The US boating market has enthusiastically embraced ILIAD Catamarans and its long-range luxury motor yachts, leading to the company expanding its activities in North America.
The power catamarans offer the longest range and best fuel efficiency in the market, as well as exceptional living space, exquisite craftsmanship and bespoke customisation options.
The brand is enjoying a remarkable increase in interest from the US market, and ILIAD Catamarans raised its presence in the region with attendance at the 2023 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show and will showcase the ILIAD 53F at the 2024 Miami Boat Show in February.
An ILIAD 62 has already been sold to a US buyer with the power catamaran “Sol Searcher” now taking her owners on a world adventure, recently crossing the Tasman to New Zealand from Brisbane.
ILIAD Catamarans general manager Michael “Nod” Crook said the interest from the US was not surprising.
“This region’s market has always appreciated power catamarans that can embark on long-range passages with power and speed, while also offering good fuel efficiency,” Nod said.
“The fact that ILIAD Catamarans also feature remarkable onboard living space and the highest quality of finishes is a huge drawcard for US buyers,” he said.
The ILIAD 53S is also very appealing to this market due to the popularity of the country’s inland waterways, such as The Great Loop, and the sedan design of this model allows for unrestricted cruising in optimal style.
The ILIAD Power of Choice allows clients to customise the layout, finishes and equipment of their yacht to make it truly distinctive. “Our sales team is extremely busy fielding enquiries from the US market across all our models, and we expect to see significant orders placed over the coming year,” Nod said.
“It’s an exciting stage of development for the company and a testament to the quality of our models and the exceptional standard of our client service,” he said.
