GO COOL PLACES IN QUEENSLAND
Queensland boaters are spoilt with some of the most diverse cruising grounds in Australia. From the Gold Coast Broadwater and Moreton Bay to the Whitsundays and the countless islands scattered along the coastline, local conditions demand a boat that can do everything. It needs to be comfortable enough for extended cruising, practical enough for entertaining family and friends, fast enough to cover long distances, and capable of exploring shallow waterways and sandy beaches. The Aquila Coupe range delivers exactly that. Available in the impressive Aquila 42 Coupe and Aquila 46 Coupe models, these innovative power catamarans combine the excitement of a high-performance sport boat with the luxury and accommodation of a much larger yacht. For Queensland boaters, it is a combination that makes perfect sense.
One of the greatest advantages of the Coupe series is its catamaran design. The wide beam creates extraordinary internal volume, providing living spaces that feel significantly larger than a traditional monohull of similar length. Large saloons, generous cabins and expansive entertaining areas ensure there is room for everyone to relax in comfort, whether spending the day on the water or enjoying an extended holiday cruise. The stability of the twin-hull platform also enhances onboard comfort, reducing roll at anchor and providing confidence when travelling offshore.
The shallow draft is another major advantage for Queensland conditions. Owners can confidently explore sandbanks, anchor close to secluded beaches and access waterways that may be off-limits to deeper-draft vessels. With outboard-powered versions available, beach adventures become part of the experience. Pull up on a sandy shoreline, step ashore with ease and enjoy the freedom that only a shallow-draft power catamaran can provide. Whether it’s a day spent at Tipplers, South Stradbroke Island, Peel Island or one of the many hidden anchorages throughout Moreton Bay, the Aquila Coupe opens up a world of possibilities.
Performance is equally impressive. The Aquila Hydro Glide® Foil System improves efficiency and enhances ride comfort, helping the boat glide smoothly through varying sea conditions. Combined with the advanced double-stepped hull design, the Coupe range delivers excellent fuel efficiency, responsive handling and impressive cruising speeds. It is a boat designed for owners who want to maximise their time on the water, spending less time travelling and more time enjoying their destination. Fast passages between destinations become effortless, allowing owners to comfortably explore further afield without sacrificing comfort. Entertaining is where the Coupe range truly shines.
The open-plan layout seamlessly connects the cockpit, saloon and outdoor relaxation areas, creating a social environment that encourages interaction and enjoyment. Large windows flood the interior with natural light, while the contemporary styling creates a sophisticated atmosphere. Whether hosting sunset drinks at South Stradbroke Island, entertaining friends in the Broadwater or spending a weekend on Moreton Island, the Aquila Coupe provides the perfect platform.
Overnight cruising is equally rewarding. Spacious accommodation, private en-suite bathrooms, premium finishes and abundant natural light create a comfortable retreat after a day on the water. Families can enjoy extended adventures, while couples can escape for luxurious weekends away without sacrificing any of the comforts of home. Well-equipped galleys, generous storage and practical layouts make longer journeys both comfortable and enjoyable. The Aquila 42 Coupe and Aquila 46 Coupe represent a modern approach to boating, combining performance, luxury, practicality and freedom in one stylish package. They are fast when you want speed, comfortable when you want to relax, spacious when entertaining guests and versatile enough to explore Queensland’s spectacular waterways. Few boats can genuinely claim to offer such a complete boating lifestyle.
For boaters who refuse to compromise between performance and comfort, the Aquila Coupe range proves that you really can have it all. From entertaining on the Broadwater to island-hopping through the Whitsundays, these remarkable power catamarans are perfectly suited to the Queensland lifestyle, delivering memorable experiences on every voyage.
