What happens when the world’s leading power catamaran builder takes its best ideas sailing? Gwen Doring, CEO of Multihulls World, went aboard the Aquila 45 Sail Catamaran at its world debut, the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026, to find out. The tender crane came from the power range. So did the bar, which the host calls non-negotiable on an Aquila. And as she points out more than once, there’s a cup holder wherever you sit.
The result is a sailing catamaran with a 25'5" beam, 3- or 4-cabin layouts, and more than a few surprises behind its closet doors. Take the full tour below.
