Aquila Celebrates 100th 32 Sport Power Catamaran Milestone

A TESTAMENT TO VISIONARY THINKING THAT TRANSFORMS EVERYDAY MOMENTS INTO EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES

There was genuine pride in the air as the Aquila team recently celebrated a significant milestone: the completion of our 100th Aquila 32 Sport power catamaran. This achievement represents more than just a production number. It's proof that our commitment to making boating smoother, easier, and more fulfilling resonates deeply with boaters everywhere.

MORE THAN JUST NUMBERS

"Reaching 100 boats in the 32 Sport lineup isn't just a manufacturing milestone—it's validation that we've created something truly special," reflects Jean Raas, CEO of Aquia USA and Chief Product Officer. "Every one of these boats represents a family looking to make great memories, and that's what drives everything we do at Aquila."

The Aquila 32 Sport has become an entry point for many, perfectly embodying the idea that out there starts here. It's where weekend warriors discover the catamaran advantage, where families create their first memories aboard an Aquila, and where the boating lifestyle becomes accessible without compromise.

WHY THE AQUILA 32 SPORT RESONATES

When boaters evaluate their options, the 32 Sport consistently stands out. Marine press and owners alike recognize its unique appeal. Power & Motoryacht describes it as a "smooth-driving dayboat with a whopping, built-in fun factor," while owner Megan Coyle puts it more personally: "I don't think there's anything out there on the market today in the 30 to 35 foot range that checks all the boxes like this boat does." Her sentiment echoes what we've heard from dozens of 32 Sport owners — this boat delivers exceptional value across every aspect of the boating experience.

THE PERFECT BALANCE

The secret to the 32 Sport's success lies in her ability to seamlessly blend day boating excellence with overnight capability. It's what makes this boat, as Multihulls World noted, the "perfect platform for a day or weekend on the water." With a spacious cockpit and bow for entertaining and overnight accommodations for two, the Aquila 32 Sport delivers both the handling and wave-taming ride that transforms any outing into an adventure.

Owner Jacob Coyle captures this versatility perfectly: "We have an 80-20 split of kind of a boating lifestyle. 80 percent of our boating lifestyle is coastal, meaning we usually go to the sandbar. We like to take it to lunch or dinner, and we have the kids out, so it has to be comfortable and spacious and accommodate the kids. But then the other 20 percent is we like to go and travel... And we want the boat to be able to do that too. So you need a crossover, which I think this boat is totally a crossover."

INNOVATION IN EVERY DETAIL

Every inch of the 32 Sport reflects our dedication to thoughtful design and engineering excellence. From the moment you step aboard, you notice the difference:

Stability That Inspires Confidence: The 12'8" beam provides exceptional stability that makes single-handling possible and comfortable for boaters of all experience levels.

Effortless Maneuverability: With engines positioned far apart and optional joystick piloting, docking becomes intuitive rather than intimidating.

Thoughtful Space Design: The cockpit is, in a word, huge for a boat of this size with seating for 12, an expandable table that doubles in size and an insulated cooler beneath the starboard bottom cushion.

Water Access Redefined: The fixed swim platform features what BoatTEST called "a heavy-duty ladder that is among the most rugged we've seen."

TECHNOLOGY THAT EMPOWERS

The Aquila 32 Sport showcases how advanced technology can make boating more accessible and enjoyable. Features like the optional Mercury's joystick piloting system transform the boating experience, making it welcoming to a broader range of enthusiasts. As one owner noted: "The new technology which the Aquila 32 has—I mean, I've never driven a joystick before we got the Aquila 32, and now I've driven joystick and I'll probably never go back."

This technological approach removes barriers and builds confidence, whether you're taking the kids out solo or entertaining friends who aren't familiar with boating.

PERFORMANCE MEETS EFFICIENCY

With twin outboards up to 600 hp total, the 32 Sport delivers thrilling performance while maintaining remarkable efficiency. According to BoatTEST's 2021 review*, best cruise came at 3000 rpm where she ran 16.3 mph and burned 12.9 gph. That translated to 1.3 mpg and a range of 319 statute miles. This efficiency means more time exploring and less time at fuel docks. Exactly what weekend adventurers want.

THE LIFESTYLE CONNECTION

What truly drives the 32 Sport's success is how it adapts to your plans and dreams. The boat transforms from a social platform for day trips to an intimate overnight retreat. The summer kitchen makes it possible to prepare everything from quick snacks to full meals, while the air-conditioned cabin and private head provide comfort when plans extend beyond sunset.

"It's our happy place. It's just where we go to feel at peace," explains Jacob, capturing the emotional connection that drives customer loyalty.

LOOKING FORWARD

As we celebrate this milestone, we're reminded of what drives us forward. Each Aquila 32 Sport that leaves our facility carries with it our commitment to quality craftsmanship, sustainable practices, and creating memories that span generations.

The success of the 32 Sport validates our position that for experience-first boaters, Aquila is the boat builder that consistently delivers exceptional value and performance. Our forward-thinking approach continues to make boating smoother, easier, and more fulfilling, because we believe experiences on the water are among the greatest life has to offer.

Because out there, thrills abound.
