Boat rental in Genoa · Del Pardo — Grand Soleil 46 (1991)
Description of Marialberto's sailboat
Sailboat - 14m — Del Pardo - Grand Soleil 46
Delfina is a 46feet Grand Soleil designed by A.Jezequel, built in 1991 by Cantieri del Pardo and fully refitted in 2022. Delfina is rated A class (oceanic) with as much as 10 people onboard, but we prefer more comfortable journeys and a closer crew, so we receive a maximum of 4 persons (in addition to the 2 of us living onboard). We live in the front Oceans Evasionin, with our own head, and our guests will be accommodated in the two rear Oceans Evasionins, one with a double bed and one with a bunk bed, with a dedicated head (with electric toilet and hot/cold shower) in common. The large dinette is available to everybody for the meals or simply to chat and relax when in the berth or at the anchor. Our ideal guests are those who enjoy staying at sea, a good ride if the wind conditions are appropriate, or strolling around with calm and relax if so dictated by the sea. In principle we offer cruises along the Ligurian & French coasts, and northern Tirreno. In a two day cruise we can reach the nearer destinations, for example around the promontory of Portofino, while longer trips will bring us to Porto Venere and La Spezia, or Savona and Capo Noli, or Elba and Corsica if there is enough time. We will propose you a travel plan suited to the duration of your stay with us, and will agree on the destination you most like. As we are moored at the hearth of Genova, Delfina is easily reached by car, train, or airplane. Those who intend to spend also some days in Genova will find Delfina ideally based: the Aquarium is just 150y from us, and the renown historical downtown is within walking distance. This might offer some extra bonus in your vacation. We live onboard Delfina since sometime now, and we will be pleased to have you on board!

Alberto and Laura are really really great host and we are really thankful to have met such 2 great persons. We are family with 2 children (10 & 13y.o) sailing for the 2nd time with click n boat, and experiencing our 1st experience in foreign language… and what an experience ! Truly great and I bless Laura and Alberto to be such great persons. Pedagogy, goodwill, patience, warm welcome, real kindness… Out of the boat that is in excellent condition and the competences of Albert that inspire trust and safety… the greatest thing is that you arrive as a stranger to the boat and you quit them at the end like friends/family member thanks to their genuine kindness !!!! Alexandre, Aurélie, Raphaël & Emma
All was very good , our first experience was perfect. Thanks to all the team.
Great hosts ! We had a great week with Alberto and Laura that did their best to welcome us and show us the Ligurian coast, I also appreciate a lot the possibility to take the steer with the technical support of Alberto ! We had fun and we definitely recommend the Delfina 😉
We were the first 'guests' of Alberto and Laura and as the voyage drew nearer we were able to benefit from professional guidance to prepare for this adventure in the best possible way! We travelled as a group of 4, 2 adults and 2 children (11 and 13), with little sailing experience. The programme had been agreed together, but the weather forced us to adapt it at the last minute (on the day of departure). Thanks to the kindness, experience and hospitality of our hosts, we spent 5 extraordinary days: delicious meals, interesting exchanges and discussions, moments of relaxation, explanations about sailing, etc. We have nothing to complain about, and we're leaving with lots of images and memories!

Sailing occasionally on charter boats since 20+ years, I am now a boat owner and definitely a sail-person. After a lifelong career in the aerospace & defence industry travelling the world for business, I now settled in my boat and enjoy the closeness to the sea and the sea-life. Sailing gives me that feeling of belonging, as you have to be in tune with the sea and the wind, and the occasional encounter with sea life completes the circle of existence. Delfina is just perfect for this: a solid built, classic hull, well suited to all the weather can throw at her, and yet her interiors are elegant and comfortable. I am retired, have four grandchildren, do not fish, and like scuba diving.
