Drawing the line between a classic Greek poem and a modern line of powercats might seem a difficult thing to do, but step aboard ILIAD Catamaran’s 53F and suddenly it all makes sense.

We have a 75 to talk about, and it is no ordinary 75-footer. LOA always allows for grace and style, even when you are straight and adroit, as such.

Explore the ILIAD 62 in this walk-through tour by the We Love Boating team at the 2024 Sanctuary Cove Boat Show.

Take a walk-through of the award-winning ILIAD 53F at the Sydney International Boat Show with the team from I Love Boating.

For my money though, the standout feature among many on the ILIAD 53F is the booming volume of available stowage.

Mid-20 knot speed, long range and volume to spare help define the ILIAD Catamarans’ 53F. By Marilyn DeMartini.

“Homer’s ships are legendary for their long-range capabilities and commanding performance, and this resonated with us as, in addition to luxury and quality, these are some of the defining features of our range of catamarans.”

“This hardy power cat is ready for action on or off the grid.” Passagemaker recently reviewed the ILIAD 53F for the cover of their US magazine.

With only a few models in its catalog and less than 10 years in business, the shipyard has already built up an excellent reputation. A success that owes nothing to chance, as demonstrated by the new 53F, just elected Multihull of the Year in the Multipower category.

This is a posh distance cruiser designed for living aboard while globe-trotting and will appeal to those who take voyaging seriously.

When we heard that ILIAD is coming to America and bringing their 53F (Flybridge) model, we absolutely had to show it to you! Enjoy the Tour!

Launched in 2019 with a range of models to suit different budgets, ILIAD Catamarans has already established a second yard to meet demand, and looks like becoming “the next big thing” in the bespoke powercat market.

The first thing that impresses me when I step aboard a powercat is the volume compared to a monohull. This starts with an expansive cockpit and outdoor spaces, to the saloon that utilises the extra wide beam that a powercat gives.

Power catamarans are the fastest-growing sector in the boating market, for some very good reasons. Reasons like frugality, comfort – and for adventure cats like this ILIAD 53 Sport – long-range capabilities.

Define your very own escape capsule, with this latest explorer-style ILIAD 62, that can be customised to your adventure needs, reports Kevin Green.

Ancient Greek poet Homer has already made his mark in boating circles with the voyages of Odysseus in ‘The Odyssey’, so it is perhaps fitting that his other epic, ‘The Iliad’, should now carry his flag forward.
