Aquila 47 Molokai

About the Aquila 47 Molokai

The Aquila 47 Molokai is a current large-format centre-console fishing power cat in Aquila’s Molokai line, combining an offshore-oriented open deck with genuine overnight accommodation. Its published overall length is 14.62 metres, so buyers should not read the model number as an exact measurement. The design remains fishing-led, but seating and shelter broaden its role to day cruising and short stays.

Below the console, the standard arrangement has one cabin with an island queen berth and a wet head with shower. The cabin also provides hanging storage and designated rod and reel stowage, making it more practical than a token cuddy. Outside, bow lounges, fold-away stern benches and mezzanine seating let owners shift between crew transport, fishing and entertaining.

At the centre helm, tiered bolstered seating sits behind a wraparound windshield, while a carbon-fibre hardtop configuration adds overhead shelter. Joystick control and digital switching support operation. The walkaround deck has side boarding doors, a central transom passage, livewells, insulated fish boxes and a forward casting area. This is an outboard power cat with no sail plan; propulsion can be specified as twin or quad Mercury installations.

For a useful size-step comparison, the 36 Molokai also offers a double cabin and private head, whereas the 47 uses an island-queen layout and offers twin or quad outboard configurations. When reviewing actual listings alongside the CatamaranWorld model guides, verify the installed engines and deck choices: the summer kitchen replaces the aft-facing mezzanine seat, while extra in-deck livewells and tuna tubes are optional. Those trade-offs materially affect fishing capacity and social space.
