What is the Aquila 35 Sport?
The Aquila 35 Sport power catamaran is an all-new 35'6" power catamaran from Aquila Catamarans — the newest model in Aquila's reimagined Sport range, carrying the bold, SUV-inspired styling of the flagship Aquila 45 Sport into a more compact package. It pairs a double-stepped hull with a 14'9" beam and twin Mercury Verado outboards (V8 300 hp standard, V10 400 hp optional), opening up four social zones from bow to stern plus a private cabin below with a queen berth and a private head with a shower. It's built for entertaining, water sports and day cruising — and designed for everything from all-day adventures to extended coastal cruising.
How big is the Aquila 35 Sport?
The Aquila 35 Sport power catamaran measures 35'6" length overall with a 14'9" beam. That beam is what defines the boat: it yields approximately 289 sq ft of deck space across the bow, helm and aft cockpit. Above that, the hardtop adds roughly 165 sq ft of open space — the best views on the boat at anchor, and a place to carry SUPs and kayaks on optional roof racks underway. Below deck, the private cabin and head account for another 118 sq ft. Height above the waterline with the hardtop is 10'2", excluding electronics, and loaded displacement is 19,985 lb. Draft is just 1'8" with the outboards down.
What is the layout of the Aquila 35 Sport?
The Aquila 35 Sport power catamaran has four distinct social zones across a 35'6" hull with a 14'9" beam: forward bow seating that comfortably fits four; a four-seat helm station with a low dashboard for clear visibility; an expansive hardtop that doubles as a space to lounge and a launch pad into the water; and an aft cockpit with a convertible, power-sliding U-shaped seating, a summer galley and an open transom for swimming and easy water access. Below deck is a lockable private cabin with a 78" x 74" queen berth, plus a private wet head of roughly 30 sq ft. On board, it feels far larger than its length — designed for everything from all-day adventures to extended coastal cruising.
How many people can the Aquila 35 Sport carry?
The Aquila 35 Sport power catamaran is certified for a maximum of 24 people. Seating is distributed across three social zones underway: forward bow seating that comfortably fits four; a helm station with four forward-facing seats; and an aft cockpit with convertible U-shaped seating that converts to a sun lounger. At anchor, the hardtop opens up a fourth space — roughly 165 sq ft to spread out, with the best views on the boat.
Can you sleep on the Aquila 35 Sport?
Yes. The Aquila 35 Sport power catamaran sleeps two in a private below-deck cabin with a 78" x 74" memory foam mattress in a queen berth, accessed directly from the helm through a lockable sliding companionway door. The cabin includes a large acrylic skylight, opening portlights on both sides, LED lighting, blinds and ample storage — plus a private wet head with an electric fresh water flush toilet, vanity basin and shower. An optional lithium battery package adds climate control for the helm, cabin, and head.
What engines does the Aquila 35 Sport have?
The Aquila 35 Sport power catamaran comes standard with twin Mercury Verado V8 300 hp outboards, with twin Mercury Verado V10 400 hp outboards available as an option. Twin outboards set wide on a 14'9" beam give the boat easy, confident docking, and Mercury's global service network means support wherever you cruise.
How fast is the Aquila 35 Sport?
The Aquila 35 Sport power catamaran reaches approximately 45-52 mph (39–45 knots) at wide-open throttle, depending on engine package, and cruises at approximately 29-40 mph (25–35 knots). Its double-stepped hull gets on plane cleanly and runs efficiently, and the boat is purpose-designed around its twin Mercury Verado V8 300 or V10 400 outboard packages. Ask your Aquila dealer for the latest performance data for your configuration.
NOTICE TO CONSUMER: The information and data around the performance of these Aquilas is approximate and subject to many different factors and variables. It is provided as a guideline only and should not be relied upon as representative of actual performance. The actual performance of your Aquila vessel will likely vary based on numerous environmental conditions including but not limited to wind speed, water currents, temperature, humidity, elevation, as well as vessel-specific factors such as bottom paint condition, optional equipment weight, and handling techniques employed by the operator.
What is the fuel capacity of the Aquila 35 Sport?
The Aquila 35 Sport power catamaran carries 396 US gallons (1,500 L) across two independent heavy-gauge aluminum fuel tanks, each fitted with a Mercury fuel/water separator. Independent tanks help balance the boat and add redundancy, and the double-stepped hull is designed to make efficient use of that capacity — delivering sport-boat performance without needing the largest engines on the transom. Ask your Aquila dealer for fuel burn and range figures for your engine package and cruising conditions.
Is the Aquila 35 Sport easy to drive?
Yes — approachability was a design priority for the Aquila 35 Sport power catamaran. A deliberately low dashboard keeps the water just ahead of the bow in clear view, with clear sightlines all around whether you're seated or standing. A variable-position steering wheel and an ergonomically placed throttle put every control right where your hands fall, and twin outboards set wide on a 14'9" beam make docking confident and low-drama. Step up to the twin Verado V10 400s and you gain joystick piloting and Skyhook station-keeping for effortless docking and hands-free hold. It drives like a big boat for entertaining, but never a daunting one — approachable enough that less experienced hands feel confident at the wheel.
What is the draft of the Aquila 35 Sport?
The Aquila 35 Sport power catamaran draws just 1'8" with the outboard engines down. That shallow draft is one of the defining advantages of a power catamaran on outboards: sandbars, shallow anchorages and skinny waters a comparable monohull can't reach are all in play, and it makes the boat as capable inland on lakes and rivers as it is along the coast.
How many seats are at the helm of the Aquila 35 Sport?
