Tao 452 Boat | 45' Custom 2025

The Multihull Company is excited to unveil the new Tao 452, an exciting addition to the world of blue-water performance cruising catamarans. Meticulously engineered and crafted to perfection, the Tao 452 is set to redefine the catamaran experience for sailors worldwide. Taking orders for availability in early 2025. 

If you've ever felt the need for more sailing performance from your current production charter catamaran or been disappointed by cramped living spaces in racing vessels, the Tao 452 is your answer. This exceptional catamaran has been expertly designed to strike the ideal balance between on-anchor comfort and on-water performance. It's swift, robust, secure, incredibly comfortable for extended stays, user-friendly to operate, and straightforward to maintain.

The Tao 452 represents a natural evolution from Hill's earlier 421 design, which later evolved into the Balance 451. With a slimmer hull fineness ratio, extended and sleeker bows and sterns, and the addition of dual high aspect ratio daggerboards alongside two shallow fixed mini-keels guarding her rudders and sail drives, the Tao 452 takes performance and comfort to new heights.

For those who share a genuine passion for sailing, who revel in mastering all points of sail, and who seek unwavering reliability even in the most adverse weather conditions—the Tao 452 is unequivocally the vessel of choice.

The Tao 452 is available for order today with delivery dates available in the end of 2024. Contact us today for more information on this new entry into the catamaran market.
