Evolution is a rare opportunity to acquire a properly refit turnkey Privilege 495, one of the most respected performance cruising catamarans ever built. Purchased in 2021 for $605,000, her current owner has since invested over $600,000 modernizing systems, power generation, interior spaces, and mechanical access with a singular goal: extended, self-sufficient cruising away from the dock.

All new AC units - 220V main salon and master cabin, and 12V Mabru systems in both aft guest cabins.  Custom stainless steel arch on the transom with 4 550W bifacial solar panels and 1300aH of Victron lithium batteries.  Victron solar controllers, chargers and inverters provides off grid power when at anchor.  Battery chargers for on generator and engine start batteries.  Rigid tender on davits with electric winches for lifting.  Solar powered blue uplighting on spreaders up the mast. ...
