Aquila 36 Power Catamaran - Alternate Aft Deck Module Layouts

by John Curnow on 13 Nov 2017 When we reviewed the Aquila 36 Powerboat originally, we were very impressed with the 'Great Entertainer', as we called it. Here was a spacious vessel, capable of taking a family and guests to all the best spots quickly, comfortably and with an ambience of grace and style that not many vessels are capable of competing with. Our video, below, has been watched by many all over the globe.



During our review, we spoke of how it was also a little bit like the Great Transformer as well, for it has a variety of configurations for you to choose from, and they are not just whether to have the full front windshields, or only partial ones. No, here are versions to suit a variety of uses, and are possibly even more plentiful than the ones offer for engine size/configuration. One of the most asked about was the fishing version, an example of which is due in Australia early in the new year, so it will be something to look over closely.

For now though, here are the renders of the factory options, so please enjoy determining which one you will be purchasing.
