I am SO impressed!! This is our second visit to Just Catamarans. Our first visit 7 years ago was for the commissioning of our new catamaran where we added several upgrades to our sailing cat. That work was wonderful. So, when we were ready for our refit, we decided to come back. And once again, JC exceeded our expectations! From electronics to power, from the little aesthetics to heavy remodel items, not to mention their connections to specialized contractors, these guys know their stuff AND keep the work moving along on a fair timeline. I would not hesitate in recommending JC for anyone looking to get work done on their cat. Special thanks to Rafael, Andrew, Colt, Dennis and Dennis, Roman, Josiah, Ryan and Ryan, Chris, Lucas and the rest of the JC crew who worked on Boldly Go! Cheers!

Use them if you like to being lied to straight to your face and then have them renege on you quickly thereafter. Would never use them. Fortunately, I learned this about them on a small purchase before I spent tens of thousands on an aftermarket installation as others have. Caveat emptor!

Nothing but positive things to say about Just Catamarans! They helped us commission our brand new boat, and restored her to top condition after a direct lightning strike. We also added a ton of upgrades like water maker, lithium batteries and solar. Laurent reimagined our whole electrical system so the boat can fully run on batteries overnight. The whole crew is dedicated to quality work. What we appreciate most is the stellar communication, texts and calls are getting returned timely and without fail. Customer service is simply awesome. We had, and still have, a great experience with Just Cats, and recommend them highly!

I hope that your experience, if you choose to work with Just Catamarans, is much better than our experience. We spent $48,500 USD on service items with Just Catamarans, after we purchased our catamaran through Just Catamarans. Both the purchase and the service were handled very unprofessionally. The quality of the work was very low and we had to constantly follow-up. We tried MultiTech after our nightmare experience with Just Catamarans and were pleasantly surprised; we spent $6,068 USD with MultiTech. Good luck!

Thank you for your post. We cannot apologize enough for failing to meet your expectations during your recent stay with us. Please rest assured, we truly value your feedback.

I had an unknown alarm sounding in the salon area and I could not figure out where the sound was coming from. I called Laurent and he was able to walk me through a checklist to figure out the issue. Even though the alarm which was a water maker alarm was not part of his work he was able to point me in the right direction and the issue was resolved. Thanks for always being there to help . You are the best!

Laurent and the guys have again raised the bar and I call them the best of the best! Quick and professional work ethic and they get the job done the right way. I highly recommend Just Catamarans.

We used Just Catamarans to perform warranty work on our 2017 Leopard 51 powercat. We threw everything on the list of requests, from small items like countertop cracks to large fixes like our dinghy lift. Laurent Facchin was our project manager. After completing a week-long trip aboard our cat post-completion of the warranty work, I have nothing but good things to say about both Just Cats and Laurent: -- Most important, every item on our lengthy list was addressed. Nothing was overlooked. -- The workmanship was excellent. If you have used many boatyards, you know that work quality can vary. Just Cats' standards are high, and it showed in the quality of their work. -- Communication was great throughout the process. Sometimes we threw extra requests in and they were always responded to and handled. -- Turnaround was surprisingly rapid. Just Cats is a busy boatyard, and our work fell into their busy season, but all of the tasks were completed in time for my planned trip. Just Cats even cleaned the boat immediately prior to my arrival. -- Lastly, there was no quibbling over what constituted warranty work and what we needed to personally pay for. Both Leopard and Just Cats stand behind their product. I would give Just Cats 6 stars if Yelp offered an A+ ranking option.

Thank you for the kind words Jim - we are humbled to receive the 6-star rating. :) We are grateful to have Laurent on our team.

I first met Jim Ross when I submitted an offer for a 2006 Leopard 47 via email. As a career international airline pilot, I conduct most business via email as I am rarely in the same time zone as the company with whom I am dealing. Just Catamarans and Jim Ross made the purchase of our catamaran very smooth and my first offer was accepted via online document signing. Funds transfer via wire transfer was also very straight-forward and secure. We moved to survey and sea trial swiftly. I met Jim in Ft. Lauderdale at the boat with my surveyor and a seasoned delivery captain. It was immediately apparent that Jim was an expert in boating and catamarans especially. I was impressed with his easy personality and attention to detail on the catamaran. I came to JustCatamarans without a buyer's agent so he acted as mine. Although I was initially skeptical at being represented by the listing agent, Jim was an honest and impressive agent and acted ethically on my behalf and the seller's behalf. The generator would not run sufficiently to power any systems. After the initial offer to pay for a new fuel injector pump, I asked for a bore scope and compression test to evaluate the generator. He completed this quickly and determined the generator unserviceable and found a replacement bid with Just Catamarans maintenance side for $17,500. This was a big deal for me and I was impressed that Jim was an honest broker for both sides and found quick and reasonable solutions. The buyer only offered to pay half but Jim arranged for Just Catamarans to buy the other half to seal the deal. Wow, but that's Jim..honest, hard working and always finding solutions. After the sale, our experience remained positive and friendly with Jim. Jim graciously helped move the boat for repairs and coordinated dockage until we arrived for our summer aboard our new boat. When I arrived in Ft. Lauderdale with my family in tow, Jim was there to welcome and greet us aboard our new catamaran. Jim Ross is truly the best broker around and I highly recommend him. Thank you Jim for your outstanding professionalism, expertise in boating and friendly nature!

