UILIA

Francesco Guida's interior architecture aboard UILIA transforms the conventional 28.5-meter layout through a series of flowing spatial transitions that blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. International Shipyard Ancona's 2019 delivery showcases this design approach across five guest cabins that accommodate ten guests within a thoughtfully proportioned 238-gross-ton volume. Guida's signature lies in his manipulation of sight lines and natural light flow, creating interiors that feel significantly larger than their actual footprint suggests. The yacht's 7.5-meter beam provides the canvas for these expanded perspectives, while twin Volvo Penta engines deliver a relaxed 12-knot cruising pace that matches the onboard atmosphere. Based between Monaco and Imperia, UILIA covers both Mediterranean coastlines with an 1100-nautical-mile range, supported by an extensive water sports collection including Seabobs, paddleboards, and towing equipment. ISA Yachts' naval architecture emphasizes sea-keeping over speed, with the 18-knot maximum serving more as insurance than intention, allowing guests to focus on the carefully orchestrated interior experience that unfolds room by room.
