Aquila 28 Molokai Cuddy – Power Catamaran Born of Hawaiian Seas.  NEW BUILD!
Built for the World. Ready for Wherever “Out There” Takes You.Meet the Aquila 28 Molokai Cuddy, a rugged, performance-built power catamaran born from a legacy of offshore endurance and inspired by the demands of Hawaiian waters. Designed for boaters who don’t let the weather dictate their schedule, this innovative model seamlessly combines hardcore offshore capability with day-boating comfort and practical design—all wrapped in Aquila’s renowned build quality.

Whether you're navigating unpredictable Pacific swells, heading out through Atlantic chop, or seeking a safe, capable ride across local channels, the Molokai 28 Cuddy delivers comfort, strength, and confidence with every nautical mile. Offering all-weather protection, generous deck space, and commercial-grade durability, this vessel is as comfortable hosting a family adventure as it is running a charter or fishing expedition.

Performance-Bred, Ocean-Tested
The Aquila 28 Molokai Cuddy was engineered with offshore performance as its priority. The catamaran hull slices cleanly through rough seas, offering a remarkably stable and soft ride—even when conditions are less than ideal. This stability is not just about comfort—it’s about safety, confidence, and fatigue-free days at sea.

Powered by twin Mercury outboards (200–225 HP each), the 28 Cuddy delivers an impressive blend of speed, torque, and efficiency. Optional Mercury Joystick Piloting enhances handling in close quarters and provides precise control, while the twin-hull layout dramatically improves tracking, acceleration, and wave-handling ability compared to traditional monohulls.

Key performance features include:

Double-stepped hulls for reduced drag and increased fuel efficiency

High bridge-deck clearance to eliminate slap and vibration in rough seas

Robust construction utilizing infused fiberglass and advanced resins

High freeboard and aggressive sheer lines for dryness and safety

Whether you’re chasing game fish, ferrying guests, or simply cruising into the sunset, the Aquila 28 Molokai Cuddy ensures a predictable, controlled, and powerful experience.

Forward Cuddy – Shelter Meets Utility
The defining feature of the Molokai Cuddy is its forward cabin area, which offers weather protection without compromising performance or cockpit space. Designed for versatility, the cuddy cabin serves as a shelter from the elements, secure gear storage, and a resting space for longer days offshore.

Features of the cuddy include:

Comfortable V-berth or lounging platform

Lockable door for security and privacy

Ventilation and ambient lighting

Optional portable head

Space for dry storage, emergency gear, or light overnighting

Unlike larger enclosed cabins that may compromise deck space or airflow, the Molokai’s cuddy maintains the open-air feel of a center console while providing critical protection when conditions demand it.

Command and Comfort – Protected Helm Station
Aquila understands that weather can change quickly—especially offshore. That’s why the 28 Molokai Cuddy includes a fully protected helm station, with a tall windscreen and robust hardtop that can be extended for greater coverage.

Helm Features:
Ergonomically designed helm with seating for two

Digital throttle and shift systems

Multi-function displays from Raymarine or Garmin

Fusion premium stereo system with marine-grade speakers

Joystick Piloting option with Mercury Skyhook (virtual anchor) capability

Fully integrated C-Zone digital switching system

The helm console is wide enough for twin 12" displays and offers clear, 360-degree visibility for safe navigation, even when things get rough. Controls are intuitive, cleanly arranged, and protected from wind and spray.

A Deck Built for Work or Play
Behind the helm lies a massive open cockpit, offering incredible versatility for both commercial use and recreational enjoyment. The space is modular, customizable, and tough enough to handle heavy-duty use without sacrificing comfort.

Standard and Optional Layout Features:
Flush, non-skid decking for safe footing in wet conditions

Aft seating with removable or folding benches

Rod holders, rocket launchers, and tackle storage for anglers

Ample under-gunwale storage and fish boxes

Optional roof racks for SUPs, kayaks, or spearfishing gear

Freshwater and saltwater washdowns

Extended swim platforms with boarding ladders

Livewell options for bait management

With a generous 9'8" beam, the Aquila 28 Molokai Cuddy provides walk-around space typically found on much larger boats. Whether you’re loading dive tanks, entertaining guests, or managing fishing gear, you’ll appreciate the clutter-free, functional layout.

Ready for Any Role: Charter, Fish, Family, or Tour
One of the 28 Cuddy’s greatest strengths is its adaptability. It is equally at home acting as a commercial tour boat, an offshore fishing machine, or a comfortable family cruiser.

Charter-ready features include:

High passenger capacity with optional centerline bench seating

All-weather protection for operators and guests

Extended hardtop or sunshade options

Non-skid decks and secure handholds

Fuel-efficient cruising range for multiple daily trips

Anglers will appreciate:

Wide beam for stability during fights

Easy-to-clean surfaces for commercial-grade operation

And for families:

Smooth ride means comfort for kids and guests of all ages
