T he Greek multihull market is about to shift gears.
Athenian Yachts has signed an exclusive agreement with Aquila for the distribution of the new AQUILA sailing catamaran range in Greece — a move that signals both commercial ambition and strategic positioning in the premium sailing segment.
Known globally as the No.1 brand in power catamarans, Aquila is now expanding its footprint in sailing multihulls with a new generation of performance-oriented, design-forward catamarans that aim to redefine onboard living.
For Athenian Yachts, the partnership represents more than portfolio expansion. It cements the company’s role as a leading force in the evolution of the Greek multihull landscape.
The New Generation: SAIL 44, SAIL 50, SAIL 65
The AQUILA sailing line introduces three models to the Greek market:
• SAIL 44
• SAIL 50
• SAIL 65
The SAIL 50 will spearhead the brand’s entry into Greece. First unveiled at the Miami International Boat Show, the model quickly gained international attention and was shortlisted for the Multihull of the Year award.
With a contemporary, dynamic profile, expansive social areas and refined interior volumes, the SAIL 50 targets both private owners and high-end charter operations.
The SAIL 44 delivers manageability, efficiency and comfort in a balanced package, while the flagship SAIL 65 elevates the concept of luxury sailing catamaran, focusing on scale, long-range capability and premium onboard experience.
Importantly, all three models are available in both diesel and hybrid configurations — reflecting the market’s gradual transition toward more efficient, lower-emission sailing solutions.
Strategic Impact for the Greek Market
The timing is significant.
Demand for spacious, technologically advanced multihulls continues to grow across the Mediterranean, and Greece remains one of the most charter-dominant sailing destinations worldwide. The introduction of the AQUILA sailing range aligns with broader market shifts toward comfort-led, owner-focused platforms without compromising performance credentials.
Through its established network, sales expertise and comprehensive after-sales and yacht management services, Athenian Yachts positions itself to deliver not only product, but full ownership ecosystem support.
As stated by Fani Leschopoulou, Head of Sales at Athenian Yachts, “The collaboration with AQUILA Sailing Catamarans marks a milestone for our company. We are particularly proud to undertake the exclusive representation of a brand that embodies innovation, quality and a contemporary sailing philosophy. An AQUILA sailing catamaran is more than just a yacht; it is a complete experience, as AQUILA integrates innovation at every step — and this is the philosophy we are now bringing dynamically to Greece.”
The arrival of AQUILA sailing catamarans in Greece is not simply a distribution agreement. It is a structural addition to the country’s premium sailing segment — and potentially a reshaping force for the multihull category in the region.
