The Aquila 46 isn't your typical yacht, and that's exactly the point. This power catamaran offers a completely different experience: massive entertaining space, impressive headroom, rock-solid stability, and a ride that might just change how you think about being on the water. Three cabins standard...but here's where it gets impressive: you can opt for 4 or even 5 cabin layouts. Wide-open salon. A flybridge with 6'10" of headroom. Room for a tender AND a PWC. Watch our BOAT TEST to see how she handles, what the numbers really mean, and whether a powercat could be your answer. ⬇️ #Aquila46 #PowerCatamaran #BoatTest #YachtLife #CatamaranLife

Three things separate a smart boat purchase from an expensive mistake. After thousands of sea trials, we've identified the critical factors most buyers overlook. These aren't in the brochure. Your dealer won't point them out. But they'll determine whether you're still enjoying your boat in two years or trying to sell it. Here are three non-negotiables that take minutes to check but can save you from years of frustration. #BoatTest #BoatBuying #MarineExpert #Boating

BoatTEST.com takes the Aquila 46 Power Catamaran out for a full performance review, and right away it’s clear why this model has become one of the most talked-about cruising cats in the mid-size segment. Designed for range, comfort, and offshore capability, the 46 PC sits in that sweet spot between private-yacht livability and real on-the-water performance. On our test day, conditions were almost ideal—5-knot breeze, 76° air temperature—and with six people aboard and roughly 60% fuel, the boat powered up confidently on her twin Volvo Penta D6 480-hp inboards. For a yacht that displaces around 49,000 lbs., the acceleration was surprisingly quick. Handling was equally impressive: in high-speed turns the 46 PC leaned only slightly and settled right back into her groove, giving us predictable, comfortable control throughout the trial. If you’re shopping in this class, numbers matter—so we’ve included full test data, speed curves, and fuel-burn analysis here: 👉 https://boattest.com/boats/aquila/46-yacht-power-catamaran-2026 And because a boat this complex deserves more than a single look, don’t miss Part 2 of our coverage: 🛥️ Full Features Tour & Walkthrough Review — cabins, systems, flybridge layout, and everything that makes the Aquila 46 PC a true cruising platform. ➡️ https://youtu.be/dnGMCDt1jcg?si=KIdc9F-jXsgJHqw8 *✨Join Our Community:* Sign up for our daily newsletter: https://boattest.com/user/register *📱 Follow us:* 👉https://www.instagram.com/boattest_official 👉 https://www.facebook.com/boattestcom/ 👉https://twitter.com/boattest 👉 https://www.linkedin.com/company/boattest/ 👉 https://www.tiktok.com/@boatestofficial *💼 Website:* https://boattest.com/ *Boat Club* https://www.sovereignboatfleet.com/ *📝 BoatTEST Daily Newsletter:* https://boattest.com/user/register *Photo Content *”Life is Better On A Boat" Daily Newsletter Subscriber Submission. *VIP BoatTEST Yearly Membership* https://boattest.com/vip-membership We love hearing from you!

Part 2 -- Jeanneau takes the proven NC 1095 platform and elevates it with a full flybridge designed for better visibility, open-air cruising, and extra seating. The result is a compact family cruiser that feels larger than its footprint suggests. On deck, asymmetrical side decks open up valuable interior space in the salon, while the starboard side door makes line-handling and docking far easier for short-handed crews. The aft cockpit shifts effortlessly between entertaining, fishing, and lounging, and the forward sunpad adds another quiet escape when you’re at anchor. Up top, the flybridge adds a second helm, wraparound seating, and room for guests to ride elevated with a clear view of the horizon. Below, Jeanneau maintains its clever three-cabin arrangement, along with a bright salon and functional galley that make weekend cruising comfortable. Twin outboards keep the boat quick, fuel-efficient, and easy to maintain, rounding out a design focused on accessible family boating. ▶️ Watch Part 1 – Interior Features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6MFJRVPbZY 📘 Read More on BoatTEST: https://boattest.com/boats/jeanneau/nc-1095-flybridge-2026 🔎 See All Jeanneau Tests: https://boattest.com/boats/jeanneau 🌐 Visit Jeanneau: https://www.jeanneau.com/en-us/boats/powerboat/41-nc-weekender/649-nc-1095-fly#photos Hashtags: #JeanneauNC1095Fly, #JeanneauBoats, #NC1095Fly, #AsymmetricDeck, #FlybridgeCruiser, #OutboardPower, #FamilyCruiser, #BoatReview, #BoatTEST
