\nIt is the dream of every sailor to take off and explore. But you need a platform that is capable of supporting that dream. Safe and comfortable, fun to sail, and robust enough for every adventure \u2013 Aquila catamarans are this and more.
\nAfter decades of building highly regarded power cats for discerning customers, Aquila is extending its unique blend of design and know-how to the sailing sector. The first Aquila 50 has already been launched and will debut at the Miami International Boat Show in February. With a 49\u2019 1\u201d overall length and 25\u2019 9\u201d beam, she boasts all of the design aesthetics of other Aquila boats. In fact, the entire sailing lineup was designed by J&J Design, the naval architects behind Aquila\u2019s 50 Yacht, 42 Coupe, and the widely popular 32 and 36 Sport catamarans. Let\u2019s explore these new models, starting with the 44\u2026<\/p>\n
Aquila 44
\nOver the next 18 months, the Aquila 44 and Aquila 63 will also hit the water, offering customers a compelling family of sailing cats for the first time in Aquila\u2019s history. It is an illustration of the shipyard\u2019s belief that there is no better brand for sailors who put the experience on the water before all else.
\nThat\u2019s because Aquila\u2019s brand revolves around thoughtful design and superior manufacturing to maximise every moment on the water. Founded by sailors with a deep well of cruising experience, the brand is on a relentless quest to find what\u2019s next, harnessing craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology to deliver better boats for experiencing \u201cout there.\u201d Their visionary thinking makes boating smoother, easier and more fulfilling.<\/p>\n
Aquila 50
\nThis is no empty rhetoric. Aquila\u2019s sailing catamarans offer more interior space than their peers. A spacious aft cockpit opens up to a cavernous salon with all the comfort and panoramic glass of a penthouse apartment. If you are a private owner, a spacious owner\u2019s suite ensures maximum relaxation and retreat, with three (3) additional guest cabins for friends and family. For those looking to place the boat in a charter program, Aquila has a six (6) cabin version, each with a private entry. Best of all, once the boat completes its charter deployment, it can be converted back to an owner\u2019s boat with no structural work required.
\nAnd where many cats feature a forward trampoline between the hulls, Aquila\u2019s three sailing models have a rigid bow. This introduces the possibility of unwinding in a comfortable, well-protected foredeck lounge featuring plenty of sunpad loungers for a relaxing view of the horizon. It\u2019s the perfect spot for soaking up the seascape under sail.
\nFor a loftier view of the journey, the flybridge offers some of the best seats aboard. Eat, lounge or simply enjoy a coffee as the sun comes up \u2013 all while keeping the helmsperson company. Aquila\u2019s trademark \u201cbridge-to-bow\u201d stairs are integrated into both the port and starboard sides, making bow access quick and easy.
\nAdding to the appeal, the new Aquila sailing cats offer a choice of propulsion: diesel only, or Aquila\u2019s Hybrid Ocean Drive which offers the benefits of electric propulsion when desired. It\u2019s all part of Aquila\u2019s ongoing effort to deliver sustainable boating options \u2014 a philosophy which also governs its massive shipyard, where solar panels cover 70
\nper cent of the factory roof and sustainable practices can be
\nfound throughout.
