Canados 888 Evolution "MAD DAY"

MAD DAY: Italian performance with space for Mediterranean living

MAD DAY is a 2018 Canados 888 Evolution motor yacht for sale in Cannes, combining a 27-metre length overall with four guest cabins and a maximum speed of 34 knots. She suits an owner seeking fast coastal passages, generous outdoor entertaining areas and accommodation flexible enough for family holidays or cruising with friends. Her asking price is €3,650,000, with VAT-paid status.

Her appeal extends beyond performance. Nine guests can sleep aboard, while her cruising capacity is 12 guests. A flybridge with a retractable bimini, separate forward lounging areas and an aft dining space provide several ways to enjoy time outside. She has remained privately owned, with low usage and careful maintenance forming part of her ownership history.

Design and exterior aboard MAD DAY

MAD DAY combines a streamlined motor-yacht profile with outdoor spaces distributed across the bow, aft deck and flybridge. Her beam is 6.40 metres and her draft is 2.40 metres. Teak side decks connect the exterior areas, while the teak bathing platform provides a waterside setting for swimming and tender access.

The flybridge brings together an outdoor helm, lounge seating and a covered dining area. Its retractable bimini allows the degree of shade to change with the weather and the occasion. This creates an upper deck suited to both relaxed afternoons and meals outdoors, rather than a space devoted solely to sunbathing.

Forward, seating and sunpads offer an alternative to the aft cockpit. At the stern, the outdoor dining area faces the sea and sits close to the main saloon, making these two spaces complementary settings for entertaining. Storage for both a tender and a full-size jet ski is another practical feature for an owner who values time on the water.

Accommodation and interior aboard MAD DAY

Her four-cabin arrangement comprises one master cabin, one double guest cabin and two twin cabins. One twin includes a Pullman berth, bringing the total to nine sleeping places. The distinction between overnight accommodation and cruising capacity matters: she sleeps nine, rather than the 12 guests she can carry while cruising.

The master cabin includes a sitting area and an adjoining bathroom with a shower. The double and twin accommodation provides a useful mixture of bed arrangements for couples, children and friends. Guest bathrooms include washbasins and enclosed showers, supporting comfortable stays beyond a single night aboard.

The main saloon opens towards the aft deck, giving the principal lounge a close connection with outdoor life. A separate interior dining area provides an alternative to meals on the cockpit or flybridge. An equipped galley and enclosed wheelhouse complete the principal working and social spaces. No refit date is specified, so the 2018 build year should not be confused with a later refurbishment.

Performance and engineering of MAD DAY

Twin CAT C32 engines, rated at 1,900 hp each, power MAD DAY. Her cruising speed is 22 knots and her maximum speed is 34 knots. A range of 320 nautical miles makes coastal cruising a natural focus, although no speed or operating conditions are specified for that range figure. It should not be interpreted as a guaranteed distance at maximum speed.

Her construction combines a fibreglass hull with Aramat and Kevlar reinforcement. She has a gyroscopic stabiliser, an important part of her comfort equipment. Two Kohler generators, each rated at 28 kW, provide onboard electrical generation; these are separate from the propulsion machinery.

Fuel capacity is 8,500 litres and freshwater capacity is 2,000 litres. Her gross tonnage is 80 GT. Engine hours and a verified hourly fuel-consumption figure are not specified, so neither should be assumed from her low-usage history. Machinery records and a sea trial are the appropriate next steps for assessing performance and operating condition.

Equipment, tender and toys aboard MAD DAY

Her equipment and water-sports inventory includes:

• Williams 385 tender.
• One jet ski.
• Two paddleboards.
• Storage for a tender and a full-size jet ski.
• Gyroscopic stabiliser.
• Two Kohler 28 kW generators.
• Retractable flybridge bimini.
• Exterior flybridge helm.
• Teak bathing platform and side decks.

The tender, jet ski and paddleboards give guests different ways to enjoy an anchorage, from shore transfers to active time afloat. Their condition and inclusion in the final sale inventory should be confirmed during purchase discussions.

Ownership and running of MAD DAY

MAD DAY is located in Cannes and flies the Maltese flag. Her combination of outdoor dining, swimming access and fast cruising lends itself to private Mediterranean use. Her purchase proposition rests on tangible features: four cabins, nine berths, twin CAT propulsion, stabilisation and an included tender-and-toy inventory.

She is registered under 24 metres despite her 27-metre overall length. Those measurements describe different aspects of the yacht; the shorter registered figure does not replace her overall dimensions when considering a berth. Registration documents and any operational implications should be checked for the intended use and cruising area.

A crew complement and annual running budget are not specified. Prospective owners should establish a staffing plan and review maintenance, berthing, insurance and machinery costs before committing. VAT-paid status is stated, with supporting documentation to be examined during the transaction.
