Our Take
Written by The Fly Yachts Team · Brokerage

The 2018 Avenger Custom Luxury Catamaran Coastal Cruiser is a purpose-built 80-foot vessel designed for extended family cruising, small-group charters, and waterfront hospitality. With a 33-foot beam and shallow 4.83-foot draft, this catamaran balances the shallow-water capability needed for inland waterway exploration with the seaworthiness required for coastal island cruising and beyond. The twin 405 HP Cummins 6-cylinder 9L diesel engines—logged at under 300 operating hours—deliver reliable propulsion paired with a 5,500-nautical-mile range at 10 knots, making extended cruises throughout U.S. coastal waters and the Caribbean entirely feasible. The 6,000-gallon fuel capacity and dual 3,000-gallon diesel tanks with integrated transfer system ensure long-distance independence, while the 4,000-gallon potable water capacity across two 2,000-gallon tanks with ozone, UV, and charcoal filtration supports a large complement for weeks at a time.

The interior accommodates up to 14 guests across seven private staterooms, each with full ensuite bathrooms and spacious shower facilities, plus dedicated crew quarters with private facilities—a configuration ideal for charter operations, multi-family voyages, or extended family gatherings. Eight full bathrooms and two half-baths throughout the 6,000 square feet of usable space eliminate the compromises typical of smaller cruising yachts. The galley and living areas feature quartz countertops, cypress millwork cabinetry, and white aluminum ceiling panels engineered for marine durability, while seventeen independent mini-split HVAC units with dedicated zoning maintain climate control across all living spaces, engine rooms, storage areas, and utility spaces. An elevator and staircase system connects the main and second-floor levels, a practical feature rarely found in yachts of this size.

The 2018 Avenger demonstrates meticulous systems engineering throughout. Two 20 KW Kohler diesel generators provide independent electrical redundancy, supported by a 16-battery 24V house bank with three independent charging systems. A 16-pump bilge system rated at 3,700 GPH per pump includes visual monitoring, addressing the demands of a large catamaran operating in variable conditions. All mechanical fasteners are stainless steel, and the hull employs marine-grade fiberglass-reinforced plastic with 100% iso resin construction. Propane systems support the galley, water heating, laundry, and outdoor cooking including a seafood boil station—a thoughtful addition for serious cruisers. Full marine electronics with autopilot, ultra-bright LED floodlighting surrounding the entire hull, and comprehensive interior LED lighting powered by the dedicated house bank reflect a vessel built for both functionality and nighttime operation.

The layout prioritizes entertaining and outdoor living. Two expansive front decks—one at the main level and one on the second floor—provide multiple outdoor gathering spaces. The second-floor lounge features a wet bar, and the top-deck helipad indicates the owner's vision for this vessel as a comprehensive floating resort. A dedicated port engine room workshop with integrated tools and storage acknowledges the practical reality of extended cruising. The shallow draft, generous fuel and water capacity, comprehensive climate control, multiple entertainment areas, and fully appointed crew accommodations position this 2018 Avenger Custom Luxury Catamaran as a turnkey platform for multi-week coastal exploration, charter revenue generation, or simply the ultimate family vacation home afloat.

