MINOU is a 26-metre superyacht launched in 2003 by Canados shipyard and extensively refitted in 2022, living up to the Italian shipyard’s reputation for beauty, design and speed. With sleek lines and a sporty profile, this is one charter superyacht who always stands out from the crowd.
DESTINATIONS
MINOU has her base port in Rome and she is available for charter year-round in Italy, a magnificent peninsula that stretches into the Mediterranean and boasts a wealth of nature, history and culture. Poetry is all around, from Sardinia with its enchanting beaches which can be reached by yacht or by motorboat, to Sicily with the Aeolian and Egadi islands; from the fabled Amalfi coast to the small isle of Ponza, a tiny gem of caves and clear water. Tuscany, of course with the isle of Elba, a must-see destination for anyone who enjoys peaceful cruising on a private yacht or catamaran. Then there’s Liguria and the Cinque Terre, with its pretty hill towns; Puglia, with its bewitchingly beautiful Tremiti islands and Salento coast; or Venice, with its splendid islands on the lagoon, perfect for discovering by boat. And Lake Maggiore and Lake Garda, for an atmospheric taste of Northern Italy from the comfort of MINOU.
ACCOMMODATION & DECK AREAS
MINOU´s interior layout can comfortably accommodate up to 10 guests overnight in 4 well-appointed staterooms, including a Master Suite, a Double stateroom and two Twin with Pullman berths. All staterooms are finished in light wood with a fresh, contemporary feel and feature ensuite facilities. Created by Salvagni Architetti, MINOU’s interior represents the very best of the Italian lifestyle at sea. A blend of warm wood and chic contemporary furnishings, the main living space is both elegant and comfortable. Designed for onboard socializing, the open-plan layout of the main salon enhances MINOU’s feeling of spaciousness. Divided into a lounge and dining area, glass doors and elegantly curved windows offer plenty of natural light.
MINOU has ample exterior areas to enjoy, whether for relaxing or socializing. The aft deck is adjacent to the salon and boasts a shaded alfresco dining area and access to the upper deck. Further aft, dual transom steps lead to the oversized extended swim platform, perfect for easily taking a dip in the sea, or creating your own teak beach. On the foredeck is a triple-sized raised sun pad. An upper sundeck is great for any occasion, offering an additional alfresco dining option, seating and partial shade.
