Invincible is the family-held tournament-grade builder from Opa-Locka, Florida. Founded in 2006, the brand has carved out a unique position in the segment by building both deep-V monohull center consoles and the segment-leading power-catamaran offshore platform. The lineup runs from the 33-foot monohull through the 46 Pilothouse Catamaran flagship.

The brand argument is the catamaran. Invincible's twin-hull power-cat platform delivers a flat-stable ride at 30-knot offshore cruise that no monohull can match, with documented owner reports of 5-knot-plus efficiency gains over equivalent-LOA monohulls in head seas. The monohull line competes with Contender and Yellowfin on the tournament center-console segment.

Model breakdown

Each platform, what it does and where it falls short.

Invincible Monohull series (33 / 35 / 37 / 39 / 40 / 42 / 46 CC)

The monohull line is the brand's tournament-grade offshore center-console range. Deep-V hull form, twin to quad Yamaha or Mercury rigging.

Things we like

  • · Deep-V hull form runs drier than Whaler or Grady at equivalent LOA
  • · Family-held build discipline supports a tight resale floor

Things we don't

  • · Pricing premium over Contender and Yellowfin at equivalent rigging
  • · Smaller production volume means longer build lead times

Invincible Catamaran series (35 / 37 / 40 / 46 Cat)

The catamaran line is the brand's hydrodynamic argument. Twin-hull power-cat platform, twin to quad outboard rigging across the bridge deck.

Things we like

  • · Flat-stable ride at 30-knot offshore cruise that no monohull matches
  • · Owner-documented 5-knot-plus efficiency gains over equivalent-LOA monohulls in head seas
  • · Reduced fatigue on multi-hour offshore runs is the cited owner benefit

Things we don't

  • · Catamaran beam wider than equivalent monohull, marina slip and trailer logistics matter
  • · Resale market for offshore power cats is thinner than monohulls

Invincible 46 Pilothouse Catamaran

The 46 PHC is the brand's flagship cabin-equipped catamaran. Forward pilothouse with weather-protected helm, master stateroom, full galley.

Things we like

  • · Pilothouse layout gives weather-protected helm rare in offshore center consoles
  • · Catamaran ride plus cabin layout is the brand's most differentiated product

Things we don't

  • · Pricing competes with full motor yachts at similar dollars
  • · Single-purpose flagship limits cross-shop pool

Buyer's guide

The Invincible story and what to know on the used market.

Origin and ownership

Invincible was founded in 2006 in Opa-Locka, Florida. The brand built deep-V monohull center consoles for the South Florida tournament market and added the power-catamaran line in the early 2010s. The catamaran platform became the brand's most differentiated product and pulled in tournament fishermen who wanted the head-sea ride quality the monohull form could not match.

The brand has stayed family-held throughout. Production has stayed in Opa-Locka, single-site.

Design philosophy

The monohull lineup follows the same sharp deep-V tournament-hull discipline as Contender and Yellowfin. Transom deadrise runs 24 to 26 degrees on the offshore CC line.

The catamaran lineup is built around the twin-hull asymmetric demi-hull design. The catamaran ride at 30-knot cruise in head seas is the brand's hydrodynamic argument and the reason buyers pay a premium over monohull comparables.

Yamaha XTO 425 V8 and Mercury Verado 600 V12 are both factory options across the larger hulls. Construction uses hand-laid fiberglass with composite stringers.

Used-market notes and known issues

Yamaha XTO 425 V8 rigging on the catamaran requires precise weight balance, factory tuning is set up around documented load distribution.

Pre-2018 catamaran hulls (the 35 Cat in particular) had a documented bridge-deck slamming issue in following seas, the post-2018 redesign tightened the demi-hull geometry and resolves it.

Hardtop hardware on 2019 to 2021 hulls in salt-heavy markets shows pitting at the rear stanchion mounts, cosmetic only.

Dealer network is concentrated in South Florida, the Gulf, and the Bahamas. East Coast Mid-Atlantic coverage is mid-density.

Resale

Invincible holds resale among the tightest in the tournament-grade segment. Three-year depreciation runs 8 to 14 percent on clean catamaran hulls and 10 to 16 percent on monohulls. The catamaran segment commands premium resale because production volume is small and used inventory is thin.

Where Invincible fits

Buyers cross-shop Invincible against Contender, Yellowfin, and Jupiter for monohull tournament use, and against World Cat, Twin Vee, and Freeman Boatworks for power-catamaran offshore use. The argument for Invincible is the dual lineup (monohull or catamaran) under one builder, the family-held production discipline, and the catamaran ride quality. Buyers who only want monohull should cross-shop the dedicated tournament builders. Buyers who prioritize the cat ride buy Invincible.

FAQ

Frequently asked.

Why a catamaran over a monohull?
The catamaran flat-stable ride at 30-knot cruise in 3-to-4-foot head seas is the differentiator. Owner reports document 5-knot-plus efficiency gains over equivalent-LOA monohulls in head seas, plus reduced fatigue on multi-hour offshore runs. The trade is wider beam (marina and trailer logistics) and a thinner used market.
Are Invincible catamarans tournament-eligible?
Yes. Most major East Coast and Gulf tournaments allow power catamarans, and Invincible cats compete and win regularly. Tournament-circuit credibility is established.
What's the maintenance cost on a 40 Cat?
Annual service on quad Yamaha XTO 425 V8 outboards runs $4,000 to $5,500. Bottom paint $800 to $1,500 (two hulls to paint). Storage $3,000 to $7,500 indoor. Insurance for a $650,000 hull runs $4,500 to $7,500. Total seasonal cost runs $13,000 to $20,000 outside of fuel.
Where are Invincibles built?
Opa-Locka, Florida. Single-site, family-owned production.
