£1.9 Million Yacht Tour : Aquila 54

[@dougle03]

Can we all take a moment to appreciate Nick's unnerving willingness to venture into engine rooms, and other tight spaces single handed, on tricky ladders wearing slippery socks... Hats off to you Nick.

[@fluffyfour]

...and one-handed as he's got the camera!

[@denniszhang4053]

salute to captain Nick😊

[@Toby_the_Glen]

.....and he didn't have to pay £1.9 million beforehand?

[@dallesamllhals9161]

..is he that old?

[@mattmayo3539]

I always get a little squeamish when he’s in those tight places. Thinking of maintaining gives me anxiety lol

[@r.a.monigold9789]

This catamaran is spacious. And Aquilla didn't waste any of it. Clever layout - nothing is crowded. This is a four season, genuine liveaboard traveling yacht. Room for plenty of clothes, food and stores of all sorts. Pack away a year's supply of everything. Wow. What a cruiser. See the World in the comfort of your own yacht - not an overpriced stateroom on a cruise ship. Aquilla, GREAT job. Nick, a fine tour. Thanks to all.

[@chunkychinn]

Except for the poor crew who are kept like rats in a trap!

[@GoodkatNW]

@@chunkychinn Aquilla is well aware that very few 53ft boats will have a full crew. It's more to say that it exists, and likely will be occupied permanently with spare cushions and fenders

[@maumor2]

@@chunkychinn no 54 footer catamaran will have a crew, that is a kids cabin

[@chunkychinn]

@@maumor2 personally I would always employ crew. Anyways Nordhavn are my favourites in particular the 140, but a new model is being released shortly. I hope that Nick will revue it.

[@BringBacktheGreeks]

@@chunkychinn That size is designed for live-in owner/operator, and easy to handle without any crew.

[@danielamazing3264]

Space. So much space. Catamarans are often roomy but this boat takes it to another level! To have 5 cabins on a 50 (ish) yacht is superb. Brilliant tour as always thanks Nick.

[@Nauticallove.]

Very nice ... I think no matter where this boat was kept it would benefit from an enclosed flybridge. I wouldn't want to only be able to man her from outside. Great tour nick.

[@tecwzrd]

NautiStyles covered the same with the inclosed fly bridge kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXLJoKaGjbubaJY Truely a very impressive amount of space for a 54ft.

[@tlstechtalk]

Yeah, I was surprised the helm was wide open.

[@beibei93]

and an internal stairs to go up to it.

[@bobbrezniak6386]

Agreed. Not that I could afford it, but I would get the enclosed bridge

[@danielfortier2629]

LOVED your comment about "your daughter's boyfriend" being in the crew cabin. LOL! Totally agree!!! Seriously though, that crew cabin could very well serve as a fourth cabin. It's not too tiny at all.

[@seanogden927]

You cannot beat a catamaran for space, great layout and I like the light finishes. I personally would opt for the enclosed flybridge. Love the main deck master cabin as well. Great tour Nick thank you.

[@doug3512]

That's a LOT of boat for the money. There are always compromises. But there's no compromise on range with this one.

[@bomguy999999]

I believe you just showed me my new favorite boat layout. Loved the daughters boyfriend remark.

[@irishterminator.]

Hey Nick you really cannot beat the amount of extra space you get with a catamaran compared to a single hull, the beam alone allows so much more also I like the main deck cabin on this beauty. Have a great day bud

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You too!

[@horstbrochhagen585]

😅there is a guy with his 54 named the wandering hillbilly. He owns hull no 5. very interesting channel on KZbin.

[@iffrit6757]

Thank you for another entertaining video. Best part for me was 5:37 , when you said 'you can imagine spending a lot of time on this' - meaning the roomy boat but pointing the camera at the toilet. Brilliant! 😄

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MarkPoppinPringlesleaf]

I never much cared for the Cats. Now that you have shown us round a few, they have started to grow on me. Its the room you have on board. For 54ft like this one, you have bags of room. Thank you so much for sharing this one with us Nick

[@debbiejudd4933]

I would live to see some of those yachts in person. And I would live to spend a weekend on this one. Thank you Nick.

[@mikeharvey9844]

I'd put my daughter's boyfriend in the anchor locker personally, but my wife likes him. I love your videos, you bring so much bonhomie and charm to them.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you! 🙂

[@Andy_M986]

My favourite power cats,the 70 is my dream boat,long range,comfort and luxury.

