About Crewed Sailing Yacht TESS
TESS is a MAG FRANCE sloop offering timeless cruising comfort across Sardinia, Sicily, Malta, and beyond. Built in 1984, this 4-cabin sailing yacht combines traditional design with practical efficiency, powered by both sail and engine to navigate the Mediterranean's finest anchorages. The crew of three, led by Captain Paolo Stagno, ensures seamless service throughout your charter.

Above deck, a convertible dining area frames sunset meals over the water, whilst a generous bow sunbathing area invites leisurely afternoons. Below, the saloon, galley, and sociable spaces reflect understated Mediterranean living at its best.
The onboard selection includes a tender with outboard, sea scooter, sunbath mats, and sun awnings, supplemented by jellyfish net protection for safe bathing. Chef Giovanni crafts authentic local cuisine tailored to your preferences, whilst the crew manages all operational elements so you need only relax and explore.

The Charter Experience
Charter TESS from Sardinia or the Maltese Islands and discover the Amalfi Coast, Corsica, French Riviera, Gulf of Naples, and Sicily at an unhurried pace. Each anchorage reveals hidden coves, archaeological treasures, and coastal villages accessible only by water. Days divide naturally between under-sail exploration and leisurely swims; evenings settle into harbourside dining or quiet mooring beneath the stars. Whether circumnavigating the Aeolian Islands or threading the Tyrrhenian passages, TESS becomes your private gateway to the region's most coveted coastlines.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week might begin in Malta or Sicily, sailing north along Sicily's Tyrrhenian coast to embrace the Aeolian Islands (Stromboli, Lipari, Vulcano), then westward towards the Egadi Islands before concluding in Sardinia. Alternatively, depart Sardinia for Corsica and the French Riviera, exploring Bonifacio's limestone cliffs, the Lavezzi Islands, and the Côte d'Azur's exclusive anchorages. Your crew adapts the route to weather, your interests, and the season's finest conditions.
