The boat and the crew to make a difference

Behind the scenes of comfort

In a luxury experience, every detail counts. But there are two elements that turn a simple boat trip into an indelible memory: the ship that welcomes you and the person who drives it. Let's discover together the beating heart of the Blue Yachts experience in the La Maddalena Archipelago.

When it comes to luxury yacht charter in La Maddalena, it is easy to be enchanted by pictures of turquoise waters and hidden coves. But the real secret of a perfect day lies in what cannot be seen at first sightthe quality of the boat and the professionalism of the crew. These are the elements that separate a “beautiful” experience from an “extraordinary” one.

Why Princess J III is the Ideal Choice for La Maddalena

  • Space and liveability: At 13 metres long, it offers ample outdoor space for relaxing in the sun or dining in the shade. No sense of claustrophobia, but the feeling of being on a small floating villa.
  • Stability and security: Even in mistral or light swell, the Princess' hull ensures smooth and comfortable sailing, allowing all guests to enjoy the voyage without worry.
  • Attention to detail: From the fine cushions to the teak upholstery, every corner of the boat exudes elegance. It is not a means of transport, but an environment designed for your well-being.
  • Fun accessories: On board you will find everything you need to turn a stopover into a party: music, floats, quality snorkelling equipment and, on request, even a barbecue for barbecues in the roadstead.

💎 The exclusive touch: Unlike standard boats, the Princess J III is maintained to a very high standard. She is cleaned and prepared before every outing, with quality towels on board and a minibar always stocked to your liking. It is your own private piece of paradise by the sea.

👨‍✈️ The Skipper: more than a helmsman, a special guest

If the boat is the body of the experience, the skipper is its soul. On board Blue Yachts, the skipper is not just an employee who steers the boat: he is a sea professional, a storyteller, a trusted advisor and a discreet but ever-present travelling companion.

  • In-depth knowledge of local weather

  • Security as a top priority

Human talents

  • Knowledge of every cove and seabed

The Invaluable Value of Local Knowledge

What makes the skipper of Blue Yachts unique? His deep connection with the La Maddalena Archipelago. He doesn't just take you from point A to point B: he reveals the secrets of these islands. He will be able to show you the side of Cala Coticcio to photograph in the morning light, the small inlet at Spargi where the water is calmer even with a sirocco wind, or the exact spot where you can snorkel to see shoals of sea bream.

Our skipper was not only an expert helmsman, but a true ambassador for the Magdalena. He took us to places we would never have found on our own and told us the story of each island with an infectious passion. It was like having a local friend who opened the doors of his sea to us.

Discretion and Hospitality: The Art of Being Present Without Being Invasive

One of the aspects most appreciated by luxury customers is the skipper's ability to balance professionalism and confidentiality. He will be there when you need him: to advise you on the best destination, to prepare the aperitif, to take an unforgettable couple photo. But he will also know how to step aside, leaving you your privacy when you simply want to sit in silence and listen to the sea.

The Perfect Match: When Boat and Crew Merge

Magic happens when the Princess J III and its skipper work in perfect harmony. The boat provides the ideal frame, the skipper fills this frame with valuable content. That is what it means to experience this synergy:

  • Welcome on board: The skipper is waiting for you at the port of La Maddalena with the boat ready, cold drinks and drinks available. He welcomes you as guests in his home.
  • Smooth navigation: While you relax at the bow, he skilfully steers the boat, pointing out points of interest from time to time.
  • The Perfect Stops: In every cove, drop anchor in the ideal spot: neither too close to other swimmers, nor too far away, with the right bottom for safe bathing.
  • Personalised assistanceWhether it's setting a table for an aperitif or suggesting the best restaurant for the evening, the skipper is your personal concierge of the sea.

🌟 The Blue Yachts difference: We do not simply offer “a boat with a skipper”. We offer an experience down to the last detail, where the vessel and the man work in unison to give you a perfect day. It is the winning combination of a jewel of naval engineering and the warmth of Mediterranean hospitality.
