Family-Friendly Features

Accommodation

With five luxurious cabins, M/Y AMIKA is well-suited for families seeking both space and comfort. She accommodates up to 11 guests, including a spacious full-beam master suite that offers panoramic sea views and a serene retreat for parents. Four additional guest staterooms provide versatile sleeping arrangements, ensuring a comfortable stay for multi-generational families or groups of friends.

“The layout of AMIKA really works for families,” says Captain Jimmy. “There’s plenty of space for everyone to have their own privacy, but also great communal areas where guests can spend quality time together.”

Amenities

AMIKA’s open-plan interior creates a welcoming and social environment, with large windows flooding the space with natural light. The main salon seamlessly blends a lounge and dining area, making it perfect for relaxed meals or family movie nights. Meanwhile, the spacious decks provide plenty of room for sunbathing, dining, and enjoying the stunning Mediterranean surroundings.

“One of the best things about AMIKA is her versatility,” says Jimmy. “She’s built for adventure, but she’s also incredibly comfortable. Whether you want a high-energy trip filled with watersports or a laid-back escape, she delivers on all fronts.”

For active families, AMIKA is well-equipped with an enviable selection of water toys, including two powerful kawasaki jetskis, two e-foils, two sea bobs, one electric surf , an extensive selection of towables, water skis, a wakeboard, and fishing gear – ideal for days spent at anchor. Her dedicated beach club offers a seamless transition from yacht to sea, allowing guests to dive straight into the warm Mediterranean waters.

“We have something for everyone,” says Jimmy. “If the kids want to race around on the water skis while the adults relax on deck with a glass of wine, we can make it happen. And if the whole family wants to explore together, the chase tender is perfect for trips to hidden beaches and private picnics.”

Enjoy the Benefits of a Chase Boat

One of M/Y AMIKA’s standout features is her 8.66m Aluminium XO chase tender. Whether weaving through the hidden coves of the Aeolian Islands, or simply enjoying a high-speed adventure across the water, this powerful chase tender ensures guests can experience destinations beyond the reach of larger yachts.

“For families who love exploring, this tender is a game-changer,” says Jimmy. “It’s sturdy, fast, and can get you right up to those tiny, untouched beaches that are impossible to access by yacht.”

Beyond leisurely excursions, the chase tender also provides an extra layer of convenience, allowing guests to independently visit charming harbours, waterfront restaurants, or local markets while AMIKA remains anchored in a secluded bay.

Ready for a serious adventure

Designed as an explorer yacht, AMIKA is built for extended cruising, offering a 4,000-nautical-mile range at 11 knots. This impressive capability means guests can venture far beyond traditional charter routes, unlocking some of the Mediterranean’s most untouched destinations.

“With AMIKA’s range and capability, we’re not just sticking to the usual hotspots,” explains Captain Jimmy. “She’s built for going the extra mile—whether that’s reaching untouched islands off Sicily, or cruising through the remote, lesser-visited corners of the East Med. Guests who love the idea of a real adventure at sea will appreciate what she can do.”

With a cruising speed of 13 knots and a robust steel hull designed for stability, AMIKA offers a smooth and comfortable ride, even when navigating longer passages. Whether exploring vibrant coastlines or setting off on a more remote adventure, she is more than ready to take families on an unforgettable journey.
