Feast your eyes on the Aquila 44 catamaran from Singapore Yacht Show 2017

The Aquila 44 is a power catamaran recently unveiled at the Singapore Yacht Show 2017, built by the Hangzhou Sino Eagle Yacht Co in China. It is the latest model in the Aquila family and features a spacious 3-cabin/3-head layout that includes an owner’s cabin spanning the full 21’ beam. Instead of having all the cabins down into the two hulls, the Aquila 44 has the master suite situated below and forward of the saloon, slung beneath the bridge deck. The other two cabins are on the same level and accessed to port and starboard in the usual manner. Outside and upstairs, an extremely spacious flybridge provides sun pad seating on either side of the central helm station, an electric grill, and steps down to the bow area, which Aquila terms the ‘revolutionary bridge to bow direct access’. Powered by twin 225-hp Volvo-Penta diesels engines, the Aquila 44 has a leisurely cruising speed of 7 knots with the top speed being 17 knots. The Aquila 44 has an interesting feature that gives it greater speed, higher fuel efficiency and also makes the ride smoother even in choppier waters. And that feature is the bulbous bow, which adds to all the innovations in design that the Aquila boasts of.
