Blue Water Cruiser!

The Bruce Roberts 43 is a very solid and capable Bluewater cruising yacht with a traditional long keel design and “old school” construction where when it comes to hull layup and thickness more is definitely better! 

Aquila has been owned by her current owners since 1991 and benefitted from a full refit in 2002-2004 including new interior woodwork and engine. She has been meticulously maintained and only used in the summer months, mostly as a floating home and then lifted out for winter storage. 

She was coated in Gelshield from new and despite her years looks fantastic and is very much looking forward to new adventures with her new owners.

Whether you are looking for a classy & comfortable Med cruiser or have plans to cross oceans Aquila is well worth viewing.
