Aquila 36 Boat Test

  • By Chris Caswell
  • Updated: January 10, 2019

Aquila 36 Boat Test

If the idea of a magic carpet appealed to you as a kid, then the Aquila 36 will be your adult fantasy. We were speeding along aboard the 36 when I was so overcome with the sensation of being aboard a magic carpet that I wanted to fold my arms across my chest as though I were a sheik of Araby.

Part of it stems from the rectangular catamaran shape of the Aquila, of course, but mostly it was the softly undulating ride. I half expected to see the fringed edges fluttering in the breeze.

MarineMax, the world’s largest powerboat dealership, created MarineMax Vacations, a bareboat charter operation based in the British Virgin Islands, and wanted power cats in its fleet. It cut a deal with the Sino Eagle Group, a high-tech Chinese builder, to produce the Aquila line that would not only fill the company’s charter fleet but also be available to private owners as well through MarineMax dealerships. Success was immediate with the Aquila 48, followed by the 44 and now the 36.

Aquila 36 Boat Test

But the Aquila 36 breaks with her sisterships by being an outboard-powered express cruiser perfect for a family or two couples. The single-level main deck stretches unbroken from transom to bow, adding to the magic-carpet effect. Our test boat had the optional hardtop (a no-brainer) with a glass windshield and side windows, which can be ­soft-enclosed for all-weather use with air conditioning or heat.

The main living area is under that hardtop, with a dinette to port opposite the double-wide helm seat with flip-up bolsters for standing. The simple dash handles a pair of Raymarine HybridTouch screens plus a VesselView 4 systems monitor, with the throttle/shifters on an outboard elbow ledge.

Aquila 36 Boat Test

Just behind the helm seat is a summer galley with a big sink, ­Isotherm fridge and one-burner Kenyon cooktop, supplemented by a large Kenyon smokeless grill in a console. Our test 36 had the fishing option, with a livewell and tackle station aft, while the standard arrangement places a wide settee to port and another seat to starboard.

The walk-through windshield is three pieces, so you can tailor the amount of breeze in the cockpit with various combinations. More choices are forward, with folding seat backs to create fore and aft bench settees or large sun pads. The anchor gear is hidden under a hatch, with a wired-remote windlass and easy access to the all-chain rode under a separate hatch.

Aquila 36 Boat Test

The result is a stable platform that can ­carry 20 adults for afternoon outings and barbecues with seating for all. We don’t want to offend anyone, but the 36 has the user-friendly appeal of a big pontoon boat.

Yet the Aquila 36 is also a great weekender, since each hull houses a surprisingly spacious stateroom, complete with an en-suite head and shower. Each berth is just an inch under queen size and — surprise — the headroom is a healthy 6 feet 6 inches. Stowage is good with drawers plus a full-width hanging locker. The appeal of cabins in each hull is the level of privacy: no shared bulkheads or listening to anyone (except your partner) snore. Or whatever.

Aquila 36 Boat Test

Power choices are twin Mercury Verado outboards of 250, 300 and 350 hp. I can’t imagine opting for anything but the 350s that powered our test boat. Who wants an underpowered sports car? Our test boat also had a Fischer Panda 5 kW genset to power the air conditioner (and margarita blender). This is a diesel unit in a sound box in the aft starboard hull, drawing from a separate 16-gallon diesel tank.

If you’re shopping for a similar-size express cruiser cat with outboards, good luck. You can sea-trial a Fountaine ­Pajot MY 37 (about $420,000 with twin 150 hp Volvo ­Penta diesel inboards) or check out the ­ Carver 34 Coupe ($472,000) with inboards and a single cabin. Neither is ­outboard-powered.

Aquila 36 Boat Test

We were impressed by the Aquila construction, with its resin-infused hull, PVC coring and impeccable mold work. No wood is used below the waterline or in structural components, and you could eat out of the bilges. The 12-volt DC and 120-volt AC electrical distribution panel is at eye level in the starboard cabin for easy access, and all wiring is neatly loomed and labeled. Clearly built for the charter market where low maintenance and easy repairs are crucial, the seamanlike Aquila will please private owners as well.

Aquila 36 Boat Test

Underway, this magic carpet is not only quick (40-plus mph) but also fuel-efficient, eating up the miles at about 1 mpg at almost 21 mph. Since this isn’t a planing hull, the Aquila has a flat performance curve with no hump to get on plane, so if you need to get somewhere, doubling your speed to 40-plus mph still gets you better than a half-mile per gallon (0.6 mpg).

