Yacht brands

At the Grande Motte International Multihull Show 2026, the brand-new Aquila 50 Yacht made its global debut. In a detailed video tour by Toby Hodges of Yachting World, this massive vessel was revealed as Aquila's first-ever entry into the sailing catamaran market. Renowned for building popular power catamarans for 14 years, Aquila partnered with J&J Design to bring their powerboat expertise to the voluminous cruising sail market.

Aquila Catamarans will introduce two new models at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 in France, where the brand will display seven boats in total from 8 to 13 September. The lineup includes the world debuts of the Aquila 45 Sail and Aquila 35 Sport, as well as the European debut of the Aquila 45 Sport.

The world of power catamarans is evolving rapidly, moving away from the image of slow, heavy cruising vessels toward sleek, high-performance machines. A standout in this category is the YOT 41, a rapid open dayboat designed by the Katana Group that challenges traditional nautical rules. Drawing on an extensive tour by Hugo Andreae from Motor Boat & Yachting, this article explores how the YOT 41 combines blistering speed with innovative living spaces to create a unique proposition on the water.

The Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, taking place from May 21 to 24, will feature the largest display of Aquila models ever seen in Australia. Whitehaven Marine, the official dealer for Aquila in Australia and New Zealand, will showcase seven models, including the complete Yacht range, at Marina F Pier, writes Aquilaboats.
