The 3 cabin’s bareboat power catamaran Aquila 44 was built in 2016 and it is docked in Mars Harbour, Bahamas. The Aquila 44 (2016) can accommodate up to 8 people in 3 cabins and it has 3 toilets. The overall length of the boat is 45 ft / 13,7 m. The main equipment (find the complete list on the ’Equipments’ tab): air condition, stand up paddle (sup) and it’s obligatory extras: navigare carefree, navigare carefree surcharge for two/more weeks. The main sail is furling/roll. You can check-in from 16:00 h and check-out until 10:00 h.
Why charter this Aquila 44
3 cabins for 8 berths means about 3 guests per cabin, so bag storage and sleeping turns are clear before departure. 2.7 guests per head matters on early marina mornings, when showers, breakfast and casting off compete for time. At 13,7 m, this power catamaran works best when swim stops still leave time for the evening berth.
Best charter fit
Aquila 44 suits crews comparing cabin separation, luggage storage and bathroom timing across 3 cabins and 3 heads. The catamaran beam is useful at anchor, but marina planning needs wider berth options and earlier docking choices.
The Sea of Abaco from Marsh Harbour
The Sea of Abaco is a long, cay-guarded sound off Great Abaco, sheltered from the open ocean by a barrier of cays, with the Loyalist settlements strung along it, Hope Town under its candy-striped lighthouse among them. The planning question is how far down the chain of cays to work before turning back, not whether to make an offshore crossing. Leonard M. Thompson International Airport (MHH) is a short drive on the Abaco mainland. Straight after handover, Hope Town or Man-O-War Cay is an easy first reach across the inner sound if the daylight holds, or a night at the Marsh Harbour base if the boat comes in late. The barrier leaves the inner sound calmer than the banks outside, so most of the week can be built from short inter-island legs. The Exumas or Eleuthera mean longer, exposed crossings of the banks, out and back, so allow more than a week to wait for the weather and start home early.
