Mallorca keeps stealing our hearts. After exploring the dreamy anchorages near Santanyí ; Cala Llombards, Caló des Moro, Cala Mondragó and a stop in picture-perfect Porto Petro – we dropped anchor and found not just turquoise waters but met many good friends too. Saturday night turned into an unforgettable ABBA-themed birthday party, complete with dancing under the stars and plenty of cava . And of course, the food ashore has been just as amazing – fresh seafood, Paella, tapas, and those...

Bluewater Sailing – A Little Guide 1. You’ll never be fully prepared – and that’s okay. Perfectionists never leave the dock. Something will always be missing. Most of it you’ll replace, improvise, or forget you even wanted. 2. Salt and sun destroy everything. Metal, plastic, fabric, sails, skin, nerves – nothing survives long. Even stainless steel rusts. Just more slowly. 3. Bureaucracy is part of the journey. New island, new rules, new stamps. Same grumpy (sometimes kind)...

Ready to drop anchor in some of the Med’s most legendary waters? Here are 6 tips for sailing crews+ my personal favs (and fails) from this season’s Sardinia & Corsica loop: 1. Don’t get trapped in Porto Cervo – Overrated & overpriced. Unless you’re docking next to a superyacht for the ‘gram, move on. 2. Skip Bonifacio at mid-day – Gorgeous, yes, but painfully crowded. Hit it at sunrise or off-season. 3. Under-the-radar gem? Cala Gonone (Sardinia) – Perfect base to dinghy...

From the white limestone cliffs of Corsica to the turquoise gems of Sardinia—every mile is a postcard. Entering Bonifacio for the fourth time, and it still takes our breath away. In the quiet of the pre-season, its beauty feels even more profound—like seeing an old friend with new eyes. Grateful for this moment, this place, this journey!

North Corsica is serving serious beauty (and serious seafood). Anchors down, forks up! Discover unforgettable highlights: pristine beaches, laid-back island lifestyle, rich Mediterranean flavors, vibrant local atmosphere, and the freedom to explore hidden coves only reachable by sea. We sailed from Elba to Corsica in a day—only in Europe can you change countries, cuisines, and coastlines this effortlessly. From Elba’s espresso to Corsica’s lobster, we crossed borders under full...

Coming back to Elba after two years sailing in the Caribbean feels like coming home to a piece of my soul. I spent my childhood summers here—barefoot on these shores, heart full of wonder. Now, after many nautical miles and countries visited, the emotions hit deeper than the waves. Elba, you never left me. This is a gentle reminder to slow down and reconnect with what really matters. It’s all over your For You Page: Walking barefoot in the grass, sunlight dancing through trees, salty air,...

A new sailing season has arrived, and we’re back where we feel most alive—aboard our sailboat Ambra, moored in the sun-kissed Marina di Scarlino, Tuscany. The return is overwhelming in the best way. This isn’t just travel. It’s a reconnection—with the sea, with ourselves, and with a life that feels free and wide open. Living on Ambra reminds us of what really matters. It’s not the things we left behind in our house in Germany, but the essential tools we need to live simply and...
