Rex Aquila

LOWLAND launched Rex Aquila in 1988 as a 22-meter motor yacht purpose-built for extended coastal exploration and multi-week Mediterranean charters. Her moderate draft and robust construction suit her perfectly for threading between the Greek islands, anchoring in Corsican coves that larger yachts cannot reach, or navigating the intricate waterways of the French Riviera where intimate scale becomes an advantage rather than a limitation. The yacht's proportions reflect the practical priorities of her era—generous fuel capacity for long passages between ports, stable hull geometry for comfort in moderate seas, and deck spaces sized for both active cruising and quiet anchorages. Rex Aquila moves through varied Mediterranean conditions with the steady confidence that comes from proven engineering, making her equally suited to early season explorations of the Spanish Balearics or late autumn passages along the Italian coast. Three and a half decades after her launch, Rex Aquila continues to demonstrate the enduring appeal of thoughtfully proportioned motor yachts designed for genuine cruising rather than mere display. Her size allows access to smaller harbors and protected bays while providing the range and stability needed for serious coastal voyaging, creating opportunities for itineraries that balance discovery with comfort across some of Europe's most rewarding cruising grounds.
