For travelers who believe that a true ocean voyage is measured by the depth of the experience rather than the speed of the transit, UKIEL offers a masterclass in long range maritime luxury.

A remarkable 26.00 metre steel explorer superyacht launched in 2022, UKIEL stands proudly as a rare monument of robust northern European inspired engineering from Aegean Yachts. Built with a heavy displacement steel hull and lightweight aluminum superstructure, she represents the custom Explorer M26 series, a fleet celebrated for eco conscious performance, long range autonomy, and massive interior volume. At 26 metres, she breaks all traditional size limitations, leveraging a massive 6.90 metre beam to deliver a layout that comfortably hosts an astonishing number of guests. Her sturdy hull provides incredible ocean going stability, giving you the perfect platform to explore the glamorous coastlines and remote anchorages of Italy and the South of France with absolute peace of mind.

Life aboard UKIEL is defined by unparalleled accommodation flexibility and immersive family fun. In a structural feat entirely unique for the 26m category, the yacht accommodates an unprecedented 12 guests across 6 palatial en suite staterooms, headlined by three individual full beam master suites spread across two distinct decks. The ultra private upper deck master stateroom enjoys direct access to a completely secluded aft terrace with dedicated sun loungers, while the remaining layout includes a grand VIP stateroom and two highly convertible double cabins. Outside, the adventure continues with an oversized water toy collection featuring a custom water slide, a jet ski, and a brand new 9 metre XO DFNDR 8 high speed chase boat for dry, swift coastal exploration. Guided by an expert professional crew of 4 delivering five star service, and powered by highly efficient, solar assisted twin MAN engines that achieve a massive 3,500 nautical mile range at an eco friendly 8 knot cruising speed, UKIEL ensures your journey through the French Riviera is smooth, quiet, and deeply sustainable.

UKIEL turns a week at sea into something deeply personal. Whether the occasion is a multi generational family holiday, a private corporate escape, a large group celebration, or an extended Mediterranean exploration voyage, she offers absolute privacy, total flexibility, and a genuine home on the water.
