De Antonio YachtsUnveils the New D36 Cabin
When De Antonio Yachts launched the D36 Open in 2022, it quickly established itself as one of the standout boats in its class. By winning the European Powerboat of the Year Award 2023 in the Up to 14m category, the D36 demonstrated a combination of innovative design, performance, and practicality that appealed to owners across Europe.
In 2026, the range has evolved once again with the introduction of the De Antonio D36 Cabin, bringing all-weather comfort to one of the brand’s most successful models while retaining the clean, minimalist styling that has become synonymous with De Antonio.
A New Chapter for the D36 Series
The D36 Cabin introduces a fully enclosed central cabin, offering greater protection from the elements without compromising the open feel that defines the D36 platform.
Surrounded by a striking glass structure, the cabin features sliding side doors and an accordion-style opening at the rear. This flexible layout allows owners to enjoy an enclosed helm during cooler weather or open the space completely when conditions are ideal.
Designers created a yacht for extended cruising across a wider range of climates and seasons.
Designed for Performance and Comfort
Beyond its striking new enclosed design, the D36 Cabin retains the performance characteristics that have made the D36 range so popular.
Measuring 10.4 metres (34ft 1in) in length with a 3.4-metre beam, the D36 Cabin offers generous deck space while remaining easy to handle. Below deck, the layout includes two cabins and one bathroom, making it well-suited to both day cruising and weekend trips on the water.
Powered by twin outboard engines, the yacht’s minimum power is 600hp up to its max power of 850hp, delivering a cruising speed of around 26 knots and a top speed of up to 43 knots, depending on engine configuration.
Factory-Fitted Flexiteek Decking
As with many models across the De Antonio range, Flexiteek is available as a factory-fitted decking option on the new D36 Cabin, giving owners the opportunity to customise their yacht with a finish that perfectly complements its contemporary design.
Available in Teak, Scrubbed, Bleached, Weathered and Grey, each colour has been carefully developed to suit a variety of styling preferences, from the warm, traditional appearance of classic teak through to lighter, modern finishes that enhance the D36 Cabin’s clean lines.
Beyond aesthetics, Flexiteek provides a practical alternative to natural teak. Designed to withstand the demands of life on the water, it is easy to maintain, highly durable and offers excellent grip underfoot, helping owners spend less time maintaining their deck and more time enjoying their boat.
Manufactured using Flexiteek 3, our latest generation synthetic decking is produced with bio-attributed PVC, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared with fossil-fuel-based PVC while delivering the premium appearance and long-lasting performance expected by leading boat builders.
As a trusted partner to De Antonio Yachts, we’re proud to see Flexiteek continue as part of the D36 range, providing a factory-fitted decking solution that complements the yacht’s innovative design and exceptional craftsmanship.
Looking Ahead
The launch of the D36 Cabin marks another exciting step in the evolution of the De Antonio range, combining innovative design with the versatility today’s boat owners are looking for. By introducing an enclosed cabin while retaining the distinctive styling of the D36, De Antonio has created a yacht that is equally perfect for day trips to extended weekends on the water.
We’re proud to continue our partnership with De Antonio Yachts, providing factory-fitted Flexiteek decking that complements the yacht’s premium finish. We look forward to seeing the first D36 Cabin models on the water later this year.
