Inaugural ILIAD 53F OffGrid Hybrid set for delivery
The first hull of the groundbreaking new ILIAD 53F OffGrid Hybrid is now preparing for delivery, with her excited owners making plans to begin their cruising adventures in the Mediterranean.
Marking a major milestone for ILIAD Catamarans, this pioneering new model has already captured worldwide attention for its remarkable capability, efficiency and long-range cruising potential.
Engineered for greater freedom on the water, the ILIAD 53F OffGrid Hybrid combines an impressive 7.45kW solar array with an advanced e-Motion hybrid system, allowing owners to seamlessly switch between diesel and electric propulsion. The result is reduced engine hours, lower emissions, extended range, and the ability to enjoy pristine, pollution-free anchorages in near silence.
Designed with comfort and peace of mind front of mind, the system also enables tranquil nights at anchor in air-conditioned comfort without the need for a noisy generator. Fast battery recharging and fully redundant systems further enhance onboard confidence, delivering exceptional autonomy for adventurous cruising.
With plans now under way for the world premiere of the ILIAD 53F OffGrid Hybrid at leading European boat shows in late 2026, excitement around this extraordinary model continues to build.
Stay tuned for more details or get in touch with your local ILIAD dealer to learn more.
