2025 Aquila 36 Sport Cruiser: Power Cat Built for Everything

A low-hours, foil-assisted power catamaran that blends 35-knot performance with fully enclosed, air-conditioned comfort.


Broker Riley Dunn of The Multihull Company walks buyers through M/Y C-Cock, a 2025 Aquila 36 Sport in the desirable Cruiser Edition trim. It’s a boat that tries to do a lot — day cruiser, weekender, entertainer, even Great Loop candidate — and after watching the tour, it’s clear the platform has the range to back that up.

Power, Foils, and Fingertip Control

Propulsion comes from twin 300-horsepower Mercury Verado outboards, each with under 150 hours on the clock. Riley notes a comfortable 20–30 knot cruise and a top end around 35 knots. Just as significant is the Aquila Hydro Glide Foil System, which the builder credits with up to a 30% improvement in fuel economy along with meaningfully better ride comfort and stability at speed.

At the helm, electric throttles allow independent or synchronized engine control, and Mercury’s Joystick Piloting System handles docking and tight quarters with lateral and pivot moves. Navigation and entertainment run through dual Raymarine Axiom displays, autopilot, VHF, and a Fusion stereo. A Fischer Panda 5 kW generator supports systems at anchor, and a Fireboy suppression system watches over the engine compartment.

An Interior That Lives Larger Than 36 Feet

The Cruiser Package is what really differentiates this hull. The main cockpit is fully enclosed and air-conditioned — a proper all-weather saloon for meals or foul-weather cruising. When the day cooperates, cascading aft doors and a forward entryway with overhead hatches open the space up for genuine indoor-outdoor flow.

Galley amenities include dual Isotherm refrigeration and a two-burner Kenyon induction cooktop with a non-slip cover. Forward, the bow cockpit seats up to eight and converts to dual sunbeds, with easy access to the anchor locker and its 100 feet of chain. Aft, convertible seating flips from forward-facing lounge to sunbed, and side boarding doors on both sides make dockside life easy.

Two Staterooms, Two Heads

Belowdecks, the layout is symmetrical: port and starboard cabins each carry a queen berth, ample storage, natural light, and a private en-suite head with a separate shower stall and electric flush toilet. Fit and finish are classic Aquila — high-gloss cabinetry, soft-touch surfaces, and a clever use of space that genuinely does make the boat feel bigger than its length suggests.

Where She Fits in the Market

The Aquila 36 Sport doesn’t trade often, which makes a low-hours, turn-key 2025 example worth a closer look. Recent brokerage activity offers some context on where these boats sit.

Riley describes C-Cock as impeccably maintained, low-hours, and ready to show. Between the foil-assisted efficiency, the enclosed Cruiser cockpit, and the twin-cabin layout, it’s a compelling package for a buyer who wants a single boat that can handle weekends, longer passages, and everything in between.
