Bareboat Catamaran AQUILA
Lagoon 40 catamaran from Portisco. Explore Sardinia under sail.
About Bareboat Catamaran AQUILA
AQUILA is a 2021 Lagoon 40 catamaran offering a refined bareboat experience from Portisco, ideal for groups seeking independence and space across Sardinia's crystalline waters. The hull design delivers stability and shallow-draft access to remote anchorages, whilst the catamaran's beam creates generous deck areas rarely found on monohulls of comparable performance.
The saloon capitalises on the Lagoon's signature width with panoramic windows delivering 360-degree views and abundant natural light. An L-shaped galley with premium appliances and substantial counter space simplifies provisioning and meal preparation, whilst the modern interior maintains the uncluttered aesthetic that defines contemporary cruising yachts. Four double cabins with ensuite heads provide privacy and comfort; each cabin features generous headroom, large portlights, and efficient ventilation systems.
On deck, a capacious cockpit with large dining table and ample seating anchors social life, whilst the bimini canopy shields against Mediterranean intensity. Dual helm stations offer superior sightlines and intuitive control. The foredeck trampolines invite relaxation, and direct water access via swim platform and ladder facilitates snorkelling and swimming. Electric windlass, autopilot, and comprehensive navigation systems (VHF, GPS) ease passage planning and solo watch-keeping.

The Charter Experience
Chartering AQUILA from Portisco positions you to navigate Sardinia's protected anchorages, submerged granite formations, and pinewood-fringed coves on your own schedule. The catamaran's shallow draft and generous beam permit exploration of shallow bays inaccessible to deeper vessels, whilst the watermaker and inverter provide self-sufficiency for extended passages. Combine water sports (kayaks, paddleboards, and fishing kit available) with access to historic ports, renowned seafood harbours, and characterful fishing villages. This is independent sailing with the confidence that comes from a modern, well-equipped platform designed for the demands of Mediterranean cruising.
Suggested Itinerary
A seven-day circuit from Portisco typically includes the Maddalena archipelago, the granite formations around Palau, and the northern Costa Smeralda's quieter anchorages. Provisions and route planning should account for Mistral and Tramontane wind patterns. Charter terms require a skipper's licence for bareboat operation; alternatively, engage a professional skipper to occupy one forward cabin, with guests covering their meals.
