About the M.10

The Millikan Boats M.10 is a 9.95-metre electro-solar cruising catamaran designed around usable living space and low-speed energy efficiency. Its 3.4-metre beam supports a full-width deck saloon, two cabins, up to six berths, a galley and a complete washroom. Deployable solar wings expand the generating area without permanently increasing the boat’s beam, while the flat deck and panoramic roof give the interior open sightlines. In 2026 Millikan announced a revised propulsion package using two lifting 40 kW electric outboards and 60 kWh of battery capacity, replacing earlier figures that may still appear in brochures and directory records. The lifting motors reduce draft for manoeuvring and shallow-water access. Millikan continues to publish a greater-than-100-NM range headline, but buyers should request the exact test speed, solar assumptions and reserve margin.

Best For

Low-speed coastal cruising with extended time away from marinas
Families or charter operators needing six berths and a flexible solar deck

Performance in Context

The builder publishes more than 100 NM of autonomy without a complete current speed-and-load test table. Range will depend strongly on speed, sun exposure, battery reserve, payload and hotel loads; request a route-specific energy model.

Battery and Charging

The latest official update specifies 60 kWh of battery capacity with twin 40 kW outboards. Earlier M.10 material describes ten 430 W roof panels plus flexible panels on the solar wings; confirm the current array and shore charger on the quoted boat.

Availability and Pricing

Millikan offers private sea trials and direct quotations. Because the propulsion package changed in 2026, ensure the contract distinguishes the current outboard version from earlier inboard specifications and lists batteries, solar equipment, accommodation and delivery.
