Escape is a stunning 16m power catamaran, thoughtfully designed by Roger Hill and reputably built by Pachoud Yachts, showcasing the best of New Zealand design and engineering. Combining exceptional style, functionality and performance, she’s an entertainer’s dream with her light-filled interior, spacious galley and covered cockpit. Four well-appointed cabins offer ample room for friends and family to enjoy every adventure in comfort.
Refitted to perfection in 2016 by Pachoud Yachts, Escape incorporates modern upgrades and innovations. Her transom was remodelled, the flybridge deck extended and her propulsion system repowered with new engines and converted to shaft drives for enhanced reliability and efficiency. Constructed with durable eGlass and a plywood core, she offers exceptional strength, efficiency and seakeeping capabilities, cruising effortlessly at 20 knots.
Escape is powered by twin Cummins QSB 6.7 (550hp) diesel engines with 1,400 hours, delivering reliable and economical performance. With touches of luxury including a Panda 8 kVA generator, water maker and dive compressor to name a few. A further upgrade with her complete rewiring to the advanced CZone system provides seamless control of onboard systems.
The Simrad electronics suite, including radar, autopilot and multifunction displays, ensure confident navigation. Escape also features a plug in docking controller alongside electronic steering and throttles for precise handling. In 2019, the cockpit interior was redesigned, adding a modern seating arrangement with entertainment in mind, making the space fully enclosed and even more inviting to all those onboard.
With the ability to make the voyage across to Australia she is an attractive vessel that has been built and maintained to commercial standards, with last survey completed in October 2023. Escape offers the perfect blend of luxury, versatility and capability. Whether cruising with family or operating as a luxury charter, Escape is the ultimate platform for your next adventure.
