    PRESENTING YACHT AQUILA

    Derecktor motor yacht AQUILA is one of the world’s largest yachts. She ranked 63rd. She is one of the 20 largest private luxury yacht charter vessels.   To date, she is the largest private yacht. In specific, built in the United States.  As one of the world’s largest yachts, she was first named CAKEWALK.  Her new owner decided being “big” wasn’t enough.  She completed a year-long major refit at the British refit shipyard Pendennis.  The 85.6-meter Motoryacht AQUILA (ex yacht Cakewalk ) is back. Furthermore, in the Mediterranean. Repositioning to the Caribbean for winter charters is in the plans.

     

    REFIT WORK

    Much of the refit work on Derecktor yacht AQUILA centered around her interior.  The well-known designers at Redman Whiteley Dixon and Susan Young Interiors created the new design, with the team from Metrica handling the actual interior installation.  About 750 square meters of blank space created the new interior.  Work included a new cinema room added to the main deck, a reconfiguration of the master suite, and new materials and finishing surfaces throughout the yacht. The designers introduced a  selection of dark wood finishes, as well as pale leather panels with nickel trim.  The result is a blending of subtle styles throughout the interior.

    THAT CHANDELIER

    Worthy of note is the installation of a custom-made chandelier, designed by the team at Susan Young Interiors, that stretches 11.2 meters over the height of four interior decks.  The work of art features 850 individual hand-blown glass pieces and is absolutely stunning.

     

    EXTERIOR RENOVATIONS

    There were some exterior renovations as well.  The sundeck Jacuzzi is now forward in of the deck. This frees 60 square meters. In specific, space converted into a private deck area for the master stateroom.  Technology upgrades include new radar, as well as new audiovisual and IT equipment.

    Motoryacht AQUILA also received a complete paint job.

     

     

    ACCOMMODATIONS

    Up to a maximum of 12 guests can enjoy the remodeled cabins.  Most yachts relegate guest quarters to lower decks.  All guest accommodations on Aquila are on the main deck.  There are an astounding 8 cabins available during a charter.  To demonstrate, a master and 4 staterooms with king-sized beds.  Further, 2 staterooms with two double beds. Lastly, 1 staff/supernumerary cabin with twin bunk beds. Every stateroom is spacious and extremely comfortable, with large windows that offer stunning views and allow natural light to pour in.
