AQUILA 42 YACHT Foiling Option Luxury Liveaboard Power Catamaran Yacht Tour

[@globegalmiami820]

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

[@19mrm53]

VICTORIA AND RICO YOU ARE THE BEST .SO ENTERTAINING AND KNOWLEDGEABLE I ENJOY EVERYONE OF YOUR VIDEOS .KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK .

[@namastenicholas]

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

[@NautiStyles]

Wow, thank you!

[@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:-)

[@dillonbrown1454]

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

[@daviddunster9305]

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

[@NautiStyles]

isn't it great 😀

[@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.

[@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 .

[@rebekahlow5957]

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!

[@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).

[@savethehumans7460]

Thanks for the share Victoria and Rico.

[@JH-sp5my]

I never comment but I just have to. I love this boat. Usually I ignore caramaran tours, I just dont like them. But this one, I could live aboard. So many big windows, so many entertaining spaces. Soooo much storage. You could go all day and not see your spouse. For such a smallish boat, its huge! You could even have a captain. Could you put a pullman in the cozy cabin? I love everything from colour scheme to davit in back. Just lovely.

[@NautiStyles]

We agree!

You just dont like them but love having two hulls. "For such a smallish boat, its huge." I like them because there is no healing and much safer in larger waves.

[@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.

[@paulocamacho2976]

I just love Victoria in this vídeo ☺️

[@kbcoggin]

Foil system is fascinating! Can't wait to see Aquila evolve this over the years!

[@pistonburner6448]

I've had aluminium foil for years.

[@I-am-awayTOM]

Hanging a hammock overboard using the crane is a genius idea!

[@NautiStyles]

[@I-am-awayTOM]

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

[@NautiStyles]

Thanks Tom

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@carlosdaniels7266]

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

[@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.

[@GPopeSinghTriniCharters1983]

Talk about a dream boat in the right size.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@johnmyers6750]

I love it, And I'm glad you are the 1st ones to get on it!

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.

[@clifbradley]

When my parents had their boat, they took one of the giant underseat compartments and stuck a small garden trolley in it and that became the trash bin for the day. Obviously it had a bag in it and if it ripped, it was plastic and could be rinsed out, plus it was a drainable locker. When you have 8-10 people on it, it would work out so well.

[@NautiStyles]

how creative 😁

[@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! 🙏

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.

[@1corinthians15.1-4kjv]

Very nice boat, and clearly you also liked it, when you spend so much time on it. Aquila is just the top motor catamaran company right now, in my book. So many great design features, as that flybridge with direct access to the bow. My comment about Aquaholic Nick were only meant to show appreciation about your quality of content here. I were mistaken, by the way, he has showcased the 44 this week and not this brand new model. His style is more true v-log style and a very quick run through the boats, without opening hardly anything. Not a critique of him either, in that way he sure can run through a lot of boats in just one week and create a lot of content, but you guys are the boat review VIPs in my book: Very high quality of content, good sense of humor too and always reliable information. The latter was absolutely not the case with former sailing catamaran review shows, that I used to follow, which in many cases simply slandered boats and companies, which they did not like. No names mentioned, no feelings hurt! I could throw one little wrench though: The Leen 50 offers even more space, an advanced hybrid drive system included with extreme range potential and for the same base price. I know, that you are not old enough to love the trawler style of those boats, as Victoria has pointed out so many times, but I am and many of your followers surely may be too! God Bless!

[@NautiStyles]

That's very kind, thank you. Nick and us have completely different styles of touring, so it's never a competition in our book - we are friends! Leen 50 has been on our radar...

[@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?

[@jeffwatson4908]

A nice tour of a very nice boat. What do the foils add to its draft? How fragile are they?

[@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.

[@gbsailing9436]

OutTakes: You guys have too much fun. I love the 42, but it's too small for me. I'd love to see some of those options on a 78fter. Nautiguys, Let me know when they make that!!!

[@randaleaglestone1753]

Yes this boat is awesome.

[@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?

[@johngauntlett4915]

Rico, let me ask you a technical question. So if you opt for the foil package the cost would be more but you also have to reach the speed for it to be effective and in that case you are using more fuel and spending more money for the fuel?

[@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.

Impressive vessel. Great layout but I’d like to see you do a review on the u shaped galley at some point.

[@NautiStyles]

we have done plenty of them

[@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.
