Aquila Catamarans has become one of the most prominent builders devoted to multihull boats, offering an unusually diverse lineup ranging from 28 to 70 feet. Best known for power catamarans, Aquila now builds several distinct categories: the Molokai offshore fishing series, outboard-powered Sport models, enclosed Coupe cruisers, flybridge Yacht models and the flagship Aquila 70 Luxury. The company has also entered the sailing-catamaran market with new 45-, 50- and future 65-foot models. Among Aquila’s best-known boats are the 36 Sport, which combines social day-boating space with two private cabins, and the former 44 Yacht, more than 200 of which were produced during an 11-year run. Other popular models include the 28 Molokai, 42 Coupe, 42 Yacht, 46 Coupe, 46 Yacht, 50 Yacht and 54 Yacht.
Within the competitive catamaran market, Aquila occupies a premium production position that spans more boating styles than most rival brands. Its Yacht and Luxury ranges compete with cruising power catamarans from builders such as Leopard, Fountaine Pajot, Lagoon and Prestige, while the Molokai models reach into the offshore fishing category populated by brands such as World Cat and Freeman. The Sport and Coupe boats fill the space between those segments, delivering the stability and interior volume of a catamaran with the performance, outdoor living and ease of use associated with premium sport boats. This broad product strategy is Aquila’s primary distinction: buyers can remain within the brand while moving from a fishing-focused center console to a family dayboat, high-performance weekender or long-range cruising yacht. This market-positioning assessment is based on the breadth and intended uses of Aquila’s current lineup.
Aquila’s recent awards reflect the brand’s emphasis on innovation, performance and efficient use of space. The new Aquila 46 Yacht won the Power Catamaran 12–16 Meter category at the 2026 Yacht Style Awards, while the Aquila 46 Coupe received the Power Catamaran Under 15 Meters award at the 2025 edition. The flagship Aquila 70 Luxury also earned the 2025 Asian Marine & Boating Award for Best Motor Yacht from 40 to 75 feet, and Aquila was voted Favorite Power Catamaran in Southern Boating’s 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards. Owners use Molokai models for offshore fishing, diving and trips to remote fishing grounds; Sport and Coupe owners enjoy sandbars, swimming, watersports, waterfront dining and weekend escapes; and Yacht or Luxury owners use their boats for extended coastal cruising, island travel, entertaining and prolonged stays aboard. The wide beam, stability and expansive living spaces also make larger Aquilas appealing for cruising with children, multiple couples or charter guests.
Working with a Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales yacht broker can be especially valuable when purchasing an Aquila because power catamarans require considerations that differ from conventional monohull yachts. A JBYS broker can help compare models and layouts, locate available boats throughout the national brokerage market, analyze pricing, review maintenance records and arrange hull, mechanical and systems surveys. Buyers may also need guidance regarding marina slip width, haul-out availability, bridge clearance, propulsion choices, transportation and the condition of both hulls and engine compartments. Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales has more than 50 years of experience and nine offices across Michigan, Illinois, Ohio and Florida, giving its brokers knowledge of both Great Lakes and coastal cruising markets. JBYS can also coordinate financing, insurance, negotiations, documentation, sea trials and delivery, helping buyers select an Aquila that properly matches their preferred combination of fishing, entertaining, performance and extended cruising.
Aquila Catamarans is a global builder of purpose-designed power and sailing catamarans ranging from 28 to 70 feet. The brand offers offshore fishing boats, high-performance dayboats, enclosed coupe cruisers, flybridge cruising yachts and a 70-foot luxury flagship. Aquila is best known for combining twin-hull stability and interior volume with layouts designed for fishing, entertaining, family boating and extended cruising.
The modern Aquila range grew from a collaboration involving MarineMax, Sino Eagle Group, J&J Design and Seaway. Sino Eagle Yachts is responsible for manufacturing Aquila catamarans, while Aquila’s design and product-development teams work with experienced naval architects and marine-industry partners to develop each model for its intended purpose.
Aquila catamarans are manufactured at Sino Eagle’s production facility in Hangzhou, China. The facility uses modern composite-building equipment and production methods to construct the brand’s expanding range of power and sailing catamarans.
Aquila builds six primary categories of catamarans. The Molokai series consists of offshore fishing boats; the Sport series focuses on day boating and entertainment; the Coupe series combines sport-boat performance with enclosed cruising comfort; the Yacht series offers flybridges and long-range accommodations; the Luxury series is represented by the Aquila 70; and the growing Sail series brings Aquila’s multihull experience to sailing catamarans.
