Aquila 54' 54 Yacht

2022 Aquila 54 | Tortola, BVI | $1,595,000

Most charter boats you see on the market today are charter fleet boats: built to a price, equipped to a minimum, and handed to a different guest at the helm every week. Grace is neither. She was ordered and upgraded the way an owner builds a boat he intends to keep, and she has been professionally crewed her entire life, run exclusively by a captain with a chef aboard and never once turned over to a charter guest to drive. That single difference is the reason she presents the way she does, and it is worth understanding before comparing her to anything else in this class.

She is available now for private ownership with no charter commitments, and she carries a current professional survey with every item completed and corrected. Nothing outstanding, nothing deferred.

The equipment tells the same story. A fleet build arrives stripped down. Grace is loaded:

- Upgrade tender package: RIB with 60hp engine, Bimini top, and tow pole, for real watersports and island hopping rather than a basic dinghy

- Yacht Controller wireless docking with dual electric capstan winches, making a 54-foot catamaran genuinely easy to handle shorthanded

- Hydraulic aft lifting platform for effortless swimming, tender launch, and time at anchor

- Double the standard house battery capacity and double the flybridge solar array, for quiet, comfortable days on the hook with far less generator dependence

- Eight underwater lights, four beyond standard

- Galley built to perform: double ovens, induction cooktop, and a 23 bottle wine cellar

- Electric salon blinds and a telescoping salon table that converts from formal dining to lounge

- Ventless washer and dryer for extended stay aboard

- Spectra watermaker, full Raymarine electronics and autopilot, air conditioning throughout with each room individually climate controlled, freshwater washdowns fore and aft

Her hours reflect exactly what she is: a boat that has been used properly and maintained ahead of schedule rather than one that sat. Every hour was under professional command, with systems monitored daily by a captain living aboard. Any experienced owner will tell you that a well excercised, professionally run diesel is a better proposition than a low hour engine that has been sitting.

Replicating Grace's equipment list on a base boat would cost well beyond any difference in price or model year, and it would still leave you with a boat that has been driven by strangers. Twin Volvo Penta D6 diesels, five ensuite staterooms, flybridge layout, turnkey and ready to go.
