Aquila is launching a pair of sporty new Coupé powercats. The 42C and 46C will debut in February at the 2025 Miami Boat Show.

The first of a whole new Coupé line-up, they combine twin-step hulls and foil-assistance for fast, efficient cruising.

Called AHG (Aquila Hydro Glide), this comprises two carbon-fibre foils, one amidships, the other aft. These generate sufficient lift to raise the boat up, reduce the wetted surface and improve fuel efficiency but not actually to fly above the water.

The 42C will be offered with either twin 400hp Mercury Verado V10s or 380hp Volvo Penta D6 sterndrives. The bigger 46C will have the option of twin 600hp Mercury Verado V12s or twin 440hp Volvo sterndrives. Cat B certified, both models have shallow drafts and quoted top speeds of around 40 knots. The cruising range will be between 330-380nm, depending on engine choice, per the company.
