The Mia 63 (or T-63) is a groundbreaking, semi-custom open motor yacht model from the Italian shipyard Franchini Yachts. It represents the builder’s return to the motor yacht segment, designed to combine the rugged seaworthiness and traditional quality of their sailing heritage with modern, high-performance Italian design. The Mia 63 is celebrated for its highly modular interior and innovative construction using nanotechnology-enhanced composites for a lighter, stiffer, and quieter hull.
The Mia 63 is a meter ( ) planing yacht featuring a GRP hull designed by Roberto Prever (NAOS) and exterior/interior styling by Massimo Franchini and Marco Veglia. The design philosophy centers on “liveable open space”, with the model offered in multiple configurations, including a T-Top (most common), Hard Top, or SportFly. Propulsion is delivered by efficient Volvo Penta IPS pod drives, positioned aft to maximize the internal volume for accommodations. A key feature is the spacious, un-stepped single-level teak deck that flows seamlessly from the cockpit to the bow lounge. Below deck, the layout is highly customizable, focusing on a generous Full-Beam Master Cabin amidships.
