Aquila 42 Coupe

With its Twin 440 HP Diesels, it reaches 40 knots!

We discovered this sporty powercat at Miami back in February... For its European debut, the Aquila 42 is bringing something new to the table with a powerful 2 x 440 HP Volvo drivetrain.


 Our video teaser: 


During our test in the Gulf of Fréjus in the South of France, we exceeded 40 knots. The standard foils are particularly effective between 20 and 30 knots, reducing fuel consumption while increasing sailing comfort.

The IPS system makes handling incredibly easy and allows you to hold the powercat “fast”, which is very useful when mooring.
On the water, with its compact silhouette, the 42 Coupe is positioned from the outset in the category of sports powercats. The design seeks to be rather modern and relatively discreet, but also in line with American standards: the bows retain a steep “conventional” slope.

On board, you can count on spacious relaxation areas. In the nacelle, there's a lounge, a large galley and a well-protected two-seater interior helm station. Multiple openings, including a forward door and a sunroof, facilitate circulation and ventilation. Each hull features a double cabin (the one to port being slightly larger) with private bathroom.

Note: the 42 Coupe is equipped with a foiling system that reduces fuel consumption while increasing comfort under way.
