It’s so cool that you bring us brand new yachts that nobody else has publicly seen! This is a very pretty yacht! It seems to have a lot of bells and whistles for a 42 foot vessel. Thanks for the wonderful tour of this yacht! Love from Vermont

[@NautiStyles]

Our pleasure!

[@trullmann]

What a wonderful boat, I can totally see myself owning one of these. Great production value by the way, your editing skills are dialed in.

[@BlueyGilmore]

Great liveaboard! My favorite features are the huge windows in the cabins and the amount of space on the fly deck. Really enjoyed this video with Alain adding so much to the content.

[@NautiStyles]

Glad you like it!

[@Frankie--da-fixer]

Can you imagine how cool it would be to being laying in bed in the ocean,and watching lightning strikes over the water:-)

[@marklong8608]

A lot of very thoughtful features, and love the power cat concept, but the exterior reminds me of the cheap "plastic fantastic" sailboats of the 90s. Definitely needs some classing up for the price of these boats. One more pet peeve, when I'm sitting in the aft cockpit I want to look at the beautiful natural surroundings, not forward into the boat. Too many boats do this. A few now have flip back seats that work both ways.

[@cheesycarrotsoup]

Such a nice boat but the 54' is the one to get.

[@markshutt1476]

The 54' is consistently 1 of my top 3 dream boats. The order changes depending on my mood.

[@damham5689]

I know its hard to believe but not everyone who boats lives in Florida. Those who live in colder climates like the great lakes , upper east coast, pacific northwest, even Alaska and Canada often like a lower enclosed helm.

[@daviddunster9305]

I like the fly bridge console, the way the hand rail, and the access from the Bow.

[@NautiStyles]

isn't it great 😀

[@brianmcnamee7098]

Been hoping for this! with a 21' beam and 18' air draft I think I've finally found my 'looper boat' :)

[@NautiStyles]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@1corinthians15.1-4kjv]

Okay. Consider Leen 50 too then, which can be specified with no or a lowering flybridge, so that one cost the same with an advanced hybrid drive, even more space and also easier bridge clearance.

[@brianmcnamee7098]

@@1corinthians15.1-4kjv considered it however max beam on trent severn is 23' and the Leen 50 is 26'. Do like the hybrid system however which is why I am still considering Greenline as well

What is your opinion of the build quality for both the hull and support structures as well as inside quality and workmanship?

[@lilricky2515]

Great walkthrough guys, much better than even the official Aquila walkthrough for the 42

[@NautiStyles]

thanks lilricky2515 💙🙏

[@NautiStyles]

ow that's very kind

[@crackerjack6075]

I love my Aquila and so much want to trade-up my 44 for this or a 54. But older now and this dream is slipping away. Continued on this model, as with other Aquila, one thing I absolutely love and insist upon, is the Captain/Pilot has a direct route from the wheel house, to the bow section. I Pilot and work there, so no one goes to the bow but me and my appointed Hand. No kids, or bathing cushions - just my equipment and work space. With Aquila designs I can dash up and down. I've learned to manage much of the boat myself (but it's smart to train at least 1 Hand to work your way).

[@MIDTOWNE1]

6'8 Headroom space is fantastic. Just never know I might be one of the people eagerly anticipating the 2nd owner market one day.

[@navalgazingatcampdavid]

I never really thought about a power cat until I toured the Aventura 14P at the Catamaran Show in La Grande-Motte. What an eye opener! Some of these are so efficient they can cross oceans. Thanks for the review. Dave. NavalGazingatCampDavid.

I'm interested in a live aboard, but it seems almost impossible to find Marine is that allow it. Anybody have suggestions the places they've docked for periods of time? East Coast. Flexible, but looking in Stuart Florida right now

[@namastenicholas]

You are the gold standard in yacht tours. Love your work!

[@NautiStyles]

Wow, thank you!

[@markshutt1476]

How did I miss this video when it first came out? I am an Aquila fan, and this certainly doesn't disappoint. That forward cabin is fantastic, so versatile. If using it as a live aboard it really provides that space you never seem to find for "things". I tend to be a fan of an interior helm for those super hot days or if you lost track of the weather. But you know the fly bridge is really where it's at.

[@seantwomey396]

The windows in the staterooms are great as is the opening window into the cockpit. I prefer a U shaped galley. Adding anti skid treads on the back stairs would make the ship look more finished. I would have liked you to edit in some foil video or stills from the manufacturer as it was too windy for the sea trial.

[@NautiStyles]

Thank you for your seggestion Sean! 🙏

[@stephencoster9532]

Hiya Vico, Great video, just as I expected, perfection. Can I add anything? I believe what you three have already shared with us on this cat covered everything. Again storage and convenience of layout are not just good, but we get to change around just about everything. Thank you for the wonderful video. Fair winds and following seas, Steve xx

[@savethehumans7460]

Thanks for the share Victoria and Rico.