Aquila uses “pure-bred” to describe power catamarans designed from the beginning specifically for motorized operation. The hull shapes, weight distribution, propulsion systems and accommodations are engineered for power rather than adapted from sailing-catamaran designs after removing the mast and sailing equipment.
Aquila occupies a premium production position and offers one of the broadest model ranges in the catamaran market. The Molokai boats compete in the offshore fishing category, the Sport and Coupe models target buyers seeking performance and entertainment, and the Yacht and Luxury models appeal to customers comparing cruising power catamarans from Leopard, Fountaine Pajot, Lagoon, Prestige and other multihull builders. Aquila’s ability to serve several different boating lifestyles within one brand is one of its principal distinctions. This is a market-positioning assessment based on the breadth and intended uses of Aquila’s current range.
A power catamaran’s two widely separated hulls can provide greater initial stability, more usable beam, reduced rolling at rest and substantial interior volume for its length. Aquila also emphasizes shallow draft, efficient hull forms, multiple social areas and propulsion redundancy. Performance still varies by model, loading, engine selection and sea conditions, so buyers should compare actual sea-trial data rather than assuming every catamaran will perform identically.
Aquila designs its boats for a range of offshore and coastal conditions, but capability depends heavily on the particular model. Aquila’s Yacht models, including the 42, 46, 50 and 54 Yacht—and the 70 Luxury are built to CE Category A standards, while the outboard-powered Coupe, Sport and Molokai models generally target Category B as the highest applicable certification. A certification category does not replace sound seamanship, weather planning or operation within the captain’s experience.
Aquila uses composite construction methods that vary by model, including resin-infused hulls, decks, bulkheads and structural systems. For example, Aquila describes the 35 Sport as a fully composite, wood-free structure with vinylester resin infusion, while the 46 Yacht uses infused bulkheads and stringers and a one-shot molding process for major structural components. The condition of a pre-owned Aquila will still depend on maintenance, previous use, repairs and equipment care.
The Aquila Hydro Glide® is a carbon-fiber foil system designed to create lift between the hulls, reducing resistance and improving ride comfort and efficiency on compatible models. Aquila reports fuel-economy improvements of up to 40 percent in certain tests and configurations, including the 36 Sport, but actual results depend on speed, loading, engines, sea state and hull condition. The system is standard or optional depending on the model.
The Molokai range consists of offshore-oriented power catamarans designed around fishing, diving, professional use and rough-water day boating. Current models include the 28 Molokai, 28 Molokai Cuddy, 36 Molokai and 47 Molokai. Common characteristics include walkaround layouts, broad working decks, twin-hull stability and configurations that can transition from serious fishing to family recreation.
Aquila Coupe models use a single-level salon-and-cockpit arrangement, double-stepped hulls and either outboard or inboard propulsion to blend sport-boat performance with enclosed weather protection. Aquila Yacht models are wider flybridge catamarans designed around greater interior volume, multiple cabins, long-range cruising and extended stays aboard. The Coupe is generally the more performance-oriented weekend cruiser, while the Yacht is the more residential cruising platform.
Yes. Aquila has expanded beyond power catamarans with a new sailing range. The Aquila 50 Sail debuted in 2026 and offers diesel or hybrid-electric propulsion options, while the 45 Sail is scheduled to arrive in September 2026 and the 65 Sail is planned for 2028.
Yes, several Aquila power catamarans can complete the Great Loop, and Aquila owners have documented successful Loop trips. The wide beam requires careful route and marina planning, particularly when choosing locks, haul-out facilities and sections such as the Trent-Severn Waterway. Owners must also verify the individual boat’s air draft, beam, fuel range and mast or electronics configuration.
A Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales yacht broker can help locate pre-owned Aquilas throughout the national and international brokerage market, compare model generations and analyze asking prices. A JBYS broker can also help review maintenance and charter histories, arrange multihull and mechanical surveys, coordinate sea trials, negotiate purchase terms and assist with documentation, financing, insurance and delivery. JBYS has more than 50 years of company heritage, nine locations in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio and Florida, and more than 1,050 years of combined team experience. Its knowledge of both Great Lakes and Florida boating is particularly useful when evaluating Aquila dockage, seasonal storage, coastal delivery and the practical differences between owning a power catamaran and a conventional monohull yacht.
