Aquila 46 Yachts For Sale

The Aquila 46 Yacht is a power catamaran built in China by Sino Eagle Yachts. It measures 14.36m (47ft 2in), runs shaft drive engines, and offers a main deck owner's cabin with guest suites in both hulls. It sleeps up to ten guests.

This model replaces the Aquila 44 and gains over 1 m in length and half a metre in beam. It uses a new composite hull developed with J&J Design and built to CE Category A standards. Engine options include twin Volvo D4 320 hp, D6 480 hp, or Yanmar 550 hp shaft drives. Top speed is around 20 knots, with cruising at 17 knots for a range of 250 nautical miles. Owners can add Aquila’s Hydro Glide foil, a fixed wing mounted between the hulls, which improves fuel efficiency by up to 30%. There’s a single helm on the flybridge, no lower station, and a strong focus on open-air use. The cockpit and saloon connect through a bar window, and up top is a large flybridge with grill, sunpad, and full wraparound seating.

The hull moves the owner's suite to the main deck, freeing both hulls for symmetrical guest cabins or alternate layouts. Buyers can choose from three-, four-, or five-cabin arrangements depending on use. The 46 is wider, lighter, and more capable than the 44 it replaces, with full lithium battery and CZone digital switching built in from the start.

Reasons to Buy a 46 Yacht

This is a cruising catamaran used for Med island hopping, family liveaboard trips, and light charter work. It suits owner-operators who want steady performance, fuel range, and real living space. The five-cabin version is already popular with charter fleets, while private buyers usually choose the three-cabin main deck owner’s layout. The foil makes sense for longer runs or anyone watching fuel burn. 

• CE Category A certified
• Main deck owner’s suite
• Foil-ready composite hull
• Up to five guest cabins
