Aquila Yacht Redefines Offshore Cruising with the New Aquila 50 Yacht
Aquila Yacht isn’t just updating a model; they’re refining their vision of the long-range power catamaran with the Aquila 50 Yacht. Positioned between the Aquila 44 and Aquila 54, this newcomer succeeds the Aquila 48 with a clear ambition: to offer a yacht capable of extended voyages in varied conditions, all while providing a level of comfort suited for serious cruising.
A Bold New Design Language
The change is immediately apparent. The design adopts a more assertive aesthetic, dubbed “Explorer” by the brand, featuring a higher freeboard and a more robust silhouette. This choice isn’t purely stylistic; it reflects a commitment to the boat’s offshore capabilities, reinforced by Category A certification, a guarantee of safety and reliability for ocean navigation.
This stylistic evolution builds upon recent Aquila models, such as the 42 Yacht, while incorporating more adventurous cues. The result is a power catamaran that retains an elegant identity but openly displays its exploratory vocation.
Interior Volumes Prioritize Long-Term Comfort
The standard layout features a 3-cabin, 3-head configuration, complemented by a versatile living space. The full-beam master suite is a highlight, offering a sense of space rarely found on catamarans of this size. It is bright, generous, and well-isolated.
Careful finishes, thoughtfully chosen materials, and large windows create a contemporary and welcoming atmosphere. Every space has been designed for extended living, whether for prolonged cruises or more challenging voyages. A 4-cabin, 4-head version is also available for families or charter programs, with the option to add a dedicated captain’s quarters.
An Outdoor-Focused Lifestyle
The Aquila 50 Yacht fully embraces its identity as a convivial power catamaran. The spacious and well-structured flybridge naturally becomes the heart of onboard life. It offers an ideal area for outdoor dining, relaxation, or navigating in pleasant conditions. For more demanding passages, an optional interior helm station provides comfort and visibility when the weather deteriorates.
This intelligent organization of space enhances the boat’s versatility and its ability to navigate in all latitudes, without sacrificing the pleasure of the sea or onboard conviviality.
Performance, Innovation, and Environmental Awareness
Powered by twin Volvo Penta D6 380 hp engines as standard, the Aquila 50 Yacht benefits from a hull optimized for stability and efficiency. Owners seeking increased performance can opt for the Aquila Hydro Glide Foil System, compatible with Yanmar 550 hp engines, a technology that improves glide and efficiency during navigation.
Environmental considerations haven’t been overlooked. The hardtop is designed to easily integrate solar panels, while the engine rooms can accommodate both conventional thermal engines and a more environmentally friendly hybrid solution. This is a concrete response to the new expectations of boaters concerned about reducing their footprint without sacrificing autonomy.
A Comprehensive Synthesis of Modern Yachting
The Aquila 50 Yacht embodies a new generation of power catamarans, where design, safety, and customization advance in concert. The result of in-depth studies and feedback from numerous owners, it is aimed at those who want to navigate far, long, and comfortably, while enjoying the pleasure of sailing on a true yacht.
More than just a model evolution, this marks a step in Aquila’s vision: a more open, more responsible, and resolutely exploration-oriented yachting experience.
