How to Choose 20m, 30m or 40m Charters

Marina berth length restrictions, draft limits and tender-handling logistics dictate much of what a Mediterranean charter can achieve: many ports levy higher daily mooring fees for vessels above 24 m, the Cannes islands prohibit transit between certain islets for yachts over 24 m, and narrow coves often require a tender or shallow-draft approach for safe access.

Arkup Joins The Ark Companies; Villa 50 by Lyman‑Morse

Miami’s classification of the Arkup as a “floating structure” — and the subsequent $120,000 property tax dispute won in court by Jonathan Brown of Macknight International — triggered a spike in orders and reshaped regulatory clarity that now underpins the commercial rollout of Arkup’s livable yachts.
