ILIAD Catamarans continues to consolidate its position as an emerging force in the long-range luxury power catamaran market with its appointment of Atlantic Yacht & Ship, Inc. as the brand's exclusive dealer in the United States and The Bahamas.

The new dealer appointment has been confirmed on the eve of ILIAD Catamarans' US debut at the 2024 Miami International Boat Show from 14 - 18 February where it will showcase the ILIAD 53F.

The appointment of Atlantic Yacht & Ship, Inc. is a key strategy in ILIAD Catamarans expansion into the broader international market after firmly establishing itself throughout the Asia Pacific region since its launch in 2019.

Atlantic Yacht & Ship, Inc. now exclusively represents ILIAD Catamarans in the United States and The Bahamas with their expansive team of professionals in various sales centres delivering an exceptional standard of client service.

ILIAD Catamarans general manager Michael 'Nod' Crook said Atlantic Yacht & Ship was selected as they have an established presence in North America's key boating centres, a huge database of qualified clientele and provide excellent after-sales support.

"Atlantic Yacht & Ship is driven by a dynamic and professional team who are committed to delivering a very high standard of service and support to ILIAD Catamarans clients throughout every stage of their purchasing and ownership journey," Michael said.

"They also have extensive experience successfully importing and selling other high-end luxury yachting brands into the United States, achieving strong exposure and sales.

"ILIAD Catamarans is experiencing astonishing interest from this North American market, and we are now looking forward to seeing our long-range luxury power catamarans on the water in this new region," he said.

Atlantic Yacht & Ship, Inc. is one of America's oldest and most respected suppliers of power and custom motor yachts. Incorporated in 1959, the company has more than 60 years of experience in providing unparalleled product knowledge and client support.

Chris Carroll, Atlantic Yacht & Ship, Inc partner, said the company was delighted to be selected as the shipyard's official dealer in the region.

"ILIAD Catamaran's commitment to quality, innovation, and owner satisfaction aligns perfectly with our own values, and we are confident that their exceptional catamarans will resonate with our clients who seek the ultimate yachting experience," Chris said.

Since the first model was launched in 2019, more than 25 ILIAD Catamarans have now been sold with its current range comprising the ILIAD 53S, ILIAD 53E (hybrid electric version), ILIAD 53F, ILIAD 62 and the new ILIAD 75.