First thing I want to say is, I really wanted to be writing a very positive review right now. Unfortunately, my recent buying and service experience was a lot less than acceptable. Many promises and expectations were made and not kept of fulfilled. From small discrepancies in arguably insignificant closing fees, to substantial changes in tax liabilities and service costs. My last experience with Just Catamarans was a service on my saildrives (new seals and boots), repair of a small crack on a fiberglass hatch (which I removed and installed myself), and a minor fiberglass repair on my bow. Grand total was just over $4000. I was told it would be a little more than $2000, which was understandable. Upon complaint, I was told, "its all in black and white". "We gave you really good pricing". I was there personally for the entire service from beginning to end, from my observation, they are charging over $300hr for fiberglass repair and service. They wouldnt put my boat back in the water until I paid them. If you have doubts about my story, I intend to provide even more detail once we set sail. Part of me wants to forget about this experience, but I feel like people need to know the reality of Just Catamarans. They are not out for you best interests. They are simply used car salesmen taking advantage of people. Its been a horrible way to start what I have worked towards my entire life.

Thanks for your post. We cannot apologize enough for failing to meet your expectations during your recent stay with us. Please rest assured, we truly value your feedback.

ITS CHEAPER TO GET A PRO TO DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. Just Catamarans quoted us for the work we needed and then over-delivered at that same price. There was no extra hours tacked on at the end, no surprise costs or unexpected charges. Dealing with Just Catamarans was the absolute best transaction we've ever had with any repair of any kind. Laurent Facchin was our Service Manager and he made regular trips to the boat to check the work and spent as much time as we needed to understand the work. Every member of the team that showed up to the boat was professional, courteous and incredibly skilled with many years experience at that task. We had generator, battery, inverter and plumbing work and each tech was an expert in their field and understood our boat thoroughly. When you pay experts to do a job you end up SAVING MONEY because the job is done quickly and only ONCE. We've seen far too many other people stumble around the boat learning their trade at our expense. This is not the case when you hire a team that already understands your boat and the systems on your boat. Amazing is the only word that comes to mind. These guys are the best and their speed and expertise means you get high quality and high value.

I trust the team at Just Catamarans 99%. Nobody is perfect. Yes they may make a mistake now and again, but it's with the mistakes and solutions that you find the true integrity of a business. We have a Leopard 43 that we've converted from a coastal cruiser into a blue water voyaging vessel. With Kent's (the owner) watchful eye he's helped guide us to make the best decisions for our sailing needs. From solar install, to stainless work, to a complete navigation refit. Our first experience with Just Cats was about a year ago. They did the first wave of work before we sailed to the Bahamas. After 6 months of sailing in the Bahamas we chose to backtrack to Ft. Lauderdale to get one more wave of repairs and upgrades done before sailing to Panama. I guess that's the biggest compliment we can give to Just Cats: We trust the team enough to sail out of our way to come back...and we'd do it again. Now we are just a few days out from completing all our upgrades and our boat is (slowly) coming back to life. We're excited to hit the water again and we trust that all the work was completed to the best of their ability and to our 99% satisfaction. I would (and do) feel confident to recommend anyone with a Catamaran to come here for service.

Lagoon is a world leader in sailing catamaran cruisers. Lagoon has been building luxury catamarans since 1984 and has kept developing its offer to satisfy all your expectations with a range of boats including a full line of sailing catamarans as well a new line of motor yachts.

The first generation of catamarans was launched from 1987 to 1996 with the Lagoons 55, 47, 57 and 67: all ocean cruising private yachts. However, the Lagoons 37 and 42 were more suited to the charter market. The production was limited, but it established some strong guidelines by which the brand could be recognized from the outset: the high quality of design and construction with better than average performance.

These are still Lagoon's fundamental values.

1996 saw the launch of a new generation of Lagoons that took over the market immediately with the use of the following basic principles: maximum protection in the sun, maximum use of space available (hence the vertical cabin windows, now a Lagoon trademark), more comfort and paying careful attention to the trends set by the private customers.

Since 2003, Lagoon is the world dealer in cruising catamarans due to its innovative range and supportive distribution network. Today, Lagoon can boast to having 75 passionate catamaran specialists distributors all over the world. Lagoon Catamarans are enjoyed all across the globe by private owners and charter fleet operators.

As a Lagoon Catamaran dealer, The Catamaran company can provide you with the support and expertise to help you select your perfect yacht. Select a model to see more information and contact us today for more information.

Leave your cans out, park your truck: DeSantis signs bill to rein in overbearing HOA fines

Hoa directors, managers have new education requirements.

Florida residents with oppressive and obsessive HOAs , your day of freedom may be at hand.

