Tonga Time is a very special Aquila 44 specifically designed for private ownership!  This boat is US Import Duty Paid and in "turn key" condition!

Tonga Time is an exceptionally well equipped and meticulously maintained 2019 Aquila 44.  She was commissioned from the factory by a very discerning and experienced owner who incorporated numerous factory upgrades and custom touches.  She has always been lovingly maintained by the original owner and has never been chartered.  With her large master berth, en suite guest cabin and dedicated workshop / laundry room she is the ultimate cruising power catamaran for private ownership.  The incorporation of the factory "Premium Finish Package" and custom matte finish Olive Wood throughout the interior sets her apart as a very unique and especially tasteful example of the Aquila 44 owner’s version.

Several of her Upgrades and Highlights include:

• Yanmar 370hp 8LV-370 Diesel Engines - 395hrs - (Fantastic upgrade over the standard Volvo engines!)
• Interior Helm position (very rare and desirable!)
• Full Raymarine Electronics Package including 12" Chartplotters, Radar, AIS, Autopilot, Aft Camera, etc
• 1000ah LFP Lithium Hose Battery Bank
• Additional custom Fuel Tanks – 440 gallon total capacity!
• Electric Dinghy Davit 
• 9kW Fischer Panda Generator with sound enclosure (low hours)
• Spectra Newport 400 Watermaker
• 1200 watts Sunpower Solar Panels - 12 x 100W each
• Flybridge Magma Gas Grill and Sink
• And so much more!

Tonga Time is US Import Duty Paid!  With the tariffs currently in place, this US Duty Paid status represents a ~$400,000 value.  Her Duty Paid status allows US buyers to legally purchase the vessel and keep it in US waters indefinitely.  Beware - many other Aquila 44's being advertised in the US do not actually hold this status!

Overview:

Tonga Time was commissioned from the factory and built to the current owner’s custom design preferences.  She features the “Premium Finish Package” and is upgraded with bespoke matte Olive Wood cabinetry throughout.  Most notably, Tonga Time was built without the lower aft exterior dining table.  Instead, she features huge lazarettes in the aft cockpit that are suitable for water toys, fishing gear, spare jerry cans, etc.  This shorter stern allows for a more conventional electric dinghy davit system which is much easier to operate than the standard crane.  This redesign is also significantly lighter weight and results in the dinghy no longer jutting out past the stern of the boat.

Tonga Time also incorporates a custom hard top above the flybridge.  Designed by Atlantic Towers, it provides a location for the large solar array and better weather protection than the factory hard top.

Both the stern and hard top modifications result in a dramatically lighter boat than the standard factory specs. The total weight savings allows Tonga Time to sit approximately 5in higher on her waterline.  In combination with her upgraded Yanmar 370hp engines, she cruises considerably faster and more efficiently than a standard Aquila 44.

Accommodations:

Tonga Time has a 2-cabin layout featuring a full-beam master cabin and workshop / office / work out room.  The master includes ample storage and hanging lockers, a full size desk and hanging lockers, and a built in TV mounting area.  The master head is spacious and bright with a large walk-in shower.  A king bed with upgraded mattress ensures that you’ll always have a restful nights sleep.  The guest berth to port features a queen bed with en suite head that includes a dedicated vanity, porcelain sink, electric toilet, and large separate shower stall.  The starboard workshop is designed for ample tools storage or can be used as a dedicated office space with a fold down desk.  The attached laundry room features full sized washer and vented dryer, a sink, and easy access to the Spectra watermaker which was repositioned from its standard location in the engine compartment for ease of maintenance.  In the common areas, the open concept design offers a fantastic flow between exterior cockpit into the galley and salon.  The space features a large folding glass door and a swing up window opening up to a fold down bar and fixed bar stools making a wonderful entertaining area.  This open concept design combines with numerous overhead, side, and forward opening hatches to offer fantastic ventilation throughout the boat.
