Published: Friday, February 6, 2026 9:00 am

Revolution Marine Group recently announced the first delivery of the Canados Heritage 36- Foot sport cruiser to the Americas, marking a major milestone for the Italian shipyard’s innovative Heritage power catamaran line. Built in Rome, Italy at the Canados shipyard, the Heritage 36’ establishes a new benchmark in performance, efficiency, and versatility for owners and operators throughout North America, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

The Heritage 36-foot ushers in a new era of modern catamaran luxury, offering a refined balance of racing pedigree, advanced naval architecture, and Italian craftsmanship. Engineered to deliver a smooth, dry ride across a wide range of sea states, the yacht’s twin-hull configuration and optimized tunnel design reduce hydrodynamic drag while enhancing stability, resulting in exhilarating performance paired with exceptional fuel efficiency.

Powered by twin 300hp Mercury outboard engines, the Heritage 36’ achieves top speeds exceeding 50 knots, with a cruising speed of 30 knots, while consuming on average 30% less fuel than most boats in its class. This efficiency delivers extended range, lower operating costs, and a more sustainable approach to high-performance boating, particularly valuable across the diverse cruising grounds of the Americas.

“The Heritage 36’ demonstrates how far modern power catamarans have evolved,” said Darren Henn, Vice President of Sales at Revolution Marine Group. “By reducing drag through its twin-hull design, the boat achieves remarkable speed with less power, delivering 50-plus-knot performance alongside significantly improved fuel efficiency. That combination makes it exceptionally well suited for the varied cruising environments across the Americas.”

Advanced Technology & Effortless Control

At the helm, the Heritage 36’ is equipped with Mercury Joystick Piloting integrated with Skyhook®, offering intuitive, confidence-inspiring handling. With the push of a button, Mercury’s SmartCraft system locks the vessel’s position and heading using GPS precision, acting as a virtual anchor that holds the boat steady even in wind or current. A Garmin GPS navigation system further enhances ease of operation.

Versatile Layout & Thoughtful Design

This version of the Heritage 36’ accommodates up to 16 passengers and features a one-cabin layout, with the head located on the port side and the cabin to starboard, both accessed via large gullwing doors.

Designed for entertaining and adaptability, the cockpit offers:

• Two large aft lounges, with an optional U-shaped configuration providing seating for up to 20 guests
• Dual dining tables seating eight, with an optional kitchenette configuration including a refrigerator, freezer, ice machine, and grill
• Extensive storage beneath the lounge seating
• Two pull-out drawer refrigerators integrated beneath the dining section seating
• Sink located in the forward settee opposite the helm station
• Forward cockpit seating for four additional guests, complete with awning for shade
• Integrated retractable passerelle / swim ladder for seamless boarding, swimming, and dock access

The Heritage 36’ is offered with a hardtop bimini for shade, while an open configuration is also available, allowing owners to tailor the yacht to regional climates and cruising preferences.

Stylish and exceptionally well-appointed, the Heritage 36’ is equally suited as a high-end dayboat or luxury superyacht tender, serving as a versatile platform for guest transfers, water sports, island hopping, and overnight stays.
