Elevator Summary

Welcome aboard this majestic 78' sailing yacht, a vessel of both performance and distinction. Built in 1986 and revitalized through a significant refit in 2012/2020, she elegantly combines classic charm with modern luxury. Offering a 9 knots cruising speed and hosting up to 8 guests in 4 beautifully appointed cabins, this yacht is famously recognized for its exceptional sailing experience in the West Mediterranean regions including Naples, Sicily, the Riviera, and Greece.

Accommodation

The yacht offers splendid accommodation for 8 guests across 4 versatile cabins, optimized for family or group charters. The layout includes:

  • A forward double-bedded master cabin with a private bathroom.
  • Two twin cabins, each equipped with both lower and upper beds and their own bathrooms.
  • A potential fourth cabin is available in the yacht's stern area near the crew's quarters, featuring a French-sized bed suitable for younger guests or additional company, also with a private bathroom.
The saloon area is bright, tastefully refurbished offering a comfortable living space, with a separate galley. The crew quarters provide separate access, ensuring full privacy for guests at all times.

Toys and Amenities

This yacht is purely designed for true sailors and enthusiasts looking to brave the Mediterranean seas via a classic sailing experience; therefore, she does not feature jet skis or inflatable toys traditionally found on motor yachts. Her expansive teak deck, completely rebuilt in 2012, is ideal for soaking up the sun, relaxation, and enjoying uninterrupted views of the open sea.

Crew

The professional crew of 3 is led by Captain Diego Ruggiero, a seasoned sailor with comprehensive experience in managing sailing yachts across the Mediterranean. Fluent in Italian and English, Captain Diego has a remarkable ability to create personalized experiences that beckon guests to return. The chef-steward aboard combines expertise in high-quality fresh cuisine with superior service standards to elevate each dining experience aboard. Finally, the deckhand/steward is on hand to ensure all operations run smoothly and efficiently.
