ILIAD Catamarans Strong Performance

ILIAD catamarans has made a stunning impression on Asia- Pacific’s yachting scene with nine of the long-range performance power catamarans sold since the brand’s 2019 launch.

The ILIAD 50 was first of the range to be launched, and was unveiled at the 2019 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, with the inaugural model selling to a keen couple just minutes before its official christening. Four more ILIAD 50s have since been sold plus two ILIAD 70s following the larger model’s launch at last year’s Sydney International Boat Show. The upcoming ILIAD 60, due for release in late 2020, has already had two orders placed.

ILIAD catamarans CEO Mark Elkington said the brand’s first year results have been an amazing testament to the years of research and development invested in the range by its internationally accredited team of designers and naval architects.

“While we wanted to first and foremost create a range that allowed buyers to design a power boat that suited their unique needs without the exorbitant cost, we also have employed the finest minds in naval architecture to ensure each boat delivers outstanding passage-making performance”, Mark said.

“We set out to develop true long-range power catamarans that make no compromises, and each cat has been designed with an emphasis on safety, strength, stability and economy”, he said.

The catamarans are particularly unique in that clients are able to customise many aspects of their chosen model to reflect their individual style and needs but without the epic cost involved in changing aspects of most production and semi-production power catamarans.

Clients are free to choose their own preferred layout, interior finishes, electronics package, fabrics, engine options and more, at an extremely cost-efficient rate.

All of the ILIAD catamarans are also sheer achievements in power cat design, delivering safe and comfortable offshore performance with some of the longest-range capabilities in their market segment (2500 nm-6000 nm), he said.
