A 60-foot platform with multihull volume
The ILIAD 60 uses its beam to create large saloon, accommodation and exterior areas without moving beyond LYG’s 24-metre ceiling. For owners comparing monohulls and power catamarans, the difference in usable floor area can be substantial.
That extra volume can support longer periods aboard, but buyers should also consider berth width, marina availability and handling in crosswinds. Those practical points often matter more than headline square footage once the yacht is in regular use. That practical distinction is worth checking in person because it can change how easily the yacht or service works in normal ownership.
Flexible layouts are part of the proposition
ILIAD promotes configurable accommodation and living areas rather than one fixed arrangement. That allows buyers to tailor cabin count, galley placement and social spaces around family use, guests or extended cruising.
Customisation at production-yacht scale can be valuable when an owner has a clear brief. Buyers should still consider resale appeal and service access before moving too far from standard configurations. Buyers should also compare the detail against their normal cruising area, annual use and access to local technical support before deciding.
Long-range cruising drives the concept
The model is positioned as a capable cruising power catamaran rather than a high-speed day boat. Fuel capacity, efficient running and living space are therefore more central to the design than maximum speed.
For owners planning Bahamas, Caribbean or coastal US cruising, the combination of range and redundancy across two hulls may be attractive. It also supports longer periods at anchor where domestic capacity and storage become increasingly important. The strongest specification is the one that fits how the owner actually cruises, rather than simply carrying the longest equipment list.
Fort Lauderdale delivery adds market visibility
The listing says the yacht is expected to be available in time for FLIBS 2026, giving prospective buyers a near-term opportunity to inspect the platform in one of the world’s largest powerboat markets. That timing can help buyers compare the ILIAD directly with competing multihulls.
At $3.78 million, the yacht sits among serious premium cruising options. A buyer should assess build specification, final equipment and commissioning status carefully before treating the listed price as directly comparable with already-delivered yachts. A careful inspection remains important because condition, installation quality and service history can materially change the ownership case.
