Elegant contours, exquisite equilibrium, and sophisticated opulence - these phrases aptly capture the essence of Aquila's latest marvel, the Aquila 70 Luxury Power Catamaran. This magnificent, commanding catamaran stands apart in its class, offering an experience unlike any other. Its design is a visual symphony from every perspective, embodying the epitome of a luxury yacht in its majestic form.
At its peak, the Aquila 70 can reach speeds of 27 knots with upgraded engines, while still maintaining impressive range at more moderate speeds. Its propulsion is provided by Volvo Penta, complemented by joystick control for superior handling. The incorporation of carbon fiber not only reduces the overall weight but enhances the yacht's structural integrity. Its elevated bridge-deck clearance further elevates comfort during navigation and contributes to its swift performance.
The interior of the Aquila 70 is a sanctuary of relaxation and entertainment, marked by a European-inspired design that radiates warmth and invitation. The 27-foot-wide master suite is a testament to its spaciousness. The yacht's interior boasts a fusion of rich wooden textures, soft fabric selections, cutting-edge appliances, and designer furnishings. Its generous headroom and expansive windows create an unparalleled onboard ambiance.
The exterior spaces are crafted with equal finesse. Aquila's trademark stairs provide seamless connectivity from the flybridge to the foredeck, which can be fully enclosed with air conditioning. A spacious Portuguese bridge ensures smooth movement from the stern to the bow. The aft deck, a haven of luxury with plush seating, an expansive beach area, a deep swim ladder, and excellent facilities for dinghy deployment, offers a perfect setting for leisure.
In essence, the Aquila 70 is not just a yacht; it is a testament to nautical excellence.
Gorgeous lines, super balanced, intelligent luxury. These are just a few ways to describe the Aquila 70 Luxury Power Catamaran. This breathtaking and powerful catamaran is like nothing you have ever stepped aboard. With an aesthetically pleasing design at every angle, the Aquila 70 looks like the stunning luxury yacht that it is.
The Aquila 70 can top out at 27 knots (with the optional engines) yet still cover long ranges at slower speeds. Power and maneuverability come from Volvo Penta inboards coupled with joystick control. Carbon fiber reinforcements keep weight down while adding to the yacht’s strength. The high bridge-deck clearance allows for even more comfort underway and improved speeds.
For your relaxation and entertainment needs, the Aquila 70 has massive spaces designed with European flair that are bright, inviting, and welcoming including a 27’ wide master suite. Versatile interior layouts, along with rich wood finishes, soft fabrics, smart appliances, designer furnishings, incredible headroom, and panoramic windows make your experience onboard even better.
Outdoor areas receive just as much attention. Our signature stairs make it easy to access the foredeck from the flybridge, which can be fully open or enclosed with A/C and a wide Portuguese bridge for easy access from aft to bow. If you prefer, spend your time hanging out aft, with its comfortable plush seating, huge beach area, deep swim ladder and excellent dinghy launching.

Overview
The Aquila 70 Luxury Power Catamaran is a thoughtfully designed vessel emphasizing performance, comfort, and advanced technology. Measuring 69 feet 9 inches in length overall with a beam of 26 feet 11 inches and a draft of 4 feet 9 inches, this catamaran weighs approximately 110,000 pounds empty. The design process focused on enhancing ride quality, reducing wind resistance, and improving fuel efficiency, making it suitable for long-distance cruising.
Exterior Design and Performance Enhancements
The Aquila 70 features a raised tunnel and deck configuration that significantly improves performance by eliminating the pounding commonly experienced with lower tunnels. The bulbous bow has been redesigned with a streamlined shape that reduces pitching in rough seas and enhances buoyancy, resulting in a smoother, porpoising motion rather than an up-and-down pitch. Spray rails effectively divert water away from the deck, ensuring a dry ride. Aerodynamic considerations are evident in the elimination of traditional boxy shapes, promoting laminar airflow and reducing wind resistance, which is critical when operating at speeds around 20 miles per hour into headwinds.
Power and Performance
Powered by twin Volvo Penta D13 engines, each delivering 1,000 horsepower, the Aquila 70 achieves a top speed of 31.4 miles per hour at 2,460 rpm. Optimal cruising speed was found to be around 2,000 rpm, yielding 24.7 miles per hour with a fuel burn of 62 gallons per hour, translating to approximately 0.4 miles per gallon and a range of 518 statute miles. For extended range, reducing speed to 9.9 miles per hour at 1,000 rpm lowers fuel consumption to 10 gallons per hour and extends the range to 1,283 statute miles, all while maintaining a 10 percent reserve from the total 1,447-gallon fuel capacity. The boat exhibits a solid, stable feel with minimal heel during turns and a wide turning radius, which can be managed effectively by selectively disengaging the inside engine when tighter turns are necessary.
Maneuvering and Helm Features
The helm station is equipped with three 22-inch displays and digital throttle and shift controls, complemented by a joystick that integrates straight shaft propulsion, rudder steering, and bow thruster operation. This integration provides exceptional maneuverability, especially in tight docking situations, and is a unique feature not commonly seen in other vessels. The joystick also includes a dedicated thruster-only control mode for precise bow movement. The helm seating area includes a comfortable lounge seat on the port side offering excellent visibility. The lower helm features two 22-inch displays and a C-Zone control panel with easily accessible installation and servicing. Notably, the vessel employs joystick steering in place of a traditional steering wheel, enhancing control and ease of operation.
Systems and Engine Room Layout
The engine rooms on both port and starboard sides are mirror images, with the exception of the air handling system located on the port side. Each side houses a 21 kW generator with an automatic power distribution panel that manages generator operation based on demand and runtime. The boat includes four shore power connections for redundancy and a dual fuel system allowing separation or transfer between tanks. Fuel filtration is managed through dual Raycor filters with crossover capability and an additional fuel polishing filter. The water maker system and fresh water pump are neatly arranged alongside the hydraulic side power thrusters, which operate independently on each side. The digital steering system integrates with the propulsion and thruster controls to facilitate the advanced joystick functionality. Fuel day tanks are positioned near the engine rooms, while the main fuel tanks are centrally located within the hulls for stability. The exhaust system is custom designed and manufactured in the USA.
Additional Features and Docking Equipment
The Aquila 70 is equipped with warping winches at both quarters, accompanied by heavy-duty ballers and large rollers for efficient line handling. Storage compartments for excess lines are thoughtfully designed with notched hatches to allow lines to run through while stored. Foot controls for the winches are positioned one step down to accommodate the height of the equipment. Secondary control stations on the port side provide comfortable seating and ergonomic joystick operation with clear side views of the vessel. The Portuguese bridge offers a protected walkway around the flybridge, enhancing safety and visibility during extended cruising.
Additional Equipment and Tender
A notable feature is the inclusion of a custom-designed catamaran RIB tender, manufactured by Aquila. This tender is praised for its excellent handling and minimal wake production. It deploys and stows with ease, complementing the overall functionality and luxury of the Aquila 70.
Conclusion
The Aquila 70 Luxury Power Catamaran combines innovative design, advanced propulsion integration, and thoughtful systems engineering to deliver a stable, efficient, and comfortable cruising experience. Its unique joystick system, aerodynamic hull design, and comprehensive onboard systems make it well-suited for owner-operators seeking a capable and refined vessel for long-distance travel. The vessel’s features and performance solidify its position as a flagship model within the Aquila lineup.
