PRIVATE SAILING CHARTERS - FIRST 53 - SARDINIA. ITALY Miss Marie is a First 53 chartered out of the Costa Smeralda — built for luxurious comfort and performance sailing in equal measure. The perfect way to explore this corner of the Mediterranean Sea.

Miss Marie is owner-operated, which means something specific: we are not crew hired to sail someone else's boat, wer are the owners sailing our own boat. This changes what guests experience. Miss Marie is maintained impeccably because we care about our investment. Sailing decisions come from decades of experience, itineraries are planned to maximise the day, not follow a schedule. And because this is our passion, not a shift, how guests feel at the end of the cruise is the thing we actually care about most.
THE BOATMISS MARIE
An innovative hull, state of the art rigging,
and a genuinely luxurious interior.
The First 53 was designed to sail well and live well. Miss Marie is fitted with nearly every performance option available — deep-draft performance keel, carbon mast, full carbon sails, and a full teak deck. Below deck, she is just as considered: custom upholstery throughout and a galley outfitted for the discerning traveler, so the comfort matches the sailing. She has been designed for those who want the performance cruising with all the advantages of refined comfort.
YOUR CAPTAIN More than 150,000 nautical miles sailed
Matteo learned to sail in the waters of Sardinia, and after a 25-year professional career, has returned there with a boat of his own. Along the way he's logged over 150,000 nautical miles — from Turkey across the Mediterranean, numerous Atlantic crossings, years in the Caribbean from Los Roques to the Bahamas, and various seasons up the North American Atlantic coast through Maine and into Canada. That career culminated in 12 years as captain of a private 96' Southern Wind sailing yacht, and he brings that experience to every cruise aboard Miss Marie — close attention to his guests' safety, comfort, and enjoyment.

Our Ethos
We consider it a privilege to sail in this singular area of the Mediterranean, not an entitlement.
Every guest who comes aboard Miss Marie shares in this privilege — and in what it demands of us in return.
A good day at sea relies on respect: for the waters we sail, for the vessel that carries us, and for one another.
This is our ethos, and we hope it's the spirit every guest brings aboard and carries home.
