The vessel

Andiamo

A three-deck motor yacht kept for one purpose: taking a small group somewhere beautiful and looking after them properly once they get there.

Twelve guests, three cabins, shade and sun on every deck, and a swim platform that turns any anchorage into the best part of the day.

How it works

No online checkout. A conversation, then a date.

Chartering a yacht should not feel like buying a plane ticket. Tell us what you have in mind and we will come back with a plan and a price.

Tell us the day

Your date, how many guests, and roughly what you want out of it. A rough idea is plenty — we will ask the rest.

We build your quote
