned in this market to facilitate dockage as well as help to source, purchase or even sell your current catamaran. Give Karl a call next time you’re in town or looking for a new broker in the surrounding area at 703-350-8160.

Zvonimir, or “Ze”, comes from the Island of Krk, the largest Croatian island. As he has always been adventureous, the coast of the Adriatic Sea was the perfect location for various hobbies that have now become his profession.

After completion of Nautical University in Dubrovnik (diploma in Maritime Technologies of Yachts and Marinas), he found his first job on a 60 meter luxury yacht. From then on, he has worked for years on many private and charter yachts which were cruising the Adriatic and the Meditteranean.
After many years of yachting life he decided to further develop his skills and to use his knowledge in the area of Marine Surveying. For the last couple of years he was involved in various surveying areas such as special marine inspections, cargo damage surveys and of course surveys of yachts and small crafts. Zvonimir owned and managed the company, AS Adriatic, and his work was recognized by leading P&I Clubs and insurance companies.

Chrystal started sailing with Chris in 2004 on Lake Coeur d’Alene in Idaho on a 35′ Hunter “Gabiano”.

Assisting customer around the Indian Ocean is helmed by TMC agent Max Bonieux, who grew up on the island of Mauritius where his family has been established for many generations. From an early age Max was comfortable on the water and was regularly seen racing Hobie cats, kitesurfing, fishing, surfing and freediving. The sea was his playground.
As a young adult, Max studied accounting and finance in Australia for four years before returning to his home country and starting his own self-storage business. At 30 years of age however, the siren song of the sea once again called to Max where his strong passion for offshore passages propelled him to begin a circumnavigation aboard his Delphia 40, “Alalila”. During this circumnavigation, Max visited several locales within pristine waters of the Indian Ocean, specifically, Mentawai, Chagos, Seychelles, Madagascar, and St. Brandon (Islands NE of Mauritius).
After crossing the Atlantic from South Africa, Max focused on skippering luxury charter catamarans. Currently, Max owns and operates a kitesurfing school and is keeping his childhood love alive. At The Multihull Company, Max wants to use his lifetime of skills, knowledge, and passion to serve people from his home Island of Mauritius where he is dedicated to assisting clients around the waters of his home country.
Mike is a 100T USCG captain and has most recently worked for SeaTow, where he handles assistance towing and recovery work. As a liveaboard and longtime sailor, Mike has a plethora of experience from which to draw. Now at TMC, Mike wants to use this vast knowledge to help his customers purchase or sell their catamaran, as well as offering his help finding docking in New England. If you are traveling to Newport, Camden or any of the other beautiful sailing hubs in New England, give Mike Rybas a call at 267-324-9067
