MIMAY

MIMAY — Schooner, Italy MIMAY is the pilot project of Alkadia, and she wears that ambition quietly. Acquired in 2022, the schooner was entirely reconceived and then rebuilt from the keel up over three years, using traditional Italian shipbuilding methods — the kind of work that leaves its trace in the grain of the timber rather than in a brochure. The refit was completed in 2023. Every part of the yacht was renewed with one deliberate exception: the engine remains a classic diesel, held in place while Alkadia develops and patents, in partnership with a university, an entirely green propulsion system of its own design. The result is a vintage vessel with one foot in the past and one in what comes next. Accommodation is arranged in three cabins for six guests, all three designated VIP — an unusually level configuration, with no hierarchy of who sleeps where. Detailed bed layouts are available on request. Her cruising ground is Italy, where a schooner of this character makes particular sense: coastal passages under sail, anchorages reached without haste, and a hull that draws attention in harbour for the right reasons. A professional crew looks after the yacht and her guests throughout, with itineraries and service shaped around each charter.
