Aquila 70 Luxury Power Catamaran (2021) - Features Video by BoatTEST.com

[@9VARZ]

This and the Sunreef 80 are my favourite powercats on the high seas! Nice!

[@TChalla007]

Yep. I go back and forth between the two. Both are amazing.

[@filosofastone1442]

This is the most beautiful Cat I have ever seen.

[@darthkek1953]

The Tri-Deck Silent Yacht 80 is the nicest in the world... the top deck can an owner's deck. The _entire_ deck.

[@gldi8hr]

Literally a very cozy comfortable floating home❣️

[@italiangreyhound4u]

This is a really great looking catamaran. Quite spacious and well thought out with quality build materials.

[@lilricky2515]

Glad to see he isn't afraid anymore to point out defects.

[@francoisberon]

Okay there you go, already subscribed because of this perfectly executed walkthrough of the greatest catamaran i’ve ever seen on youtube. Looking for more videos like this! :)

[@BoatTEST]

Thank you! And thanks for watching. Check out BoatTEST.com for more in-depth info.

[@N88014]

Here we go!

[@sjones4668]

This catamaran really shows well. The master, VIPs and headroom make this Aquila look much larger and great option for taller boat lovers. Loved the enclosed access to upper deck. Never considered a cat but this may change my mind.

[@jp-qn4je]

your reviews are about the best, most factual, most believable and a joy to listen to...your attention to finding "those extra little design details" make me, "a designer" happy to see!

[@mycontainergarden]

I love this Yacht! It completely matches my passion for cooking, which I enjoy greatly! Love the Kitchen and all the thoughtful features!

[@120Livi]

Wasn't expecting this so quick! Great end to a Friday. I love this boat 😍😍

[@timshea1599]

Does this 70 have position hold?

[@bbaz6729]

I would love a boat like this, but I'm always reminded of this old (and still true) adage. The two best days of a boat owners life is the day he buys his boat.....and the day he sells his boat. That still holds true for 90% of boat owners.

[@tommcclelland119]

Good job Captain Steve... very informative, and a nice boat. Thanks!!!

[@billy1673]

Love the layout.

[@Omnictionarian97]

There are also drop down tvs from the ceiling in the vip rooms

[@SIBUK]

I like how they built the bridge into the kitchen, so now Zapp Brannigan can make himself a sandwich while be pilots the vessel and he will be all like 'She's built like a steakhouse but she handles like a bistro'.

[@minemine6250]

Great Yacht, great video.

[@jetdust]

So spacious!! Just needs a jacuzzi top deck!!

[@Bubbles99718]

Captain Steve's belly has exceeded spec as well

[@seadog2396]

Ha, funny and clever quip. Yeh, he should pare that down for health reasons. I like the guy.

Great video Captain Steve! The only thing missing is the price? It would be really helpful to add a rough price of each yacht to the videos please :D thanks again!

[@njrivetelite]

I hope you guys do the Aquila 54

[@bfarm44]

Would like you to add the engine room layouts on these tours too

[@diana-ul9ki]

Hope you feature the Aquila 54 too

[@BoatTEST]

Just finished editing it. Coming out soon.

[@1424061]

Very nice cat. I wait for see the new aquila 54 review

[@choski76]

Great point about the seats that go into loungers. The backing looks flimsy and doesnot support across the whole backreat

[@tylerjsmith5573]

how much does something like that even cost

[@dwb73]

Wow, such a nice boat! The only thing I would like to see changed is where the main Power Panel, extra C-Zone Panel, and MFD Screen is located. I'd rather those be in the Utility/Laundry space so as not to disturb guests who may be using the Aft Quarters.

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

Man thats a nice yacht!!! Would have liked to see the engine rooms.

[@Squirel]

1st cat I've really liked.

STATE OF THE ART

[@mycontainergarden]

I love it and its if Winnebago made a yacht

[@martinvockler2436]

Where has Captain Steve gone to???

[@ulrichschnier307]

The amount of space onboard these PowerCats is just insane ...

[@BoatTEST]

They’re truly incredible.

[@TheOriginalItchyman]

For the staple rails, did you mean modular, instead of manoeuvrable?

[@BMH1965]

I have to question the statement that manufactured stone is more durable than granite.

[@HopeOfJoe]

Fabulous ✨

[@chbr5623]

As always, another excellent review by Captain Steve. Comparing this to a Nordhavn 70+ or Flemming 70 I wonder which is a better yacht overall. I suspect the Nordhavn and Flemming would have better range but this Aquila can still cross oceans at 7 knots. Any suggestions in comparing, Capt? Pros and cons?

