Grand Soleil 46: Premium 14m Sailboat Charter in Genoa

Discover the Grand Soleil 46, a legendary 14.08m racer-cruiser sailboat by Del Pardo, now available for charter in Genoa. This vessel was retrofitted in 2022, ensuring modern comfort and reliability while preserving its classic high-performance DNA designed by Botin Carkeek.

With a length of 46 feet (14m), a beam of 4.31m, and a draft of 2.55m, this nimble yacht offers exceptional stability and speed on the Mediterranean waters.

Delfina is a 46-foot vessel, designed by A. Jezequel, built in 1991 by Cantieri del Pardo and refitted in 2022. We present our trips under the name "sailing Delfina": we offer cruises in the Ligurian Sea and the Northern Tyrrhenian Sea, reaching destinations such as Porto Venere, the French Riviera, Corsica, and the island of Elba. A two-day cruise can take us to nearby destinations, such as the Portofino promontory, while a multi-day cruise can take us to the Cinque Terre and Porto Venere, or to Savona and Capo Noli, and beyond, depending on your time availability. Although Delfina is certified as a Class A vessel with a crew of 10 on board, since we prefer to travel more comfortably, we accommodate a maximum of four guests, in addition to the two of us who live on board. We have reserved the two aft cabins for guests, one with a double bed and one with a bunk bed, each with its own bathroom (equipped with an electric toilet and hot/cold shower). We occupy the forward cabin, with its own bathroom and toilet. We have a large dinette where you can enjoy meals or relax and chat while moored or at anchor. Our ideal guests are those who love being at sea, whether for a nice ride with the right wind conditions, or to be gently carried away when the sea offers it. We enjoy traveling at sea, respecting the rhythms the sea dictates, and we will propose a plan suited to the weather conditions and the days you have available, coordinating our cruise destination and travel arrangements. We're moored in the heart of Genoa's historic center, so Delfina is a great base for those who want to explore Genoa. The Aquarium is 150 meters away, and the entire historic center is within easy walking distance. If you prefer, you can sleep on board the boat the night before your arrival (for an additional fee).
