Client Reviews
The Boat:
A.Q.A is a magnificent 92’ yacht with clean, elegant exterior lines and impressive interior recently renovated.She has been designed specifically for the boat hire market and was entirely renovated in 2022! Superbly appointed inside and out, she offers a great versatility in layout and interior design. The sizeable and beautifully fitted lounge has clean, modern lines, with ample sumptuous leather sofas to relax on. However, all furniture can be removed in both lounge and dining area, should you prefer to open up the extra floor space.
The upper deck also offers a fantastic vantage point. Whilst the fly deck is completely sun-drenched, there is also plenty of shade. The outer deck is completely open and has a comfy day bed to lounge on, it is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the scenery with friends or colleagues.
