2011 PRIVILEGE 495 Owners Edition Comparar

Built by Privilege Marine in 2011, Evolution is a 14.93 m sailing catamaran that combines proven offshore capability with thoughtful modernization. This owner's version represents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established design that has been substantially upgraded with over $500,000 invested in systems, power generation, and mechanical accessibility—all focused on extended, self-sufficient cruising rather than cosmetic enhancement.

Evolution is configured with two cabins, offering a spacious owner's suite with king-size bed and private head, plus a guest cabin with en suite facilities. The solid fiberglass twin-hull design delivers shallow 4.5-foot draft—ideal for Bahamas and Caribbean exploration. Twin 55 HP Volvo diesel engines with recently rebuilt saildrives (August 2025) provide reliable propulsion, while the vessel features a comprehensive refit program including four new air conditioning units, a new lithium battery system with inverter/charger, four 550W bifacial solar panels on a custom stainless steel transom arch, a new watermaker, and a Starlink Performance Gen 3 satellite internet system. Deck equipment includes new electric winches, an all-new cockpit enclosure with mesh panels and Eisenglass windshield, fresh anchor chain and two stainless steel anchors, plus a 10-foot rigid inflatable tender with 20 HP Yamaha outboard.

Evolution suits experienced sailors and established cruising couples seeking a shallow-draft catamaran capable of extended periods at anchor away from marinas. The 2011 design and modest engine hours (4,500) combined with documented mechanical upgrades—including new saildrives, soundproofing, hatch lids, and professional propane system work—reflect owner commitment to durability and reliability over years of private use. The comprehensive solar, battery, and watermaker setup enables weeks of autonomous operation in remote anchorages.