[@spagroen]

Remember to ALWAYS wave back to Nick when he does his wave in the mirror especially for you!

[@guidedmeditation2396]

Silent Yachts needs to hire the designer for the Aquila 54. There is so much about this boat that is right. It even has Cummins engines? Super awesome and reliable. The one fly in the Chardonnay is its a Chinese boat I understand. But I think I might be able to ignore that because the design is superb.

[@kylegilmore3810]

10:23 the sincerity gave me a good chuckle

[@TheMadSqu]

I thought the 44 is a very good deal with plenty of space and so forth. But seeing this I think it´s even better. This feels more like a 70´ yacht.

[@kevinbanham2429]

Very nice power cat thanks for showing us around Nick

[@JohnnyC10071959]

That must be the best use of 54' in the history of boats. As per usual, great video.

[@tlstechtalk]

The main deck master moves this boat to the top of my list!

[@Mens-Wisdom]

Super yacht feel for reasonable price!

[@TexanUSMC8089]

I think Aquila will sell these as fast as they can make them. Great boat and has 2000 mile range at sailboat speeds. The enclosed flybridge makes it an all-weather boat.

[@manuelvanderslikke680]

Hi Nick, Now thats a nice start for this week a great yacht from Aquila this 54 what a nice boat this is and what a space in side great I like that big master bedroom on almost the same level as the salon but also a good crew space very nice Thanks again Nick thats a great one ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@tonyosullivan2382]

"good place for your daughter's boyfriend" a classic aquaholic comment 🤣🤣👌never gets old. A fantastic boat, all I'd add to the spec is flexiteek everywhere.

[@gregchapman5556]

For such a small boat the space is fantastic. Love the owners cabin.

[@simonburrow1198]

What a fantastic use of space with a great layout . 2000 knuautical miles, great for summer long cruises. Rilliant Nick once again

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Many thanks!

[@gedmcmahon619]

Nick I've been watching your tours now for a few years and I can honestly say at 1.9 Million this is a bargain. What a beautiful boat.. One of the most beautiful Master suites you've shown us.. if I ever win the lottery or get lucky with My Art I'd buy this in a heartbeat. Just stunning. Thanks for another great tour Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Good luck!

[@mattmccann8805]

"A good place for your daughters boyfriend....." Just brilliant. And with the range it's almost up there with the Nordy for space and spec.

[@geoffos42]

Glad to see you tour an Aquila. My dream boat, (if I ever win the lottery! 😉), is the Aquila 70.

[@camm9032]

Your timing coincides with bedtime here in Australia....nice way to wind down watching another tour.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Sleep well! 🙂

[@mmsmits2868]

Love me a catamaran. So much space and no need for stabilization. Great size for long weekends but not too shabby for longer trips, with that range. Thanks for the great tour!

[@kevinfleming9919]

Great Vlog👍and great boat with a nice layout and features for a 50 footer. FYI: The "Optimus EPS" is Electronic Programmable Steering. You can change how much feedback/feel you get from it, change how many turns of the steering wheel it takes to go "lock-to-lock", set how much effort it takes to steer it, change the speed that the rudders/props/thrusters/outboards/Pods turn and respond at low speed maneuvers to make docking the boat easier, and even have it take different amounts of effort to turn the wheel at different speeds so you get smoother turns and don't send it into a sharp hard turn at higher speeds and knock people around!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Excellent, thank you!

[@jonworthing7467]

These boat are never ending. You fall in love with one, and then you pop up with another dream boat. I honestly wouldn’t know with one to pick.

[@georgezahorcak7764]

Sir, I am completely swooning over this boat. It will always be just a dream. It is a fantasy. Thank you so much for sharing it. George

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@g9rud]

Well that’s something pretty special, love the layout, especially the master cabin on the same level as the living space. Great work Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you very much!

[@bcrimi8]

My favourite is when Nick says he going to edit something out and then just leaves it in! 😉

[@paulogrinke7020]

I liked it. For a 54 it doesn't feel cramped. Liked the layout. Lots of options also for the layout. Amazing range at 6 knots. Thanks for filming her.

[@eyesofisabelofficial]

Many happy memories will be made on this splendid boat.

[@garys7828]

good to see you have matching socks🤣👍

[@stephensalt6787]

What a lovely spacious usable boat, the catamarans seem so family friendly with the huge deck area. Good tour Nick.

