DISCOVER THE FUTURE OF LUXURY, SUSTAINABLE CRUISING WHERE DIESEL-ELECTRIC PROPULSION IS FUSED WITH EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE AND ELEGANCE.

iliad 53f offgrid hybrid electric luxury yacht power catamaran

The highly anticipated new ILIAD 53F OffGrid Hybrid is a revolutionary model that combines the award-winning design of the ILIAD 53F with advanced e-Motion hybrid technology to deliver completely autonomous, eco-conscious cruising without compromising performance or elegance.

Winner of the prestigious Multihull of the Year award, the ILIAD 53F has already earned a reputation for exceptional design, build quality and craftsmanship, and offshore capability with models sold throughout Asia Pacific, North America and Europe.

The new OffGrid Hybrid version elevates this legacy, incorporating a cutting-edge parallel hybrid propulsion system that allows seamless transition between traditional diesel power and silent, zero-emission electric cruising.

Equipped with powerful Volvo D6 480HP engines, high-capacity lithium-ion batteries and integrated e-Motion generator functionality, the ILIAD 53F OffGrid Hybrid offers extended range and dramatically reduced CO₂ emissions while providing near-silent navigation. Its innovative design includes an extended carbon-fibre roofline fitted with a 5kW solar array and 2.96kw of flexible solar panels custom fitted on the coachhouse roof to power all onboard systems and appliances.

This enables sustainable energy generation and true off-grid capability, with house loads—including air conditioning—operating for up to 24 hours on battery power alone, and rapid recharging from engines in under 30 minutes.

The new hybrid system introduces compelling advantages for owners, including significantly lower fuel consumption, reduced maintenance costs, and the ability to enjoy anchorages in complete tranquility without generator noise.

Engine hours can be reduced by up to 65% over a typical cruising season, dramatically cutting operational costs and extending service intervals. Owners also benefit from the reassurance of redundant drive and charging systems, ensuring confidence on long-range voyages.

While introducing this breakthrough technology, the ILIAD 53F OffGrid Hybrid retains all the hallmarks that define the series: expansive interior living spaces with panoramic windows, a gourmet galley featuring premium European appliances, and a master suite that occupies an entire hull with an oversized island bed, ensuite and generous storage.

The yacht’s thoughtful design ensures exceptional comfort for extended passages, complemented by one of the highest bridgedeck clearances in its class for superior offshore performance. Its expansive flybridge and cockpit offer multiple entertaining zones, while the tender platform doubles as a sunbathing area or safe sea access point for swimming and diving. The model’s upper structure and furniture are constructed in carbon to provide optimal strength and weight reduction as well as increased comfort at sea.

The launch of the ILIAD 53F OffGrid Hybrid signals the brand’s commitment to sustainable luxury yachting, with e-Motion hybrid technology now available across the ILIAD 53F, 53S, 60 and 75 models.

Unlike a standard diesel-powered catamaran, the ILIAD 53F OffGrid Hybrid combines conventional diesel propulsion with electric cruising, extensive solar generation and high-capacity battery storage. This allows owners to cruise near-silently under electric power, reduce engine hours by up to 65%, lower fuel consumption and maintenance costs, and operate onboard systems, including air conditioning, for up to 24 hours without the need for a generator. With rapid battery recharging, redundant drive and charging systems, and significantly greater energy independence, the OffGrid Hybrid offers a quieter, more efficient and sustainable approach to long-range cruising without compromising the luxury, performance or capability of the ILIAD 53F.
The ILIAD 53F OffGrid Hybrid can cruise approximately 20 nautical miles using electric power, making it ideal for short voyages with significantly reduced reliance on the diesel engines. This helps reduce engine hours, fuel consumption, emissions and ongoing maintenance costs. Alternating between diesel and electric propulsion, the ILIAD 53F OffGrid Hybrid delivers an unrivalled range of approximately 3,000nm. However, one of the greatest advantages of the catamaran’s e-Motion hybrid system is its ability to power onboard house loads, including air conditioning, without running a generator. This allows owners to enjoy quieter, more peaceful anchorages with no generator noise or local exhaust emissions, while enjoying greater energy independence.
The main physical difference is the ILIAD 53F OffGrid Hybrid’s extended carbon-fibre flybridge roof, which accommodates an expansive 5kW solar array, complemented by an additional 2.96kW of flexible solar panels around the coachhouse roof. Beyond the e-Motion hybrid system, extensive solar capacity and the elimination of a conventional generator, the catamaran retains the same hull design, expansive exterior living spaces and luxurious interior as the standard ILIAD 53F, with the same high-quality finishes, premium appliances and extensive bespoke customisation options.
