2021 Aquila 54 Yacht Orange Beach, AL $1,750,000 USD

"A Better Way" is a Aquila 54 Power Catamaran which embodies the reliable features and construction methods of the fleet of Aquila Yachts that cruise the waters worldwide. This model also enhances on-board luxuries with full size refrigeration and wide beam layout that includes a 4 Stateroom/Cabin Layout.

Owners will delight in panoramic views that fill the master cabin with natural light through large hull side windows, adding to the spacious feeling of the full-beam forward master cabin. Engineered with an open flybridge and solid glass front windscreen, or a completely enclosed and climate controlled flybridge, the Aquila 54 features the versatility to appeal to a global audience of boating enthusiasts.

______________________________________________________________________

Some yachts ask you to choose between space and speed, comfort and capability. This 2021 Aquila 54 Yacht Power Catamaran doesn't make you choose — and with LOW hours (<625 hrs) on her twin Volvo Penta D6-480 diesels (480 hp each), she's essentially a "Like New" Power Catamaran Yacht with all the confidence of a proven platform behind her.

Step aboard and the first thing you notice is the volume. Aquila built the 54 to feel less like a catamaran and more like a much larger monohull, with a panoramic salon, full-size refrigeration, and oversized sliding doors that open the interior straight into the cockpit. It's a layout made for entertaining, whether you're hosting sunset cocktails or settling in for a week at anchor.

Performance & Power

Twin Volvo Penta D6-480 diesels deliver a smooth, confident cruise with real offshore range, while the catamaran hull form keeps things flat and stable underway — no more chasing the horizon while your drink slides across the table. At < 625 hours, this Aquila is considered lightly used and broken in for the next owners. Cruises comfortable in the 18-20kt range.

Living Aboard

• Full-beam master stateroom with panoramic hull-side windows
• Flexible 3-, 4-, or 5-cabin layout options
• Expansive flybridge with wet bar and multiple seating/entertaining areas
• Wraparound swim step spanning the full beam — ideal for water toys and boarding
• Twin-hull stability at anchor, a genuine relief for guests prone to rolling motion

Why She Stands Out

This Aquila 54 offers the rare combination of a 2021 model's modern systems and design with none of the wear that typically comes with age. Whether you're upgrading from a monohull and craving the stability and space of a catamaran, or stepping up from a smaller Aquila into the flagship Yacht series, this is a turnkey opportunity to own one of the most livable 54-footers on the water.

Aquila worked with renowned, muti-awarded J&J Design firm for the 54 Aquila's exceptional performance and seaworthy hull shape with bulbous bow, molded chines and spray rails that provide "A BETTER WAY" top-notch stability and comfort, along with her sleek profile and yacht-like styling. The interior fit and finish is much more luxury yacht-like than typical power catamaran.
