A New Chapter in Aquila’s Evolution

Aquila Power Catamarans is redefining what a 46-foot yacht can be. Set to debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2025, followed by the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in October, the Aquila 46 Yacht delivers on the brand’s hallmark values—performance, luxury, and innovation—with a more intimate footprint that doesn't compromise on capability.

Designed for discerning owners who want large-yacht amenities in a more manageable format, this latest model carries forward the celebrated “Explorer” aesthetic from the Aquila 50 Yacht while introducing thoughtful refinements for long-range cruising, stylish entertaining, and elevated living at sea.

Expansive Living in a 46-Foot Package

At the heart of the Aquila 46 Yacht’s appeal is its 23'3" beam—an architectural decision that unlocks volumes of interior space uncommon in this size class. Panoramic windows wrap the open-concept salon in natural light, framing views that blur the line between indoors and out. The full galley includes residential-grade refrigeration and an induction cooktop, while the rear salon window and sliding entrance door create a seamless transition to the aft deck—ideal for entertaining at anchor or underway.

An optional interior helm caters to all-weather navigation, allowing year-round comfort without sacrificing the yacht’s fluid, social layout. Every inch of the design has been optimized for flexibility—elegant enough for private cruising, functional enough for small-crew operations, and versatile enough for charter opportunities.

Configurable Comfort: Three to Five Cabins

Below deck, owners can choose between three, four, or five-cabin layouts, depending on personal cruising style or guest requirements. A standout among the options is the full-beam master suite, which features a king-size bed, ample storage, en-suite bath with a separate shower, and sweeping sea views—an offering more common on 60+ footers than a yacht in this category.

Aquila’s flexibility is especially evident in the convertible four-cabin version, which can be reconfigured to a three-cabin layout as needs evolve. For those looking to maximize capacity for charters or family voyages, the five-cabin option offers space without sacrificing flow or finish.

Outdoor Living Spaces Designed for Connection

The flybridge, with its commanding helm, wraparound lounges, and direct bow access, becomes the hub of open-air enjoyment. Down below, expansive exterior decks are crafted for everything from sun-drenched relaxation to cocktails under the stars. The design is equally attuned to moments of solitude as it is to lively group gatherings—another nod to Aquila’s deep understanding of modern yacht ownership.

Innovation at the Helm

True to Aquila’s commitment to cutting-edge marine engineering, the 46 Yacht can be equipped with several advanced systems, including the Hydro Glide® foil system for improved fuel efficiency and ride stability. Standard C-Zone digital switching offers intuitive control over onboard systems, while the option to integrate a lithium battery system supports energy-conscious cruising.

These enhancements speak to Aquila’s forward-thinking approach: build vessels that are as technically advanced as they are livable.

“This yacht delivers the spaciousness, capability, and luxury our customers expect from Aquila, while maintaining the intimate scale that makes it perfect for couples or smaller groups.”

Jean Raas, Chief Product Officer and CEO of Aquila USA

Setting a New Benchmark in Compact Luxury Yachting

As the global demand for efficient yet luxurious yachts continues to grow, the Aquila 46 Yacht stands out for its ability to cater to multiple lifestyles—whether it’s a couple seeking coastal getaways, a family exploring distant shores, or an entrepreneur entering the charter market.

“Every element has been designed to enhance the owner's experience on the water.”

Alain Raas, Aquila’s Global Brand Director

And with Aquila’s track record for quality composite construction and intelligent design—manufactured at Sino Eagle Yachts’ state-of-the-art facility—the 46 Yacht is poised to become a new benchmark in the power catamaran category.