[@stevenryle5709]

I lived in Clearwater for over 25 years before I retired (sort of) and moved north about 80 miles to the Crystal River area. I really like those power cats.

Nice!

[@Meandmy2Vs]

Wow. I am reconsidering my purchase. This boat is beautiful. Thank you for your videos!🚤❤😎

[@dillonbrown1454]

Lol, addicted to opening everything. I really enjoy these videos.

[@JS-pondering_reality]

With a 1m sq ft factory maybe see if a tour would be feasible? More a fan of Mono hulls, however pleasantly surprised. As always, fair winds and following seas

[@NautiStyles]

thank youu for the idea

[@I-am-awayTOM]

This size range is leading edge innovation! Especially catamarans... Especially Aquila.

[@NautiStyles]

Thanks Tom

[@billm6774]

One thing I never see on boats and this is something any active person would use is a steam unit in the master shower. Like the one you just showed with a bench would be perfect. A good steam, a cool rinse followed by a warm towel. Put that on your list. 🤟😎👍. Ohh forgot great review , loved da boat. Like a 60' mono

[@ah244895]

Great boat. It's nice that so many good ideas can be implemented in even smaller footprints.

[@LawrenceBroussard]

I had to sub and resub since I did not get a notice. I kept wondering why this vlog did not appear. Better late than never.

Thank you for an amazing presentation of this boat. We can't wait to see it at MIBS. The official video released by Aquila did not do this boat justice. After my wife watched your video, she is pushing me as a must see next week. She loves the fact that its real people giving their opinions. This boat seems like it would be perfect for our retirement cruising coming up shortly. There goes my bank account.

[@paulwackerla6330]

Really enjoyed this video as you had a lot of time to really give us an in depth overview of this boat.

[@rickbourne1376]

As was said, well laid out and well thought out. So much for just 42 feet. Obviously many lessons learned by the manufacturer.

[@didgerb72]

I love powercats. The wider beams give a larger layout compared to monohaul vessels. So that 42 gives dimensions that an 85ft plus single hauled vessel gives. Awesome vessel. Nice that the CEO has given you Premier access. Beautiful little gem. X

[@NautiStyles]

Thanks for watching David

[@ferebeefamily]

Thank you all for the video on a lovely boat.

It needs different trim inside cause it looks like a house trailer.

[@ReclinerKing777]

Not a fan of this one , but I love the Aquila brand overall

[@steveowens398]

This boat has a fabulous layout and fittings. My favorite bits are the cabin doors - a nod to sailboat hatches that also provide more interior space for each cabin. The beds are pretty low (a good thing). Was there any storage space under them? Another great video as always - too bad you couldn't go out.

[@NautiStyles]

Thanks for watching Steve! 💙🙏

[@henrycarlson7514]

Another fine boat with a lot of really nice features. I do like the access from the bow to the bridge for anchor handeling ,visability for docking and general operation . Looks like good access to operate and store stuff . The foiling option sounds interesting . In my opinion being able to operate in heavy weather is important . As we all know weather can change quickly . To me having Mr. Raas to help and advise is VERY helpful and shows commitment from the factory .

[@globegalmiami820]

So glad you were finally able to get Alain on board to enhance the tour of this amazing new model.

[@chrispallett-gu1vl]

Great boat tour on a fantastic yacht. The Aquila rep is not only super knowledgeable but has a great sense of humour. Nice length of time to really give us a very comprehensive tour. This one’s now on my bucket list

[@michiganengineer8621]

I just love that Aquila is redoing the hull design for their yacht line-up to allow for a foiling option. I will say that the mental image of a 70 foot catamaran almost literally FLYING above the water is somewhat frightening 🤣. And as usual their USE of available space is second to none (at least as far as production/semi-custom boats are concerned). During the "geek time" Alain made a good point about how BELOW foiling speeds they're actually going to be a liability as far as fuel economy is concerned. Now to just add ultra-efficient props to the engines as well . . . Very nice tour Victoria, Rico and Alain. Thank you for the sneak peek at the new "pocket yacht"! I didn't see anything resembling pricing on the Aquila site but I'm pretty certain it will be at least 500k (if not 1M) over the 36 sport. _IF_ I could, I'd get one with this "SE" layout but with the addition of the larger engines, foiling option and Sharrow props.

[@jrmiller6464]

The KZbin channel The wandering hillbilly has a beautiful Aquila 54. Y’all should check it out

[@JumpingJimmyJet]

Very nice. I really like the windows in the lounge and Sleeping quarters.

[@johngauntlett4915]

Now you guys are near my home. A little further south in Sarasota-Bradenton area. I know exactly where you're at on that boat below the causeway. I wish that one of your trips to Florida that you would do a walk-through of teakdecking systems factory in Sarasota.

[@Utik0ne]

Aquila is great, will seriously consider one in the future. The lineup needs a filler between 36 and 42.

