Welcome aboard the yacht CIAO (formerly known as NILO), a remarkable motor yacht measuring 28.90 meters in length. Crafted by the meticulous artisans at the esteemed Dutch shipyard Moonen, this two-deck semi-displacement aluminium vessel has garnered numerous accolades. Since her initial launch in 2007, CIAO has undergone substantial refits in 2018/2019 and paint in 2021, ensuring her exceptional condition under the watchful eye of a detail-oriented owner and an attentive crew. This presents a remarkable opportunity to acquire a renowned vessel designed by the renowned Réné Van Der Velden.
With a beam of 6.8 meters and a draft of 1.8 meters, CIAO boasts the ability to berth in shallow ports and marinas, making her ideal for island hopping adventures. Her sleek exterior lines, constructed from lightweight alloy Sealium and recently repainted in a stylish oyster white hue, lend an elegant aura whether at rest or cruising the open seas. The inlaid teak decking further enhances her aesthetic appeal.
Notably, the yacht CIAO represents the inaugural model in Moonen’s Fast Series of Yachts (model Alu 94), customized for the shipyard’s owner with a focus on fuel economy, speed and comfort. Designed to venture beyond the Mediterranean, she can achieve impressive top speeds of 24.5 knots while maintaining a cruising speed of 18 knots, with a range of 2,500 nautical miles at 10 knots. In recognition of her ground-breaking design, M/Y CIAO received the esteemed “Trophée de l’innovation” for custom yachts under 40 meters at the 2007 World Yachts Trophies.
The interior of CIAO is a testament to exquisite craftsmanship, meticulously curated by Art-Line Interiors, an award-winning design studio based in the Netherlands. Warm silk-sprayed wood blends harmoniously with vibrant upholstery, creating an everlasting summer ambiance on board. Fine finishes, including cream marble, teak and holly flooring, and painted details throughout, contribute to the yacht’s luxurious atmosphere.
Accommodating up to eight guests in lavish comfort, M/Y CIAO features a full-beam Master suite, a VIP suite, and two twin guest staterooms. Additionally, she is equipped with an AB17 DLX RIB boasting a 115HP Yamaha outboard engine, an 11′ GT Marine crew tender powered by a 20HP Tohatsu outboard engine, and a Bauer Junior II diving compressor.
Step aboard yacht CIAO and embark on an extraordinary journey, where elegance, performance, and luxury converge to create an unparalleled yachting experience.
