ARKUP showcases next-generation floating home, Arkup #1, during the Miami Yacht Show

MIAMI, Feb. 18, 2019 — The ARKUP founding team presented Arkup #1, its first 75-foot livable yacht, at the Miami Yacht Show Feb. 14-18.

Fully solar-electric, mobile and self-elevating, ARKUP livable yachts combine high-end design with cutting-edge technology to deliver a unique and luxurious product to a market hungry for innovation.

“We are proud to unveil the first of our next-generation floating homes,” says Nicolas Derouin, CEO and co-founder of ARKUP. “Showcasing it during the Miami Yacht show will be a turning point for our company to get first-hand feedback from demanding clients and professionals.”

Arkup #1 is the first model of a revolutionary floating home that addresses key challenges in urban planning and coastal living for future generations. Its hydraulic pilings allow it to put down a steady foundation in up to 25 feet and to raise the house above the waterline, making it as stable as a home on land.

ARKUP #1 LIVABLE YACHT IS NOW FOR SALE — $5,500,000

“Many high net worth individuals have already expressed their interest in being the first to own and enjoy our livable yacht. We are thrilled to organize private showings for potential buyers on Star Island, Miami Beach,” said Arnaud Luguet, chief technology officer and co-founder of ARKUP.

The “ready-to-move-in” vessel is furnished and decorated in style by the acclaimed Brazilian company Artefacto. The livable yacht will be docked on Star Island during the coming months and will be available for rental in the Miami Bay area, so that anyone can now experience the ARKUP livable yacht.

Charter services will be available beginning March 2019 and bookings can be made with House Yacht Living LLC, the exclusive broker of Arkup #1 for charters and sales.
