Aquila 50 Yacht, the Aquila Power Catamarans signature catamaran, finally debuts in Europe. After enjoying success with the American public, the catamaran is preparing to make its European debut at the upcoming Cannes Yachting Festival.
At 15.90 meters long and 7.76 meters wide, Aquila 50 Yacht is the result of the synergy between Sino Eagle Group and MarineMax and fits between the 44 and 54 models in the Aquila Power Catamarans range. Its “explorer” design, with high freeboards and modern lines, ensures safety, stability and surprising interior volumes even in challenging sailing. It is a 16-meter catamaran designed to optimize space (including the exterior) and interior volumes, designed to make you feel like you are aboard a much larger boat.
The flybridge, protected by hard top and optional retractable bimini, is designed for conviviality: lounge area, wet bar, grill and sundeck allow the boat to be experienced outdoors in all seasons. TheAquila 50 Yacht ‘s deck is protected by high guardrails, while aft we find a movable tender lift and a furnished cockpit, ideal for relaxing even in less favorable weather conditions.
The real highlight is the full-beam owner’s suite, arranged on a single level with no steps and lit by large panoramic windows-a solution that offers space and comfort comparable to that of a yacht over 30 meters, a unicum in the 16-meter cat segment. The modular layout makes it possible to configure from 3 to 5 cabins, with three or four bathrooms and the possibility of adding a sailor cabin, so as to adapt to every cruising and hospitality need.
Aquila 50 Yacht is equipped with two 480-hp Volvo Penta D6 engines for a maximum speed of 22 knots and stable cruising at 18-19 knots, with low fuel consumption (about 8 liters per mile at 18 knots). The double-hulled hull, bow bulb and bow thrusters provide excellent stability and maneuverability even without a joystick, making the boat ideal for owners who want to sail without a crew, in complete safety and autonomy.
The hull is made of vinylester infusion, a choice that ensures strength, light weight and propulsive efficiency. The interior is designed to enhance every square meter, offering brightness, privacy and versatility, with smart stowage solutions and high-end finishes.
