Luxury Yacht Aquila 50 unveiled with an "Explorer" appearance and a striking owner's suite.
Introducing the Aquila 50 Yacht: A New Explorer-inspired Power Catamaran
The Aquila 50 Yacht, a recent unveiling at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, showcases Aquila's innovative 'explorer' aesthetic. This new model distinguishes itself through a series of distinct features, including a tall freeboard, a raised foredeck, and substantial hull windows, providing ample light and space for an impressive forward owner's cabin.
On the main deck, the accommodation is typical of motor-cats, with a spacious aft cockpit, a square-shaped saloon, and a foredeck lounge featuring four reclining sun loungers and a bow bench facing aft. The saloon houses a lounge-diner to port and offers the option of either a sofa or an inside helm to starboard. A notable feature of the aft galley is the large swing-up window, transforming the workspace into a cocktail bar when extended.
A highlight of the Aquila 50 Yacht is the expansive, single-level owner's cabin, which spans the full width of both hulls, offering extraordinary space and light. The cabin boasts a headroom of 6ft 7in (2m) and an open-plan layout, with the bathroom positioned to port and a lounge area to starboard. Although other full-beam catamaran cabins often drop down into the hulls on either side of the bed, this layout keeps it all on one level.
Two ensuite guest cabins, along with a utility room or optional fourth bunk cabin, can be found on the lower decks. The owner's cabin is also situated below, with the space and luminosity resulting from the joining of both hulls and windows on three sides.
The flybridge, connected to the main deck by steps on either side, offers plenty of lounging and dining space aft, a wet bar, and a two-seat helm position. The flybridge does not occupy the full beam, but features an additional set of forward steps leading down to the bow lounge. For year-round flexibility, the hardtop can be fitted with a sunroof, solar panels, or transparent screens. Moreover, the hydraulic bathing platform is robust enough to handle Aquila's own 4.3m RIB tender.
Powered by twin 480hp Volvo Penta or 550hp Yanmar engines, the Aquila 50 can achieve a cruising speed of 16 knots, providing efficient and smooth performance. With a cruising range of around 400 nautical miles, this model is well-suited for extended coastal cruising and offshore passages.
Constructed from glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), the Aquila 50 offers durability and lightweight strength. The design team, responsible for numerous awards, collaborated to create a vessel that successfully balances aesthetics and functionality.
Certified to Class A CE standards, the yacht boasts exceptional structural integrity, stability, and seaworthiness, making it suitable for open ocean exploration in extreme conditions. Furthermore, the Aquila 50 has been shortlisted for the 'Power Catamaran Above 15m' category at the 2025 Yacht Style Awards, recognizing its leadership in the category.
As a unique and versatile power catamaran for luxury cruising, the Aquila 50 Yacht offers a blend of generous social and private spaces, robust high-performance engineering, and advanced safety certification. For more information, visit www.aquilaboats.com.
