2019 Aquila 44 Yacht Power Catamaran

Alexander Marine Australia are pleased to have SOLD the 2019 Aquila 44 Yacht Power Catamaran 'Event Horizon'.

'Event Horizon' is a shining example of Aquila's globally acclaimed design. Crafted by Sino Eagle Yachts and developed in collaboration with internationally renowned designers, the Aquila 44 has earned a strong reputation for its clever use of space, open-plan layout, and exceptional performance. Built with serious coastal and offshore cruising in mind, this model is a go-to for discerning owner-operators and families seeking a versatile, ocean-capable platform with all the comforts of home. Now in the hands of only her second owner, 'Event Horizon' continues to stand out in the market.

Stepping aboard 'Event Horizon' via the generous swim steps on each hull, you'll immediately appreciate a key point of difference, her custom-built and integrated tender storage solution. Designed to mirror Aquila's innovative approach seen on larger models like the 54 and 70, this system allows for secure and efficient tender launch and retrieval between the hulls, with the elevated custom platform structure blending seamlessly into the vessel's lines. Each hull's swim step provides a stable and safe area for boarding and gear handling, while also serving as a practical spot for fishing or preparing water toys. This thoughtfully engineered stern upgrade not only enhances functionality and onboard safety but also elevates the vessel's visual appeal in true Aquila fashion.

The cockpit is an expansive, weather-protected zone for relaxation and dining, with wraparound lounge seating and a table comfortably accommodating six guests. Enhancing this space is a clever hopper window and cockpit bar accompanied by two fixed bar stools, connecting the cockpit with the galley, perfect for casual dining or serving drinks. A cockpit gas Weber BBQ, transom shower, and generous under-seat storage add practicality, while the extended bimini roof, another standout modification, seamlessly continues the vessel's design lines while offering outstanding weather protection. Fitted with drop-down mesh screens, this area becomes a versatile all-weather entertainment zone that significantly expands the vessel's livable space.

Moving inside, the saloon is light-filled and inviting, with large panoramic windows and an open-plan layout. The galley located to port is well-appointed, fitted with an Isotherm upright fridge and freezer, Kenyon two-element induction cooktop, LG microwave, and ample cabinetry. Forward of the galley, the saloon lounge area features a raised U-shaped settee to port, with a Isotherm bar fridge and hi/lo 42" Hisense TV positioned to starboard for relaxed movie nights.

Accommodation is beautifully laid out across three private cabins, each with their own ensuite. The on-deck master stateroom is located forward, spanning the full beam of the boat and offering a true retreat with its double island bed, dedicated desk/vanity, 40" Hisense TV, and large private bathroom with a walk-in shower and electric toilet. Guest cabins are located in the port and starboard hulls, both with generous double beds, large hull windows for natural light, and their own ensuites, ensuring a consistent level of comfort for all aboard.

Ascend to the flybridge and you're greeted by another expansive entertainment zone. Fully enclosed with clears and zip-in inner shade covers, this space offers panoramic views and is ideal for year-round cruising or hosting underway. Forward, there's a central helm with dual Raymarine Hybridtouch MFDs, autopilot, and engine controls. To port and starboard are helm seating arrangements, giving the skipper a social connection with guests. Aft on the flybridge is a U-shaped lounge and table, plus a wet bar complete with Kenyon BBQ, Vitrifrigo ice maker, and dedicated storage. It's a brilliant all-weather space whether you're underway or enjoying sunset drinks.

With twin Volvo Penta D4 300hp diesels, 'Event Horizon' comfortably cruises at 16 knots and can reach speeds up to 23 knots. The QS Seamaster bow and stern thrusters and wireless Dockmate docking remote make maneuvering a breeze. The vessel is self-sufficient for extended stays off-grid, with 8 solar panels, Victron lithium house battery system, Spectra 64 LPH watermaker, and Fischer Panda generator. Safety and visibility are enhanced with Raymarine cameras, FLIR thermal imaging, and a Ring security system.

A 3m Brig RIB with 20HP Honda outboard, featuring electric start, trim and tilt, is effortlessly launched via the Davco ADC 350kg davit, and four fishing rod holders and a bait board make for easy angling days. Additional features like underwater lights, a 6kg Solt clothes washing machine in the master, and high-quality finishes throughout solidify 'Event Horizon' as one of the most comprehensively optioned Aquila 44s on the Australian market!

Ready for her next adventure, 'Event Horizon' offers an exceptional blend of performance, comfort, and capability in a platform that's both luxurious and manageable for couples or families. Whether cruising the Whitsundays or venturing along Australia's coastline, she's a proven catamaran that delivers on every level!
