Milu'

Ten knots is her cruising speed, fifteen her top speed: modest figures that suit a displacement hull rather than one built to plane. Arcadia delivered Milu' in 2019, and at 26 metres she carries the yard's open, light-filled language rather than a conventional motoryacht's closed hull sides.

Build and provenance

She is an Arcadia 85, a fibreglass-hulled displacement motor yacht with an aluminium deck, drawn in the loft-style layout that is the architect Francesco Guida's signature for the yard: open rooms, large glazing and few walls between indoors and outdoors. She was delivered in 2019, and her engines show 1,515 hours, so she has cruised rather than sat idle.

Layout and accommodation

Four cabins sleep eight guests, with a crew of four in their own quarters to run her. The aft cockpit and lounge areas open the stern into a terrace over the water, with sofas, sun pads and a dining area running straight to the swimming platform, a layout that favours long lunches over formal dining below.

Performance and engineering

Two 730 hp MAN i6-730 engines give Milu' a 10-knot cruise and a 15-knot maximum, with stabilising fins to hold her steady at rest. She carries 6,000 litres of fuel and 1,700 litres of water, tankage built for a week aboard without a stop at the fuel dock, and two 20 kW generators keep the systems running at anchor.

On deck and at anchor

A watermaker backs up the water tank at anchor, adding to her self-sufficiency rather than depending on shore water alone.

Where she lies and how to see her

Milu' lies in Porto Rotondo, Italy. Boatcrowd arranges the viewing and is there with you to see her, and once you have made an offer we bring in survey and sea trial before handover.
