A Mediterranean Icon: The Classic Gozzo
At BluSalina, the boat is not just a vessel; it is a central part of the story. We welcome you aboard a classic Italian Gozzo, a boat whose silhouette is synonymous with the glamour and the timeless elegance of the Mediterranean “dolce vita.” With its rounded stern and stable hull, the Gozzo was designed for the specific rhythms of the Italian coast— graceful, and built for the pleasure of slow navigation.
The Heritage of Aprea Mare
Our boat carries the prestigious signature of Aprea Mare, the legendary Sorrento shipyard famous among boat-lovers for defining the modern Gozzo. This heritage is a reflection of Captain Antonello’s dedication. Every winter, the wood is treated, the steel is polished, and the hull is meticulously maintained to ensure that when you step on board, the experience feels brand new yet deeply authentic. The rich mahogany finishes and the cream-colored cushions are designed to look as beautiful in your photos as they feel beneath the Aeolian sun.
Designed for Your Comfort
While the aesthetics are vintage, the comfort is entirely modern. The boat’s layout is optimized for private groups, offering a balance of sun and shade:
- The Bow Sundeck: A wide, cushioned area perfect for those who want to feel the sea breeze and soak in the Mediterranean sun.
- The Convivial Stern: A shaded lounge area where you can relax, share an aperitif, and enjoy the “rhythm” of the journey without direct sun exposure.
- Onboard Amenities: To ensure your day is effortless, we provide fresh towels, snorkeling gear, a freshwater shower, and a high-quality sound system for your favorite music.
The Luxury of Stability
Unlike modern plastic speedboats that “bounce” over the waves, the Aprea Mare “slices” through them. Its weight and design provide a smooth, stable platform that is ideal for guests who may be sensitive to the sea, as well as families with children or elderly travelers. It is the perfect stage for a day of “depth, not distance.”
