Aquila 46 YACHT: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Akila 46 yacht is a thoughtfully engineered vessel designed for efficiency, comfort, and extended cruising capability. Featuring bulbous bows below the waterline to enhance hydrodynamic efficiency and high bows above water to handle waves up to 13 feet and gale conditions, this yacht is built entirely with vinyl ester resin for durability. Its side windows comply with ISO standards, and the yacht carries a CE Category A rating, indicating suitability for ocean crossings. Equipped with straight shafts and prop tunnels, the Akila 46 offers low maintenance and shallow draft capabilities, enabling it to navigate areas like The Bahamas and return to Florida on a single tank of fuel.
Exterior Design and Bridge
The yacht measures 47 feet 2 inches overall with a beam of 23 feet 3 inches and a draft of 4 feet 1 inch. The exterior design emphasizes safety and functionality, featuring a spacious walkway with three steps leading forward along the cabin, complemented by high handrails and grab handles for secure movement aboard. The bow houses a large anchor locker with an electric windlass operated by remote control, a washdown hose for cleaning, and an anchor bridle attachment to reduce swinging at anchor. The helm station offers a wide helm seat with adjustable bolster and footrest, providing 360-degree visibility. Twin 16-inch Raymarine displays, Volvo engine data, autopilot controls, and other navigational instruments are ergonomically arranged within easy reach. The centrally located helm seat allows the captain to remain engaged with passengers seated on lounges on either side, enhancing social interaction during cruises.
Power and Performance
Powered by twin Volvo Penta D6 engines, the Akila 46 delivers impressive performance and efficiency. During testing, the yacht reached a top speed of 20.6 knots at 3,650 RPM, while the optimal cruising speed was identified at 17.3 knots at 3,250 RPM, consuming 34.5 gallons per hour and achieving approximately 0.5 nautical miles per gallon. The standard fuel capacity of 476 gallons, with a 10% reserve, provides a range of nearly 215 nautical miles. An optional fuel tank upgrade adds 211 gallons, extending the total capacity to 687 gallons and increasing the range to 310 nautical miles at cruising speed. At lower speeds, the yacht excels in fuel economy; at 7.4 knots and 1,500 RPM, it burns only 4.5 gallons per hour, offering a range just under 700 nautical miles. Reducing speed further to 6.3 knots extends the range to over 1,400 nautical miles with the optional fuel tanks, enabling trans-Caribbean voyages or trips from Miami to Nova Scotia on a single fuel load. The yacht handles turns with minimal heel and speed loss, providing a secure and comfortable ride for passengers. As a catamaran, it requires no trim adjustments, responding predictably to throttle input.
Mechanical Layout and Systems
The Akila 46 features spacious and well-organized engine rooms accessed via deck hatches on the half deck, with identical compartments on both port and starboard sides. These compartments provide ample room for maintenance and daily checks, housing the twin Volvo Penta D6 engines, fuel tanks (including a 238-gallon main and 105-gallon reserve on each side), and associated systems. The electrical system is professionally installed with clear labeling and protective measures, including a Fireboy fire suppression system. Engine start batteries are individually housed in dedicated cases, underscoring the yacht's premium build quality. A Kohler generator is located aft in the engine room, with easy access to fuel filters, steering gear, and raw water strainers. While the main engines have transparent sea strainers for quick inspection, the generator’s raw water intake would benefit from a similar setup. The yacht incorporates safety features such as red bilge pump warning lights at both helm and navigation stations. Shore power is provided via a 50-amp connection on the port stern, equipped with an optional cable master electric reel.
Navigation and Electrical Systems
Inside, opposite the salon table, is a functional nav station equipped with VHF radio, lighting controls, tank monitoring, and a Fusion audio head unit. This area offers storage and can be customized as a secondary interior helm station, providing good visibility and protection from inclement weather. The main electrical panel is conveniently located at the entrance to the port cabin, housing AC breakers, shore power and generator selectors, DC switches, battery controls, and the generator control panel, facilitating straightforward management of the yacht’s electrical systems.
Conclusion
The Akila 46 yacht presents a compelling combination of robust construction, efficient performance, and thoughtful design. Its ability to achieve both high speeds and exceptional fuel economy, coupled with spacious mechanical compartments and well-integrated systems, makes it a versatile vessel for extended cruising and ocean passages. The elevated freeboard and catamaran hull form contribute to a stable and comfortable ride, while the ergonomic helm and social layout enhance onboard experience. Overall, the Akila 46 stands out as a premium ocean-capable yacht with practical features and impressive range capabilities.
