Aquila

What Aquila does

Aquila (legally Aquila USA, Inc., also trading as Aquila Catamarans and Aquila Power Catamarans) is a Florida-based designer and manufacturer of luxury power and sail catamarans. Founded in 2014 and administered from St. Petersburg/Clearwater, Florida, the company builds a broad product portfolio spanning power catamarans from 28 to 70 feet across five series (Offshore/Molokai, Sport, Coupe, Yacht, and Luxury) and a newer sail catamaran line (45 Sail arriving 2026, 50 Sail, and 65 Sail arriving 2028). The vessels are differentiated by proprietary hull and usability features including wave piercing bulbous bows, submersible swim steps, and bridge-to-bow direct access, and, on 2026 Yacht Series vessels, a factory-installed Avikus NEUBOAT Dock II docking-assist system.

Commercially, Aquila is a hardware manufacturer generating revenue primarily through the sale of power catamarans, with a growing contribution expected from sail catamarans. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; individual authorized dealers set the actual transaction price in U.S. dollars, excluding destination, delivery, taxes, fees, and dealer-added options. The go-to-market motion is enterprise-style field sales through a global network of authorized dealers (including The Whitehaven Group, CFR Yacht Sales, and Hackshaw), reinforced by an event-driven strategy of debuting models at major international boat shows such as the Miami International Boat Show, Cannes Yachting Festival, and Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

The company targets two primary use-case segments: affluent luxury power-catamaran buyers seeking performance, stability, and entertainment capability, and sail-catamaran buyers seeking multihull sailing designs. Aquila reports delivery of 200+ hulls, distribution across 70+ countries, and staffing of 501–1,000 employees, and has accumulated multiple industry awards and nominations (Yacht Style Awards, Southern Boating Readers Choice, European Powerboat of the Year, and Multihull of the Year). It is privately held with no disclosed parent, private equity backing, or external funding.
