Since its founding in 2012, Aquila Catamarans has surpassed more than 1,250 catamarans built. The announcement follows a successful Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, where the Aquila display drew more than 1,000 visitor inquiries (up 15% year-over-year).

Aquila’s boat show season included the world premieres of the 35 Sport and 45 Sail at the Cannes Yachting Festival, the 45 Sail North American debut at the Annapolis Sailboat Show, and a nomination for Cruising World Boat of the Year.

“Building 1,250 boats is a special milestone and a reflection of how we adapt and respond to changing customer needs,” chief revenue officer Nick Harvey said in a press release. “We will continue to develop new segments and models at a pace unrivalled in the marine industry. Bringing the largest catamaran display ever seen at a boat show to FLIBS was a statement of intent, and there is much more to come.”
