Broker Overview

This 2026 ILIAD Catamarans 53F, a new vessel, represents a compelling option for serious cruising enthusiasts. As the 2024 Multihull of the Year Winner, the 53F is engineered for robust offshore performance, evidenced by its exceptionally high bridgedeck clearance and high freeboard, crucial attributes for challenging sea conditions. Power is provided by twin Cummins 6.7 HP engines, offering reliability and a substantial 2,500 nautical mile range. The layout features three well-appointed cabins and three heads, making it suitable for extended family cruising or entertaining guests. Notable design elements include a spacious cockpit and a dedicated flybridge, enhancing both onboard living and operational comfort.

As a new build, some buyers prefer a vessel with established owner feedback beyond initial reviews.

Expert Review

The ILIAD 53F, as a new build and a recent award winner, presents a strong case for buyers seeking a robust, long-range cruising catamaran. The fiberglass hull construction, combined with its high bridgedeck clearance, suggests a vessel designed for serious offshore work and comfort in a seaway. The twin Cummins 6.7 HP engines are a reliable choice for this platform, providing the necessary power for its stated 2,500 NM range. For a new vessel, the asking price of $2,275,000 is competitive for a 53-foot catamaran of this caliber, especially considering its offshore capabilities and included features like the hydraulic platform and watermaker. In a survey, focus on confirming all systems are commissioned correctly and to specification, as with any new build. Compare this vessel against alternatives like Leopard or Aquila for build quality and interior volume; the ILIAD often stands out for its robust construction and practical cruising features.
