Aquila 46 Coupe

A Sporty Weekender

As a leading brand in the power catamaran sector, Aquila Power Catamarans recently unveiled a new Coupe series that slots in between the Sport and Yachts models. This new range is unique in that it can be powered by outboard or inboard engines. Multihulls World was one of the first in the boating media to take the helm of the 46 Coupe for a beautiful trip offshore from the coast of Florida.

The 46 Coupe immediately displays a sporty line, rather unusual for a powercat of this size.

The nacelle is spacious enough to offer good interior comfort, but the tunnel is still a good size. Note the seagull-wing design of the nacelle floor, which stiffens the structure and absorbs any slamming from the sea.

The lines are elegant and fluid, with beautiful proportions and a large area reserved for windows and portholes.

A Resolutely Sporty Line

Aesthetically, the 46 Coupe is reminiscent of both the 36 Sport and the 47 Molokai. This family resemblance makes sense, as the architect behind the 46 is none other than Chris Peart, who also designed the 47 Molokai. The result is a fluid, sporty line with traditional but particularly sharp bows, a very long hull porthole that emphasizes the silhouette, and a stern that softens to join the large swim platform. Rather high on the bow, the nacelle exte...
