It looks like there’s no stopping Aquila Boats! Quite the contrary, in fact: following the 42 and 46 Coupe, the 46 Yacht and the highly anticipated 50 Sail, a fifth model in less than a year has been announced by the Chinese-American shipyard!
This is their 14th powercat model, and in the Sport range, this new 46 sits above the 32 and 36. Obviously, the double-chined hull and powerful propulsion promise excellent performance, with a top speed of nearly 45 knots and 35 knots cruising speed.
The emphasis has been placed on modularity at anchor, with a cockpit that transforms into an immense space thanks to the fold-down bulwarks and central sugarscoop, while the outdoor saloon can be transformed at will into an XXL sofa area, opposite a screen that is concealed in the athwartships galley unit. Four bucket seats face the ultra-connected helm station (full integration with Android and iOS systems). The yard has also fitted out a cozy double cabin with a full bathroom.
Discover the 46 Sport at the forthcoming Miami International Boat Show from February 11 to 15, 2026.
