Overview
The Aquila 36 is a versatile catamaran that offers an optional hydrofoil system designed to enhance performance and efficiency. This model is equipped with twin 300 horsepower Mercury Verado V8 engines and features a thoughtfully designed hull built to accommodate the hydrofoils either from the factory or as a retrofit. The boat balances speed, fuel economy, and handling, making it suitable for both recreational cruising and overnight stays with its two-cabin, two-head layout.
Hydrofoil System and Performance
The Aquila 36’s hydrofoil system is mounted at the midship point, with each wing measuring 42 inches wide and extending approximately 8 inches below the keel. The foils are structurally integrated into the hull, ensuring secure attachment and optimal functionality. Performance testing revealed significant advantages when using the hydrofoils with the twin 300 horsepower engines. Top speed increased from 38 to 44.1 miles per hour, with only a minimal increase in fuel consumption. At cruising speeds, the hydrofoils improved efficiency dramatically, increasing speed by nearly 38% while only slightly increasing fuel burn. Comparisons with twin 400 horsepower engines without foils showed that the hydrofoil-equipped 300s offered better speed and fuel economy, underscoring the system's effectiveness. Handling characteristics remained smooth, with the boat slicing cleanly through wakes and maintaining stability in turns, aided by the hydrofoils' lift which helps keep the vessel flatter during maneuvers.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
The exterior of the Aquila 36 is designed for both comfort and functionality. Entry is facilitated by 25-inch wide boarding gates on each side that open inward, leading into a spacious cockpit area. The cockpit features an 88-inch forward-facing bench seat beneath a hardtop that provides nearly seven feet of headroom. Optional accessories include stand-up paddleboard racks and a grilling module with refrigeration, though a standard seating option is also available. A fishing package is offered as an alternative, featuring a pedestal, bait prep area, fresh water washdown, and live well. The starboard side under the hardtop includes a cooking area with an electric grill, sink, ample counter space, storage, and refrigeration. Opposite this, an L-shaped seating arrangement surrounds a high-low pedestal table that converts into a sun pad. Clever storage solutions utilize otherwise dead space behind seats and beneath cushions, including insulated coolers and battery compartments. The observer station features a 53-inch wide seat that converts to forward-facing seating with an ergonomically angled backrest for comfort. Forward of the cockpit, a walk-through windshield and step lead to a spacious bow area with versatile seating that converts into a sun pad, complete with beverage holders, stereo speakers, and recessed grab handles. Storage compartments and anchor handling equipment are neatly integrated into the bow design. The aft deck includes a 53-inch wide seat, grab rails, pull-up cleats, a swim ladder, and the option to add supports for a tender.
Interior Living Spaces and Accommodations
The Aquila 36 offers comfortable overnight accommodations with two cabins and two heads, one on each side of the vessel. The forward berth measures 77 by 68 inches and is elevated 29 inches above the deck, providing ample space and 6 feet 7 inches of headroom throughout the cabin. Each head is located aft of the respective cabin and benefits from hull-side windows and generous storage. The interior layout is designed to maximize comfort and functionality for extended stays aboard.
Helm and Navigation Station
The helm station is located on the starboard side and features a soft-touch dash panel designed to accommodate two 12-inch multifunction displays, with a SmartCraft display centrally positioned. A compass is mounted above the displays, and a Fusion stereo control is conveniently located to the left of the tilt-mounted steering wheel. Digital throttle and joystick controls are positioned to the right, with a VHF radio mounted just ahead. Electrical switches are grouped logically near a grab rail on the port side, and a stainless steel footrest is installed below. The helm seating consists of a double-wide, 39-inch adjustable seat with individual bolsters for added comfort. Visibility from the helm is excellent, with options for half windshields or a full hardtop enclosure featuring large side windows and electrically operated sunroofs for ventilation. LED lighting and a manual red light provide illumination for night operation.
Conclusion
The Aquila 36 exemplifies the strengths of modern catamaran design, combining spaciousness, efficient performance, and thoughtful amenities. The optional hydrofoil system significantly enhances speed and fuel efficiency, outperforming larger engine configurations without foils. The boat’s exterior and interior layouts provide versatile spaces for entertaining, fishing, and overnighting, while the helm station offers excellent ergonomics and visibility. Overall, the Aquila 36 delivers a balanced package that appeals to boaters seeking performance, comfort, and innovative features in a midsize catamaran.
