The Great Entertainer finally arrives in Sydney - Aquila 36

by John Curnow on 25 Aug 2017
The Great Entertainer arrived in Sydney in time for the Sydney International Boat Show and quickly impressed... - Aquila 36 John Curnow
Finally, one of Aquila's new 36 powerboats makes it to Australian shores. What a delight she is, and her build quality continues on from her larger sister, the Aquila 44, which we tested back here. She is certainly the Great Entertainer, with ample room everywhere, and there are many ways to personalise your Aquila 36 with various configuration options available. Having just delivered their 100th hull overall, Aquila has made a serious name for themselves, and this new craft will continue that trend.

With thanks to Multihull Central, we got to find out all about the Aquila 36 both inside Sydney Harbour, and also offshore down past South Head. A full review will follow on soon enough. In the meantime, please enjoy this photo essay, and if you are in Australia, see the Multihull Central team either online or call them on 1300 852 620 (AUS) to find out more. Internationally, please see Aquila Boats for details.
