Broker Overview

This 2018 Avenger Luxury Catamaran, 'THE ARK', presents a unique opportunity in the 80-foot segment. Designed as a coastal cruiser, its catamaran platform offers exceptional stability and vast interior volume, boasting 7 cabins, each with an en-suite head. This configuration is rare and highly desirable for specific use cases, whether it's extended family cruising, a boutique charter operation, or even as a high-end floating accommodation. Power comes from twin Cummins 6-Cyl 9L HP engines, which, with under 300 hours, indicate very light use since new. The reported 5500-mile range at 10 knots is a significant advantage, providing true long-distance cruising capability, far beyond typical coastal limits. While it lacks stabilizers, bow, and stern thrusters, the inherent stability of a catamaran mitigates some of these concerns, though close-quarters maneuvering will require a skilled hand. The fiberglass hull construction is robust, and the overall design prioritizes spaciousness and versatility. This vessel is not for every buyer, but for those seeking expansive living spaces, multiple private accommodations, and serious cruising range, 'THE ARK' offers compelling value.

Expert Review

The Avenger Luxury Catamaran offers a distinct proposition. Build quality, typical of a custom or semi-custom catamaran of this size, should be thoroughly inspected, particularly the fiberglass work and systems installations. Sea-keeping will be characterized by the catamaran's inherent stability, providing a comfortable ride in many conditions, though without active stabilization, some motion can be expected in beam seas. The twin Cummins engines are reliable workhorses, and their low hours are a significant asset, suggesting minimal wear. For a vessel of this size and capability, the asking price represents a strong value, especially considering its age and condition. A comprehensive survey should focus on structural integrity, engine diagnostics, and all onboard systems, paying close attention to plumbing and electrical given the number of cabins and heads. This is a purpose-built vessel, and understanding its intended use will be key to appreciating its design choices.
