Aquila Sets Sail with New Catamaran Models
Aquila has long been known for its quality power catamarans, and now, the company is diving into the world of sailing catamarans. The introduction of the new models—Aquila 44ES, 50ES, and 63ES—marks a significant expansion in their portfolio, demonstrating a commitment to advancing sailing technology and design.
Innovative Design and Features
The new sailing catamarans from Aquila are not just vessels; they are a blend of luxury and functionality. The design showcases a unique forward cockpit that is perfect for social gatherings, providing an inviting space where sailors can enjoy the surrounding vistas. Each model also offers private cabins, ensuring personal space with ensuite heads and walk-in showers for comfort during extended trips.
Enhanced Accessibility and Comfort
Features like bridge-to-bow stairs enhance accessibility, making it easy for everyone on board to move around safely. The spacious salon bar area invites relaxation, encouraging conviviality among crew members and guests alike. The incorporation of panoramic windows means natural light floods the interior, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Hybrid Propulsion for Seamless Sailing
At the heart of these sailing catamarans is Aquila's innovative Hybrid Ocean Drive™, an integrated hybrid system that combines electric and diesel power. This allows for quiet, efficient sailing in calm waters and the option of diesel power when stronger performance is needed. This system has been carefully engineered from the ground up and promises to provide an exceptional sailing experience.
Commitment to Quality Manufacturing
Manufactured by Sino Eagle at a state-of-the-art facility, the crafting of Aquila catamarans adheres to strict quality standards. The production employs advanced composite materials, ensuring durability and longevity, while computer-aided design techniques optimize hull performance. Furthermore, rigorous quality checks throughout the manufacturing process guarantee customers receive only the best.
Team of Sailing Experts
Leading the charge in the development of these sailing catamarans is a seasoned team of sailing veterans, including CEO Jean Raas, a former US National Sailing Team member. The team draws from decades of combined experience in sailing, design, and catamaran manufacturing, making it well-equipped to deliver a product that truly caters to the needs of sailors.
Collaboration with Experienced Distributors
To ensure these catamarans reach enthusiasts effectively, Aquila has partnered with The Catamaran Company for distribution across the United States, Mexico, and the Caribbean. This long-standing company brings a wealth of knowledge in catamaran sales and service, perfectly aligning with Aquila’s mission to cater to the sailing community.
Upcoming Debuts and Future Plans
The exciting new line of Aquila sailing catamarans will make its debut at the forthcoming Annapolis Boat Show, with models and materials available for exploration. Enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the chance to see the Aquila 50 model at the Miami Boat Show shortly thereafter.
Pricing and additional delivery information are set to be revealed during these major boat shows, with plans for international distribution also in the works.
