From 8–13 September, Aquila Catamarans returns to the Cannes Yachting Festival with its most comprehensive display to date, showcasing both its award-winning power catamarans and its new sailing range.
For the first time at Cannes, Aquila will feature a dedicated sailing catamaran display alongside its established power catamaran exhibit, allowing visitors to experience the full breadth of one of the world’s leading multihull brands.
As Aquila Catamarans’ exclusive dealer in Portugal, Alura Yachting will once again be attending the festival. Visitors interested in discovering the Aquila range can request their Cannes Yachting Festival invitation through Alura Yachting, while Ricardo Martins will be available throughout the event to arrange private viewings and introduce visitors to the models on display.
A New Chapter for Aquila
Over the past decade, Aquila has established itself as one of the most recognised names in power catamarans, building a reputation for innovative layouts, practical cruising solutions and exceptional onboard living.
This year marks another significant milestone for the brand. Following the successful launch of its first sailing model earlier this year, Aquila arrives at Cannes with an expanded sailing range while continuing to grow its power lineup with new models that reflect the same design philosophy: generous living spaces, intelligent layouts and genuine offshore capability.
The Sailing Lineup
At Port Canto, visitors will have the opportunity to discover Aquila’s growing sailing range, marking the brand’s latest chapter and showcasing its vision for modern cruising under sail.
Aquila 45 Sail — World Debut
The centrepiece of Aquila’s sailing display is the world premiere of the Aquila 45 Sail.
Designed from the ground up as a cruising catamaran rather than an adaptation of an existing power platform, the 45 Sail introduces several features that distinguish it within its class. Its innovative fixed bow cockpit replaces the traditional trampoline with a genuine social space, while bridge-to-bow access from the flybridge improves movement throughout the yacht.
Available in three or four-cabin layouts, the yacht combines generous interior volume, panoramic glazing and practical liveaboard features with a sail plan designed for comfortable offshore cruising, earning CE Category A certification.
Aquila 50 Sail
Joining the new 45 Sail is the Aquila 50 Sail, the model that marked Aquila’s entry into the sailing catamaran market.
Designed for owners seeking extended cruising capability, the 50 Sail combines spacious accommodation with innovative features including the signature solid foredeck, private cabin entrances and the option of Aquila’s Hybrid Ocean Drive™ propulsion system. Its emphasis on comfort, practicality and ease of operation reflects the same philosophy that has made Aquila’s power catamarans so successful.
The Power Catamaran Display
At the Vieux Port, visitors will have the opportunity to discover Aquila’s most comprehensive power catamaran display to date, showcasing the breadth of the brand’s expanding portfolio.
Aquila 35 Sport — World Debut
Making its world premiere at Cannes, the Aquila 35 Sport becomes the newest addition to Aquila’s growing Sport range.
Inspired by the bold styling of the flagship 45 Sport, it delivers the space, stability and versatility expected from a catamaran in a more compact package. A generous 4.49-metre beam, four distinct social areas, a private cabin below deck and twin Mercury Verado outboards make it equally suited to entertaining, watersports and weekend cruising, while offering considerably more usable space than a traditional monohull of similar length.
Aquila 45 Sport — European Debut
Together with the world premiere of the Aquila 35 Sport, the Aquila 45 Sport makes its European debut at Cannes.
Powered by twin Mercury V12 outboards, the 45 Sport combines exhilarating performance with generous entertaining spaces. Fold-down side terraces, a completely flat deck layout and expansive seating create an open platform designed for socialising, watersports and day cruising, while a stylish cabin below deck offers comfortable overnight accommodation.
Aquila 46 Coupe
Also on display will be the Aquila 46 Coupe, combining the comfort of an enclosed cruising yacht with the performance and efficiency expected from a modern power catamaran.
Its spacious saloon, sheltered cockpit and practical accommodation make it an excellent choice for owners looking to extend their cruising season, while Aquila’s Hydro Glide® foil technology enhances efficiency, ride comfort and overall performance underway.
Aquila 46 Yacht
Designed for owners seeking long-range cruising capability, the Aquila 46 Yacht blends contemporary styling with practical onboard living. A spacious flybridge, full-beam owner’s cabin, panoramic glazing and multiple accommodation layouts make it equally suited to family cruising and extended stays aboard. CE Category A certification and the option of Hydro Glide® foil technology further reinforce its offshore credentials.
Aquila 50 Yacht
Also on display will be the Aquila 50 Yacht, one of the flagship models in Aquila’s power range. Designed for extended cruising in complete comfort, it combines expansive interior volume with multiple outdoor entertaining areas, including a generous flybridge and aft cockpit. Flexible accommodation layouts, refined finishes and long-range capability have made the 50 Yacht one of Aquila’s most successful luxury cruising catamarans.

With dedicated sailing and power displays featuring seven models, visitors can experience firsthand a big breadth of Aquila’s portfolio in one place, from innovative day boats to long-range cruising catamarans, while discovering the design philosophy that has made the brand one of the industry’s fastest-growing multihull builders.