[@stephenjohnson4879]

Really nice yacht … like the enclosed fly bridge option. Great tour Nick

[@calliencathy]

I love the light wood - it really brightens up the boat- and catamarans my fave- also love when you say "edit out this but" but always leave it in- you're human like the rest of us...thanks for another great video Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@praeliora]

This is by far my favourite cat..just beautiful and so well thought out..

[@Joseph-ki3zj]

Great amount of space for that size boat. I was shocked !!! Thank you for the content Nick ⚓️

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@MrPeteJMc]

A great catamaran Nick. Like! We're being treated today, two videos, yours and Marianne's. 👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Ah, yes indeed! 🙂

[@sasquatch885]

Another beauty! Surprisingly long range too.👍🏻

[@FLGurl]

This is a very nice layout. Really like all the storage and the fridge! Thank you!!

[@Blackmind0]

what an impressive yacht for this lenght, 16,4 meters ! and so much space, really great katamaran, fine family boat for living on in summer.... thanks for showing us..👏 greets BM

[@torq1116]

I always love the space on Catamarans, but I do wonder how they handle rougher seas. I know they roll more than a single hull, I just don't have the experience to know whether it matters that much. But yeah, definitely would go with the enclosed flybridge!

[@michiganengineer8621]

It's not so much a matter of rolling more as it is differently, especially in a full beam sea. Wave goes under one hull, then under the bridge deck then the other hull. Personally I feel the rolling motion less on a cat than on a mono hull of roughly the same size. That's assuming no active stabilization is in use of course.

[@dannyneal6194]

Great show Nick! Interesting configuration!

[@gopher1471]

Georgeous boat and in four cabin layout too, this or the Prestige 48, choices .. choices... nice to dream. Cheers Nick. :)

[@Bob8091]

Catamarans really do let the designers show their mastery of ergonomics. More space to be creative. A nice tour, thanks Nick.

[@michaeljarman5356]

hello Nick great as always I asked your opinion on this boat a year or so ago and you hadn't heard of it so I'm glad you got around to reviewing one 😀

[@8654ZuluFoxtrot]

That rear "crew quarters" would be amazing if converted to a "dive locker". Take out the bunks and the head and build it out to hold air tanks, wet suits, air compressor to fill the tanks, etc. Just a great boat all around.

[@scottdynek2728]

The transition from the fly bridge to the foredeck was Epic!!!

[@rhysgarland9295]

I'm always torn between catamarans & full displacement mono hulls, but I absolutely adore the look of power catamarans and this one is certainly no exception. Beautiful yacht.

[@ianyoung9837]

What a super catamaran, so much space and well used. I'd have a cat over a mono hull any day, but it would also have to have a mast. 2000 miles with no fuel burnt! Loving the videos, keep them coming Nick.

[@michiganengineer8621]

Personally I think I'd opt for the kite-sail on a Silent-Yacht (55 if they'd be willing to make one more).

[@christopherchapman7453]

This catamaran is my favorite thus far! Ton's of space and great lay out, especially the owners cabin! 😍😍

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Well done Aquila,and you as well Nick.I can see why so many have sold,as it's wonderfully set-up.

[@alisavas9526]

Great tour as always and what a lovely yacht! I wasn't particularly fond of catamarans mainly because of space availability issues in Med marinas and high mooring fees but first Silent Yachts and now this, I think I'm being converted

[@blest5132]

awesome cat! I can see why they sold 70(!) of these, that layout according to the brochure is the "4 cabin galley up" but it's a crew cabin, who are they kidding. thanks for showing us this nick, cheers!

[@markbell1]

Brilliant tour, NIck. My goodness, what a great boat and so much packed in a 54 footer. Colour me impressed!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Many thanks!

[@WhistleTeets85]

The master cabin is sensational. The whole boat is actually.

[@MikeW80]

Beautiful yacht! Very spacious and the storage throughout is genius. Great video sir!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you very much!

[@darploin5071]

That's a master cabin for like a 90 ft boat. Have an excellent day your videos are always awesome

[@drewlee8771]

Thanks for sharing this Nick. I like the under $2-3 Million ships you do as these are within the realm of possibility for me as a retirement gift to myself down the road.

[@thanksfernuthin]

Always helpful when a video producer points out that there's beeping. Sometimes you think it's coming from somewhere in your house.

