From 50 feet upwards, a multipower is capable of carrying a much larger payload - from 6 to 20 tons. Their size ensures good seakeeping behavior even in heavy weather, and the capacity of their tanks allows, provided that the speed can be managed, for undertaking long passages.
EUPHORIE 5 - Ready for the big off
The challenge for architect Marc Lombard was to propose a power version of the very successful Série 5: a gamble that paid off, as the elegant Euphorie 5 has irreproachable seakeeping qualities and a luxury level of comfort. With the exception of a few details, particularly in the cockpit, it naturally follows the same layout plan - the gigantic owner’s cabin still occupies the full width of the central rostrum. As usual in the Privilège world, customization is possible and high-end quality is present in every detail. A real invitation to head off further afield!

ILIAD 50 - Mission : blue water cruising
The Iliad range is built in China and distributed in Australia. This 50-foot boat, designed for ocean crossing, is complemented by three other models: the Indigo 53, the Iliad 60 and the Iliad 70. The Iliad’s program is much more adventurous than that of most of its competitors: the possibility of covering 2,500 nautical miles without refueling and being able to take the ground, on a beach or slipway proves it from the outset... However, comfort has not been neglected, quite the contrary: the Iliad 50 offers three levels of living space and a particularly neat finish.

PC52 - Semi-custom offshore boating
Horizon have been producing yachts in Taiwan since 1987 - so much so that their experience is plain to see everywhere on board the PC52. This model is the first of the range as it also includes the 60, the 65 and the 74. However, like her big sisters, the 52 is treated like a superyacht. Quality materials, robustness and rigidity are the key words for the construction. Each model is built in a small production run to reduce costs while preserving a great deal of freedom in terms of layout and equipment.
