About this boat

Experience the ultimate Bahamas getaway aboard the 44ft Aquila Power Catamaran Mako. Built in 2018 by Aquila Boats, this versatile power catamaran offers a perfect blend of performance, comfort, and spacious living for up to 8 guests across 3 luxurious cabins.

Powered by twin Volvo Penta D4 diesel engines (225hp each), the Mako cruises smoothly at 17 knots with a range of over 1,000 nautical miles, ensuring extended time away from the dock. Its 44'11" (13.44m) length and wide beam provide exceptional stability and ample deck space for relaxation.

The 2024 Aquila 44 Power Catamaran is a contemporary yacht that blends innovation, comfort, and efficiency, making her an ideal choice for island-hopping in the Bahamas. Designed with a wide beam and dual hull stability, she delivers a smooth, spacious, and fuel-efficient cruising experience. Powered by twin Volvo Penta engines, the Aquila 44 combines reliable performance with effortless maneuverability, perfect for exploring Nassau and the surrounding Exumas.


Her layout is thoughtfully designed to maximize comfort and entertainment. The expansive flybridge serves as the yacht’s social centerpiece, complete with a fully equipped helm, wet bar, dining area, and panoramic seating. The aft cockpit flows seamlessly into the open-plan salon, where guests can enjoy a bright and modern interior finished with elegant details. Below deck, she offers 3 ensuite staterooms, including a full-beam master cabin, providing privacy and luxury for extended stays.


Ideal for family getaways or group multi-days charters, the 2024 Aquila 44 delivers a perfect balance of space, style, and seaworthiness. With her home port in Nassau, she is perfectly positioned to unlock the beauty of the Bahamas, whether it’s a day of snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, a week of island-hopping, or simply enjoying the luxury of life at sea.

Your Bahamian escape aboard is about to begin. Get ready to discover turquoise waters, hidden coves, and pristine beaches aboard a yacht built for both exploration and comfort.
