Celtic Cat is a 2022 Aquila 44 powercat berthed at Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbor, in the BVI. Removed from limited MarineMax charter duty and recently returned from a comprehensive fleet inspection, she’s been serviced to a like new standard and presents with minimal visible wear. Her twin Volvo D4 320 hp engines show 876 and 874 hours and the Kohler 9 kW generator has 1,858 hours — figures that are comparatively low for a boat with professional fleet history.
The popular three double cabin, three ensuite layout provides comfortable private accommodation for owners and guests, while the single level salon with full 360° glazing delivers excellent natural light and sightlines. The primary cabin features a king-sized centerline bed. The salon table converts to an additional berth with a filler cushion for flexibility. The flybridge is appointed with an integrated hardtop and wet bar, forming a functional helm and entertaining area, and the aft cockpit leads to swim platforms with a retractable ladder for easy water access.
Systems and electronics are as installed from new. Navigation is handled by a Raymarine coastal package with a 12" Pro S chartplotter, CPT S transducer, VHF and autopilot with P70 rotary controller. The electrical suite includes a Kohler 9 kW generator, 5,000 W inverter/charger, dual 50A shore power cords, a substantial AGM house bank and dedicated start batteries, plus two solar panels for supplemental charging. Domestic systems include freshwater flushing heads with separate showers, Spectra Newport 400 watermaker, generous freshwater and fuel tankage, including a reserve fuel tank arrangement.
The 2022 Aquila 44 has a single-level main living deck with a forward salon featuring 360° windows, an open galley and a dinette whose table converts to an additional berth. Below deck are three double cabins—forward master and two hull cabins—each with a private en-suite head and walk-in shower. The flybridge houses the helm, seating and a wet bar, and the cockpit/fold-down swim platform provides direct water access.

Celtic Cat is the culmination of our dream to have a power cat in the Virgins. After looking at every power cat made, we chose the Aquila because of its quality, design, capabilities, and efficiency. Without a doubt, there is no other power cat made that compares to the Aquila 44.
We certainly were not disappointed. She delivered on all fronts. Because of health issues, we are forced to sell her, which was not our plan.
We enjoyed spending time on the spacious flybridge complete with grill and plenty of seating. It is wonderful for relaxing and alfresco dining.
The Master stateroom with center King is palatial for a 44.
Being part of the MarineMax Charter Fleet has been a joy. They maintained our Cat to the highest standards…true concierge service. Whoever is lucky enough to acquire Celtic Cat will have a real gem and log many wonderful experiences in the years ahead.
