Experience the Aquila 42 Coupé: An Elegant Powercat Pushing Boundaries of Speed and Efficiency

Published: 21 Apr 2026
Unveiling the Aquila 42 Coupé, a gravity-defying powercat, combining speed, efficiency, and luxury living in its innovative design and build.

Meet the Aquila 42 Coupé, a powercat that dares to challenge conventional boating norms with its inspired features. Born from customer demand for a boat offering shelter without the hassle of flapping canvases, this boat goes beyond expectations. Its distinguishing feature? A fixed hydrofoil system crafted from carbon-fibre, promising exhilarating speed and efficiency.

Aquila claims that pushing the boat to roughly 22 knots, then adjusting the hydrofoil angle by motor leg trimming, enables the hull to free up, thus pushing the speeds to an impressive 30-35 knots, all while reducing fuel consumption by a substantial 20% on each nautical mile.

Step inside the Aquila 42 Coupé and discover a spacious saloon that rivals the volume of a 50ft monohull. The absence of proper side decks helps accentuate the sense of space. The lounge is a generous expanse equipped with comfortable seating opposite the two-man helm. An extensive C-shaped dinette sits opposite the long L-shaped starboard galley.

Within its confines, the Aquila 42 Coupé hosts an ensuite bedroom in each hull, a squared-off forward lounge accessed through a bow door, and a three-section sliding aft patio door. This potent combination of features offers comprehensive integration of saloon and cockpit, while maintaining the boat’s inherent sense of space and luxury.

The Aquila 42 Coupé does come with a lofty price tag, mirroring its companion, Aquila 42 Fly. However, the steep cost underlines the emphasis on a robust, vinylester resin-infused structure that ensures speed without compromising on integrity or comfort. Venture into the future of sailing with the Aquila 42 Coupé - a powercat that challenges gravity and reshapes expectations.
