Aquila Catamarans has unveiled the 35 Sport at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026, a compact addition to its reimagined centre console Sports range that carries the bold SUV-inspired styling of its larger sibling.
The 35 Sport measures 10.8 metres overall with a 4.5-metre beam, delivering three distinct social hubs across bow, helm and aft cockpit. A double-stepped hull and twin Mercury Verado V8 300HP outboards come standard, with twin V10 400HP engines optional. Top speed ranges from 39 to 45 knots, with comfortable cruising between 25 and 34 knots.
The catamaran hull reduces drag and improves stability, while shallow draft allows access to beach anchorages. Forward seating accommodates four with integrated storage. The aft U-shaped seating features an adjustable backrest converting to a sun lounger, with side-to-side movement at the touch of a button to widen walkways. A wet bar, sink, Corian-topped galley block and Fusion Signature Series audio with six speakers complete the entertaining space.
The helm includes four seats with flip-down bolsters, armrests and adjustable positions, with a low-set dashboard for visibility. Below deck, a lockable cabin sleeps two on a queen berth with memory foam mattress, private head and shower. An optional lithium battery package supports off-grid climate control.
Additional details include concealed stainless steel swim ladder, side gates, transom freshwater shower, C-Zone digital switching and a hardtop engineered for optional roof racks. An optional Makefast shade system extends coverage.
"The 35 Sport takes everything that's worked so well on the 45 Sport and brings it to an owner looking for something more compact, without losing any of the character or performance," said Jean Raas, Chief Product Officer and CEO of Aquila USA. "The emphasis on entertainment and socializing is evident throughout." The 35 Sport is on the water at Cannes this week, sitting alongside the rest of Aquila's Sport range for buyers to compare in person before it reaches dealers.
