Aquila Power Catamarans Makes Hydro Foils Standard on 42 and 46 Coupes

Aquila will launch the 42 and 46 Coupe Power Catamarans at the Miami International Boat Show in February, 2025, with Aquila Hydro Glide Foil Systems standard on both. The carbon-fiber fixed foil was previously available only as an option on select models, marking a shift toward hydro foil technology for the company.
“When we started developing the Coupe series, we knew we wanted to include foils as an option for owners,” says Jean Raas, chief product officer and chief executive officer of Aquila USA. “We learned a lot from the experience of offering foils on our 36 Sport catamarans. Getting the shape right was an extensive process of trial and experimentation, but the performance gains we saw on those boats were incredible — upwards of 35% improved fuel efficiency. Once we realized how much our foils improve fuel efficiency and ride comfort, we decided to make them standard on the Coupes.”
The new Coupe series builds on the success of the recent 50 Yacht Power Catamaran, offering the fun and excitement of an open-air sport boat with the cabin comforts of a yacht. Adding the Hydro Foil system to the existing engine package allows as much range with two outboards as you would get with triple or quad outboards.
“If you own a monohull boat and you want to increase your range, the typical solution is to add more engine power,” explains Raas. “Unfortunately, this adds fuel and maintenance expenses to the cost of ownership. Foils are much more effective — the improved fuel efficiency means you can go further and faster without adding horsepower.”
