Aquijo is a ground-breaking sailing superyacht that integrates outstanding sailing performance, state-of-the-art technology and reliability, with exceptional space, comfort and luxury – a combination rarely found on sailing yachts. “The superstructure is designed to blur the boundaries between inside social spaces and outside deck areas and offers long clear sight lines throughout. Her stunning interior is clean, contemporary and modern,” explained the builders.
“Her 90-meter masts are two of the tallest masts in the world. Her performance sail plan is set up to be safe, reliable and simple to handle. Aquijo pioneers new territory on multiple fronts; she is an astonishing sight to behold as she sets off to sail the world’s oceans,” added Vitters.
