In the world of 50-foot power catamarans, competition is increasingly fierce. To consolidate its leading position, Aquila has decided to move upmarket. The manufacturer has also chosen the path of innovation, with a deck layout that has been thoroughly revised.
With the 50 Yacht, Aquila offers a catamaran with an owner's cabin on the same level as the main deck, a concept that was previously reserved for much larger powercats. In any case, the layout is perfectly adapted for Aquila's target audience. The new Aquila doesn't stop there as it propose well-separated living spaces in the cockpit, on the foredeck, inside and, of course and on the flybridge. The flybridge is also one of this powercat's major assets, as it has been designed with entertaining in mind.
As an American boat, the standard equipment on the 50 Yacht is quite generous, right from the basic version. If that's not enough for you, there's a long list of options for personalizing your boat as you see fit.
Tough competition in the Catamaran's World
The Aquila 50 Yacht will face stiff competition from the Prestige M48, the surprising Omaya 50, the Leen 51, the Iliad 53 and the traditional Horizon PC52.
These are well-established players, but they don't offer an owner's cabin on the same level as the deck, and that's certainly where Aquila will make the difference.
By positioning the 50 as a direct competitor to monohull yachts, Aquila is targeting a larger market, but also more potential competitors. To meet these challenges, Aquila is counting on on-board space, which is far more generous than on a traditional 50-foot yacht.
Finally, with a starting price of just under $1.3 million, the Aquila is well placed in the face of growing competition.
