The Aquila 35 Sport is a power catamaran just under eleven metres long, which carries over the design language of the larger 45 Sport into a more compact form. The hull features a double step. As standard, the boat is powered by two Mercury Verado V8 outboard engines, each delivering 300 PS; two Mercury Verado V10 engines, each delivering 400 PS, are available as an option. With a beam of 4.49 metres, the manufacturer states that the deck area totals around 27 square metres, spread across the bow, helm station and aft cockpit. The hardtop above measures approximately 15 square metres.
Four lounge areas on deck
The bow area offers seating for four people with integrated storage compartments. At the helm, there is space for four people on height-adjustable seats with fold-down backrests, armrests and recessed footrests. The low-profile instrument panel is designed to provide an unobstructed view ahead. The aft cockpit is dominated by a U-shaped seating area, the backrest of which can be moved forwards and backwards. In the forward position, it creates a sunbathing area with a view towards the stern; in the rear position, it forms a classic seating arrangement. The entire seating area can be moved to port or starboard at the touch of a button, which widens the passageway and provides access to the storage hatches below. A wet room with a sink, a kitchenette with a Corian worktop and a Fusion sound system with six speakers are all part of the cockpit fittings. The hardtop serves as a fourth lounge area, with fittings for optional roof racks on which stand-up paddleboards and kayaks can be transported.
Cabin with a double bed and en-suite bathroom
Below deck there is a lockable cabin with a double bed measuring 1.98 by 1.88 metres, fitted with a memory foam mattress. Access is via a sliding door next to the helm. The cabin features a large acrylic skylight, portholes that open on both sides, LED lighting, blackout blinds and several storage compartments. Adjoining the cabin is a separate bathroom with an electric fresh-water toilet, washbasin and shower. A lithium battery pack can be ordered as an option, which powers the air conditioning for the helm, cabin and bathroom even when the engines are switched off.
Powertrain and performance figures
According to the manufacturer, the two standard Mercury Verado V8 engines, each producing 300 PS, enable a top speed of around 39 to 45 knots, with a cruising speed of between 25 and 35 knots. With the optional V10 engines, each producing 400 PS, these figures are expected to increase accordingly. The double-stepped hull planes quickly and makes efficient use of the 1,500-litre fuel capacity (spread across two separate aluminium tanks, each holding 750 litres), according to Aquila. The wide positioning of the outboard motors on the 4.49-metre-wide stern facilitates manoeuvring when mooring. With the V10 engines, a joystick system with Skyhook function (automatic position holding) is available.
Water supply and other facilities
A passageway between the engines leads to the stern, where a retractable stainless-steel swim ladder with integrated handholds allows access to the water. Side passageways with acrylic panels allow access to the boat directly from a jetty, without having to climb over the gunwale. A fresh-water shower at the stern completes the fittings. The C-Zone switch system digitally monitors the DC power supply. The construction consists entirely of composite materials with no load-bearing wooden parts. The hull, deck and bulkheads are manufactured using vinyl ester resin via the infusion process. A wraparound rubbing strake protects the outer skin.
Availability and price
The Aquila 35 Sport will be unveiled for the first time at the Cannes Yachting Festival from 8 to 13 September 2026. This will be followed by a presentation in the USA at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in October 2026. Orders can be placed with immediate effect, with the first deliveries due to begin in early 2027. The boat is CE-certified in categories B (offshore), C (coastal) and D (inland waters).
