Aquila 36 Molokai

About the Aquila 36 Molokai

The Aquila 36 Molokai is the current fishing-led centre-console power catamaran in Aquila’s Molokai line, rather than a variation of the 36 Sport. Its open walkaround deck, hardtop and overnight retreat position it between a pure day-fishing platform and a compact weekender. CatamaranWorld treats the model separately because its layout, equipment priorities and accommodation differ materially from the similarly numbered Sport.

Inside the console, a double berth and private head create a useful overnight retreat, with a sink and portable toilet supplied as standard. Air conditioning and a fresh-water flushing toilet with holding tank are optional, so listings should not imply they are fitted universally. Outside, forward lounges, under-deck storage and the broad aft cockpit let owners balance casting room, gear stowage and casual guest seating.

Individual helm seats face a central console with a wraparound windshield, digital switching and Mercury electronic controls. The single-level walkaround deck includes a forward casting area, central transom passage, side dive door, fish boxes and pressurised livewells; aft corner jump seats and slide-out cooler seats are optional. Standard propulsion is by twin Mercury V8 outboards, while the carbon hardtop provides prepared mounting areas for electronics, outriggers and a future fishing tower.

For buyers choosing between the Aquila 36 Sport and Molokai, the clearest distinction is layout: the Sport has two cabins and two heads, while the Molokai has one double cabin and one private head, prioritising its fishing cockpit. Cross-check actual listings against the current model guide, especially for optional seating, air conditioning, upgraded toilet, tuna tubes and extra livewells, and confirm the installed engine package before comparing prices.
