Awards like these matter because they come directly from the boating community—owners and families who spend real time on the water, know what works, and recognize the details that make a boat genuinely enjoyable to use. Congratulations to the Aquila team and their global dealer network for earning that trust.

We were also glad to hear Southern Boating’s remarks on their Readers’ Choice Awards podcast, highlighting what many owners value most in Aquila’s approach: strong momentum in product development, practical and family-friendly layouts, and a clear design vision shaped by owner feedback rather than by copying competitors.

Looking ahead, the momentum continues into 2026, with new arrivals and premieres that keep pushing the power-cat segment forward. From our perspective as designers and engineers, it’s always encouraging to see recognition tied to thoughtful solutions—space planning, usability, and the small details that improve everyday life onboard.

From all of us at J&J Design, congratulations again to Aquila—and to the owners whose voices made this award possible.
