Aquila 50 Yacht

A Nacelle with an Owner’s Cabin

The latest addition to the Aquila range takes a major step forward with, for the first time, an owner’s cabin that is an integral part of the nacelle. The exterior styling of the 50 Yacht also evolves, with a more assertive design and top-of-the-range features for both outdoor living and nights at anchor.

The Aquila 50 Yacht is designed by J&J Design and marks a clear evolution in Aquila styling: the deck line of the 50 Yacht is much higher than on previous models, particularly at the bow.

Once on the plane, the Aquila 50 greatly reduces its wetted surface, and its very high bow offers effective protection, even in choppy waters.

From the bow, the thickness of the nacelle is impressive, a great promise for the catamaran’s habitability.

The 50 Yacht is, as its name suggests, affiliated to the Chinese American manufacturer’s Yacht range, which extends from 42 to 54 feet. Unlike the 42, Aquila did not call on VPLP this time, but worked with J&J Design, which had already worked on the 70 and 44 and has an impressive list of achievements to its credit.
In the organization of the range, the 50 succeeds the 48, which disappeared a few years ago, but the newcomer boasts a totally different design. To create this catamaran, Aquila was strongly inspired by the customer feedback and requests. This is reflected in the addition of an owner’s cabin on the main deck, a feature that appeals to customers seeking the ultimate in “at-home” comfort.
Another major development for Aquila is that the freeboard of the 50 is much higher than on previous models, particularly as you go forward, with a deck line that rises towards the bow. Internally dubbed the “Explorer” style, it protects the bow while offering remarkable interior space. The result is a rather massive impression, as the new Aquila looks well over 50 feet long.
