Broker Overview

The 2018 Aquila 44, 'Mimi's Oasis', presents a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking a well-maintained, privately-owned cruising catamaran. Unlike many Aquila 44s, this vessel has never seen charter service, which translates directly to less wear and tear and a higher standard of care. The Aquila 44 is renowned for its expansive interior volume, offering accommodations typically found in much larger monohulls, including a full-beam primary stateroom and two additional cabins, each with a private head and enclosed shower. Power is delivered by twin Volvo D-4 engines, providing reliable and efficient propulsion for coastal and extended cruising. The inclusion of a lower helm station, along with a flybridge helm, offers versatility in varying weather conditions and enhances docking visibility. Recent upgrades, including new custom sun pads, Strataglas enclosures, and a new A/C chiller, demonstrate a commitment to upkeep. This model is a strong contender for those prioritizing space, comfort, and a proven cruising platform without the compromises often associated with ex-charter vessels. The asking price of $799,000 for a privately-owned 2018 model represents a competitive value in today's market, particularly given its condition and recent enhancements.

Expert Review

The Aquila 44 is a robustly built cruising catamaran, known for its stability and comfortable ride, particularly in moderate seas. Construction quality is solid fiberglass, designed for durability. This specific 2018 model, 'Mimi's Oasis', benefits immensely from its private ownership history, which typically means more diligent maintenance compared to charter fleets. The Volvo D-4 engines are a proven power plant, offering a good balance of power and fuel efficiency. When surveying, pay close attention to the condition of the sail drives, if applicable, and ensure all recent upgrades, particularly the A/C chiller, are fully operational and properly installed. Inspect the hull for any signs of impact, though the catamaran design generally offers good protection. Comparables would include Leopard and Fountaine Pajot catamarans of similar vintage, but the Aquila 44 often stands out for its innovative interior volume and dedicated flybridge space. Value for money here is strong, especially considering the 'never chartered' status.
