Private yacht charter, Mediterranean
The sea keeps no schedule
Eleven crewed motor and sailing yachts, one long Mediterranean season, and an itinerary written entirely around you.
§ 01The house
Marée is not a brokerage. We own eleven yachts,
I.
Owner-operated
Never chartered from a broker's list. We know every hull's history because we keep it — from haul-out to the last coat of varnish.
II.
Crewed all year
Captains, chefs and stewards on permanent contracts. Most have been with the house for more than a decade.
III.
One charter at a time
No overlapping bookings, no back-to-back turnarounds. The yacht is yours from the first line cast off.
§ 02The fleet
Three of eleven,
drawn to scale.
Each hull is owner-operated and kept under our own captains year round — no brokerage listings, no last-minute substitutions.
Classic ketch
Alcyone
Teak on oak, refit in 2023 with every fitting re-cast in bronze. The one guests ask for twice.

00 — Lines plan
Built from a drawing, not a listing.
Ost began as twenty-one stations and six waterlines on a drafting table in La Spezia. We commissioned her; we still keep the drawings aboard.
01 — Beach club
The stern opens to the sea.
The transom folds down into a teak bathing platform; behind it, a garage for a 9 m chase tender, e-foils and dive kit.
02 — Four decks
Four decks, one quiet ship.
Six guest cabins on the lower deck, the saloon and dining on main, the wheelhouse above — and the sun deck, with its spa pool, above everything.
03 — Wheelhouse
A bridge you're welcome on.
Captain Luca Ferro keeps the wheelhouse open at dawn watch. Coffee, charts, and the best view of the anchorage you are about to leave.
04 — Under way
Twelve knots, no hurry.
A displacement hull that goes 5,200 nautical miles on one bunkering — far enough that the itinerary, not the fuel dock, decides where you anchor.

§ 04Waters
The season, charted.
We move the fleet with the sun — so wherever you board, the water is at its best that month.
-
Leg I · May – Jun
Ligurian coast
Portofino to Lerici — olive terraces, short hops and long lunches.
-
Leg II · Jun – Jul
Corsica & Sardinia
The Bonifacio strait and the granite anchorages of La Maddalena.
-
Leg III · Jul – Aug
Aeolian islands
Salina, Panarea, and Stromboli by night from a respectful distance.
-
Leg IV · Sep – Oct
Ionian Greece
Ithaca, Meganisi, and the empty, warm water of September.
§ 05A day aboard
06:00
First swim
The anchorage is still glass. The crew have the swim platform down before anyone wakes.
Weigh anchor
Twelve miles to the next island. Breakfast on the foredeck while the captain picks the wind.
Lunch at anchor
The chef is back from the market in Lipari. The water here is clear to fifteen metres.
The village
A harbour that only really exists if you arrive by sea. One bar, one church, one very good granita.
Sundowner
The aft deck is laid while the light goes. Nobody has looked at a phone since noon.
By night
Two miles off the Sciara del Fuoco, engines idling. The volcano does the rest.
