Gravity Defying Aquila 42 Coupé: The Innovate Powercat Pushing 40-Knots with Superior Efficiency

Published: 21 Apr 2026
Discover the Aquila 42 Coupé, a game-changing catamaran delivering impressive speed and improved fuel efficiency with cutting-edge design elements.

Introducing the Aquila 42 Coupé, a fusion of agile performance and luxury befitting the most discerning of maritime enthusiasts. The coupé is not just a response to customers seeking fully enclosed shelter without the fuss, but a comprehensive reimagination of the sailing experience. Central to this innovation is the pioneering fixed carbon-fibre hydrofoil system. This system activates around 22 knots, leveraging the engines, freeing up the hull and translating into cruising speeds of 30-35 knots.

Brave the waters with a substantial reduction in fuel consumption, courtesy of the efficient hydrofoil system. Not just about speed, the Aquila 42 Coupé introduces a cruising range of 500nm powered by a pair of 440hp Volvo D6 sterndrives. An alternate propulsion option includes a pair of 400hp V10 outboards, although it cuts the cruising range by half.

The boat offers ensuite bedrooms in each hull and a distinctly structured forward lounge accessed through a bow door. Additionally, the aft patio allows you to open to either side, enhancing the usability and fluidity of the space. The meticulous attention to detail in seamlessly integrating the saloon with the cockpit elevates the onboard experience.

With a starting price of €916,000, this vessel stands alongside the Aquila 42 Fly. However, the extra investment for this speedy 40-knot sports coupé brings the robust vinylester resin-infused structure, ensuring superior stability to the cruiser variant. So it’s not just about high velocity but introducing a balanced blend of speed, efficiency, design, and luxury in the Aquila 42 Coupé.

Upping the game in yacht design, the Aquila 42 Coupé undoubtedly paves the way for the future of luxury boating.
