​Aquila Molokai 28 - A Versatile Boat for Professional and Personal Excursions

For a true tropical yacht, take a look at the Aquila 28 Molokai - inspired by native Hawaiian watercraft. Born from the rigours of island hopping in the tumultuous waters of the Pacific Ocean, the Aquila 28 Molokai Power Catamaran is perfectly suited for almost any boating condition.

The impressive stability and large aft and forward cockpits make the Aquila 28 Molokai suited for offshore fishing with family, tournament competitions, and even professional charter sportfishing. And, although the Aquila 28 Molokai Power Catamaran is primarily designed as a fishing platform, it has plenty of family-friendly features too.

When not used for fishing or diving, friends and family can enjoy other waterborne activities, including tow sports, or just relax onboard while visiting a favourite sand bar, or island. Lounge on the bow seating area or pull up the bow table and enjoy your favourite beverage at sunset with up to 10+ guests onboard.

The broad stance makes it easy to walk around both sides of the centre console while the position of the centre console provides a 360-degree line of sight with controls strategically positioned for ease of operation. The Aquila 28 is truly a versatile boat that amplifies your boating lifestyle.

Designed with versatility in mind, the Gran Turismo 45 allows the crew to elevate onboard liveability to another level. Metallic grey “fashion plates” fixed to the sides of the hard-top and on the engine air intakes give it that sporty style while the hard top and the large hull windows, lend it a sleek, modern look and infuse the interior with soft, natural daylight.

The cockpit of the Gran Turismo 45 is furnished with a vast U-shaped seat that creates a comfortable area for guests. The Wet Bar features a sink, fridge and ice-maker and comes with a retractable TV that can be raised to provide entertainment - all day or night.
