On Deck

Nick begins by showing the yacht's hi-lo platform and its extended bathing platforms on either side. There is a large covered area that can be enclosed or opened for a nice ambiance. On the flybridge, there is ample storage and a dining area.

Interior

He takes note of the bar area, which is described as appealing, and mentions the various layout options for the yacht, including galley up or down, and three, four, or five-cabin options.

Nick is particularly impressed by the yacht's amenities typically found on superyachts, such as a large American fridge freezer with crushed ice on the front. He also speaks positively of the yacht's distribution panel and control panel, as well as the saloon area.

One of the yacht's unique features that is highlighted is its main deck master cabin. The light and view from the cabin's large windows delight him. The cabin's ensuite with twin basins, abundant storage, and a rainfall shower also impresses.

In the master cabin, the dressing area and walk-in wardrobe are appreciated, emphasizing the luxury of such features in a 54-foot boat. He comments favorably on the light wood finish, noting that there are options for different wood finishes.

Nick proceeds to show the rest of the yacht, including its private entrances to each cabin, the ceramic hob, oven, and microwave in the galley. He appreciates the boat's spaciousness, storage areas, and the overall ease of movement around the yacht.

Crew Accommodation

Also highlighted is the crew cabin, which he finds generous in size and well-equipped with storage, air conditioning, and good standing headroom.

Performance

Looking at the yacht's Cummins engines, which he explains are an upgrade from the standard 480 horsepower to 600 horsepower.

Nick appreciates the yacht's speed, estimating it at about 24 knots for cruising, but is clearly more impressed by its range at slower speeds. He explains that at six knots, the yacht has a range of approximately 2,000 miles, which he finds immense and suitably impressive for the style of the boat.

In Summary

In conclusion, Nick expresses his admiration for the Aquila 54, commending its luxurious features, spaciousness, and efficiency.
