DELFINA - Aquila Power Catamarans FOR SALE

Aquila 36 Power Catamaran — where elegance, capability, and generous volume come together in perfect balance. For those drawn to the grace of the ocean and the excitement of spirited handling, this 2019 Aquila 36 delivers the feel of a luxury motor yacht with the agility and efficiency of outboard propulsion. Purpose-built for relaxed coastal cruising and confident offshore runs, this twin-hulled multihull offers an impressively steady ride, an expansive open deck plan, and the kind of versatility that turns every outing into something memorable.

Thoughtfully conceived as a social hub and a true weekender, the Aquila 36 blends liveaboard comforts with rugged composure and precise control. The broad 14'7" beam unlocks an airy, open-concept layout, while the stable power catamaran hull—with its wide stance and twin sponsons—keeps the boat exceptionally composed both at speed and at rest. Entertain a crowd with cockpit seating for more than two dozen adults and enjoy a topside summer galley complete with a smokeless grill, wet bar, and abundant serving space. Two private staterooms, each with its own en-suite head and full shower, offer refined overnight accommodations, enhanced by large hull windows, deck hatches above each berth, and a calm, quiet ambiance that invites lingering onboard.

Performance comes courtesy of efficient and proven twin Mercury Verado 350 hp outboards featuring Joystick Piloting and Skyhook station-keeping—an ideal pairing for punchy acceleration, whisper-smooth maneuvering, and excellent fuel economy. With a shallow draft of just 2 feet, the boat slips into beach and sandbar anchorages as easily as it stretches out on offshore passages. The hardtop provides welcome shade and overhead lighting, with two opening deck hatches for breeze and an available electrically opening sunroof for an added dose of sky. Dual swim platforms with easy-access ladders make boarding a pleasure and transform the stern into another inviting gathering zone.

At the helm, a premium command center blends ergonomic comfort with an impressive suite of electronics. Upgrades include twin 12" Raymarine Axiom displays—one Axiom Pro RVX with sonar and one Axiom Pro Basic—supported by a Raymarine i70s instrument package, a 4kW Quantum 2 radar, 3D/Chirp transducers, and an AIS 700 transceiver for confident navigation. Night passages and low-light arrivals are aided by a FLIR M304 thermal camera, while a Mercury VesselView 403 keeps vital engine data at your fingertips. Four Lumitec SeaBlaze2 underwater lights (6000 lumens) set the mood at anchor, and helm control of the anchor windlass streamlines deployment and retrieval. A Fusion marine audio system delivers crisp, immersive sound throughout the boat, and an optional cockpit enclosure extends the season when the breeze turns cool.

Longer escapes are supported by a Fisher Panda PMS5000 5kVA diesel generator and efficient refrigeration, along with air conditioning for cabin and deck comfort. The electrical architecture centers on a master control panel for 12V and shore power at the starboard companionway, with remote battery master switches and an engine-parallel remote for redundancy. Power reserves include two dedicated AGM 200Ah engine start batteries in the aft locker and a 200Ah AGM house battery with provision for a second, all supported by a robust 120A/3000VA inverter/charger. System visibility is excellent thanks to volt/amp meters, a digital tank monitor for water and waste, a galvanic isolator, and a reverse-polarity indicator. The multi-zone entertainment head unit at the companionway simplifies audio control for seamless indoor-outdoor living.

Safety and engineering are first-class. The fuel system features fully independent, heavy-gauge aluminum tanks totaling 1350 liters/356 US gallons with helm-read gauges, manual fuel shutoff valves, dedicated tank vents, and both natural and forced ventilation controlled from the dash. A watertight bulkhead isolates the cabin spaces, while Mercury fuel filters and an automatic, heat-activated fire suppression system—with helm alarms for the tank area—deliver peace of mind offshore. On deck, 316 stainless-steel railings and handholds, a custom PVC rub rail with stainless insert, and a tempered-glass windscreen in a custom aluminum frame underscore the boat’s robust build. Ten through-bolted pop-up 316 stainless cleats, a 316 stainless anchor platform and roller, an emergency ladder, and LED navigation and courtesy lighting round out a deck package designed for serious yachting.

Every inch of the living areas reflects comfort and craft. Both cabins feature V-shaped double berths with memory-foam mattresses, light-tone wood cabinetry accented by matching hardwood trim, and a durable, maintenance-friendly synthetic sole that looks as good as it wears. Upholstered ceiling and side panels add warmth, while plentiful drawers, lockers, and shelves keep gear tidy. Each cabin provides blinds, LED overhead and reading lights, AC outlets, a carbon monoxide alarm, and generous natural light from large hull windows and overhead hatches, with the en-suite heads delivering the privacy and convenience expected of a true cruising catamaran.

