Beyond the Standard: How CE Certification Makes Your Aquila Adventure-Ready

Beyond the Standard: How CE Certification Makes Your Aquila Adventure-Ready

When conditions change unexpectedly on the water, your boat’s construction and safety features truly matter. Nothing gives you more confidence than knowing your vessel can handle challenging conditions. This is where CE Certification becomes invaluable.

CE Certification (Conformité Européenne) has been the gold standard for recreational vessel safety since 1998. Required for all boats sold in the European Union, this certification goes far beyond basic safety checks. It’s a comprehensive assessment of a boat’s capability to handle specific sea and wind conditions.

Most manufacturers build to minimal Class B or C requirements, offering Class A certification only as a premium upgrade. Aquila takes a different approach. We build every yacht in our lineup to Class A certification as standard. This means our ocean-capable yachts (the 42 Yacht, 44 Yacht, 46 Yacht, 50 Yacht, 54 Yacht, 70 Luxury, and the 50 Sail) are built from the ground up to handle the most challenging offshore conditions.

For our Coupe, Sport, and Molokai models with outboard power, we target the highest achievable certification of Class B, ensuring exceptional capability within their category.

We believe that true freedom on the water comes from confidence in your vessel’s capabilities. That’s why CE Certification isn’t just a regulatory requirement for us— it’s core to our engineering approach and commitment to giving you the best on-water experience.
