The Aquila 47 Molokai is the first catamaran of its kind. Until now, if you wanted a center console catamaran with the speed, ride and fishability required for overnight runs to the canyons, banks or islands, your sleeping accommodations were going to consist of a beanbag on deck or, at best, an airbed on the console floor.
The Aquila 47 Molokai, though, combines real offshore fishing chops with not only a head and shower but also a spacious, air-conditioned stateroom with a queen-sized island berth. Two entry doors provide easy access, while large overhead and side windows flood the cabin with natural light during the day and let you stargaze from your bed at night.
Powered by twin 600 hp or quad 400 hp Mercury Verado outboards, the Aquila 47 Molokai delivers thrilling performance and a smooth, predictable ride, thanks to her aggressive twin-step hull design and strong, lightweight vacuum-infused construction. Joystick piloting makes close-quarters maneuvering a breeze, while a 1,048-gallon (3,967 Liter) fuel capacity brings any horizon within reach.
Underway, seven protected helm seats in two air-conditioned rows keep your crew safe and comfortable, while state-of-the-art Raymarine electronics, C-Zone digital switching and a custom-tuned Fusion audio system put information and entertainment at your fingertips.
On the fishing grounds, pressurized livewells fed by a Hooker sea chest keep your bait lively, while cavernous fish boxes accommodate the largest fish and longest trips. Electric reel outlets provide power for deep-dropping, and the carbon fiber hardtop is factory reinforced for outriggers and custom towers.

Overview
The Aquila 47 Molokai is a high-performance fishing power catamaran that combines advanced engineering with luxury and speed. This particular hull, the first of its kind, is equipped with quad Mercury Racing 450R engines, although the standard configuration offers dual 600 horsepower engines with options up to quad 500Rs. Measuring 49 feet 4 inches in length overall with a beam of 14 feet 7 inches, the catamaran’s wide beam remains mostly above water, contributing to its impressive speed and stability.
Power and Performance
Powered by four Mercury Racing 450Rs turning 23-pitch Rev4 XP props, the Aquila 47 Molokai delivers a remarkable 1,800 horsepower. During testing, with a 58% fuel load, 52% water capacity, and three people aboard, the boat weighed 27,063 pounds. It achieved a top speed of 69.6 miles per hour at 5,700 RPM. The optimal cruising speed was recorded at 42.6 miles per hour at 4,000 RPM, burning 64.7 gallons per hour, which translates to an efficient 0.7 miles per gallon. This efficiency, combined with a substantial 1,048-gallon fuel capacity, allows for a cruising range of approximately 621 statute miles. Acceleration is notable, with 0 to 20 miles per hour in 4.6 seconds and 0 to 30 miles per hour in 8.1 seconds. The boat handles well in rough seas, maintaining quiet operation without hull slap or excessive noise even at speeds exceeding 50 miles per hour.
Mechanical and Operational Features
The Aquila 47 Molokai offers generous mechanical access and organization. The starboard mechanical compartment provides ample space for key components such as the power steering pump, fuel filters, fuel selector valve, and house batteries, with clearly labeled outlets and a composite bulkhead separating two starting batteries. The port mechanical locker houses plumbing components including the sea chest, pumps, and fresh water tank. The design allows for fitting an eight-person life raft in the mechanical space. An optional lithium battery bank located under the second-row seating supports extended AC use while anchored. The helm station is equipped with dual 24-inch Raymarine screens, with an option for three 19-inch screens, and includes a glove box, SeaZone controls, AC vents, RGB lighting control, a substantial steering wheel with a suicide knob, joystick controls, Mercury throttle controls, a binnacle compass, and excellent all-around visibility. Additional features include electric livewell controls with variable speed, a Fusion audio head unit, tactile controls, and a VHF radio.
Deck and Exterior Features
The bow area is thoughtfully arranged with three lockers dedicated to ground tackle. The starboard side houses the windlass with remote operation capability from the helm, alongside a chain locker positioned to balance the port side tankage. A center locker contains a pulley system that allows the anchor rode to deploy from the centerline of the boat. The port locker includes a freshwater rinse. The boat is equipped with ten cleats strategically placed around the perimeter: four at the bow, two at the stern, and four along the sides for spring lines. These features enhance operational efficiency and ease of use during anchoring and docking.
Conclusion
The Aquila 47 Molokai power catamaran impresses with its combination of luxury, fishing capability, and outstanding performance. Its substantial fuel capacity and efficient engines provide both speed and range, making it suitable for extended offshore excursions. The spacious mechanical compartments and advanced helm electronics reflect thoughtful design aimed at ease of operation and maintenance. Quiet and stable in challenging sea conditions, the Molokai 47 is a versatile vessel that meets the demands of serious anglers without compromising comfort or style.