The Aquila 36’s outdoor spaces are brilliantly arranged for relaxation and flow. Forward, a generous cockpit easily seats eight and converts into two large sunbeds for lounging at anchor; LED cupholders and integrated speakers elevate the atmosphere. Amidships, a starboard helm seats two in comfort, matched by companion seating for two to port, placing everyone at the heart of the action. The starboard galley features a Corian countertop, an 80L/2.8 cu ft fridge/freezer, sink, storage, and AC outlets, while a portside settee with a folding table creates a welcoming spot for meals and conversation. An insulated, drained cooler is built into the port seating, keeping refreshments close at hand. Aft, convertible seating quickly transforms into a sun pad and can face forward or aft to suit the moment; additional outboard seating to port and starboard provides even more flexible options. The entire deck is thoughtfully engineered to be self-draining, with extra scuppers forward for quick runoff, and heavy-duty side boarding doors to port and starboard simplify dockside access. A gate leads to the expansive aft swim platform, where a large locker accommodates optional ladders, and broad aft hatches open to well-organized equipment spaces supported by easy-lift gas shocks.

Storage solutions abound. A dedicated anchor locker with a separate chain locker keeps ground tackle orderly, while concealed lockers sit under the forward seats in each hull, beneath the forward cockpit sole, and under all aft seating. An integrated targa arch blends style and function, the hardtop casts cool shade with overhead LED lighting for the settee and galley, and exterior upholstery from a leading international supplier ensures comfort and longevity. All upper deck furniture in FRP is elevated off the sole for easy cleaning and efficient drainage—one of many small, thoughtful design cues that set this sport yacht apart.

Helm authority is superb, with joystick control making docking in tight marinas refreshingly simple. The Mercury Verado 350s—currently showing approximately 1350 hours—are known for reliability and refined power delivery, and they pair beautifully with the cat’s slippery hulls to deliver a ride that is quiet, quick, and confidence-inspiring in a range of conditions. The generator sits at roughly 565 hours, a reassuring indicator of light, thoughtful use and diligent systems management.

Equally at home as a dayboat, weekender, or coastal cruiser, this Aquila 36 power catamaran is the ideal platform for entertaining, family escapes, and adventurous runs to new horizons. Combining the poise of a luxury motor yacht with the efficiency of a modern express cruiser, it brings together comfort, capability, and design clarity in a way few multihulls can match—an offshore-capable, entertainment-forward cruising catamaran that turns every passage into an occasion.

A digital tank monitor tracks water and waste, a galvanic isolator shields underwater metals, and a reverse-polarity indicator safeguards shore connections. Entertainment flows through a multi-zone system with the master unit at the starboard companionway.

Cabins

Both cabins welcome with V double berths dressed in memory-foam mattresses for restorative sleep. Light-toned wood furniture in durable plywood with matching hardwood trim contrasts elegantly with synthetic, wear-resistant flooring that offers a maintenance-free, natural look. Side and ceiling panels are upholstered for a hushed, refined ambience, while thoughtfully placed shelves, lockers, and drawers provide generous stowage. Blinds soften every window, overhead and reading lights are all LED, and AC sockets add practicality. Each cabin is protected by a carbon monoxide alarm, naturally ventilated by a deck hatch above the bed, and bathed in daylight through large hull windows.

Hull and deck

The exterior is finished to endure and impress, with railings and handholds in AISI 316 stainless steel and a custom PVC rub rail with a 316 stainless insert for full-perimeter protection. A tempered-glass windscreen in a custom aluminum frame pairs with two variable-speed wipers for clear vision. Ground tackle management is effortless via a 316 stainless anchor platform and roller, while 10 pop-up mooring cleats in solid, polished 316 stainless are through-bolted for absolute security. Deck fills in 316 stainless steel are clearly organized—1 for water, 2 for fuel, 2 for waste—alongside an emergency ladder for peace of mind. Navigation is marked by LED lights to port and starboard with anchor and running lights, and boarding is simplified by integrated side gates port and starboard with robust stainless hardware. Comfort flourishes with four LED drink holders forward and six more in the deck salon, a 30 amp shore-power plug, LED overhead lights in the hardtop above the settee and galley, a sound system with 2 speakers in the forward seating area and 2 in the arch, and a flag pole elegantly placed at the port aft quarter.

Deck

Life on deck is effortless and social. The forward cockpit comfortably seats 8 and converts into 2 expansive sunbeds, while the starboard helm provides ergonomic seating for 2 with matching companion seating to port aligned for balanced cruising comfort. The starboard galley, finished with a Corian surface, integrates an 80 L/2.8 cu ft fridge/freezer, practical storage, a wash basin, and AC sockets, opposite a port-side settee with a folding table. Entertaining is easy with an insulated cooler and drain built into the port seating. Aft, convertible seating transforms into a sunbed facing forward or aft; additional outboard seats to port and starboard face forward to keep guests engaged with the ride. The entire deck drains aft with supplemental forward scuppers, and heavy-duty side boarding doors port and starboard speed marina life. A gate opens to the generous aft swim platform, where a large hatch awaits optional ladders, and big aft hatches deliver clear access to equipment lockers. Movement is intuitive through an opening in the windscreen and a lower door for simple access to forward seating, with dedicated storage lockers forward in each hull beneath the seats and additional stowage under the forward sole and beneath all aft seating. Gas-assist struts ease all large hatches. An integrated targa arch supports the hardtop, which carries 2 opening deck hatches (with an optional electrically opening sunroof). Exterior upholstery is designed and supplied by a leading international company, and all upper-deck furniture in FRP is elevated off the deck for effortless cleaning and drainage.
