Is the Aquila 47 Molokai Power Catamaran a luxury catamaran with serious fishing chops? Or is it a serious fishing catamaran with luxurious appointments and accommodations? That’s for you to decide.
One thing that is certain is that the Aquila 47 Molokai is the first catamaran of its kind. Until now, if you wanted a center console catamaran with the speed, ride and fishability required for overnight runs to the canyons, banks or islands, your sleeping accommodations were going to consist of a beanbag on deck or, at best, an airbed on the console floor.
The Aquila 47 Molokai, though, combines real offshore fishing chops with not only a head and shower but also a spacious, air-conditioned stateroom with a queen-sized island berth. Two entry doors provide easy access, while large overhead and side windows flood the cabin with natural light during the day and let you stargaze from your bed at night.
Powered by twin 600 hp or quad 400 hp Mercury Verado outboards, the Aquila 47 Molokai delivers thrilling performance and a smooth, predictable ride, thanks to her aggressive twin-step hull design and strong, lightweight vacuum-infused construction. Joystick piloting makes close-quarters maneuvering a breeze, while a 1,048-gallon (3,967 Liter) fuel capacity brings any horizon within reach.
Underway, seven protected helm seats in two air-conditioned rows keep your crew safe and comfortable, while state-of-the-art Raymarine electronics, C-Zone digital switching and a custom-tuned Fusion audio system put information and entertainment at your fingertips.
On the fishing grounds, pressurized livewells fed by a Hooker sea chest keep your bait lively, while cavernous fish boxes accommodate the largest fish and longest trips. Electric reel outlets provide power for deep-dropping, and the carbon fiber hardtop is factory reinforced for outriggers and custom towers.
