2020 Aquila 36 Hydro-Glide — Adventure-Ready Luxury, Super-charged Efficiency

Slip the lines and watch horizons rush closer: this upgraded Aquila 36 isn’t merely a day-boat, it’s a go-anywhere weekender that out-paces and out-classes anything in her size range. Her Hydro Glide Foil System delivers up to 25 % more speed and 40 % better fuel economy, so you’ll cover more miles, burn less fuel, and arrive with a grin that lasts long after the engines spool down. If you crave silky-smooth rides, effortless handling, and the comfort to cruise year-round, read on—your next chapter is floating here, turnkey and waiting.

Life Aboard—A Quick Tour

Walk aboard via the broad swim platform and notice how the custom dinghy davits tuck the Highfield tender neatly aft—ready for beach landings yet never in your way. Step into the cockpit and choose your climate: sides zipped for full A/C comfort or rolled up for open-air entertaining around the expandable dining table and grill module.

Forward, coupe-style full-height glass shields the salon, while the clear vinyl aft curtain zips in seconds when weather flips. At the helm, dual Garmin 8612 displays, Mercury joystick, and SkyHook station-keeping make single-handed operation a breeze—dock like a pro, drift a wreck, or hold position for that perfect sunset shot.

Below, twin cabins each offer a queen berth, en-suite head, and privacy doors—ideal for two couples or a family of four. A Fischer Panda 5 kW genset and upgraded freshwater capacity (128 gal) keep the A/C humming and the showers flowing long after lesser boats turn home.

Everywhere you look, thoughtful mods—Magna Shades on every window, bow sun-shade canopy, abundant custom storage—prove this cat has been curated by owners who actually cruise, not just daytrip.