We were enchanted with the Aquila 36. It’s a great dayboat for the family, it’s equally comfortable for weekending with all the amenities, it can be fitted for fishing or diving, and it’s beautifully built. If you’ve never quite forgotten the magic carpet in One Thousand and One Nights , the Aquila 36 is for you.

aquila 36

When MarineMax approached the Sino Eagle Group, a Chinese boatbuilder, to create the Aquila series of power cats, the yacht sales firm had two goals: The first was to flesh out its MarineMax Vacations bareboat charter fleet in the British Virgin Islands, and the second was to create yachts suitable for private ownership.

Those are, in several ways, seemingly contradictory needs. Charter yachts need to be bulletproof: easy to maintain, easy to repair, easy to use. Private yachts, on the other hand, must be whatever their owners want them to be, even if using them takes a little extra maintenance now and then.

To satisfy both types of boaters, the Aquila line was created, first with a 48-footer and then with a 44-footer. The Aquila 36 is a departure from her sisterships in that she is an outboard-powered, express-cruiser-style catamaran, but she also adheres to MarineMax’s philosophies.

aquila 36

With a single main living level from bow to stern and a beam of 14 feet 7 inches, the Aquila 36 is like a bowrider on steroids. She has seating that can handle 20 adults for outings and barbecues, and there are two staterooms below, one in each hull, for family weekending. The staterooms have nearly queen-size berths, en suite heads, stowage and 6-foot-6-inch headroom.

Up on the main deck, under the optional fiberglass hardtop, are a dinette, cooktop, fridge, sink and smokeless grill. Forward, the seating transforms from benches to sun pads, and the anchor gear is hidden under a hatch with a wired remote control.

Aft, the choices include settees across the transom or a fishing/diving option with a bait tank and tackle station. Twin boarding gates allow for docking, diving or tender access.

Power choices are twin 250, 300 or 350 hp Mercury Verados, with the 350s pushing the Aquila 36 to nearly 35 knots.

A solid dayboat for the family or for fishing, the Aquila 36 is equally adept at weekending with friends.

Fountaine Pajot Mahé 36

  • By Herb McCormick
  • Updated: May 12, 2011

catamaran 36

Fountiane Pajot Mahe’ 36

Even though it’s the smallest offering in Fountaine Pajot’s line of performance cruising catamarans, there’s a lot going on in the aptly named Mahé 36 Evolution, which replaces the company’s previous 36-footer while introducing a series of evolutionary changes. Fittingly, the most obvious and important ones are above deck and relate to comfort, speed, safety, and sail handling.

Last year, the entire Fountaine Pajot fleet, including the Mahé, upgraded their collective sail plans with the introduction of the square-topped mainsails prevalent aboard big racing multihulls and America’s Cup boats. It increases sail area where it provides the greatest benefit—aloft. In the case of the 36, the mainsail is stashed in a handy dedicated “stowaway” sail bag on the boom when doused or reefed.

But the biggest change to the Mahé 36 is the all-encompassing hard dodger that completely shades the cockpit and addresses several issues at once. Incorporated into the design of the dodger is an innovative molded helmsman’s seat (with room for two) that provides the skipper with a clear view of the sails and surroundings and ready access to all sail controls. In addition to sheets and reefing lines, this includes the optional electric halyard winch and the revamped and at-hand traveler controls and clutches; the key component to mainsail trim on a cat, the wide traveler track is mounted well aft on the trailing edge of the dodger but cleverly led forward to within arm’s length of the driver.

The dual-purpose hardtop thus provides plenty of protection from the elements while at the same time offering a handy, comfortable seat—a neat trick carried out by a skilled design team.

While the hard dodger is certainly the most obvious new feature, there are lots of subtle additions as well. Topside, these include a couple of big hatches and also some lockers forward of the coachroof with enough room for an optional 4.5-kilowatt Panda generator. Down below in the galley, the fridge and oven have been repositioned, opening up a ton of storage space, and a useful island seat has been installed aft of the dining table in the central saloon. All in all, that’s a lot of evolved thinking.

“Go down to Miami and sail this 36-foot cat,” the boss said, pointing to a brochure. I liked the Miami part, but too many cruising cats only live up to the comfort side of the catamaran’s promise of speed and comfort to make me enthusiastic about the sailing. By the time I was finished with Fountaine Pajot’s Mahé 36, I liked the cat part of the assignment, too.

