The PDQ 36 is a highly regarded cruising catamaran that blends performance, comfort, and proven offshore capability. Designed by Alan Slater and built in Canada, it has earned a strong reputation as an owner-focused boat rather than a charter platform. With its clean lines, wide beam, and shallow draft, the PDQ 36 is equally at home coastal cruising or exploring destinations like the Bahamas.

Under sail, the PDQ 36 is lively and efficient, outperforming many cats in its class-especially off the wind-while maintaining stable, level sailing. Its fixed stub keels provide excellent tracking and protection without sacrificing access to shallow waters. Easy handling and manageable sail loads make it ideal for short-handed cruising.

Built with quality materials and thoughtful engineering, the PDQ 36 features solid fiberglass hulls below the waterline and cored construction above for strength and weight savings. The practical interior layout offers bright living spaces, comfortable accommodations, and excellent visibility from the saloon. Overall, the PDQ 36 is a well-balanced, turnkey cruising catamaran that delivers exceptional value and capability.
