Aquila is a superb example of the highly regarded Hylas 49. She is one of the finest, best maintained and equipped examples of the very popular and successful S&S 49 design. Aquila was delivered to California when new to her original and current owners. Their cruising plan has taken them through the Panama Canal, up the East Coast of the US throughout the Caribbean and then over to Europe for a couple of years, returning to the US in Spring 2012.

The spacious three stateroom accommodation features a large master cabin aft with centerline queen berth and en suite head, comfortable salon and offshore galley and navigation center for live-aboard and passage making. Aquila has all the valued luxury options including a generator, air conditioning, electric mainsail furling, primary winches, bow thruster, washer and dryer, water maker, solar panels and Raymarine electronics.

Few yachts in the high quality semi custom performance cruising class can compare to the Hylas 49 design for those looking for the ultimate in comfort, safety and ease of handling for cruising and live aboard. Aquila is in magnificent condition ready for her next owners. She is an excellent alternative to building a new yacht, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars more and the time to organize a one year new build.

The spacious three stateroom accommodation plan includes a large private aft master stateroom with ensuite head, two comfortable guest cabins forward with second head, large salon and galley, and proper navigation center.
