The yacht "Aquijo", built by Vitters and Oceanco in 2016, is also in YCO's portfolio and is heading for similar long-haul destinations as "Sea Eagle".

At 86 metres, "Aquijo" is five metres longer and, at 14.5 metres, slightly wider than the Seeadler. The interior volume of "Aquijo" totals 1,538 gross tonnes, while high ceilings ensure an airy feeling of space.

The motto of "Aquijo"

Motto: Comfort like on a motor yacht, but with sail propulsion. With her 90 metre high main mast and corresponding sail area, the Dutchwoman achieves a solid 17 knots. For 505,000 euros a week, 17 crew members are available for twelve guests. If they are not so good on foot, that's no problem: a lift connects the decks.

Highlights on board

One of the highlights is the social hub at the stern of the main deck, with seating for 24 people around the mega dining area and a bar with a beer dispenser next to it. In total, there are no fewer than three bars on the four decks. The beach club with whirlpool is also unusual for a sailing yacht, and the inventory list also includes a jacuzzi on the flybridge and a private owner's terrace on the bridge deck. In the up to seven suites, life is very quiet if desired: no TVs or audio systems.

Uske was born just outside Volkswagen in 1970 and tested various small boats with sails through her boyfriend (now husband 😊) on a quarry pond. Her studies in Kiel took her to the Baltic Sea with boats of all kinds and eventually to a regatta from Hong Kong to Mauritius via the Academic Sailing Club. Her teacher training ended at the Burda School of Journalism in Munich instead of in the classroom and finally at Boote Exclusiv. After a long break and various stories about house building, she returned to Delius Klasing and has been filling the magazine with long stories about large ships ever since. A family-owned H-boat was quickly sold again as the mother realized that sailing with two small children was neither relaxing nor fun.
