Arcadia | 2016 Aquila 48

Lighthouse Point, FL, US

About

"Arcadia" is a 48' four cabin/four head Aquila power catamaran that was specially ordered and custom modified at the factory by the manufacturer as per the requirements of the original purchaser. She was modified to carry a Hell's Bay Boatworks, 17.8 professional flats skiff or any other similar skiff with similar specifications across her stern. 

In addition to a skiff she carries a 13' AB hard bottom inflatable tender on a davit suspended above. She is not your stock version of the Aquila 48' four cabin. This vessel was custom modified at the factory by extending the hulls astern for more floatation and lift to support the extra weight of a skiff and the tender. The hydraulics and the swim platform were custom engineered and modified by enlarging the lift platform deck and fabricating special mounts for the hydraulics that allow clearance while deploying and retrieving the skiff. Custom rolling and removable support chocks were fabricated and installed in the platform deck for the skiff. The support chocks can be easily removed and stowed and then replaced with custom teak panels that cover the rails of the support hardware. This in combination with three 12" Accon pop up cleats along the aft edge of the platform deck make a clean unobstructed deck surface that functions as an enlarged swim platform when a skiff is not onboard.

The vessel comes with numerous upgrades and an extensive inventory of spares for the main engines, generator, electrical components, lighting, pumps for various systems onboard and others.

"Arcadia" is the perfect charter vessel or large family cruiser for that Island hopping.  This vessel is essentially turnkey and ready to cruise as is.

We take pride in our happy customers

I recently sold my Lagoon 450 with the Multihull Team. I would highly recommend their services. The professionalism and personal treatment I received was greatly appreciated.

— Derek Schroeder

Great Service, Great People
Helped me through the process.
I would go through them again in a future purchase.

— David Anderson

The Multihull Company made the process of buying our boat easy and predictable. Both our agent (Francisco Montaner) and Andrew Holland communicated well and educated/informed us of each step in the process. I highly recommend The Multihull Company for those shopping for a catamaran!

— Jeffrey Bredeson

Chuck at The Multihull Company is the real deal.
He helped us find our Lagoon 40 after genuinely listening to what we needed, not just what he had to sell. He let us visit the boat multiple times, answered every question honestly, and helped us make a confident decision on a major purchase.
What impressed us most was the post-sale support. Once the paperwork was signed, Chuck was still picking up the phone, offering referrals, and helping us work through the early stages of liveaboard life. That kind of follow-through is rare.
If you are looking for a multihull and want someone who knows the boats and actually cares about the outcome, Chuck is the person to call.

— Richard Chandler

We just purchased a 2025 Nautitech 44 Open with The Multihull Company. The process of getting here has been great, and we could not have asked for a better agent. We worked with Conor, whom we met at the 2025 Cannes Boat Show. We started our search for a cruising catamaran in Florida at the beginning of the year. We spent a couple of months looking at different boats/models within our price range and quickly narrowed it down to what really mattered to us, in part thanks to the wealth of knowledge and expertise our broker provided. When we found a perfect match in Montenegro, Conor and The Multihull Company did not hesitate to continue supporting us and to lead the efforts from start to finish with great care and transparency. Communication and support have been outstanding throughout this entire process. Conor, in particular, showed great compassion and care, going above and beyond to ensure that no stone was left unturned and that we would be able to safely and happily sail off into our big adventure.
