The Ultimate Fishing Machine: Test the Aquila 47 Molokai at Miami International Boat Show

For serious offshore anglers, the Aquila 47 Molokai Power Catamaran is redefining performance fishing, and a limited number of sea trial slots are now available during the 2025 Miami International Boat Show (MIBS). Don't miss your chance to experience this purpose-built fishing machine, showcased as part of Aquila's largest-ever display of power catamarans at MIBS.

Just how capable is the 47 Molokai? Ask Monty Swan from TIDE Media, who put the boat through its paces while filming race boats at the Race World Offshore Key West World Championship, "This boat is a beast, in fact it turns better and runs in a following sea better than most I have driven." And that's exactly what you need when you're running offshore in challenging conditions.

With twin 600hp or quad 400hp Mercury Verados growling behind you, this power cat was built for those dawn runs to the canyons when everyone else is still at the dock. The twin-step hull cuts through chop like nothing else on the water, and with a massive 1,048-gallon fuel capacity, you can chase fish wherever they're biting.

This isn't your typical pretty boat with a few rod holders slapped on. We're talking serious fishing features: pressurized livewells with a Hooker sea chest system, massive fish boxes that'll hold your biggest catches, and a carbon fiber hardtop ready for whatever tower setup you dream up. Plus, those integrated dive doors make landing that monster tuna a whole lot easier.

And while the Molokai was built to fish hard, its well-appointed cabin with full climate control and luxury amenities make it equally perfect for weekend getaways. Whether you're running to the Bahamas, island-hopping in the Keys, or exploring the Great Barrier Reef, you'll find this power cat ready to entertain. The expansive exterior welcomes up to 17 of your friends and family for entertaining, the optional summer kitchen turns fresh catches into sunset feasts, and the private cabin with full shower and climate control ensures complete comfort on extended trips. This is a serious fishing machine that doesn't compromise on luxury and lifestyle.

Want to put it through its paces? You'll need to act fast. Sea trial spots during MIBS are extremely limited, and they're going quick. Fill out the form below, and we'll have a sales consultant get in touch with you to get you on the schedule.