The famous raceboat-design team of Joubert/Nivelt designed the part of the Mahé 36 that goes through the water while O. Flahault Design was responsible for the “look” and the interior design. This combination of talents has led to a very slick little cruiser. The hulls’ waterline beam is narrow-a key factor in getting a cat through the water quickly-but above the water, the hulls flare out for increased living space and buoyancy.

Each hull is equipped with watertight bulkheads fore and aft, and construction is resin-infused fiberglass over a foam core, which makes for a strong, unsinkable structure. The 20-horsepower Volvo diesels with saildrives are located aft of the keels and rudders in their own compartments-keeping noise and fumes out of the living area. They drive the boat along at an easy 6 knots without having to goose the throttle.

There are steps in the back of each hull, with a swim ladder off the starboard one. A stainless-steel life-raft bracket is mounted off the back of the bridgedeck to port. The cockpit is large, with a table and L-shaped seats for four to port and a step up to a two-person helm seat to starboard. Directly in front of the helmsman is a pair of winches for trimming the sails.

The house is fairly high to give headroom within, and there are no attempts to streamline it; the forward windows are almost vertical for interior space and to minimize solar overheating. On deck by the mast, lockers house the anchor windlass and halyard tails. The halyards drop tidily through an aperture in the hatch and are ready when it’s time to drop the sails. A big, comfortable trampoline covers the area between the hulls all the way forward to the crossbeam.

A pair of large sliding doors opens the saloon and galley to the cockpit. Inside, surrounded by light-colored, satin-finished wood, a table for six has a great all-around view and converts to a double for extra guests. Aft to port is a (fiddleless) nav table. When I unscrewed the electric panel there, I found the wiring behind to be messy, but I assume that was because the boat was somewhat rushed to make the show on time. In each hull, there’s a cabin with a queen-sized berth aft and a head and shower with modern design elements (e.g., the sink is shaped like a bowl and sits atop the counter) forward. The alternative layout has three cabins, with an extra berth in place of the head in the port hull.

Off Key Biscayne, with 12 to 15 knots of wind, I got sold on this boat. Once the roachy main was hoisted on the 55-foot aluminum mast and the fractional overlapping jib was unfurled, the boat took off. I’d expected unexceptional performance, but the Mahé went to weather well and topped 9 knots on a close reach-this was on a 36-footer, remember. It handled the chop in the Gulf Stream like a much bigger boat, too. I found myself enjoying the sail in spite of my prejudices, and I was reluctant to head back into the marina at the end of the day. With the Mahé 36, Fountaine-Pajot and its designers have created a fun, comfortable, entry-level cruising cat that’s certain to lure more than a few monohull sailors into the grasp of its claws.

Brand: PDQ 36

catamaran 36

Designed by Alan Slater, the PDQ 36 Capella is a well-built nimble-sailing cruising cat designed for families and not for charter companies. Overall, 100 PDQ were built , making it one of the most successful cruising catamarans manufactured in North America. The PDQ 36 Capella is handsome in profile, partially due to clever styling with a cove stripe and portlights on the cabin trunk deflecting your eye from the high freeboard that is a feature of most cruising cats. The hulls are solid fiberglass below the waterline and cored with Klegacell foam above. The decks are also foam-cored, except in areas where high-load fittings are attached. Those areas are solid fiberglass. Her fixed keels make a great deal of sense and the rudders are foil shaped.

There are some 34-foot PDQs that used the same tooling with steps molded in instead of swim platforms glassed on.

Performance DNA

A speedboat for sailing fast and far

1.4 times faster than the wind thanks to low hydrodynamic resistance below the waterline, with a narrow hull profile and low all-up weight. 

Rotating mast moved further aft and high displacement bows offer high top-end speed and avoid bow pitching.

Carbon compression beam extends forwards to carbon asymmetric bowsprit. High-tech equipment that contributes to stunning performance as well as revealing the IC36's sporting credentials.

Light-weight carbon-fibre rig – build to a rigorous standard for ultimate safety whilst delivering high performance - both high speed and minimal pitching. Ultra-light composite stays support the mast, along with top-of-the-market Facnor drum furlers and other state-of-the-art fittings all contribute to a boat that combines great performance with ease of handling.
