01
unlimited autonomy
The M.9 is like a boat whose fuel tank fills itself throughout the day. The roof and the solar wings recharge the battery, whether you are sailing or stopped.
02
Environmentally friendly navigation
The M9's virtual anchor solves a major environmental problem

An innovative boat
Millikan Boats has not compromised on innovation. In addition to the solar wings, the latest generation of panels, the latest generation of engines, the M.9 also has an interface previously reserved for the automobile
A 100% French boat
The naval architecture firm that drew up the plans for the M.9 is Vincent Lebailly Yacht Design, a firm that has made a name for itself for the design of the Iguana, but also for autonomous and motorized floating houses. Based in Normandy, this firm is very innovative, and immediately became passionate about the M.9 project.
The shipyard is none other than the Chantier naval de la Passagère, a historic shipyard based in St Malo, and directed by Julien Reemers. Very innovative in its approach to construction, this shipyard knows how to build very marine boats.
As for the motorization, it is entrusted to one of the best manufacturers of electric motors in Europe. Totally maintenance-free, these motors offer a very high torque, and a very low power consumption, all without noise or vibration.
the virtual anchor
For several years now, coastal municipalities and public authorities have been making boaters aware of the need to protect the seabed. Anchors are now a real scourge for seaweeds, which are essential to the underwater ecosystem.
The M.9 is equipped with a very innovative virtual anchor feature, which, thanks to a precise GPS and computerized engine management, allows the boat to stay at a fixed position without having to drop the anchor. With a simple click, the yachtsman immobilizes his boat, which remains at its position thanks to small energy transfers to its rotating engines. The consumption is almost zero, the virtual anchor can be used for several hours, even several days.
The M.9 is thus respectful of its environment.
The m9 and its equipment
Le confort
La table s’abaisse, et des coussins viennent créer un très grand lit double, de 200*140, une dimension très rare dans cette taille de bateaux. La hauteur sous barrot est de près de 2m sur toute la surface de la cabine de pont, ce qui offre un confort incomparable pour les grands gabarits. La cuisine est accessible depuis cette cabine de pont, ce qui permet de cuisiner même par mauvais temps. La salle de bain et ses toilettes sont accessibles depuis la descente tribord.
un bateau familial
Une famille avec 2 ou 3 enfants dispose alors de plusieurs configurations possibles, avec 6 voire 7 couchages disponibles, la banquette tribord offrant un couchage supplémentaire.
Les enfants restent dans le périmètre sécurisé, les accès aux cabines de coque se faisant par un escalier confortable, depuis la cabine de pont.
La cuisine
Avec un frigo de 120 L, il est possible d’emporter ses réserves de nourriture fraiche pour plusieurs jours. La cuisine reçoit également une plancha électrique, alimentée par l’installation électrique, et un évier relié à un réservoir de 50 litres.
Le pont avant
Cet espace très marin permet aux passagers de bronzer en toute sécurité, tout en profitant d’une vue directe sur l’eau. Les méridiennes cachent un accès à deux grands coffres.

Le pont arrière
les cabines
Le M.9 est un weekender, offrant une cabine dans chaque coque, et une immense cabine de pont.
La coque bâbord reçoit une petite cabine double, avec un lit de 200*110, comparable aux lits présents dans les vans aménagés.
La coque tribord reçoit une cabine de même taille, avec des rangements, et une salle de bain équipée d’un lavabo, d’un WC et d’une douche. La hauteur sous barrot est de 1,7m dans ces cabines.
La cabine de pont est une véritable innovation à elle seule : Au port et au mouillage, les ailes sont rabattues, et viennent épouser les formes de la coque et du toit, en fermant les deux côtés du bateau. Des toiles enroulées et fixées au toit solaire se déroulent et viennent fermer l’avant et l’arrière du bateau, dévoilant alors une cabine de pont de près de 12m2 de surface.
Solar wings - Exclusive to Millikan Boat
The M.9 is equipped with two solar wings, which deploy as soon as it leaves the harbor. Activated by two simple and powerful marine cylinders, and retained by a tip and a cleat, the kinematics of the opening of the wings gives the impression of the flight of a bird, directly inspired by the cartoon "The Golden Cities".
When deployed, the wings provide 20% more energy to the boat, without affecting navigation or visibility.
When returning to port, the wings are simply folded down by pulling on the tip, guided by a hoist and held by the cleat. The maneuver is very similar to lowering a sail. For the port manoeuvre, the cleat combined with the force of the jacks, allows to leave one or the other wing half-open, in order to make pass the possible hang.
Electric motors
The M.9 is equipped with 2 motors of 15 kW each, producing a power comparable to a 50 HP motor
The M.9 is an innovative boat, as well by its ecological motorization as by its autonomy, but also by its unique functionalities: Thanks to a close collaboration with the engine manufacturer, the M.9 has electric pods which turn on themselves, and are retractable. The beaching becomes a child's play, and the maneuvers of port are very simple.
