Yacht charter in Loano · Dufour — 41 (2023)
Description of Carlo's sailboat
Sailboat Dufour 41 12.75m
SPECIAL 2026: in July CORSICA and SARDEGNA; LIGURIA all other periods (see below for more info) Stelia is a recently built boat (end of 2023) and therefore incorporates all the innovations, both in its external line and in its interiors. It is a boat of approximately 13m, has spacious interiors also given by the exceptional width of 4.3m, with three cabins and three bathrooms, and a large dinette with sofa, table and kitchen. Outside, cushions throughout the cockpit area and a large table offer additional space to enjoy navigation and moments of relaxation. You won't find a TV on board because this is also a way to detach yourself from everyday worries, and remain in harmony with this new environment in the company of the sea... Although the boat can accommodate up to 6 people, we prefer to have a maximum of 4 on board, in order to guarantee you an optimal level of comfort and privacy. The starting base is the Marina di Loano (SV), a modern and safe Marina among the 10 most beautiful in the world, a few hundred meters from the historic center of Loano. We can leave from here for pleasant cruises, nearby, or, with more days available, towards the Ligurian east (e.g. Genoa, Camogli, Portofino, 5 Terre) or towards the west (Albenga, Alassio, Imperia, Nice, ...). The navigations will take into account your experience in similar trips (duration of the navigations, weather and sea conditions, ...) but also any technical knowledge in case you want to be at the helm (always a great emotion...) or even take part in the manoeuvres. The area of the Ligurian gulf is pleasant in all seasons, certainly the favorable weather makes the experience more pleasant, but I assure you that even the most sulky days offer unique colors and sensations... without forgetting that we are in the Cetacean Sanctuary, where encounters are not that rare. In addition to weekends in Liguria, we have planned these full weeks between Corsica and Sardinia: P1: from June 27 to July 4, from Liguria to Eastern Corsica, from north to south P2: from July 5 to July 11, Sardinia, La Maddalena Archipelago P3: from July 12 to July 18, Sardinia, La Maddalena Archipelago P4: from July 19 to July 26, Eastern Corsica, from south to north, to Liguria For additional information please send a message, and specify which period or periods (P1, P2, P3, P4) you are interested to. We pay particular attention to keeping the boat clean, efficient and safe, the same attention we have for the house, because it will be your home "on the sea". Furthermore, selected food and wines complete the picture. Also for these reasons we received 5 stars from all the guests who lived the Stelia experience in 2025... we are waiting for you! Our travel experiences are reserved for guests aged 40 and over or with positive reviews on Click&Boat for previous experiences. If you do not wish to rent the entire boat, contact me, we will try to evaluate possible accommodation and price solutions together.

Overall rating
My family and I spent a fantastic week aboard the Stelia in August. The boat is gorgeous: brand new, very comfortable, and superbly equipped. And what can I say about Carlo? He's an expert captain, with a keen eye for safety, and the ability to quickly adapt the trip to our needs; a pleasant, friendly, and kind host: it was truly a pleasure sharing our vacation with him, in the wonderful Ligurian setting that even gifted us with the sighting of a very rare sea turtle. Everything was truly perfect!!!
Wonderful new boat, Carlo kind, professional and helpful. A wonderful experience.
Wonderful weekend spent in the excellent company of the skipper Carlo, on an exceptional boat, both for comfort and navigability. We will definitely repeat this experience.
2 days spent relaxing and having fun, the changeable weather did not manage to affect Carlo's organization in the slightest, he always has more options to let his guests experience sailing and the sea in serenity and above all safety!
"Carlo is respectful, promotes proper coexistence, and is reliable and scrupulous in carrying out the tasks assigned, with particular attention to all safety specifications" Top!!
Weekend perfectly managed by Carlo, who allowed me to enjoy not only the emotions of sailing, but also the view of breathtaking panoramas at dawn and dusk, as well as a fantastic close-up sighting of dolphins!
Recommended, Carlo is a very knowledgeable and kind skipper, his boat is not only beautiful and well-kept, but also super equipped with regards to both the comfort and safety of the crew.

Vento, mare, sole stelle: una magica attrazione, un grande amore...sono Carlo, comandante di Stelia, da sempre incantato da tutto ciò che questo mondo di acqua e di vento trasmette. Un’attrazione ripagata prima in modo discontinuo per i mille impegni della vita, ma negli ultimi 4 anni penso di aver ritagliato il più possibile del mio tempo libero per salire su una barca, lago o mare che fosse. Ed è così che qualche viaggio mi ha portato sul Garda, Iseo, Sardegna, Elba, Toscana, Liguria, Costa Azzurra, …ed è così che a fine 2023, prendo la decisione di avere una mia barca, STELIA. Mi piace la sana compagnia, fatta di persone che amano e rispettano il mare e che cercano di trarne il massimo giovamento, anche spirituale, come occasione per rilassarsi, ricaricarsi e ritrovare una dimensione più terrena. Allo stesso tempo mi fa piacere condividere le mie conoscenze della navigazione, soddisfando la curiosità di chi vuole provare a mettersi al timone ed apprendere qualche aspetto pratico e teorico della barca a vela. Ed infine… sappiate che apprezzo il buon cibo e vi assicuro che la mia cantina non sarà mai sguarnita…
