We designed this twin-engine cat with affordability in mind when searching for the best offshore fishing catamaran. The advantages of multi-hull boat are stability, draft on water, and reliability of dual outboards.
We have equipped this power cat with dual bait well at (20) gallons per side for keeping those hard to catch or expensive live baits ready to go once your offshore/inshore or just keeping beers cold. here
The twin hull design of our power catamaran produces a narrow footprint in the water when compared to a mono hull design. This provides increased rider cushion when planning out on rough seas and avoiding the “porpoise” effect that a mono hull experiences when running. more
We at Falcon Boats decided the power catamaran design of competitors could use a racing sail boat engineering blueprint. We set out to develop composite twin hull solutions for this sport catamaran and apply our knowledge of catamaran racing aerodynamics to a mid-size power cat.
We're proud to be represented by the top dealers throughout the world. Find your local dealer to step aboard an Aquila Power Catamaran today.
Pure is the word that best describes Aquila Power Catamarans which are designed exclusively as power driven yachts. Aboard an Aquila you will feel, see and hear the difference. here
A culture, a process and a commitment drives Aquila to source globally for best-in-class materials and equipment to combine with in-depth knowledge and experience in advanced yacht building practices. more
Many cats are also relatively poor weight-bearers. They may perform one way when run light, but when loaded for a full day offshore with a big crew, display very different running characteristic. As a rule of thumb, deep-Vs are affected much less by heavy loads. [links]
Boating Magazine (back when this author was on its staff) ran accelerometer tests on a 26-foot Glacier Bay powercat and a 26-foot-deep-V Regulator at the same time, in the same place. Both boats are known for a smooth ride, but the catamaran decelerated more slowly (0.287 seconds versus 0.081 seconds on average) and with less force (three Gs versus four Gs) when hitting identical waves simultaneously. Anyone who’s spent significant amounts of time on a well designed and built power catamaran won’t be surprised by this difference. It does not, of course, tell the entire story, nor does force of impact alone determine long-term comfort aboard. But more about that later – because there’s more “good” to look at before we dig into the catamaran down-sides.
Another plus of the cat design: tons of space in the bow. On this 22-footer there’s room for two or even three anglers to cast from the bow. here
Finally, since they carry their full beam all the way forward powercats have a lot more deck-space for the equivalent LOA. This is especially noticeable when anglers can utilize the bow, such as when light-tackle casting or drift fishing, since a 22’ powercat may have as much room forward of the console as most 26’ monohulls. Wait a sec – powercat owners get to enjoy yet one more perk while drift-fishing, too, since cats tend to drift beam-to while most outboard-powered monohulls drift stern-to. But, there’s a catch… here
Another prevalent cat con is leaning outward in turns. While monohulls bank inwards, some cats do the exact opposite in tight turns and leave you feeling like an egg sliding across a griddle. This can often be mitigated by trimming the inboard engine down a bit as you initiate the turn, but it takes some foresight and thoughtfulness. here
