Microplastics Project

Milanto and the Department of Biology of the University of Florence are working together on a microplastic scientific research project during our Art Odyssey tour. ⛵️

We will collect seawater and fish samples throughout the Mediterranean in order to identify the quantity of microplastics present in the different seas and species, but above all, trying to detect if the microbes that break down microplastics are present within the samples.🌊🐟

Here is the link to the interview with us and Professor Duccio Cavalieri of the University.

Launching Milanto Adventures!

After a productive time in the yard doing some deep cleaning, installing a new engine and renewing our sails with the brilliant team at Sail Design in Viareggio, we are ready to begin our next adventure, ‘Art Odyssey: Sailing Around The Ancient World’. Read all about it or get in touch for more information.

Winter Blues

Milanto is in the boatyard for the winter season having her usual polish and shine, including some much needed repairs after her circumnavigation.

But the BIG NEWS is that she is getting ready for her next adventure in the Mediterranean from April to August 2022. Join us!

Welcome Home!

We had an emotional arrival in Viareggio, Italy yesterday with a few boats escorting us from offshore, then a welcome horn salute from the surrounding super yachts berthed in the port and finally cheers and clapping from family and friends waiting for us on the dock holding homemade banners. Fortuitously, we also made our own banner to fly along with all the flags of the countries we visited on our circumnavigation. Having left Italy 20 months ago, needless to say it will take some time to get used to being home and on land for an extended period! In the meantime, thank you to all those who made this ‘adventure of a lifetime’ possible, as Milanto’s motto for this circumnavigation says, all you need is ‘Love, Hopes & Dreams’.