Homeowner associations (HOAs) were created to maintain standards, uniformity and a sense of community while collecting dues to pay for common areas, services and general neighborhood improvements. But they also tend to attract people with strong opinions about what their neighbors can do.

It seems that everyone who has lived in an HOA has  a horror story  about petty or arbitrary  fines that keep increasing, harassment, inflexible and overly  restrictive rules  regarding the appearance of homes and lawns, the lack of budget transparency, or just the ongoing grind of living under the watchful eyes of HOA  busybodies  with tape measures and a lot of free time who care deeply about where you park.

A new bill, signed Friday by Gov, Ron DeSantis, may change all that when it takes effect July 1. Or at least make life a little more manageable.

HB 1203 , Homeowners' Association, was just one of several HOA bills introduced in this year's legislative session but it may be the most sweeping one, amounting to essentially a Homeowner's Bill of Rights. Under state law, HOAs will be restricted from some of the most complained-about rules and fines and required to be more transparent. This law comes just after another one forcing HOAs to allow homeowners to harden their homes against hurricanes.

Here's what changed.

What Florida HOAs can't do to homeowners anymore

As of July 1, 2024, HOAs will be prohibited from:

• Enforcing rules on some residents but not others
• Banning homeowners or their invited guests from parking personal, business or first responder vehicles (including pickup trucks) that are not commercial vehicles in their driveways or any other area where they have a right to park per state, county and municipal regulations
• Banning contractors or workers from the homeowner's property
• Fining residents for leaving garbage cans at the curb or the end of their driveway within 24 hours of a scheduled trash collection
• Fining residents for leaving up holiday lights or decorations past the HOA's rules without prior notice, after which the homeowner will have one week to take them down
• Limiting or creating rules for the inside of a structure that isn't visible from the street, a neighbor's property, an adjacent common area or a community golf course
• Banning vegetable gardens or clotheslines, if they can't be seen from the street, a neighbor's property, an adjacent common area or a community golf course
• Require review and approval of plans for central air conditioning, refrigeration, heating or ventilation system that isn't visible from the street, a neighbor's property, an adjacent common area or a community golf course and is similar to previously approved systems

If a construction or improvement request is denied, the HOA also must provide written notice "stating with specificity" exactly why and under which rule or covenant.

Law requires HOA transparency

Every HOA must keep its official records (bylaws and amendments, articles of incorporation, declaration of covenants, current rules, meeting minutes, insurance policies, contracts, financials, budgets, tax returns, voting records, etc.) for at least seven years. Destruction of accounting records within that time is a first-degree misdemeanor.

HOAs with more than 100 parcels must post all of their rules, convenents, budgets and related documents on their websites by Jan. 1.

HOAs must provide notice and agendas for any scheduled meeting of its members at least 14 days in advance in plain sight on its website. Any document to be considered and voted on must be posted online at least seven days before the meeting.

An HOA with at least 1,000 parcels must prepare audited financial statements.

Official records must be made available to a parcel owner within 10 business days of receipt of their written request, with some restrictions on how many physical copies are permitted, or the HOA must pay damages. Violation is a second-degree misdemeanor. Refusal to comply with the intent of avoiding criminal investigations or punishment is a third-degree felony.

If an HOA receives a subpoena for records from a law enforcement agency, they must provide a copy or make them available for copying within five business days.

Every three months, a homeowner may make a written request for a detailed accounting of any and all money they owe to the association related to their parcel, and get it within 15 business days. If the board does not comply, any outstanding fines the person owes older than 30 days that they never received written notice of will be waived.

HOA director education, and bribes

A newly elected or appointed director must complete education on financial literacy and transparency, recordkeeping, levying of fines, and notice and meeting requirements within 90 days and repeat it at least every four years.

On top of that, the director of an HOA with fewer than 2,500 parcels must complete at least four hours of continuing education every year or be suspended until they do.

An HOA officer, director or manager who solicits offers or accepts kickbacks commits a third-degree felony and must immediately be removed from office.

HOA managers or management firms have to be involved and easy to find

An HOA manager or a representative of the HOA management firm must:

• Attend, in person, at least one annual member or board meeting
• Provide the name and contact information for every HOA manager or management form rep assigned to the HOA along with their hours of availability and a summary of their duties, which must be posted to the HOA's website and kept current
• Provide a copy of the contract between the manager or management firm and the HOA and keep it with the HOA records
• Complete at least five hours of continuing education on HOAs, with three hours relating to recordkeeping

What are HOAs?

A Homeowner's Association or HOA is an organization in a planned community, neighborhood subdivision or condominium building that creates and enforces rules for the properties, residents and guests. It charges fees to be used for the maintenance of the community and may levy fines against residents who violate the rules.

HOA rules are often in place to maintain conformity among the permitted architecture, color schemes, landscaping and decorations. HOAs also enforce parking restrictions, noise complaint policies, home occupancy limits,  vacation rentals  and more.

Anyone buying property within the jurisdiction of an HOA automatically becomes a member of the HOA and subject to its restrictions and covenants.
