Aquila 36: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Boat Test Review on BoatTest.com

Overview

The Aquila 36 is a spacious and versatile catamaran designed to comfortably accommodate large groups while offering the luxury and functionality expected from a modern vessel. Available in two versions, both models provide ample room for social gatherings, featuring a large open bow with convertible lounge areas and two private cabins with ensuite heads. This combination of space and amenities highlights the unique advantages of the catamaran design.

Exterior Design and Deck Layout

Boarding the Aquila 36 is facilitated by two sturdy side doors, one on the port side and one on starboard, leading into an expansive aft seating area that spans nearly the entire stern. The doors are constructed with thick materials and reinforced with robust stainless steel hardware and latches, complemented by rails designed to accommodate safety chains or wires. The aft seating showcases upscale craftsmanship with quilted stitching, bead welting, and UV-resistant thread, while stainless steel drink holders are integrated into the armrests. Storage is abundant beneath the seating. The island version includes a table with a cooler and dive gear storage. The deck is thoughtfully angled aft and inward to promote efficient water drainage during washdowns. The swim platform, accessed via a transom door, enhances the boat's entertainment capabilities with non-skid c-deck surfaces, pull-up cleats to prevent tripping hazards, and an aft-facing bench seat that, combined with the cockpit bench, converts into a large sun pad. Storage is plentiful throughout this area. Notably, the swim ladder is a standout feature: it stows flush, deploys electrically, includes wide teak treads, and has automatic pop-up grab rails, representing a high standard of quality. Additional exterior features include underwater lights, a freshwater shower, stereo remote controls, and optional davits for tender storage.

Galley and Dining Areas

The galley is positioned just forward of the cockpit and offers generous storage, a pull-out refrigerator/freezer, and a Corian countertop with raised edges for practicality. It is equipped with two electric grills and a covered single basin sink featuring modern fixtures. A tilt-out trash receptacle is conveniently located below the counter. Opposite the galley on the port side is an L-shaped settee surrounding a collapsible pedestal table, which folds to reveal stainless steel grab rails. The island version offers an L-shaped table with extensive drawer storage. This dining area is centrally located under a large hardtop supported by sturdy stainless steel stanchions, providing shelter and comfort. The hardtop includes a massive sunroof that opens at the push of a button, with options for opening hatches and perimeter courtesy lighting. Snap-in curtains or full-height glass panels on the island version offer additional enclosure options.

Helm and Forward Seating

The helm station features a walk-through windshield on this model, with the island version incorporating an electrically actuated upper window to close off the passage. The helm seating includes a double-wide forward-facing seat at a comfortable 24-inch height, complemented by a newly added footrest to enhance comfort. Adjacent forward seating is versatile, with a flip-backrest allowing for multiple configurations. Moving to the bow, the spacious gathering area impresses with its configurable seating arrangements, including opposing seats, a double-wide lounger with filler cushions, and a full-length lounger option. The seats are equipped with flip-down armrests, grab handles, recessed cup holders, and integrated speakers. Mounting points for a full-bow bimini top are located at the corners, and central storage is accessible beneath the seating.

Private Accommodations

Accessed via sliding doors in the center walkway, the two cabins offer generous headroom of 6 feet 6 inches and feature berths measuring 6 feet 7 inches by 4 feet 7 inches, entered from the foot. Each cabin includes hall-side windows with pull-down blinds, overhead lighting, shelves, and drawers for storage. Electrical panels are mounted on the aft bulkhead. The ensuite heads are wet heads with full-length hall-side windows and opening port lights for ventilation. Storage is integrated along the side bulkheads, and the shower utilizes a pull-out sprayer that doubles as a showerhead, optimizing space and functionality.

2018 Model Year Enhancements

The 2018 update to the Aquila 36 introduced several customer-driven improvements and refinements. A new color scheme featuring Mocha upholstery and Brown Sea Deck enhances the vessel's aesthetic appeal. The galley was redesigned to relocate the sink for increased depth and better usability, with the grill repositioned accordingly and dedicated storage for the sink cover added. The modular stern seating now offers a wider range of options, including configurations with a barbecue and fridge, ice maker, drawers, fish box with cutting board, live well, additional storage, fishing rod holders, dive tank storage, and extra railing around the center platform. The sun pad conversion was simplified to a push-button sliding mechanism, and the cushions now include compartmentalized storage beneath. Air conditioning vents were repositioned to improve climate control on deck, delivering 16,000 BTUs. Two new canvas options allow for enclosure of the forward deck or the entire seating area. Insulated, self-draining storage was added under the L-shaped seating, featuring an embossed logo. Additional USB and accessory plugs were installed at more seating positions, and a padded bolster was added to the berth for enhanced comfort when seated and enjoying the view.

Conclusion

The Aquila 36 is a thoughtfully designed catamaran that excels as an entertainment platform and comfortable cruiser. Its ability to seat up to 20 guests, with 12 facing forward and four accommodated overnight, underscores its spaciousness and versatility. Multiple gathering areas, a well-appointed on-deck galley, and upscale finishes contribute to a refined boating experience. The numerous customer-inspired enhancements demonstrate Aquila's commitment to continuous improvement. While this review focuses on features and layout, the boat's handling characteristics are also noteworthy and covered in a separate evaluation. Overall, the Aquila 36 stands out as a formidable and elegant catamaran in its class.