Four. The Aquila 35 Sport power catamaran has four forward-facing helm seats with flip-down bolster cushions, individual armrests, adjustable seat positions, recessed footrests and cup holders — all under the hardtop and behind the windshield. Four seats at the helm on a boat this size is rare — it means whoever's driving stays part of the group instead of running the boat alone. And it's a well-protected spot: the hardtop overhead and the windshield ahead keep everyone up front out of the sun, wind and spray.
What is the sliding cockpit seating on the Aquila 35 Sport?
The Aquila 35 Sport's aft cockpit has a power-sliding U-shaped seating module that moves to port or starboard at the touch of a button, widening the walkway — invaluable when coming alongside with a full boat, and a real advantage for captained day charter. Sliding the module also opens the deck hatches beneath. Separately, there's a manually adjustable fore-and-aft backrest. Slide it aft for social U-shaped seating. Slide it forward and it opens into a large sun lounger facing aft — for watching the kids on the tube, keeping an eye on divers, or taking in the view.
What's on the hardtop of the Aquila 35 Sport?
The expansive fiberglass hardtop on the Aquila 35 Sport power catamaran is a social zone in its own right — approximately 165 sq ft of open space with the best views on the boat at anchor, and because it extends near the gunnels, an easy launch pad straight into the water. It's engineered with dedicated positions for navigation gear and optional roof racks for SUPs and kayaks, so the toys ride overhead instead of taking up deck space. An optional Makefast shade system extends shade over the aft cockpit.
Can the Aquila 35 Sport carry paddleboards and kayaks?
Yes. The hardtop on the Aquila 35 Sport power catamaran is engineered with dedicated positions for optional roof racks designed to carry SUPs and kayaks overhead, so the toys come along without consuming your deck space.
How does the Aquila 35 Sport handle water access?
Getting in and out of the water was a core design priority for the Aquila 35 Sport power catamaran. An integrated transom walkthrough runs between the engines, with a patented Aquila slide-out concealed stainless steel swim ladder with integrated hand holds, onto a large aft swim platform. Stainless steel side walkthrough gates with acrylic panels let you board directly from a floating dock rather than climbing over the gunwale, and a fresh water pull-out shower is right there at the transom. It's built for a full day of diving, swimming and paddling.
Does the Aquila 35 Sport have air conditioning and heat?
Yes. The Aquila 35 Sport power catamaran offers an optional lithium battery package that runs climate control — air conditioning and heating — for the helm, cabin, and head, underway or at anchor, with no generator running and no engine noise. It's what turns a day out into a weekend, and a season into a longer one.
Why choose the Aquila 35 Sport power catamaran over a monohull?
A power catamaran like the Aquila 35 Sport offers more usable deck and interior space for its length, a stable and level ride, shallow draft, and — with a double-stepped hull — strong efficiency. You'd need a 40-to-43-foot monohull to come close to matching the space — and it still wouldn't give you the stability, comfort, maneuverability, and fuel efficiency that come standard with the Aquila 35 Sport power catamaran.
Why choose the Aquila 35 Sport?
Here's what sets the Aquila 35 Sport power catamaran apart:
- Space and social zones — a 14'9" beam on a 35'6" platform delivers roughly 289 sq ft of deck across four distinct social zones: a forward bow, a four-seat helm, an aft cockpit and the hardtop above — plus a private cabin below, all on a stable, level-riding catamaran hull.
- A helm built for confidence — four forward-facing seats, rare on a boat this size, with a deliberately low dashboard and clear sightlines all around, plus a variable-position wheel and ergonomically placed throttle that put every control where your hands fall.
- Performance — a double-stepped hull, shared with the flagship Aquila 45 Sport, that gets on plane cleanly and runs efficiently on twin Mercury Verado V8 300 or V10 400 outboards.
- The power-sliding aft cockpit seating — a novel feature in this class that reconfigures the cockpit or widens the walkway at the touch of a button.
- An expansive hardtop — approximately 165 sq ft that shades the helm and cockpit beam-to-beam, carries SUPs and kayaks on optional roof racks, and gives you somewhere to spread out at anchor.
- Day boat and weekender in one — a fast, entertainment-first day boat that's also equipped, with a lockable queen-berth cabin, private wet head and optional climate control, to stay out for the weekend or longer.
And the list doesn't stop there: a 1'8" draft, a patented slide-out swim ladder, a summer galley, and fully composite, vinylester-infused construction with no wood in any structural component.
Is the Aquila 35 Sport good for private owners or day charter?
Both. For private owners, the Aquila 35 Sport power catamaran is an entertainment-first day boat that's also a real weekender — fast, spacious and easy to run, with a private cabin and head below. For charter operators, the bow-to-stern social zones, summer galley and outstanding water access make it a natural day-charter platform — and the power-sliding cockpit seating module lets a captain open a wide boarding path at the dock without asking guests to move. Ask your Aquila dealer about owner and charter configurations.
Who designed the Aquila 35 Sport?
The Aquila 35 Sport power catamaran was designed by Aquila in partnership with Clearwater, Florida-based Yacht Design Works, the same design partner behind the flagship Aquila 45 Sport. The design draws inspiration from modern luxury SUVs — bold, contemporary lines and a commanding presence that translate automotive sophistication to the water.
How is the Aquila 35 Sport built?
The Aquila 35 Sport power catamaran is a fully composite structure with no wood in any structural component. The hull, deck and bulkheads are vinylester resin-infused: the infusion process eliminates air voids for superior strength and consistency, while vinylester resin delivers exceptional resistance to heat, chemicals, water and corrosion. It's finished in NPG white gelcoat and protected by an oversized rubrail around the hull/deck joint — construction built to perform, resist the water and weather that age a boat, and hold its value better over time.
Where is the Aquila 35 Sport built?
