After changing hands in 2014, Aquila underwent a major rebuild at the Pendennis Shipyard in the UK where the owners drafted RWD to redesign the interior spaces and completely transform the style on board. Following an intensive 12-month project, Aquila re-emerged in 2016 looking as good as ever with several new features including a pool on the top deck, cinema room and reconfigured master suite ib the owner’s deck. Here she is seen at anchor outside Portofino, Italy.