[@mznb1u]

Another superb tour, Nick! That is a lot of space packed into a 54 footer. Now I just need to win the lottery.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Good luck!

[@jaimiemadden590]

Intriguing it is, this Catamaran really delivers with superb accommodations and range. I’d go for an enclosed bridge Thank you Nick for another great tour

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@BringBacktheGreeks]

You are Correct. the majority of the A 54s have enclosed flybridge. Having a single bridge station, Enclosed flybridge is a Must in foul weather.

[@marchport]

Love the amount of space. Did I miss the laundry facilities? Can’t imagine a boat with this one’s capabilities not having a washer/dryer.

[@wesleyingram4703]

Quite a spacious 54 foot yacht!!!! 🙂

[@Kim_Jensen]

Absolutely fantastic boat. A month could easily disappear after boarding this beast 😃 Thanks

[@cookiemonster2299]

So much space on a 54, incredible 👍❤️🇬🇧

[@ingridadolphson9865]

Love “The daughter’s boyfriend’s cabin”. Couldn’t stop laughing 😂

[@chrisoleary9876]

Thanks Nick!

[@blackwellsmith5674]

Definitely plenty of room inside and out.❤

[@RobEJC]

Simply glorious - love these cats. Aquila did a great job with the layout and amenities, indeed.

[@penitent2401]

Thats a nice boat, love these catamarans, it's a floating home.

[@itziknadel]

So much space under 2mil... Impressive and luring

[@nickisrael9922]

Brilliant tour, Nick. Beauuuuuuuuuuuuuuutiful and impressive yacht! I just fell in love. As usual huge hugs from Colombia

[@WOW-li4uj]

Sorry Nick I had to edit my horrible grammar. I commented during a company meeting, luckily I know the boss very well and she cannot fire me as that would make dinners and our sleeping arrangement very awkward! Wonderful tour Sir, I still say you should still broker boats, very knowledgeable and comprehensive!

[@chrish2996]

Hi Nick. So many big spaces for 54ft. Storage . . And then . . And then . . And then. Talking brochures, do you collect them and gifts, pens, hats, bags etc? Love this one, no wonder they sold so many. Great walkthrough tour thanks 😊

[@gsmith207]

Seems wicked huge for 54’. Lovin this big Cat. Reminds me of a big RV diesel pusher hopping from resort to resort but on the water. Thanks for the tour Nick! And yes good spot to keep “him” out of the way indeed!

[@michiganengineer8621]

9:48 Looks like there was a Molokai moored right next door, be interested in your take on that one Nick, it might be the Aquila 36 but it looked too small. The 5 cabin configuration might be good for an owner/operator charter boat.

[@ralgor100]

What a lovely boat.

[@bigp7902]

Very nice this one loads of space and that's some range at 6 knots 2000 miles quailty boat

[@rasferrastfarian739]

A great looking boat. I really like it. Did it have laundry facilities? I agree with Clarity - I'd have the enclosed fly with internal stair - would be very nice! Thanks for the tour Nick!

[@douglasthompson296]

Very impressive!! So good the builders of Cats are using decking where before is was just trampoline netting on the hulls open spaces, a far cry from the Ibiza party cruise Cat's

[@aflaz171]

I was a bit put off by the open fly bridge for this kind of vessel. But I love these cats and this is a beauty!

[@davidsmall7676]

Very impressive Nick

[@ussdavidrrayify]

Very very nice. I’m drooling.

[@TheJeppupupu]

@0:27 He actually remembered to edit that one out later

[@nicbennett6554]

Brilliant tour of a cavernous cat! Did wonder whether a fall down the stairs from the galley might happen whilst getting a nibble after a couple of sundowners! Cat’s certainly offer a lot of space for the length.

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

A very nice yacht.

[@MurroughK]

An amazing 🤩 boat , all in 54ft ! Has become my favourite. Cheers Nick , keep me dreaming 😅

[@jkennett9104]

Really nice boat think the three cabin works really well great tour Nick !

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks!

[@loki7441]

By far the nicest Cat you have reviewed. Those engine room ladders must be hard on the unshod feet.

[@zagrepcanin82]

Im in love!😍 not only it has 3 descent sized cabins but also good kitchen and normal sized fridge. i need to win Euro millions tomorrow and order one. there are 1230 islands in my country which i didnt visit. out of 1242.
