Aquila 42 Coupe

New Build
Aquila 42? Coupe – Where Sport Boat Thrills Meet Yacht Level Comfort
The Aquila? 42? Coupe Power Catamaran redefines the weekend escape. At nearly 43 feet in length, with a 15 foot 11 inches beam, this sleek cat offers both exhilarating performance and spacious luxury. With two private cabins, en suite showers, and a single level layout that flows effortlessly from salon to aft deck, she delivers the comfort you expect in a yacht—yet feels lively like a sport boat, thanks to her double stepped hull and Aquila Hydro Glide carbon fiber foil system.

From breezy day trips to extended cruising, this cat is designed to take you farther, faster, and more comfortably—without ever compromising on style or functionality.

Construction and Design

Built using advanced resin?infused vinylester materials throughout hull and deck, including internal reinforcements and structural bulkheads, the 42 ?Coupe is engineered for rigidity, durability, and long term integrity. The use of PVC core materials, instead of plywood, eliminates the risk of rot and lowers maintenance, while high stress areas are strengthened with carbon fiber. Watertight bulkheads at both ends ensure safety and structural stability, while the seamless hull deck construction enhances strength and minimizes noise.

Double stepped hulls improve handling in chop, and the Aquila Hydro Glide foil system adds lift at speed—boosting efficiency, stability, and ride comfort.

Here’s how she measures up:

• Length overall with outboards and anchor 42 feet 10 inches
• Length overall with inboards and anchor 42 feet 3 inches
• Beam 15 feet 11 inches
• Height above waterline with hardtop 10 feet 3 inches
• Draft with outboards up and foil deployed 2 feet 10 inches
• Draft with outboards down 2 feet 11 inches

• Holding tank capacity 42 gallons (160 liters)

• CE certification enables up to 12 passengers offshore Category B, 20 passengers coastal Category C, and 29 passengers inland Category D

These figures define a stable, oceanable catamaran with yacht like proportions and accessible draft.

Performance & Handling

The 42? Coupe delivers impressive performance and efficiency:

Powered by twin 400 hp Mercury Verado V10 outboards, she delivers a lively ride with a top speed of approximately 46 to 47 miles per hour, and a fast cruise at 35 to 37 mph. At cruising pace, she fires onto the foil around 17 knots, reducing hull drag and delivering exceptional fuel economy for a boat this size.

Test data reveals efficient cruise results at around 4,500 rpm and 24 knots, burning much less fuel than typical cats her size, while offering a range of about 300 nautical miles at this speed.

Whether running coastal passages or exploring distant coves, she balances performance with economy.

Interior Layout & Livability

The single level layout makes living effortless. Boarding is safe via port and starboard cockpit doors. The lounging salon on the main deck invites indoor?outdoor living, and a large aft sliding glass door blends the cockpit and saloon into one generous area.

Two private cabins, each with en suite shower and head, bookend the main salon—ideal for overnight escapes or charter use. The port hull houses a master suite; the starboard contains a VIP suite. A well?appointed galley to starboard includes storage, sink, microwave, and utility space. An electric powered forward hatch/door lets you access the bow seating, bringing sun and airflow into the salon.

Large tempered glass windows wrap the interior in natural light, while manual or electric sunroof options enhance ventilation and open air experience.

Outdoor Areas & Features

Semi foiling hulls and wide beam bring spacious bow lounges that seat four comfortably behind high backs and armrests—ideal for cockpit gravy or casual sunning. Storage lies beneath these seats.

The cockpit offers flexible seating with a sun lounger on the starboard side that converts to forward seating or sun pad. A Corian surface atop storage boxes creates an ideal prep station, and options include a submerging electric BBQ, fridge, or drop down table. Stainless steel railings, safety gates, and teak steps on a retractable ladder ensure comfort and security when boarding or swimming.

Additional features include joystick piloting, digital circuit switching, optional synthetic teak decking, electric sunroof, retractable canvas shade systems, and optional generator or lithium battery packages—making the 42?Coupe equipped for modern aspirations.
