Aquila Catamarans, well-known for its excellence in power catamaran manufacturing, is set to unveil its latest creation, the
Aquila 45 Sport, at the
Miami International Boat Show from February 11-15, 2026. This innovative vessel represents a bold new step for Aquila, combining enhanced styling and cutting-edge technology in a sport boat series that redefines expectations on the water.
A New Era for Sport Boats
The 45 Sport is designed for a diverse array of activities. Whether one seeks thrilling day charters, immersive diving experiences, leisurely weekend retreats, or vibrant gatherings with loved ones, this boat aims to meet the needs of modern mariners. Jean Raas, the Chief Product Officer and CEO of Aquila USA, emphasizes the vision behind this model: "The 45 Sport reflects Aquila's continued push to reimagine what's possible on the water. We set out to create an entertainment platform that doesn't compromise on performance."
Performance and Speed
Performance is at the core of the Aquila 45 Sport’s design. Equipped with twin
600 HP Mercury Verado V12 outboard engines, this power catamaran boasts an impressive top speed exceeding
50 mph and a comfortable cruising speed of
38-40 mph. This means less time traveling and more time engaging in activities that boat enthusiasts love. The design also features a double-stepped hull, renowned for its stability and fuel efficiency, presenting a perfect balance between speed and comfort.
Innovative Design Features
Drawing inspiration from contemporary luxury SUVs, the
Aquila 45 Sport exudes a modern aesthetic with sharp, sleek lines. Developed in partnership with Florida's
Yacht Design Works, its design accentuates both performance and sophistication. With an expansive aft deck and impressive social spaces, it is designed to create unforgettable moments on the water, accommodating everything from tranquil days to lively gatherings.
Cutting-Edge Connectivity
In keeping with the times, the 45 Sport boasts state-of-the-art connectivity features. Offering full integration with
Android and
iOS devices, owners can manage and monitor various onboard systems such as underwater lighting and navigation systems directly from their smartphones. This user-friendly technology ensures a seamless connection between the boat and its operator.
An Entertainment Powerhouse
The heart of the Aquila 45 Sport is its generous aft cockpit, designed for entertainment and recreational activities. With flip-down gunwales that extend the open area to a dramatic
19 feet, guests can enjoy an immersive connection to the water. The U-shaped seating arrangements convert into a vast sunbed for relaxation, while a designated swim ladder enhances accessibility to the water.
A Forward-Thinking Helm Station
The helm station redefines standards with four seats focused on functionality. Featuring advanced controls such as flush-mount
16-inch chartplotters and a
Fusion Apollo marine stereo, the layout emphasizes user comfort and intuitive operations. Operators will appreciate the ergonomic throttle and joystick controls positioned for ease of use.
