Loaded with upgrades and professionally crewed, 2022 Aquila 54 “Grace” was run exclusively by a captain and chef and equipped far beyond a fleet build, She was ordered and upgraded the way an owner builds a boat he intends to keep, and she has been professionally crewed her entire life. That single difference is the reason she presents the way she does, and it is worth understanding before comparing her to anything else in this class.

She is available now for private ownership and she carries a current professional survey with every item completed and corrected. Nothing outstanding, nothing deferred.

The equipment tells the same story. A fleet build arrives stripped down. Grace is loaded:

• Upgraded tender package: RIB with 60hp engine, Bimini top, and tow pole, for real watersports and island hopping rather than a basic dinghy
• Yacht Controller wireless docking with dual electric capstan winches, making a 54 foot catamaran genuinely easy to handle shorthanded
• Hydraulic aft lifting platform for effortless swimming, tender launch, and time at anchor
• Double the standard house battery capacity and double the flybridge solar array, for quiet, comfortable days on the hook with far less generator dependence
• Eight underwater lights, four beyond standard
• Galley built to perform: double ovens, induction cooktop, and a 23 bottle wine cellar
• Electric salon blinds and a telescoping salon table that converts from formal dining to lounge
• Ventless washer and dryer for extended stays aboard
• Spectra watermaker, full Raymarine electronics and autopilot, air conditioning throughout, freshwater washdowns fore and aft
