  Aquila 44 3rd Charter Boat for Arundell Family Wendy and Tony Arundell were all smiles as they stepped onboard their new Aquila 44 power catamaran “Champagne Sunset” in the first week of 2018 with their growing family, setting the tone of exciting year ahead on the water. After falling in love with the Aquila 44 at the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show in 2017, they placed an order on the spot and immediately set plans in motion to enter her into a bareboat charter operation with Cumberland Charter Yachts. “We didn’t actually come to the boat show to buy the Aquila,” Tony said of their trip to Sanctuary Cove visit last year, “In fact we only came onboard to rule it out from our short list, but the minute we saw it, we fell in love and the rest is history”. Cumberland Charter Yachts…
