Aquila 42 Coupe: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Aquila 42 Coupe represents a new line from Aquila, distinguished by its innovative hull design featuring a carbon fiber hydrofoil positioned between the twin hulls. This foil enhances performance and comfort by lifting the boat partially out of the water, reducing drag and improving fuel efficiency. Powered by twin Mercury V10 Verado engines, the boat achieves impressive speeds close to 50 miles per hour despite what might seem like modest horsepower for its size. The vessel is versatile, suitable as a day boat, weekender, or distance cruiser.
Exterior Design and Hull Features
The Aquila 42 measures 42 feet 10 inches in length overall, with a beam of 15 feet 11 inches and a draft of 2 feet 11 inches. Its hull incorporates a U-shaped carbon fiber foil located midships between the twin hulls, protruding slightly below the keels but remaining higher than the skegs. This foil, shaped like an airplane wing, generates lift that raises the boat approximately six inches out of the water, reducing wetted surface area and drag. Additionally, the hull features a double-step design to further enhance efficiency. Despite the foil's size and positioning, the boat maintains a shallow draft, enabling beaching and operation in shallow waters without difficulty. The design also allows the boat to be accommodated on a boat lift.
Power and Performance
Equipped with twin Mercury 400-horsepower Verado engines turning RevX propellers, the Aquila 42 delivers a top speed of 46.2 miles per hour at 6,200 RPM. The optimal cruising speed is around 35.3 miles per hour at 5,000 RPM, achieving approximately 0.8 miles per gallon and a range near 339 statute miles with a 10% fuel reserve. The boat accelerates from zero to 10 miles per hour in 3.3 seconds, reaches 20 miles per hour in 11.8 seconds, and 30 miles per hour in 21.4 seconds. The hydrofoil significantly improves efficiency by lifting the hull at speeds above 20 miles per hour, allowing the boat to run smoother with less throttle and lower RPMs. Handling in rough offshore conditions is notably comfortable, as the foil cushions impacts by maintaining lift even when briefly lifted out of the water by waves. Turning performance is enhanced by the foil, which induces a slight inboard lean and a controlled slide rather than abrupt hooking, contributing to stable and predictable maneuvering without speed loss or jarring.
Mechanical Systems and Equipment
The Aquila 42 features practical mechanical arrangements with well-labeled and accessible systems. The boat includes a Reverso engine flush system and a deck hatch that flips up to allow trimming the engines fully out of the water. The mechanical spaces house components such as the freshwater tank, hot water heater, black water tank, and electrical systems, including an upgraded lithium battery system (standard AGM batteries are also available). A sea chest maintains consistent raw water pressure to the intakes during rough conditions or when on foil. The boat is equipped with a 9-kilowatt Fisher Panda diesel generator, with its dedicated fuel tank and sea chest. Storage compartments are ample, including a large forward anchor locker with windlass controls and cleats.
Helm and Navigation
The helm station is designed for comfort and functionality, featuring twin captain's chairs with bolsters and adjustable seating to accommodate operators of various heights. Visibility is excellent with a 360-degree view, though the large center post and bow headrests slightly impede forward sightlines; the manufacturer plans to address the headrest issue in future models. The dashboard is equipped with dual 19-inch Raymarine multifunction displays, providing extensive navigation and system information. Controls include electric buttons for raising and lowering the bow door, CZone system management, windshield wipers, windlass, sunroof, engine throttles, spotlight, VHF radio, and a joystick for precise maneuvering. The steering wheel incorporates programmable push-button paddles for quick access to autopilot, lighting, audio, or other functions. Additional conveniences include a wireless induction charger, cup holders, USB ports, and a well-organized electrical panel for 120-volt and 12-volt systems.
Conclusion
The Aquila 42 Coupe delivers an impressive combination of innovative design, efficient performance, and practical features. Its hydrofoil-equipped hull provides enhanced lift, fuel economy, and comfortable handling in various sea conditions without compromising shallow water capability or maneuverability. The mechanical systems are thoughtfully arranged for ease of maintenance, and the helm station offers excellent ergonomics and advanced controls. Overall, the Aquila 42 is a versatile and enjoyable vessel that performs well as a day boat, weekender, or longer-range cruiser.
