Aquanova Superyacht
About Aquanova
Built by Palmer Johnson in 2007 and refitted in 2021, Aquanova is a 150ft (45m) superyacht that pairs classic pedigree with a refreshed interior and modern amenities. She offers 5 staterooms arranged as 1 King, 2 Queen and 2 Twin, welcoming 10 overnight guests or up to 12 for a day at sea, supported by a dedicated crew of 7.
Aboard Aquanova
The refit refreshed Aquanova’s living spaces without losing the character that defines a well-built superyacht. Generous deck areas invite long lunches and sunset gatherings, while the interior cabins provide a quiet retreat at the end of each day. Cruising at 18 knots, she covers ground efficiently between anchorages. Key features include a deck jacuzzi, a swim platform, and an on-board gym, and the crew sets the pace – whether guests want a packed day of activities or a slow morning with nowhere particular to be.
Activities & Water Toys
Aquanova carries 8 water toys including two wave runners, two Seabobs, water skis, a wakeboard, and a kayak – enough variety for groups with mixed interests. The 32ft Yamaha Tender and 14ft Williams Tender runs guests to beaches, dive sites, and shoreside restaurants throughout the day. Equipment is prepped and managed by the crew, keeping the experience effortless from start to finish.
Sailing Central America
Aquanova charters across Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico and Belize in the Central America, repositioning through the year to follow the best weather and destinations. The ideal window for chartering is Jan, Feb, Mar, Dec, when conditions align for an exceptional trip. A refitted superyacht offers updated interiors and modern systems at a compelling price point, with a captain who tailors each route to your group’s preferences and adapts to conditions as the voyage unfolds.
