2011 Privilege 495 “EVOLUTION” – $600K+ Refit | Owner’s Version | Bahamas-Ready, Off-Grid Catamaran
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.
Upgrades include:
- 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.
- Pull down projection screen and smart projector for movie nights in the main salon.
- New AIS, and glass replaced on Garmin chartplotter.
- New Starlink Performance connected to all Smart TVs.
- Major interior refit with new headliners, galley countertops and Thor propane stove/oven, master closet and pantry cabinets redone as well as propane system replumbed and new safety switch.
- Electric telescoping dining table in the main salon.
Offered now at $749,000, well below total investment, Evolution represents immediate value for the experienced sailor seeking a shallow-draft, owner’s version catamaran capable of remaining at anchor for weeks at a time in destinations like the Bahamas and Caribbean out-islands. This vessel is ready to leave the dock and go cruising in style!
