ILIAD Catamarans celebrates stunning collaboration with Baz Yacht Design

ILIAD Catamarans has unveiled imagery of the first ILIAD 53F OffGrid Hybrid, featuring a striking bespoke interior design by BAZ Yacht Design.

The inaugural hull of this groundbreaking model was commissioned by a private client and showcases a fully customised interior by the multi-award-winning design studio.

The result is a refined contemporary aesthetic defined by crisp tones, distinctive design elements and a thoughtfully considered layout that enhances both comfort and functionality.

Developed in close collaboration with ILIAD Catamarans, the interior design by BAZ Yacht Design introduces a refined design language, combining material clarity, spatial balance and a warm, liveable atmosphere.

Highlights include a redesigned master cabin and saloon, modular furniture throughout, and a sophisticated ambience characterised by light, space and modern elegance.

Internationally recognised for its design excellence, BAZ Yacht Design has delivered numerous projects for leading yachting brands worldwide. Bringing its discerning creative vision to the first ILIAD 53F OffGrid Hybrid, the studio applied its signature hands-on approach and deep maritime expertise, providing a complete design solution from early concept through to full interior execution.

BAZ Yacht Design has received multiple prestigious international accolades, most recently the 2025 International Yacht & Aviation Award in Monte Carlo for Interior Design Under 40 Metres. Each project reflects a commitment to timeless aesthetics, performance and life at sea.

Bilge Zaptçıoğlu Atal, co-founder and Head of Interior Design at BAZ Yacht Design, said that developing the first interior for this new model has been a meaningful process for the company.

“Our aim was to define a refined and contemporary interior identity for ILIAD Catamarans —one that feels calm, balanced and deeply connected to life at sea,” Bilge said.

“We value our collaboration with the ILIAD team, and their openness to design and commitment to quality allowed us to create a cohesive design language where materials, light and spatial flow come together naturally,” he said.

“The result is an atmosphere that is both contemporary and timeless, designed not only to be seen, but to be truly lived at sea.”

This exceptional collaboration will be revealed to the world at the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival in September, marking the global premiere of the ILIAD 53F OffGrid Hybrid.