[@zldsar14]

So funny to see you going down in the forward storage for a change. Talk about equality 😂😉

[@carlosdaniels7266]

Yes!! I’ve got to join one of you all meet an greet

[@CharleyGeorge]

These foil options would be perfect for Lake Erie and the other great lakes. No doubt. Lake Erie can be super dangerous because our chop is so strange because the depth changes frequently and sometimes quickly. This makes the waves go from white capped 3-5 to larger longer duration 5-7 and sometimes 5-7 whites caps. It is nuts if you have no idea how to handle yourself on this lake. Plus it can get dangerous in about an hour and if you are out from shore a bit you will not realize how bad it is till you start moving.

[@davel9130]

Really like this boat and agree that it would make a fantastic live aboard. The only thing I noticed was that there didn't seem to be a weather door on the fly bridge access. Maybe it's not needed with the hard top?

[@wcguthrie]

Maybe you guys could add some short videos introducing other liveaboard couples/families to your subscribers. My first suggestion is " Sailing Dawn Hunters". Fun couple just finished a huge refit on a sailboat getting ready for World cruising. She's Russian.

[@Hyakman5408]

5:54 - As a prospective buyer, I would ask to have an upper rail installed for those of us who are 6 ft-plus. Then you have one for shorter people and one for taller sailors :)

[@hharadon]

Asking price for a 2023 44ft Aquila with 7 hours on the 320HP engines is $1.5 million. This boat looked very similar but slightly larger. I would guess that this 42ft version would be about $1.4 million. But all of this is just an idle fantasy for the average retired American.

[@NautiStyles]

Dreams do come true when you believe lol

[@rugby342]

Question regarding the foiling aspect. Is this going to be foiling where the entire wetted surface of the hull is out of the water or does the foiling effect just reduce drag by raising part of the hull out of the water?

[@davidherholdt9579]

Hi guys, if you could choose one vessel for your chase-boat/tender, however you have 3 persons in either a wheelchair or needs the use of a walking frame, what would that vessel be...??????

[@joeg9171]

The one thing that will make it perfect, would be a Skyhook or Joystick option... is it available?

[@G029er]

This is a wonderful boat but considering how many US-made quality boats out there, I would be hard pressed to justify buying a Chinese product at that price point.

[@lewishayes816]

I do love the you guys crack me up.

[@mrshort2379]

that is a nice Catamaran great for a couple as beginner yacht or just starting out. I would however like to see a tri-hull or Trimaran.

[@222INFINITY]

I wonder what is stopping boat builders from setting up shop in the Bahamas, Caribbean (Puerto Rico), or Mexico? Such close proximity to US suppliers, plus you can ship parts and material into Miami from anywhere in the world. Shop tours and boat deliveries would be such a breeze.

[@crowdfundcrew]

Before I found the silent-yachts, the Aquila was top of my list but not really being ocean crossing (diesel limit). Would you ever do a maintenance/cost comparison between silent and Aquila? Over say 5 years. I know travel /gas costs are quite variable, but comparing average use for costs and maintenance would be interesting.

[@NautiStyles]

just a side note.. just because the boat has a range to cross the atlantic, doesn't mean it always can/ should. there are many factors at play...

[@redwolfexr]

IMO Silent has been intentionally miss-marketed. Its been pitched as a zero fuel full amenity boat and they REALLY should offer a more eco version of it that optimizes power consumption. Because as soon as you start moving it around much you have to run the engine/generator. Its designed with no thought to power economy because the solar can power it all up. Its a floating condo that should not be moved much. But they SELL it as a full yacht and if you run it as a yacht you have nowhere NEAR enough power for motoring and hotel loads at the same time. (low speed short trips and using the boat more economically is a better use of its capabilities) More than 30 miles a day you are going to be burning fuel.

[@1corinthians15.1-4kjv]

@@redwolfexr That is my issue with the Silent as well, and the fact, that I do not like the design much at all. Leen Trimarans have an advanced hybrid system, but if customers offer full solar roof on the flybridge as an option, they could go further than Silent on solar power alone, but still have a good old trusty diesel engine in the central hull. In the end that would be the better option, at least for now.

[@crowdfundcrew]

@@NautiStyles yeah I keep looking for actual data. There are views on both sides from those that love them and those that seem to be against all things EV. I’m an actual data guy. Their first ocean crossing had good numbers but very limited of one trip with one weather condition. I can’t afford one yet anyway, so have time to research and watch tech upgrades. 🤓

[@1corinthians15.1-4kjv]

@@crowdfundcrew If you are a data/ tech guy, I am not and I got ten thumbs too, look up a video filming a couple, who bought an old storm damaged catamaran for little money, ripped of the destroyed rigging and installed an entire solar roof and advanced electric only drive on their own. The end result a 45 foot catamaran with endless amounts of electricity for living and also sailing on EV mode alone, build for about 400k US Dollars! Look up Wildly Intrepid Sailing.
