Overview
Eagle Ray, is bar non the fastest, smoothest riding power catamaran in the market today.Eagle Ray is seriously for sale and the owner is a keen seller.
Eagle Ray’s advanced design and technology unites wide-beam comfort, style, speed and fuel economy into an unforgettable cruising experience.
Cocktails on the fly-bridge when the turbo diesels spin up, the twin rooster tails fountain from astern is. In no time the ship rises on hydrofoil, the chart-plotter reads 36 knots. The captain’s holding back in comfort cruise. She’ll do 40+ knots. And you won’t spill a drop.
Eagle Ray has had the same owner since new.
Eagle Ray is the ONLY Stealth 540 that has Arneson Surface Drives installed.
Arneson drives were delivered in February of 2012 and work was not completed until December of the same year.
Engine hours in total for this boat are 700 hours.
Range at 35 Knots: 360 Nautical Miles (Lightship Calm Sea and Wind Conditions)
Stealth Yachts has a long history of building power Cats for commercial and private use.
If you are planning to own a 3 cabin, 3 head with crew's cabin layout power cat from a reputable builder that is the fastest in its class with the best performance this is it.
Eagle Ray is a very unique power catamaran. It attains speeds of up to 40+ Kts. incorporating a unique foil system that once it reaches planning speed lifts up on three foils.
One large bronze foil that is forward between the hulls and two smaller foils on the inside of the hulls aft. These foils work in combination with the Arneson surface piercing drives and 5 blade props to attain speeds not possible with a conventional planning hull design.
Cruising on this boat is an adventure and the ultimate experience which looks to me is what you want from the Cat you are looking for.

Most important difference is a reliable drive train from an established US company (Arneson) on Eagle Ray that none one of the other Stealth boats have.
The owner of Eagle Ray spent a lot of time and money addressing the propulsion system to make it perfect. This boat also has a water maker which doesn’t come included on the standard spec.
Eagle Ray has always been maintained and taken care by a full time Captain with an open check book budget.
Owner will include the voltage booster charge circuit for engine start batteries from genset and shore power amp increase which is necessary on these boats to run the systems with enough load. I am
Also included: Tender, water maker, sat phone, scuba tanks. He also recently replaced and serviced air compressors on the A/C units.
The STEALTH 540 flybridge presents the newest wave in yachting. This yacht has a perfectly crafted catamaran hull matched with a proprietary hydrofoil (HYSUCAT), which elevates the hulls of the yacht and significantly reduces most of the drag that would normally be present on a planning hull. All of this is matched with the latest 800hp MAN Common Rail diesels and the Arneson Surface Drive (ASD) propulsion, which gives the vessel unmatched performance and fuel economy.
The STEALTH 540 flybridge can reach a top of speed of 55mph and easily cruises at 42mph. At cruising speed, the STEALTH 540 flybridge burns 30% less fuel than any other motor yacht in her class! Because of the efficiency of the HYSUCAT, the ride is much smoother than most yachts, which yields an attractable ‘wave dampening’ effect.
With an overall length of 55’ and a beam of 18’ this vessel is more like a 70’ yacht. Not only that, the STEALTH 540 flybridge carries that beam much farther forward due to her catamaran hull, and is easily seen by a king-size bed forward in the master stateroom.
The STEALTH 540 flybridge has 3 staterooms and 3 full-baths. The flybridge has seating for 12, while the cockpit has more square footage than most 65’ sport fishing yachts. With side decks and a center walk-through windshield, access to the bow is excellent.

Boat Highlights
Catamaran Hull
Catamaran-type hulls are not new – they have been in use in ship-building since the Polynesians with their twin-canoe hulled sailing vessels dating back about 3000 years. They probably exploited many of the hull-type’s unique characteristics by creating wide, stable, seaworthy and easily powered vessels. The advantages of thecatamaran hull-type include:
- Useful Deck Size: A power catamaran hull typically creates a deck that is 25%-30% wider than a similar length monohull. This additional, usable deck space allows additional cargo loading area for commercial vessels, more passenger seating space for ferries and more interior/deck/cockpit space for leisure vessels.
- Seaworthiness: The ride-comfort of a catamaran hull is significantly better than a monohull in any sea-state (other than dead calm where they are both similar). The high slenderness ratio of the individual hulls allows them to punch through waves resulting in lower vertical accelerations which are perceived as a softer and more comfortable ride.
- Safety: Due to their wider beams and buoyancy being largely concentrated near the beam limits of the vessel, they have a higher inherent stability than monohulls – there is far less healing due to side-imposed loads (such as wind forces) or load movement on-board (such as passenger movements to one side). Catamaranhulls inherently provide compartmentalised buoyancy – damage one hull and the other will still provide reserve buoyancy. Normally each hull is divided into several watertight compartments which help increase damage-tolerance.
- Wake Reduction: Wake size is of considerable importance due to shore-side wave disturbance when entering and leaving harbour or operating in river or estuarine environments. The wake size of a catamaran hull is considerably reduced compared to a similar size monohull due to its long slender hulls.
- Manoeuvrability: All larger catamarans (STEALTH technology works exclusively with catamarans in the 10m – 24m size range) have twin engine installations. With the engine spacing being further apart than on a monohull, controlled slow speed manoeuvring without bow thrusters is assured.
Hydrofoils and HYSUCAT
A hybrid hull consisting of an asymmetrical, planing catamaran hull and specialhydrofoil system was developed by Prof. Gunter Hoppe at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa, in the early 1980’s. The resultant hull form is known as aHYSUCAT (HYdrofoil SUpported CATamaran). The advantages of this unique, hybrid system is that it further amplifies many of the existing benefits of the catamaran hull-form such as:
- Reducing the running resistance of the catamaran hull for a given speed by approximately 35%. This advantage can be exploited by lowering the installed power (reduced capital cost and reduced fuel consumption) or increasing speed by approximately 35% when using existing engines.
- Improved ride quality in rough seas due to the motion damping effect of thehydrofoils.
- Reduced wake size as the catamaran hull is partially lifted out the water by thehydrofoils causing less disturbance to the body of water the hull is operating in.
The main hydrofoil fitted between the catamaran hulls acts like any classic foil operating in a fluid medium - the top surface generates a low pressure region, the lower surface a high pressure region and the mass of water flowing past the foil is deflected downwards. The resultant is lift generated far more efficiently than the hull planing surfaces – typically the Lift/Drag ratio of a planning hull is 4:1 while that of thehydrofoil is 20:1. Smaller trim hydrofoils are also fitted on the inside of the catamaran tunnel near the transom. These smaller foils play an important role in the automatic longitudinal trim stabilisation of the hull in that as they approach the water surface in the catamaran tunnel, the bow trims down, their lift decreases (due to free-surface effects) and then, due to lift reduction, the transom trims back down again.
In general, the hydrofoils are protectively fitted between the catamaran hulls as they are fitted to the hull keels as deep as possible so as to keep them fully submerged but no lower than the keels – as they do not protrude below the hull nor are they wider than the tunnel beam, there are no operational or aesthetic constraints as a result of fitting HYSUCAT hydrofoils.
