Aluminium expedition sailing boat
Mirabo
Mirabo is a 50-foot aluminium expedition sailing boat built for ocean passages, shallow anchorages and life beyond the usual routes. She carries a practical, seaworthy spirit: strong enough for open water, agile enough for islands, lagoons and remote coastlines.
Made For Reach
Her lifting keels and rudders allow her to move between the depth of the open sea and the shallow waters of remote islands and hidden anchorages. This makes Mirabo especially suited to routes where the real beauty begins after leaving the standard itinerary behind.
Aboard Mirabo, guests become part of the rhythm of the passage: sailing, keeping watch, sharing meals, exploring ashore and waking in places best reached from the sea.
Life Aboard
The interior is simple, warm and practical, organised for long-distance voyaging rather than marina life. Cabins, saloon, galley and deck spaces are designed to support a small crew living close to the weather, the boat and each other.
Mirabo is not a floating hotel. She is a real expedition boat, created for people who want the honesty of sailing and the freedom of arriving by water.

Aluminium expedition sailing boat
Arctos
Arctos is a spacious 56-foot aluminium expedition sailing boat made for demanding voyages in both warm and cold climates. Strong, autonomous and generous inside, she opens the way to northern passages, offshore routes and longer life aboard.
Strength And Autonomy
Built by Alubat to a Philippe Briand design, Arctos combines the resilience of aluminium construction with the flexibility of a centreboard hull. She is well suited to long passages, changing weather and routes where self-sufficiency matters.
Her protected spaces and generous systems make her a capable platform for remote coastlines, islands, fjords and open-water passages.
Space For Longer Voyages
Arctos offers more volume and comfort for extended expeditions, with room for guests to live, rest and take part in the voyage without losing the direct feeling of a real sailing boat.
She was created for people drawn to stronger horizons: Arctic islands, Atlantic passages, rugged archipelagos and coastlines shaped by wind, ice and time.
