ILIAD Catamarans will stage its USA Premiere at the 2024 Miami International Boat Show from 14 - 18 February with the ILIAD 53F on display.

The shipyard has enjoyed overwhelming interest from the US market in its long-range luxury power catamarans and is expected to draw strong crowds to view the ILIAD 53F at its display at One Herald Plaza.

The ILIAD 53F features one of the highest bridge deck clearances in its market segment, with a high freeboard to provide comfortable passage in challenging conditions.

The ILIAD 53F is powered by 440hp Volvo or Yanmar engines (Cummins optional) delivering a top speed of 21 knots (lightship), while cruising long range at low speeds will afford more than 3,135 nautical miles. This impressive model delivers outstanding range and performance to suit all cruising plans and boasts extraordinary volume.

The interior living space is unprecedented and comprises an expansive forward lounge, helm station (optional) and dining for 6-8 people. Accommodation onboard is generous and beautifully designed with the master suite encompassing an entire hull and featuring an oversized island queen bed, panoramic windows and spacious ensuite. Fitted with the finest European appliances, the galley is sleek and practical with its island bench, full-size refrigerator and freezer, and well-designed storage.

The motor yacht boasts exceptional outdoor space for entertaining and relaxing, and the cockpit features a bar area and dining setting for up to ten guests. The flybridge sets a new reference in use of space, features and comfort. The optional tender platform is ideal for safe sea access when swimming or diving and makes a superb sunbathing spot when the tender is deployed.

The ILIAD 53F on display at the Miami International Boat Show is fitted with Cummins QSB 6.7 550hp engines, and the catamaran is available for sale at the event for immediate delivery.

The ILIAD Catamarans range also comprises the ILIAD 53S, ILIAD 53 Hybrid, ILIAD 62 and the ILIAD 75.
