  • Twin-hull Italian catamaran delivers a smooth, dry ride with exceptional stability and reduced drag
  • Twin 300hp Mercury outboards propel the yacht past 50 knots while achieving up to 30% greater fuel efficiency
  • Advanced joystick piloting with Skyhook® and Garmin navigation ensures effortless, confidence-inspiring control
  • The Heritage 36' made a high-profile U.S. debut at FLIBS and Miami Art Week

Revolution Marine Group announces the first delivery of the Canados Heritage 36' 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' 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.

Purpose-Built for the Americas Market

Designed with regional diversity in mind, the Heritage 36' aligns seamlessly with the demands of boating across the Americas, from the Caribbean and Central America to the Great Lakes, Pacific Coast, and South American cruising grounds. Its high-speed capability, stability, and strong towing performance make it an ideal superyacht tender, while its shallow draft, joystick maneuverability, and fuel-efficient catamaran platform allow for confident operation in marinas, anchorages, and inland waterways.

Future builds will further expand the platform's adaptability, including an enclosed version for colder climates and a dedicated fishing configuration featuring a livewell, fish storage, secure rod and tackle lockers, and an integrated fishing chair, expanding the Heritage 36's appeal across a wide range of regional markets.

Debut & Miami Art Week Showcase

The Heritage 36' made its Americas debut at the 2025 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, receiving strong industry acclaim for its performance, efficiency, and innovative layout.

Following the show, Revolution Marine Group presented the Heritage 36' during Miami Art Week, transforming the yacht into a floating art installation through an exclusive collaboration with world-renowned artist Bradley Theodore, marking Theodore's first-ever yacht wrap.

Renowned for bridging luxury, fashion, and urban creativity, Theodore's portfolio includes high-profile collaborations with Puma, bespoke commissions with Rolls-Royce, a campaign with LEGO, and this year's "Reign of Fashion" exhibition during London Fashion Week, where he reimagined iconic luxury symbols through his signature vibrant brushwork.

Wrapped in Theodore's unmistakable artwork, the Heritage 36' hosted private tours and curated cruises, integrating high-performance yachting with contemporary art and luxury hospitality, while collaborating with Sexy Fish Miami as part of its Art of the Sea programming, demonstrating how the yachting lifestyle continues to converge with global luxury markets spanning art, fashion, dining, and experiential travel.
