Aquila (Sino Eagle Group)
Association visitAquila is the catamaran brand of Sino Eagle Group, holding independent intellectual property in its hull designs. It is presented as the world's leading catamaran manufacturer by volume, with several hundred hulls delivered into the United States, Australia, Canada, Mexico, Singapore and Spain.
The published range now spans six lines and runs 28 to 70 ft:
- Luxury — the 70, the largest model
- Yacht — 42, 46, 50 and 54 cruising models
- Coupe — 42 and 46, an enclosed-bridge variant of the Yacht platforms
- Sport — 32, 35, 36 and 45 day boats
- Molokai — 28, 28 Cuddy, 36 and 47 outboard-powered offshore boats
- Sail — 45, 50 and 65 sailing catamarans
The Sail line is the significant change. Aquila built its position entirely on power catamarans; the move into sail takes it into a different and far more crowded category, against established European multihull brands. The 50 was the first of the three to be shown as a full-scale boat; the 65 is published as arriving in 2028. Note that earlier announcements used the designations 44ES, 50ES and 63ES — the company's own site now lists them as the 45, 50 and 65 Sailing Catamaran, and those are the names used here.
It remains one of the clearest examples of a Chinese-owned brand competing internationally on design rather than on contract manufacturing.
