The recent Sydney International Boat Show yielded extremely strong results for ILIAD Catamarans with hundreds of visitors flocking to inspect the award-winning ILIAD 53F on display.
The luxury long-range power catamaran was arguably one of the most popular models on display at the event and impressed visitors with its extraordinary craftsmanship, living space and outstanding fuel efficiency.
ILIAD Catamarans general manager Michael Crook said the team is now negotiating a number of orders across the range following busy sea trials after the close of the show.
“The demand wasn’t just strong across our 53’ series, as we also had a lot of interest in our larger models including the ILIAD 62 and new flagship 75,” Michael said.
“The show was extremely strong for us and is a great testament to the features of our range with demand for our models defying the quieter market trends,” he said.
“Our team is now busy following up on a mountain of enquiry as well as dealing with the ever-expanding interest from new international markets, including the US and Europe.”
Established in 2016 with its first model launched in 2019, ILIAD Catamarans has swiftly become a leading force in the power catamaran market. With the brand firmly established in the Asia Pacific region, the company is now responding to very strong demand from international markets, fuelled by the ILIAD 53F recently winning the prestigious 2024 Multihull of the Year award.
ILIAD Catamarans appointed Atlantic Yacht & Ship, Inc as their exclusive US and Bahamas dealer earlier this year with an ILIAD 53F sold on the first day of the Miami Boat Show in February and the model set to be exhibited at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show from 30 October until 3 November.
“We have also just sold our first model into the European market – an ILIAD 53F to a client in Montenegro – and are fielding extraordinary demand for our range from power catamaran enthusiasts particularly in Turkey, Greece and throughout the Mediterranean,” Michael said.
“Following our attendance at the upcoming Cannes Yachting Festival, we expect to announce the expansion of our dealer network into Europe by the end of 2024,” he said.
“It’s a very exciting time for the company and we have just expanded our shipyard facilities to cater for the continued demand for our larger models, including the ILIAD 62 and ILIAD 75.”
The ILIAD Catamarans range includes the ILIAD 53F (flybridge version), ILIAD 53S (sedan version), ILIAD 53E (hybrid electric version), ILIAD 62 and the recently unveiled ILIAD 75 flagship model.
