Aquila 28 Molokai Cuddy

About the Aquila 28 Molokai Cuddy

The Aquila 28 Molokai Cuddy is the enclosed forward-pilothouse member of the Molokai fishing-catamaran line, distinct from the open 28 Molokai rather than merely a trim variation. It remains a current model with a 9.38-metre overall length and 2.96-metre beam, while its defining difference is the protected cuddy and overhead arrangement.

Although the cuddy includes a cushioned transverse bunk and storage, the maker identifies no designated cabin, so buyers should not treat it as a conventional overnight stateroom. An optional toilet can add day-use convenience, while the walkaround deck, aft cockpit and central transom passage can be allocated to fishing, diving equipment or passenger movement.

At the protected helm, twin seats face SmartCraft gauges, a compass, charging points and dedicated switches, with opening side windows providing ventilation. The standard installation is twin Mercury 150 hp outboards, with twin 225 hp units optional; the working deck adds fish boxes, rod storage, raw-water washdown and an available extended canopy, with no sailing rig involved.

Against the open 28 Molokai, the Cuddy retains the same published overall footprint but trades the centre-console overhead choices for enclosed forward shelter. On CatamaranWorld, use the model guide to separate standard equipment from options, then check actual listings for the installed engines, toilet, canopy, electronics and trailer. That comparison helps decide whether weather protection matters more than the open model’s less enclosed layout.
