Aquila 54: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Aquila 54 represents a significant step for the manufacturer, venturing into the realm of larger power catamarans. Designed with CE certification in mind, the vessel features reinforced construction elements such as thicker windows, heavier bulkheads, and robust scantlings, earning it the stringent CEA certification. The hull design incorporates fully integrated bulbs that enhance running efficiency, complemented by spray rails that effectively keep the boat dry during operation.
Exterior Design and Features
The Aquila 54's exterior is thoughtfully engineered, particularly at the stern where the tender launching system stands out. Instead of traditional davits, a crane extends from the hardtop's trailing edge to lower the tender, which is itself a catamaran rib designed by Aquila. The lowering platform doubles as a functional extension of the stern, allowing the tender to be securely tied up. Wide steps measuring 42 inches in width and 12 inches in height provide comfortable seating, while a cleverly designed reboarding ladder slides out and deploys three steps extending 30 inches deep, surpassing ABYC standards. The ground tackle system is efficiently arranged with a roller through the stem, remote control, a Quick windlass managing an all-chain rode, and a chain stopper. Additionally, a high-pressure water line is installed for cleaning purposes.
Engine Room and Powertrain
The twin engine rooms are symmetrical, housing the core propulsion units. The standard powerplant consists of 480 horsepower Volvo Penta diesel engines, with an option to step down to 380 horsepower or upgrade to 550 horsepower Cummins engines capable of exceeding 30 knots. Fuel capacity is substantial, with four tanks totaling 581 gallons, plus an option for an additional pair of 92-gallon tanks located forward in the hull outside the engine rooms. A 16 kW generator is installed on the starboard side engine room.
Handling and Maneuverability
Maneuvering the Aquila 54 is notably intuitive, aided by widely spaced propellers that provide significant torque and allow for precise movements such as pivoting by running one propeller forward and the other in reverse. The bow thruster delivers ample power to assist in docking without causing excessive lateral movement, stopping promptly when released. The boat exhibits excellent handling characteristics both at the dock and underway, maintaining a flat and level attitude through turns. A 180-degree turn at full speed takes approximately 37 seconds, covering about five to six boat lengths, which aligns well with its cruising focus. The inclusion of a rudder angle indicator on the autopilot enhances control and situational awareness.
Helm Ergonomics and Deck Layout
The helm console is designed with low profile to ensure unobstructed visibility, even when seated, providing a clear view over the bow and bow rail. The front windshield is clear for optimal sightlines, while the side windows are tinted to reduce glare. Seating arrangements include flip-up armrests and bolsters, with a standard configuration featuring a bench seat with a flip-back to allow interaction with guests at the table. The port side features a forward-facing lounge that serves as a social gathering spot, complemented by a bucket seat on the starboard side, which is planned to be replaced with a shorter version of the lounge seat for symmetry. This layout facilitates comfortable hosting and engagement with passengers.
Performance and Range
The Aquila 54 measures 54 feet 2 inches in length overall, with a beam of 25 feet 2 inches and a draft of 4 feet 5 inches. Powered by twin 480 horsepower Volvo Penta D6 diesels turning four-bladed bronze propellers at up to 3650 RPM, the boat achieved a top speed of 21.9 knots during testing. The most efficient cruising speed was found at 2800 RPM, delivering 15.7 knots with a fuel consumption of 23 gallons per hour, equating to 0.7 nautical miles per gallon and a range of just over 471 nautical miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve from the total 765-gallon capacity. At lower displacement speeds typical of long-range cruising, the vessel demonstrates impressive fuel economy: at 1500 RPM and 7.4 knots, it burns 4.9 gallons per hour for a range exceeding 1044 nautical miles, and at 1250 RPM and 6.5 knots, the range extends to approximately 1448 nautical miles. This endurance enables extended passages such as from Fort Lauderdale to the British Virgin Islands without refueling.
Conclusion
The Aquila 54 power catamaran delivers a compelling combination of robust construction, thoughtful design, and efficient performance tailored for serious long-range cruising. Its handling characteristics make it an ideal owner-operator vessel, offering ease of maneuvering both at the dock and underway. The integration of practical features such as the innovative tender launch system, comfortable helm ergonomics, and substantial fuel capacity underscore its suitability for extended voyages. Overall, the Aquila 54 stands out as a well-rounded cruising catamaran that balances performance, comfort, and functionality.
