Owner Experience Review
Owners running the 50byAquila Power Catamaranstypically operate it themselves for coastal cruising and long-range passages such as the Great Loop. It also suits charter/vacation rental with 3-cabin layouts, and handles family day boating and weekend island-hopping well thanks to the large aft platform, tender handling, and expansive social spaces. For extended time aboard, the ~518 US gal standard fuel capacity, a washer/dryer, and a full-size galley support genuine liveaboard routines.
On the water, owners and testers describe a stable, comfortable ride in short chop; twin bulbous bows and a wave-piercing bow shape are credited with better seakeeping and fuel economy. Typical best cruise is reported around 18–19 knots with top speeds about 21–22 knots, and published trial data place cruise fuel burn from the mid-30s to high-40s gph depending on rpm and setup. Noise levels are reportedly low—about 70 dB measured at the flybridge helm at idle and cruise—and handling is predictable for a wide-beam powercat.
Living spaces earn consistent praise: a bright, full-beam owner’s cabin amidships of roughly 180 sq ft, a roomy bridge deck with galley, a generous aft deck, and a forward lounge; one owner comment sums it up as "Best ergonomics in class. A well thought out and stylish boat." Routine access is also a strong point, with separated machinery spaces in each hull reachable via topside hatches and ladders, and inspections noting tidy wiring and double-clamped hoses. Forum threads do caution buyers to verify electrical and plumbing fit/finish on individual boats—some reports cite poor workmanship on certain China-built yachts—and many owners plan cruising with local Volvo Penta D6 dealer/service coverage in mind.
