The Tri-Deck Silent Yacht 80 is the nicest in the world... the top deck can an owner's deck. The _entire_ deck.

This catamaran really shows well. The master, VIPs and headroom make this Aquila look much larger and great option for taller boat lovers. Loved the enclosed access to upper deck. Never considered a cat but this may change my mind.

As always, another excellent review by Captain Steve. Comparing this to a Nordhavn 70+ or Flemming 70 I wonder which is a better yacht overall. I suspect the Nordhavn and Flemming would have better range but this Aquila can still cross oceans at 7 knots. Any suggestions in comparing, Capt? Pros and cons?

@BoatTEST 3 жыл бұрын

Great idea we will discuss as a team. You can go to Boattest.com and use our comparison tool. But it’s by boat type. Check it out hope it can help. boattest.com/comparison/boats/105731+82397

@sadenuttie2234 3 жыл бұрын

Best thing I could say is they are designed differently. Nordhavens are built for the specific purpose for long range cruising. They are absolutely overbuilt and strong, whereas this has more room, is more spacious, and luxurious.

If the door is thru a bulkhead 90° corners invite stress cracking at the corners. Round opening distribute those forces and reduce cracking.

You get the "sponsored by" vibes from ALL of the top manufacturers who knock it out of the park. He gushes over numerous top level makers. And there is nothing wrong with that. You might have missed the parts where he says there are things he'd like done better: more grab rails, etc.

Well, the huge step on the back sucks. If your an older owner looking to buy that's a deal killer., bad knee or hip kills this yacht. The rounded doors are fine on top, a real toe catcher on the floor though. Someone wasn't thinking there.

Overall great yacht. My issues, 1. the galley takes up too much of the saloon, also I don’t like the lower drive station. It’s unnecessary . Watch the host ascend the bridge steps it was WAY too narrow going up those stairs . The doorway into the master also too narrow. My biggest gripe with Aquila is that the heads are integrated into the master stateroom. If one person is asleep the person in the bathroom area is making so much noise. The side heads need to be at minimum closed off for sound and light. If I’m asleep I’d be real pissed at someone walking in turning on the bathroom lights and making bathroom noises . More privacy please. I don’t like or they didn’t show that the tender platform would lower so that the entire Beam of the platform would be level.
