Aquila 50ES

Aquila has announced that the Aquila 50 Sail will make its Europe debut as part of a four-vessel line-up at this year’s International Multihull Show, which will be held in La Grande Motte on the south coast of France from April 22-26. Show organisers already expect 52 sailing and 22 power multihulls, following last year’s introduction of a dedicated powercat zone.

Aquila is a world leader in powercats and last year announced it was developing a range of sailing cats designed by long-term collaborator J&J Design of Slovenia. The range started with the 50 Sail, which had its world premiere at this year’s Miami International Boat Show in February.

The unit on show in La Grande Motte will feature Aquila’s Hybrid Ocean Drive option and is known as the 50ES (electric sail). Signature features include stairs from the flybridge to the bow, a solid foredeck, and four to six cabins, each with a private entrance and en-suite bathroom.

Aquila’s powercats on display at La Grande Motte comprise the 50 Yacht, 46 Coupe and 32 Sport. A certified Category A, offshore-capable model, the 50 Yacht is part of Aquila’s flybridge powercat range and features ‘explorer’ styling. Standout features include an expansive flybridge, bridge-to-bow stairs, flexible sunpads in the foredeck, a bar in the cockpit and up to four cabins below.

The 46 Coupe is the larger of two models that launched Aquila’s line of enclosed cruisers last year, while the 32 Sport is part of the brand’s original line of open outboard cruisers.

We return with an exciting and varied line up. The line-up caters to a range of buyers, so whatever your passion is and however you enjoy time on the water, Aquila has a solution on display at the International Multihull Show.”
