Description

Step aboard the ILIAD 53F Offgrid Hybrid, a masterpiece of innovation. At 53 feet in length and boasting a 25-foot beam, this striking power catamaran combines the comfort of a luxury residence with the self-sufficiency of a true explorer. Designed for those who dream of venturing farther, staying longer, and leaving a lighter footprint, the 53F Offgrid Hybrid embodies the next generation of sustainable ocean travel.

Sleek lines meet practical innovation in the 53F’s design. Her extended flybridge roof supports a powerful 5kW array of solar panels, while an additional 2.45kW of flexible solar panels are seamlessly integrated into the coachroof, providing an impressive total of 7.45kW of renewable energy generation. This advanced solar architecture allows for extended time away from shore power, ensuring emission-free operation for long stretches of cruising.

The flybridge is an entertainer’s dream, complete with a molded GRP galley cabinet, sink, storage, refrigeration, and a stylish teak coffee table. A double helm seat faces the command center, featuring a Raymarine navigation suite and intuitive hybrid control displays. Overhead, the carbon fiber roof provides shade and solar efficiency, while the open aft deck welcomes you to relax and take in the panoramic views.

Wide, secure side decks with grab rails lead forward, while aft, the cockpit invites connection with the sea. The folding-edge teak dining table, Sunbrella-upholstered seating, and molded servery with a teak bartop make this the perfect space for alfresco dining. A swim platform with shower faucet and stainless steel davit system with electric winch ensures easy tender handling and water access, while the underwater lights illuminate the night beneath the hulls.

At the heart of the ILIAD 53F Offgrid Hybrid is its twin Volvo D6-480HP diesel engines, paired with an advanced parallel hybrid propulsion system. This innovative setup allows seamless transitions between traditional diesel and fully electric cruising, offering remarkable flexibility and efficiency.

Twin radial flux permanent magnet e-motion electric motors, powered by high-capacity lithium battery banks and managed through the E-Motion hybrid control panel, deliver smooth, silent propulsion for low-speed and in-harbor cruising. When combined with solar generation and battery management, the system can reduce fuel consumption and engine hours by up to 75% per season, dramatically lowering maintenance costs and environmental impact.

Supported by Victron Skylla-i battery chargers, Lynx Smart BMS, and a robust electrical system featuring dual shore power connections, galvanic isolators, and redundant converters, the 53F is engineered for true energy independence.

The result: electric operation for serene passages, extended range on hybrid power, and the reliability of Volvo diesel performance when conditions demand it.

Step through the sliding glass cockpit doors and into a world of luxury and comfort. The saloon is open, bright, and beautifully appointed with tempered glass windows, Amtico flooring, and synthetic leather upholstery. A dinette with two stools and a saloon coffee table with hidden storage ottoman create a relaxed social space, while a Fusion sound system, electric lift TV, and motorized blinds provide all the modern amenities expected of a luxury yacht.

The galley is designed for both convenience and style, featuring solid surface countertops, stainless steel sink, induction cooktop with range hood, fridge/freezer drawer, microwave/oven combination, and ample cabinetry for extended stays aboard. With a 70L drawer fridge/freezer and combination washer/dryer, the ILIAD 53F ensures home-like comfort on even the longest voyages.

Below deck, the three-stateroom layout showcases meticulous attention to detail. Each cabin is fitted with memory foam mattresses, manual blinds, and elegant finishes throughout. The heads are equally luxurious, each with electric macerating toilets, teak shower grating, solid surface counters, and fans for ventilation.

The master suite benefits from generous hull windows flooding the space with natural light, while guest cabins maintain the same level of refinement and comfort.

Built for ocean confidence, the 53F features stainless steel shafts, SeaStar power steering, Centek mufflers, dual Seafire automatic fire suppression systems, and engine room cameras for real-time monitoring. A vertical 2000W windlass with chain counter, Lewmar hatches and portlights, and Propspeed protection on all running gear highlight ILIAD’s commitment to quality and durability.

Comprehensive Raymarine electronics, including dual Axiom Pro 16" multifunction displays, autopilot, AIS, Quantum radar, VHF, fishfinder, and GPS, give captains complete confidence underway.

A 65,000 BTU chilled water air-conditioning system ensures comfort in any climate, supported by robust bilge, freshwater, and greywater management systems.

The ILIAD 53F Offgrid Hybrid represents more than a yacht, she is a philosophy of independence, innovation, and luxury. With its hybrid-electric propulsion, solar array, and long-range design, it enables owners to explore without compromise.

Capable of transoceanic range, fitted for liveaboard comfort, and ready for 2026 delivery, the ILIAD 53F Offgrid Hybrid stands as a symbol of the future: where adventure, elegance, and sustainability meet on the open sea.
