AQUILA

Aquila is a power catamaran brand launched in 2012 through a collaboration involving Sino Eagle Group, MarineMax, and multihull designer Lex Raas. It is associated with production in Hangzhou, China, where Sino Eagle established a dedicated Aquila factory. The brand builds power catamarans for cruising, charter, and private ownership.

Aquila began in 2012, when Sino Eagle Group and MarineMax worked with Lex Raas to create a brand focused entirely on power cats. The first project was the Aquila 38, built for MarineMax Vacations, followed by the Aquila 48, which is widely described as the first true Aquila power catamaran. Aquila is linked to Sino Eagle Group’s manufacturing base in Hangzhou, China, and the company says it built a dedicated factory for the brand. The builder’s background in composites and marine production underpins Aquila’s construction approach.

Aquila’s range has expanded from the original 38-foot concept to a broad lineup of power catamarans. Sources describe models extending from 28 to 70 feet, with versions aimed at cruising, owner operation, and charter use. The brand is best known for large-volume multihulls that emphasize deck space, stability, and efficient powercat performance. Aquila has also been closely connected to the charter market, especially through MarineMax Vacations, which helped establish the brand in its early years and influenced its development.
