CLEARWATER, FL (November 18, 2025) — Aquila Catamarans will participate at boot Düsseldorf 2026, taking place January 17-25 at Messe Düsseldorf, Germany. Aquila will display the Aquila 42 Coupe power catamaran, marking the first time Aquila will have a model on exhibit at the world's largest indoor boat show.
The indoor exhibition environment provides visitors with a detailed view of the Aquila 42 Coupe's innovative carbon fiber Aquila Hydro Glide® foil system, which comes as standard and delivers up to 40% better fuel efficiency over monohulls. At a 30-knot cruise speed, the foiling technology can achieve ranges up to approximately 545 nautical miles at 0.64-0.68 kilometers per liter (1.5-1.6 miles per gallon). Typically submerged during in-water boat shows, the semi-foiling system will be fully visible on the exhibition floor, allowing attendees to view the engineering behind these performance gains.
The 42 Coupe combines all the fun of an open-air sport boat with the cabin comforts of a yacht. Its generous 15-foot 11-inch beam creates remarkable space for entertaining, while the single-level layout flows from salon to cockpit. Two private cabins with en-suite bathrooms and separate showers, an expansive electric opening sunroof, and large hull side windows provide comfort for day cruising and weekend getaways.
The 42 Coupe on display features the Volvo Penta D6 440 HP Dual Propellor (DPI) sterndrive configuration. The model is also available with dual Mercury Verado V10 400 HP outboard engines, providing boaters with propulsion options to suit their preferences.
"Boot Düsseldorf provides an important opportunity to connect with European boaters and industry professionals," says Alain Raas, Global Brand Director for Aquila Catamarans. "Our team will be on hand to discuss our complete product range—from our recent expansion into sailing catamarans to our fishing-focused Molokai line, sport models, coupes, and our yacht and luxury segments. We're continuing to grow our presence in markets around the world."
Aquila's presence at boot Düsseldorf comes at a time of significant industry recognition for the brand. The Aquila 46 Coupe recently won the 2025 Yacht Style Award and has been nominated for the 2026 European Powerboat of the Year award, with the winner to be announced during the show.
Visitors to boot Düsseldorf can find the Aquila 42 Coupe and company representatives at the Aquila display in Hall 4.To schedule a private viewing or for more information about Aquila's participation at boot Düsseldorf, visit https://www.aquilaboats.com/boat-shows/boot-dusseldorf.
