About Luxury Crewed Sailing Yacht MAHINA 3
MAHINA 3 is a thoughtfully designed CNB Bordeaux sailing yacht that moves through Mediterranean waters with balance and grace. Built in 2018, she combines efficient sailing systems with refined accommodations, creating the foundation for a charter where comfort and seamless passage feel equally considered.
The three-cabin layout sleeps up to six guests across two double cabins and one twin, each providing the quiet retreat essential to longer voyages. Captain Damien Quichaud brings two decades of professional sailing experience, complemented by Chef Audrey Laniel, whose background spans regatta sailing and fine-dining service. This pairing ensures both the route and the meals feel personally curated rather than formulaic.
What distinguishes a week aboard MAHINA 3 is the crew's commitment to translating your preferences into lived experience. Whether you gravitate towards water-based exploration, island landings, culinary focus, or a fluid mixture of all three, the itinerary shapes itself around your rhythm rather than the reverse.

The Charter Experience
Sardinia's northern coast unfolds at the pace you choose. Days might pivot between moored swims in turquoise anchorages and explorations of Porto Cervo's understated elegance, or stretch into longer passages between Corsica and the Maddalena archipelago. On deck, the sailing itself becomes part of the journey—not merely transport. Ashore, Captain Damien's local knowledge surfaces in lesser-known harbours and lunch spots that feel discovered rather than packaged. Below deck, Audrey's meals anchor each day with the kind of attentiveness that transforms ordinary moments into what guests often describe as highlights of their charter. The Mediterranean's most coveted cruising grounds—Corsica, the French Riviera, and the Italian Riviera—remain equally accessible, offering the freedom to return to MAHINA 3 season after season and explore new waters.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical seven-day charter departs Olbia and moves through crystalline bays where afternoon swims punctuate unhurried passages. Days alternate between scenic cruising along dramatic shorelines and languid mooring in protected anchorages. Possible ports include Portisco's sheltered waters, Porto Cervo's refined harbour, and the wild, island-dotted Maddalena National Park. Each evening settles around Audrey's kitchen, where the day's movements and discoveries naturally flow into conversation. The rhythm feels personal because it is.
