The 40′ Baba Tashiba is a timeless classic designed for those seeking both adventure and comfort. This beautifully crafted sailboat combines traditional styling with modern amenities, offering an unforgettable charter experience for couples, families, or small groups.

Aquarius’ robust construction ensures a smooth, stable sail even in challenging conditions, making it an ideal choice for both seasoned sailors and first-timers. Its spacious deck provides ample room for sunbathing or relaxing while cruising, while the cozy, well-appointed interior offers a warm, welcoming space for unwinding after a day of exploration.

Aquarius comes equipped with a skipper for your charter, allowing you the freedom to actively participate in the sailing, or simply relax as you cruise through the San Juan Islands, Gulf Islands, or beyond.

The boat features two private cabins, for you and the skipper, plus a fully equipped galley, and a comfortable salon, all designed with attention to detail.

Onboard, you’ll find everything you need for a luxurious voyage—state-of-the-art navigation equipment, a powerful engine for when the wind dies down, and plenty of storage for your gear. Whether you’re looking to explore secluded coves, island hop, or simply enjoy a leisurely day on the water, Aquarius promises a truly exceptional sailing experience.
