De Antonio Yachts presents the D36 Cabin, a closed evolution of its successful open model. Designed for year-round cruising, this 10-meter walkaround features a fully glazed wheelhouse, increased habitability and a concealed outboard engine, without sacrificing performance or elegance.
D36 Cabin: De Antonio Yachts launches a closed, multi-purpose version of its bestseller
The Barcelona construction site De Antonio Yachts expands its range with the D36 Cabin, a closed evolution of its model D36 Open elected European Powerboat of the Year 2023 . Designed for longer-season use in cooler climates, the D36 Cabin retains the taut lines and walkaround layout of the original model, while offering a true enclosed cabin on the main deck - a first in the range.
Comprehensive protection without sacrificing the walkaround spirit
At the center of this new version is a fully enclosed wheelhouse, integrated into a glass superstructure with sliding side doors, accordion stern panel and zenithally-opening hardtop. Three roof versions are available: fixed panoramic glass, partial sliding or full canvas opening.
This architecture provides effective thermal insulation without depriving passengers of light or natural ventilation. An optional reversible air-conditioning system completes the package.
A modular interior layout
Inside the main cabin, the U-shaped saloon comfortably accommodates eight guests around two teak tables that can be converted into a double berth. The central furniture, designed as an island kitchen, is equipped with two 49-liter refrigerators, a cooktop or grill, a microwave oven and ample storage space. A retractable TV is available as an option.
The helm station retains its symmetry, with a double helmsman/copilot seat in a central position, guaranteeing optimum visibility and fluid circulation on board, true to the brand's walkaround DNA.
Life on board designed to last
Below, we find a typical compact cruiser layout: a forward cabin with double bed and door for greater privacy, an independent, fully-equipped bathroom, and an aft cabin with two single berths. Thanks to the conversion of the saloon, up to six people can sleep on board, a rare figure for a 10-meter unit designed in "dayboat" mode.
The shipyard clearly wanted to make this model habitable for short coastal cruises or extended outings, without turning it into a sleeper factory.
Sporty performance and concealed outboard engine
Like all De Antonio Yachts models, the D36 Cabin is equipped with an outboard engine concealed beneath a rear platform. This choice, patented by De Antonio Yachts, combines aesthetics, silence, mechanical accessibility and XXL sunbathing. Up to two x 400 hp Mercury engines are available, enabling cruising speeds of around 27 knots and peak speeds of over 40 knots, depending on configuration.
The double-ribbed hull retains its efficiency and ensures stable, dry sailing, even in rough seas.
Facilities designed with water sports in mind
The aft space offers a convertible hold for a small tender or water sports equipment. Optional equipment options include ski or wakeboard racks, fishing rod holders and additional hardtop bars. The platform is modular and functional.
The D36 Cabin is clearly aimed at active sailors who want a high-performance yet versatile boat that can be used in all seasons.
Launch schedule already set
The D36 Cabin will be officially presented at Christmas 2025, with sea trials starting in summer 2026. It will make its first European appearance at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2026, then be unveiled in the USA at the Fort Lauderdale FLIBS in October 2026. The first units will be available for sale from the second half of 2026.
