Great sailing adventures begin with great boats. Aquila’s new sailing catamaran fleet—the 45, 50, and 65 Sail—delivers through thoughtful design that maximises space, functionality, cruising comfort, and quality. Every detail matters when you’re living aboard, from our innovative fixed bow for entertaining and relaxing, to your choice of diesel or whisper-quiet Hybrid Ocean Drive™ to match your cruising style.
While other manufacturers focus on the obvious, Aquila sweats the details that make the difference. Our fixed bow design transforms the traditional catamaran experience, replacing mesh trampolines with a solid platform perfect for morning yoga, evening cocktails, or simply a beautiful location to relax while under sail. Bridge-to-bow access allows quick and easy access from the flybridge to the foredeck cockpit, whether you’re adjusting lines or chasing the perfect sunset photo. Inside, panoramic windows dissolve the barrier between interior comfort and nature’s endless theater. Spacious saloons and galleys become your floating command centre, equipped for everything from meal preparation to navigation planning. Choose from 4, 5, or 6-cabin configurations, each featuring private entrances that give every guest their own personal retreat.
KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS
Fixed Bow / Solid Foredeck
Most sailing cats give you a trampoline and call it a foredeck. The 50 Sail gives you a solid platform, a real space to gather, relax, or just watch the water go by from the best seat on the boat. The fixed bow isn’t just a design choice, it’s a philosophy. More usable space, more ways to enjoy the time between passages, more reasons to stay out longer.
Hybrid Ocean Drive™ (Torqeedo)
Silent in the marina, silent in the anchorage, silent when the wind goes soft. The Hybrid Ocean Drive™ brings twin 50kW Torqeedo inboards and an 80kWh battery to a sailing cat, because leaving a lighter footprint shouldn’t mean leaving performance behind.
Cabin Flexibility (4/5/6 configurations)
The 50 Sail offers 4, 5, or 6 cabin configurations, each one designed so that every person aboard has their own space, their own head, and their own door. Ownership or charter, the flexibility is built in. All with private entrances and ensuite heads. So whether you’re hosting family, guests, or paying charterers, everyone on board gets genuine privacy — not just a curtain and a shared bathroom.”
CE Category A Ocean Rating
Certified for ocean passages, just as comfortable on a weekend in the islands. The 50 Sail was built without compromise for wherever you decide to point the bow.
Sail Plan
Serious canvas for serious passages. Whether you’re reaching in the trades or punching upwind, the 50 Sail has the sail area to move — and move well.
The 50 Sail carries a full batten main, furling genoa, and an optional square top and Code 0 that push total sail area past 1,748 sq ft. Built to move in the conditions that actually matter.
Interior Finish
Full-size French door refrigerator. Four-burner induction stove. Corian countertops. Memory foam throughout. The 50 Sail’s interior was finished to a standard that has nothing to do with the size of the slip.
Entertaining Space
Twelve at the cockpit table. Eight on the flybridge. A bar, a BBQ, and a fixed bow platform that turns the foredeck into a venue. The 50 Sail was built for the kind of days that turn into stories. From sunrise on the bow to dinner under the stars, the 50 Sail gives every gathering the space it deserves.
Generous interiors provide genuine comfort during extended passages, while superior construction practices ensure reliability whether coastal cruising or venturing off-grid.
Whether pursuing private ownership or charter opportunities, these catamarans offer the cruising excellence Aquila is renowned for with innovations that elevate every aspect of your sailing experience.
