Dual Perspectives on the Bay
At the Cannes Yachting Festival, Aquila presents a study in spatial contrast—bridging the immediacy of modern velocity with the timeless geometry of ocean living.
Along the Croisette this season, Aquila presents an intriguing study in spatial contrast. In the Vieux Port, the all-new 45 Sport reinterprets the Mediterranean day boat—wide-beamed, open-air, and anchored by fold-down terraces that transform the transom into a floating lounge at water level. Driven by twin 600-horsepower V12 outboards, it delivers high-velocity grand touring without sacrificing deck-level ease.
A short tender ride away at Port Canto, the 45 Sail offers a deliberate, windward counterpoint. Marking the yard’s world debut in dedicated canvas, the multihull trades the rush of the throttle for the quiet rhythm of the crossing. With an expansive 25-foot beam, panoramic salon geometry, and over 1,350 square feet of sail, it prioritizes endurance, autonomy, and architectural repose. Together, the two debuts articulate contemporary yachting at both registers: dynamic motion and contemplative living.
Aquila’s 45 Sport makes its European debut at Cannes, pairing 50-mph muscle with seamless beach-club luxury.
When naval architecture meets high-performance grand touring, the result is the all-new Aquila 45 Sport. Making its official European premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival in the Vieux Port, this multi-hull cruiser delivers an uncompromising response to the modern maritime lifestyle.
Powered by twin 600-horsepower Mercury Verado V12 outboards, the 45 Sport achieves speeds exceeding 50 mph while maintaining the stability and interior volume unique to power catamaran design. Yet its true luxury unfolds at anchor. Innovative fold-down side terraces expand the aft deck into a dramatic 19-foot wide social space at water level, transforming the cockpit into an open-air Mediterranean beach club.
Integrated smart-helm connectivity, seamless single-level transition spaces, and an SUV-inspired silhouette ensure the vessel functions effortlessly as both a high-velocity day cruiser and an extended coastal retreat. For modern collectors and charter enthusiasts, it represents a bold evolution in accessible offshore freedom.
Specification & Advisory Sidebar
Vessel Dossier: Aquila 45 Sport
Debut: Cannes Yachting Festival (Vieux Port, Stand PAN 069)
Propulsion: Twin 600 HP Mercury Verado V12 Outboards
Performance: Top Speed 50+ MPH
Standout Feature: Expandable 19-Foot Fold-Down Aft Terrace
Primary Use: Fast Coastal Transit & Extended Day Yachting
Maritime Advisory: For acquisition, charter positioning, or Cannes private viewings, consult with Global Wealth Maritima.
There is a deliberate rhythm that returns when the engines fall silent and the canvas takes the weight of the air. For a yard long defined by the muscular engineering of high-speed power cats, the Aquila 45 Sail marks not just an entry into a new category, but a philosophical shift toward the long, contemplative passage.
Unveiled at Cannes, the vessel applies the structural intelligence of modern multihull design to traditional windward cruising. Its 25-foot beam creates a low-slung, villa-like stability, establishing a natural continuum between the aft dining deck, the sheltered salon, and a forward lounge accessed directly from the bridge. Below deck, private en-suite quarters are oriented toward waterline views, treating the sea not merely as a surface to cross, but as an interior horizon.
With over 1,350 square feet of working sail area and Category A ocean certification, the 45 Sail avoids decorative compromises. It is built for genuine bluewater self-reliance—a vessel designed for those who measure a journey by its quietude rather than its arrival time.
