Step aboard the AEGEAN Explorer M26, a 26-metre explorer-style yacht built by Aegean Yachts in 2022, designed for comfortable Mediterranean cruising, intelligent functionality, and relaxed onboard living. Combining a steel hull with an aluminium superstructure, UKIEL offers an impressive accommodation setup for up to 12 guests — a particularly strong advantage within the 26m category and an excellent fit for family charters, larger groups, and mixed-generation holidays in Italy and France.
The yacht features six well-appointed cabins, including three full master suites across two decks — a rare configuration in this size segment and one of UKIEL’s strongest differentiators. The upper deck master additionally benefits from a private aft terrace with sun loungers, creating a more secluded owner-style experience with uninterrupted sea views. The accommodation is completed by one VIP cabin and two twin convertible guest cabins, all with en-suite facilities and modern amenities, offering a practical and highly comfortable setup for extended Mediterranean charters.
A major highlight of the yacht is the brand-new 9m XO DFNDR 8 chase boat with twin 250 HP Mercury engines and a dedicated additional crew member. This significantly elevates the overall charter experience, allowing guests to enjoy stylish coastal exploration, smooth beach transfers, watersports support, lunch excursions ashore, and far greater flexibility throughout the itinerary. Combined with an extensive water toy selection, UKIEL offers a highly dynamic and guest-friendly setup for enjoying Sardinia, Corsica, the French Riviera, and the wider Western Mediterranean.
Powered by twin MAN engines, UKIEL cruises comfortably while offering fuel-efficient performance, excellent stability, and long-range cruising capability. Her solar-assisted systems and explorer-style platform make her particularly well suited for relaxed itineraries and extended time on the water.
The onboard experience is completed by a professional crew of five delivering attentive, warm, and highly personalized service throughout the charter. Hospitality and dining are an important part of the experience onboard, with a strong culinary focus and menus tailored around guest preferences, cruising style, and the relaxed rhythm of Mediterranean life at sea.
