Broker Overview

The 2024 Aquila 44 Yacht represents a compelling offering in the mid-size luxury catamaran market, particularly for buyers prioritizing space, efficiency, and ease of operation. This vessel, located in Palm Beach, is a well-maintained example of a popular model. Its twin Volvo Penta diesels are strategically situated aft, a design choice that significantly reduces noise and vibration in the living compartments, enhancing onboard comfort. The inclusion of bulbous bows is a notable engineering feature, increasing waterline efficiency and mitigating pitching, which translates to a smoother ride and better fuel economy. While it lacks thrusters, the combination of joystick operation and widely spaced main engines makes docking and maneuvering surprisingly straightforward, even for a couple. The 3-cabin layout, coupled with a salon and galley offering 360-degree views, provides exceptional living and entertaining space for its length. The design thoughtfully integrates indoor and outdoor areas, from the extensive flybridge to the aft deck with its al fresco dinette and service bar. This specific vessel, being a 2024 model, offers a near-new ownership experience without the lead time of a new build, representing a strong value proposition in today's market.

Expert Review

The Aquila 44 is a well-regarded power catamaran, known for its robust fiberglass construction and intelligent design. Build quality is generally solid, with attention paid to maximizing usable space and creating a comfortable cruising platform. Sea-keeping is commendable for a catamaran of this size, offering stability and a relatively dry ride, especially with the bulbous bow design. For a vessel of its year and condition, the asking price of $999,000 presents a competitive value, particularly considering the immediate availability of a 2024 model. Prospective buyers should focus their survey on standard catamaran checks: hull integrity, engine service records for the Volvo Pentas, and ensuring all systems – particularly the lifting window partition and galley appliances – are fully functional. Given its design for ease of operation, verifying the joystick controls and engine monitoring displays are in top order is also prudent. This is a boat designed for practical, comfortable cruising and entertaining.

Full Listing Description

Two Volvo Penta diesels are situated aft behind the living compartments reducing noise and vibrations. Bulbous bows increase the waterline for greater efficiency while reducing pitching moments. Multifunction displays, digital controls, joystick operation, engine monitoring displays, thrusters, and widely spaced main engines make operating the Aquila 44 Yacht easily accomplished by a single couple.

With an enormous amount of attention to detail and knowledge of how owners use their boats, both the exterior and interior spaces are perfected to serve those utilizations. The stairway from the flybridge to the foredeck gives safe easy access to the ground tackle locker and forward cleats when anchoring or docking. Wide side decks and safety handrails are another example of the Aquila 44’s commitment to owner’s and guests’ comfort and safety. 

Available with a 3-cabin layout featuring a salon and galley with 360° views and an extensive flybridge, the layout of the Aquila 44 Yacht makes entertaining a crowd aboard easy. Boarding from the port or starboard swim platforms, guest step up to the aft deck with an al fresco dinette. The window partition between the aft deck and the interior galley lifts and the countertop folds out to create a service bar. The galley is strategically placed between the aft deck and the salon and dinette on the main deck making it easy to serve guest inside and outside. A summer kitchen is centrally located to attend to guests in the aft mounted dinette and those on the flybridge can enjoy panoramic views along with the operator while underway.