[@BoatTEST]

Great idea we will discuss as a team. You can go to Boattest.com and use our comparison tool. But it’s by boat type. Check it out hope it can help. boattest.com/comparison/boats/105731+82397

[@sadenuttie2234]

Best thing I could say is they are designed differently. Nordhavens are built for the specific purpose for long range cruising. They are absolutely overbuilt and strong, whereas this has more room, is more spacious, and luxurious.

[@ictpilot]

This boat won't have the range to cross an ocean. But it's still nice.

[@chbr5623]

@@ictpilot Aquila claims 3600 nm at 600 rpm (displacement speed).

[@ictpilot]

@@chbr5623 Okay thanks I haven't had a chance to look it up. I need to look up the ocean rating for it though.

[@DF-ww3zp]

Thank you for this video. Would you kindly do a test on Fountaine pajot alegria 67 power cat? Your videos are always legit. Much appreciation ✨

[@Hunter567T]

Aquila 54 video next??

[@BoatTEST]

Yes!

[@TChalla007]

IPS options?

[@stevencolonayala4605]

Price?

[@live1030]

Is this boat too big for the great loop?

[@Mr91495osh]

I’m sold

[@ronvilhauer1188]

What is the advantage of rounded cabin door corners?

[@darthkek1953]

Nothing functional, purely aesthetic.

[@robisarkar6105]

If the door is thru a bulkhead 90° corners invite stress cracking at the corners. Round opening distribute those forces and reduce cracking.

[@TChalla007]

@@robisarkar6105 Nice to know. Thanks

Well that's sold it to me then.

[@sebastiansibley7357]

I’m getting “sponsored by Aquila” vibes

[@Jay-tc9on]

I can understand that. To be fair the boat is very well done. Amazing amount of space for that size and the fit and finish looks better then when I saw them years ago.

[@darthkek1953]

You get the "sponsored by" vibes from ALL of the top manufacturers who knock it out of the park. He gushes over numerous top level makers. And there is nothing wrong with that. You might have missed the parts where he says there are things he'd like done better: more grab rails, etc.

[@sadenuttie2234]

He does the exact same review format for each video. What are you talking about?

[@slit4659]

It's Such a Nice Boat....Wait until it's Covered in BARF....

[@jasonliu5477]

I just happened to pass by here......

[@MrRich2u]

Well, the huge step on the back sucks. If your an older owner looking to buy that's a deal killer., bad knee or hip kills this yacht. The rounded doors are fine on top, a real toe catcher on the floor though. Someone wasn't thinking there.

[@seadog2396]

Good point. Aquila could easily fabricate some pop-in steps to solve that on customer request. All-in-all, one hell of a spacious, comfy cat.

[@darthkek1953]

I think the base of the doors are flush. And as the other poster said, if you need steps they can be made be it manufacturer or after-market.

[@MrRich2u]

@@darthkek1953 Yeah the base of the doors are flush. However, where there rounded they protrude. That's gonna hurt if you catch it with a toe.

[@ChrisJones-yd9zd]

She’s gorgeous, but those touch-sensitive appliances are gonna be the first thing to break.

Gaggenau Hausgeräte is a German manufacturer of high-end home appliances. The company was established in 1683. They are only in high homes.

[@DanFrederiksen]

Cats would seem to be better except for berthing issues.

[@macrichardson7440]

Overall great yacht. My issues, 1. the galley takes up too much of the saloon, also I don’t like the lower drive station. It’s unnecessary . Watch the host ascend the bridge steps it was WAY too narrow going up those stairs . The doorway into the master also too narrow. My biggest gripe with Aquila is that the heads are integrated into the master stateroom. If one person is asleep the person in the bathroom area is making so much noise. The side heads need to be at minimum closed off for sound and light. If I’m asleep I’d be real pissed at someone walking in turning on the bathroom lights and making bathroom noises . More privacy please. I don’t like or they didn’t show that the tender platform would lower so that the entire Beam of the platform would be level.

[@zeprls]

At the end of the day, I know it’s a courtesy but all that quality and money and it can’t handle anything but barefoot. Come on man.

[@darthkek1953]

It's hardwood floor. It's just he prefers not to use shoes, including deck shoes, on someone else's property. That said I think he should wear socks.

@@darthkek1953 hasn’t even been released yet, doesn’t have the same cruising speed capabilities, and so much more expensive. Personally would go with the Iliad, but would rather have something more manageable, like the Iliad 50, fountaine pajot my67, or aventura 14