2018 Avenger 80 Custom Luxury Catamaran Coastal Cruiser – Rare 7-Cabin Expedition Vessel with 5,500-Mile Range
Overview
The 2018 Avenger 80 Custom Luxury Catamaran Coastal Cruiser represents a distinctive entry into the world of large, custom-built expedition vessels designed for extended family cruising, boutique charter operations, and coastal exploration. At 80 feet in length with a 33-foot beam, this catamaran delivers substantial interior volume—nearly 6,000 square feet of usable living space—while maintaining a shallow 4.83-foot draft that opens access to inland waterways, coastal rivers, and protected anchorages across North America. Powered by twin 405-horsepower Cummins 9-liter diesel engines operating under 300 hours, the vessel combines proven marine propulsion with the range and stability characteristics expected of a dedicated cruising platform. Available now in Covington, Louisiana, this vessel appeals to serious cruisers seeking a floating home base, multi-family vacation platform, or charter-ready accommodation with full self-sufficiency systems and premium interior finishes.
Hull Design and Structural Foundation
The Avenger 80 employs marine-grade fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) construction throughout, built using 100-percent ISO resin methodology to ensure structural integrity, osmotic resistance, and long-term durability in saltwater and brackish environments. The catamaran hull form—with its twin-hull design and 33-foot beam—provides exceptional stability at anchor and underway, a critical feature for vessels intended to accommodate large groups of guests or family members who may be less accustomed to traditional monohull motion. The shallow 4.83-foot draft enables exploration of the Intracoastal Waterway, Gulf Coast bayous, Florida Keys, and similar shallow-water cruising grounds without the draft limitations of deeper-hulled alternatives. All mechanical fasteners throughout the structure—bolts, screws, and lock nuts—are stainless steel, minimizing corrosion concerns in marine environments and reducing long-term maintenance requirements.
Power, Propulsion, and Range
Twin Cummins 405-horsepower 6-cylinder 9-liter diesel engines provide the primary propulsion, each with fewer than 150 hours of operation. These engines represent a mature, proven platform in commercial and marine applications, known for reliability, parts availability, and straightforward service requirements. The dual-engine configuration offers redundancy—critical for vessels operating far from repair facilities—and allows for independent engine operation, fuel-balancing capability, and asymmetrical thrust management during docking or tight-quarters maneuvering. The vessel carries 6,000 gallons of diesel fuel across two independent 3,000-gallon tanks with a fuel transfer system, enabling balanced weight distribution and operational flexibility. At a 10-knot cruising speed, the Avenger 80 achieves a 5,500-nautical-mile range, a figure that supports extended coastal and island-hopping itineraries without frequent refueling stops. This range-to-size ratio positions the vessel as a true long-distance cruiser capable of traversing the entire U.S. Gulf Coast, the Caribbean , and beyond.
Electrical Generation and Power Management
Two 20-kilowatt Kohler diesel generators provide independent electrical generation capacity, ensuring that all onboard systems—climate control, refrigeration, water treatment, lighting, and entertainment systems—operate continuously during cruising or at-anchor periods. The dual-generator configuration mirrors the redundancy philosophy of the main engines: if one unit requires service, the second maintains full hotel load capability. The vessel features three independent charging systems dedicated to the house battery bank, which consists of 16 individual batteries supporting 24-volt DC loads including all LED lighting (interior and exterior), HVAC control systems, and auxiliary equipment. This multi-layered electrical architecture—combining genset capacity, dedicated charging systems, and substantial battery storage—ensures that the Avenger 80 operates as a fully independent vessel, unreliant on shore power or external infrastructure.
Water Systems and Environmental Management
The vessel integrates two 2,000-gallon potable water tanks with a transfer system, providing 4,000 gallons of fresh water capacity—sufficient for extended cruising with multiple guests and crew. Water treatment employs a three-stage approach: ozone oxidation, ultraviolet sterilization, and activated charcoal filtration, a combination that removes bacteria, viruses, chlorine, and organic compounds while maintaining water quality over extended periods. The propane system serves multiple functions—cooking appliances, water heating, laundry dryer operation, deck-mounted barbecue, and a dedicated seafood boil station—reducing electrical load and enabling independent operation in remote anchorages. Sixteen automatic bilge pumps, each rated at 3,700 gallons per hour, provide comprehensive water management across the twin hulls and internal compartments. A visual monitoring panel allows crew to assess bilge status at a glance, a practical safety feature for a vessel of this size and complexity. The combination of redundant pumping capacity and real-time status monitoring reflects a design philosophy prioritizing safety and peace of mind during extended cruising.
Interior Architecture and Accommodations
The Avenger 80 is configured with seven large private guest bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom and spacious shower—a layout that transforms the vessel into a floating resort or family vacation home. An eighth cabin serves as dedicated crew quarters with bunks and private ensuite facilities, enabling the vessel to operate with professional crew support for extended charters or family voyages. In total, eight full bathrooms and two half-baths distribute facilities throughout the vessel, eliminating bottlenecks during high-occupancy periods. Interior finishes reflect a commitment to durability and maintenance efficiency in marine service. Cypress millwork adorns walls and ceiling recesses, providing warmth and visual sophistication while offering rot resistance superior to standard hardwoods. Quartz countertops throughout the galley, heads, and wet bars combine aesthetic appeal with practical durability—resisting staining, scratching, and moisture absorption. Aluminum ceiling panels (2 feet by 2 feet, with plastic core) offer mildew and warp resistance, a practical choice for a vessel operating in humid, salt-spray environments. Wood blinds on all windows provide privacy, sun control, and a finished appearance while supporting thermal regulation.
Climate Control and Comfort Systems
Seventeen independent high-efficiency mini-split HVAC units distribute throughout the vessel, each operating on air-cooled principles that reduce maintenance complexity and improve efficiency compared to water-cooled systems. HVAC zones encompass all guest cabins, crew quarters, living spaces, storage areas, engine rooms, the elevator shaft, and a dedicated day head, ensuring consistent climate control across the entire 6,000-square-foot interior. The zone-based approach allows crew to customize temperature and humidity in different areas—cooling guest cabins while maintaining cooler temperatures in engine spaces—reducing overall energy consumption and improving guest comfort.
Deck Layout and Entertainment Spaces
The Avenger 80 features two expansive front decks—one at the main level and a second on the upper deck—providing outdoor entertaining and lounging space with unobstructed views. The second-floor lounge includes a wet bar, creating a dedicated social hub for guests and crew. A top-deck helipad accommodates helicopter operations, a distinctive feature that signals the vessel's expedition capability and appeals to owners seeking rapid access to remote anchorages or emergency medical evacuation options.
Specialized Systems and Operational Features
An elevator and stair system connecting the main deck to the second floor addresses the practical challenge of multi-level access aboard a large vessel, particularly important for guests with mobility limitations or family members carrying luggage and supplies. A port engine room workshop with integrated tool storage and a dedicated laundry room with extra-large capacity washer and gas dryer support extended cruising independence, eliminating the need to seek shore-based laundry or repair services. Ultra-bright LED floodlights surround the entire boat perimeter, providing comprehensive nighttime illumination for safety, security, and aesthetic effect. All interior and exterior lighting operates on LED technology, reducing electrical draw and maintenance compared to incandescent or halogen alternatives. Full marine electronics with autopilot capability enable single-operator or reduced-crew navigation during extended passages, a practical feature for managing the vessel across open water or confined coastal passages.
Vessel Purpose and Market Positioning
The 2018 Avenger 80 Custom Luxury Catamaran Coastal Cruiser occupies a unique niche within the large yacht market. Its 7-cabin, 8-bathroom configuration and 6,000-square-foot interior volume position it as a floating vacation home or boutique charter platform rather than a traditional sportfish , motor yacht , or expedition vessel. The shallow draft enables inland waterway cruising—a capability absent in many large yachts
