Want a 'Floatel'? - The AQUIVA is at your service

Select Language Chinese Arabic French German Italian Japanese Korean Portuguese Russian Spanish English

A luxury yacht out for charter, with a couple of bell-boys at your beck and call isn't really a 'Floatel'! That is probably the biggest misconception in the yachting industry where many such 'floatels' are marketed and people 'check-in' to them.


A 'real' floatel is actually just as the word depicts - a floating hotel. And on those lines, there are very few floatels in the world who can live up to their name.

Introducing AQUIVA - a product that combines the world of luxury hotel travel together with the unique experience of an elite super-yacht.

NO COMPROMISE

Unlike the experience land-based hotels offer, the floatels benefit in a significant way from being purpose built, enabling design and space planning to be optimised, whilst ensuring efficient operational management and maintenance.


The result is an exclusive, no-compromise guest experience.

THE CONCEPT

Built for purpose as luxury hotels, Aquiva floatels offer the highest standards of accommodation and service. The yachts benefit in a significant way from being new build, enabling large airy rooms and public spaces to be created, whilst ensuring efficient operation and low-maintenance requirements.


The external styling is of a strikingly modern, yet timeless design, quite unlike utilitarian cruise liners. This quality of design is complemented by high specification materials and finishes, such as teak decks and stainless steel external fittings, with substantial use of hardwoods, leather and stone within.

The focus is to permanently locate Aquiva floatels in top international locations world-wide. Each yacht will be specifically designed to suit the location and whilst the design ethos will be consistent, each yacht will be individually styled to suit the location.

CANARY WHARF

One of the first such locations for this beauty of a boat is the prime Canary Wharf. As the foremost commercial centre in London, and arguably Europe, the location within the West India Docks is ideal for an Aquiva hotel. With the exciting backdrop of some of the world's most prominent contemporary architecture, the sculptural lines of the super-yacht provide a fitting new addition to the area.


Aquiva's management have received planning committee consent for a yacht adjacent to the Thames Quay building which provides expansive views in a open area of the docks.

GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES

Already, Aquiva's management are securing site options in prominent international cities around the world, to allow rapid international roll out.


This strategy ensures that cost benefits result from consecutive building of yachts and that the rate of building is optimized by having numerous sites pre-secured.
The super-yacht brand concept is truly unique, whilst the combination of super-luxury and deployment in only the world's most important cities will secure the brand's reputation for exclusivity.
