Pathfinder Pilothouse 17.4 2014 model by Peter Brady
Pathfinder Pilothouse 17.4 - Australian-Built Power Catamaran
Designed and built in Australia, the Pathfinder Pilothouse 17.4 embodies reliability, practicality, and long-range capability. Every system was engineered to be robust, easy to maintain, and backed up with redundancy - the philosophy of a vessel built to go to sea for long periods.
This late-model power catamaran offers exceptional range, comfort, and versatility, making it equally suited to extended bluewater expeditions or relaxed coastal entertaining.
Lifestyle & Layout
The expansive aft deck is the social heart of the vessel, with room to host 10+ guests in comfort. Large bi-fold doors connect seamlessly to the saloon and aft galley, where a servery window opens directly to the deck.
Forward, the raised pilothouse ensures the captain never cruises alone - with L-shaped lounges, a navigation station, a second helm chair, and space for all your guests to enjoy the journey in panoramic comfort.
Accommodation is designed for extended cruising, offering:
Two forward queen cabins with a shared ensuite. Portside midship double-bunk cabin. Starboard double and single cabin with ensuite. Sleeping arrangements for up to 10 guests.
Key Features
> Upgrades completed in 2021 & 2023 (extensive list available)
> 3,000nm range @ 8 knots
> Wireless yacht controller for effortless handling
> Protected props - designed to sit safely on the sand
> Accommodation for 10 guests across 5 cabins
Power & Performance
> Renowned boatbuilder Peter Brady selected twin Yanmar 6LY3-STP 440hp engines for their proven reliability and suitability for remote cruising. These mechanically injected marine engines were chosen for their:
> Outstanding power-to-weight ratio
> Narrow profile, ideal for catamaran hulls
> Easy servicing with equipment positioned on top
> Forgiving mechanical injection for variable fuel quality in remote areas
> Electronic control for higher torque, cleaner burn, and full LCD monitoring
Matched with Yanmar gearboxes (2.47:1,8° down angle), the propulsion package delivers efficiency, durability, and peace of mind - the kind of engineering confidence you want when exploring far horizons.
Pathfinder Pilothouse 17.4 is a rare opportunity to own a true Australian-designed and built long-range power catamaran, combining seakeeping, space, and simplicity in one world-class package.
