Global Launch of 36 Molokai and Americas Premiere of 46 Yacht

Aquila Catamarans unveiled two significant new models at the 2025 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, held from 29 October to 2 November. The global debut of the Aquila 36 Molokai and the Americas premiere of the Aquila 46 Yacht headlined an impressive line-up that also featured the 54 Yacht, 50 Yacht, 47 Molokai, and 42 Coupe.

Aquila 36 Molokai – A New Chapter in Offshore Fishing

Making its world debut, the 36 Molokai redefines the 36-foot fishing catamaran segment. Designed in collaboration with Peart Yacht Design, this purpose-built offshore platform combines serious fishing capability with surprising versatility and comfort.

A standout feature is its enclosed cabin with private head – a rare find in this size category. The space can be air-conditioned using an optional off-grid lithium battery system, extending day trips into overnight stays. Side hull windows bring light and ventilation, while a single-level deck ensures safe, unobstructed movement throughout.

Standard features include a side tuna door, leaning post with bait prep station, and an easy-access diving ladder. A full walk-around helm area, triple seating, and a robust carbon fibre hardtop – strong enough to support an optional tower – reflect Aquila’s practical, user-focused engineering.

The 36 Molokai represents our vision for what a modern fishing catamaran should be…The cabin and head space is what really sets us apart in this segment.”

Aquila 46 Yacht – Luxury Meets Performance

Following its global debut at Cannes, the Aquila 46 Yacht made its Americas premiere at FLIBS. Designed for extended cruising and entertaining, it combines luxury interiors, cutting-edge technology, and the stability of Aquila’s proven twin-hull design.

The 23’3″ beam creates exceptional volume, with three, four, or five-cabin layouts available. “This yacht delivers the spaciousness, capability, and luxury our customers expect from Aquila,” said Jean Raas.

Aquila’s Global Brand Director, Alain Raas, added, “These models demonstrate our visionary approach to power catamaran design.”
