Aquila Superyacht in Cabo

Post author By Cabos Finest
Post date April 18, 2022

The latest superyacht to visit Cabo is The Aquila. With an impressive size of 280’ she is not the largest yacht but is one of the most beautiful to grace our busy bay. This is a rare American-built super yacht and is the largest built sine 1930. The majestic presence is built by Derecktor who unveiled her as Cakewalk before the Walmart family purchased her for a mere $150m and did a massive remodel in 2016. The Walton family have an estimated combined net worth of $149B one can assume the annual costs of $15M to be a mere pittance. Would you like to charter this gorgeous yacht? Sorry she is not for rent at this time.

When she was available, the rate was one million per week. Ann Walton Kroenke is the official owner. She and her husband Stan own other yachts, but this is the largest. Stan is the owner of the LA Rams, the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, Colorado Rapids and the U.K.’s Arsenal soccer club.

Aboard the Aquila there are 7 guest suites accommodating up to 14 lucky ducks with a crew of 28. We saw the young good looking crew at the marina yesterday as they hauled supplies from Walmart perhaps? Maybe they get a discount. There are many wonderful features about this majestic ship that came from the 1,000 people hired to refit her. including a new forward sun deck with jacuzzi, a cinema, four aft decks providing an abundance of outdoor space. Aquila also boasts a beach club deck complete with DJ booth, AV system, smoke machine and light show. Inside, a cool, calm and contemporary interior creates an aura of tranquillity. Icy silvers, dark browns peppered with nickel and clean whites are accented with patterned soft furnishings and tasteful lighting. The focal piece of the yacht though has to be the 11.2-metre ‘waterfall’ chandelier which cascades down four levels from the sun deck down to the lower deck creating shards of light across the white marble floor.

In any event it is a pleasure to watch these super yachts in the Cabo Bay. This season we have seen so many including La Datcha and the new record holder Octopus owned by Roger Samuelsson, founder of SHL Healthcare a swedish big pharma billionaire. Go figure.

While these super yachts are seldom available for private charter, there are many that are in all sizes and price points. Visit our site cabosfinest.com for a listing for details and pricing. Whether you want a luxury fishing yacht for a full day fishing trip, an afternoon snorkel adventure on a catamaran, a romantic sunset dinner cruise or a multi day island hopping excursion, we are the local broker of choice.

300 Foot Mega-yacht Dana Voyager

We have been watching and filming the many mega-yachts coming and going in our Bay of San Lucas. I also enjoy researching and discovering the story behind the yachts and the owners. This particular explorer style yacht is a bit of a mystery.

It is owned by a small supply and service company called Voyager Marine Alliance Group (VMAG) based in Fort Lauderdale FL. David Leone is the President and presumed owner of the Voyager yacht. They provide a wide range of High Seas Navigation Systems, Communications Systems, Steering and Control systems along with Custom Pilot House Integrated Consoles. They spent 3 years retrofitting and upgrading this supply ship into this amazing Mega-yacht. This is the single largest rebuild ever in the USA. It was lengthened by 30 feet to a total length of 300 feet in Louisiana then shipped to corporate headquarters in Fort Lauderdale for the final finishes and extensive electronics work.

They claim this is the first fully integrated system on a yacht. “This means that anywhere on the vessel there are access points that can monitor any type of activity, i.e. navigation, security, radar, engines, generators, power distribution, fuel, water, etc., to enable the captain to have complete control of the vessel, whether he is at the helm, in the sun lounge or in his cabin.” All systems are accessed on touch screen computers. I’m imagining the captain using an iPad to control the whole ship.The unique aft has a wide range of tenders and dive boats as well as a fully stocked dive center. These under seas diving scientists are cruising in style with a staff of 70 for support.In any event, this unique style mega yacht is being used as a floating salesroom as well as a scientific research explorer. The real mystery is how a small company with only 12 employees and annual revenue of $2.27 million can afford such a prized mega-yacht. I would imagine the annual operating costs of this beast to equal their revenue.

First up we are going up the Pacific side to the incredible Magdalena Bay. we recommend a 4-5 day minimum charter that offers up some of the best sport fishing on the planet. The season starts in September and goes through January for the best pelagic fishing of the year. The 20-hour trek is broken up with trolling during the day and then a brisk sprint overnight. You will awaken to epic fishing for large tuna, Mahi-mahi, Wahoo, and a variety of Marlin. Legendary sport fishing is only one of the draws. This is also one of the world’s best migratory whale breeding grounds. You can literally pet them here as they are used to few crowds and friendly encounters. It is common for them to Spyhole here which is a slow vertical rise so they can spy on you. Arrange for a skiff so you can enjoy fishing the shallows in the mangroves for a whole different kind of fishing or bring a surfboard for amazing and lonely surfing right at the mouth of the bay. Contact us today to discuss the details and prices. You won’t be disappointed unless you thought it would be affordable.

The Sea of Cortez is one of the most fantastic cruising destinations in the world and for good reason. Ask any seasoned yachtsman for their top five destinations and the Sea of Cortés is always listed. With the abundance of natural wonders, great weather, clean clear water, and protected bays and coves not to mention underwater splendor, reefs, fishing, seafood, and the warm smiles of the locals you have it all under blue skies and warm water. There used to be a lack of support, supplies, and charter opportunities but that is a thing of the past. Today you have two marinas in Los Cabos, a new marina in La Ribera, and four marinas in La Paz to choose from. The opportunity to explore this amazing Sea has never been more accessible. Of all the multitude of options from the Bahia de Los Angeles, The Bay of Conception, The islands of Loreto, San Carlos, and Guaymas the crown jewel is Isla Espiritú de Santos. This has been named one of the top islands in the world. Located just 45 minutes sailing from La Paz or an 18-hour cruise along the gorgeous coastline of southern Baja from Cabo.
