The boat

Catamarano 46Ft - Modello Unico

cabins: 4
toilets: 4

length: 13,70m
year: 1997

The catamaran is a PROTOTYPE (ONLY EXEMPLARY!), Built in 1997 but still in perfect shape.

It has 4 comfortable cabins with private electric bathroom, a very large living room with a table and two sofas that can comfortably accommodate 8 people. A kitchen with 4 burners, oven, double sink with slide, a worktop of about 2 meters to comfortably manage the kitchen and three refrigerators.

In 2018 I equipped the 800 watt catamaran with solar panels, completely changed the two engines with relative inverters and feet, the boat is equipped with epirb, ais and personally I have the src (short range certificate) for the use of safety equipment (epirb and ais). The boat is equipped with 600 liters of water + desalinator, a 4 kw generator plus 800 watts of photovoltaic panels, a 3.30 meter tender with a 15 hp engine.

Reviews of Umberto

Our week aboard Mattia46 was beautiful. Umberto guided us with competence and sympathy to discover corners of the Dodecanese where we could do everything that was in our expectations: long swims, beautiful walks and delicious eats! Elisa spoiled us with a healthy and tasty cuisine, Nicholas tomatoes for us have become legend. The boat is very comfortable and is equipped with practically every comfort, we have experienced all the beauty of sailing without being forced into narrow spaces. The desalinator was then a real gem. All this was combined with extraordinary travel companions, with whom we immediately formed (and until the end) a compact and cheerful crew.

Beautiful holiday Umberto and Elisa put you at ease. Wonderful places and a total immersion in the unspoiled nature of the island of Asinara

perfect experience! catamaran with plenty of space: on deck and below deck with exclusive bathroom for each cabin! desalinator and photovoltaic are additional goodies that increase the comfort of the holiday. I felt welcomed and above all free to move in the spaces and to use the things made available; the buoy for the swims in the harbor was precious! Umberto proved to be extremely caring, solicitous, and finally also affectionate :-) Elisa always open and inclusive has contributed to the holiday climate. The galley formula already made with the possibility of expressing preferences and making requests was a winner: quality, goodness, zero banging. I will certainly sail with them again! An important thing: observe the meolo to stretch the balumina! :-D

Umberto experienced, caring and protective commander transmits security in all conditions, his wife Elisa attentive and available to our needs. The catamaran is in excellent condition, has a lot of control and safety equipment on board, availability of water and energy that allowed the nights at anchor. The cabins are large and comfortable, lots of space for luggage. With the 2 canoes we saw stretches of coast not accessible by motor. Much appreciated the galley already made, varied and abundant, together with the culinary skill of Elisa who has prepared tasty and healthy dishes: he skipper and she in the kitchen are winners. We were lucky enough to meet some fantastic companions and spent unforgettable days: not a screzio, lots of laughter. A clarification: precisely because responsible and precise Umberto can appear a little rough but only on rare and particular occasions, always shared by me, to return immediately available and friendly as he is. We will see you again, good wind. A&R

A dream holiday. First of all, a wonderful catamaran, equipped with every comfort and attention to detail by Umberto and Elisa. The itinerary chosen by Umberto was beautiful, and thanks to his excellent knowledge of the sea and the weather we were able to fully enjoy every moment, also thanks to a prompt reversal of stages according to weather conditions. Fabulous boat and sea have constituted the perfect ingredients for a wonderful holiday, Umberto and Elisa have thought of making it unforgettable. Not only did they delight us with superlative delicacies - breakfast, lunch and dinner! - but above all they have been able to create a beautiful atmosphere: with them you feel welcomed and pampered. And there is no more beautiful holiday!

The beauty of the sea at the foot of Asinara is indisputable but I recommend choosing this destination for lovers of tranquility, as the place is purely uninhabited and devoid of any type of refreshment. Elisa, Umberto's wife, is a very good cook and has delighted us with dishes that are always different and exquisite. Perhaps because of the generation gap or the different views, there were moments of embarrassment due to the assumption of the captain, who often made us feel uncomfortable, giving unjustified orders and not losing the opportunity to recover.

Great first time at sea by boat. The catamaran is comfortable and functional, comfortable cabins with bathroom and in general well equipped. The management of the itinerary was excellent considering the weather safety and the well-being of the passengers as a priority. The on-board kitchen is also excellent. The various training moments during the holiday are very appreciated. See you soon!

Maximum evaluation is the result of a week spent living the sea from the best point of view or staying in it. Umberto always ready to explain and demonstrate the activity on board and beyond, assisted by Elisa maga of the stove ready to prepare excellent and above all healthy dishes. At the end of the week the birth of a great friendship and the security of a memory that will not fade! Also noteworthy for the splendid catamaran with generous spaces. A wonderful experience and a big thank you for what has been transmitted. Thanks also to the travel friends for the wonderful company.

It was our first boat experience and it went beyond all our expectations. The catamaran is equipped with every comfort from the cabin, to the private bathroom for each cabin, to the common areas both inside and outside. Umberto (and his wife Elisa if you are lucky enough to have her on board) are the perfect skippers to enjoy the holiday, learn something about sailing, eat well and have fun. Point not to be underestimated, the catamaran is equipped with everything you need to be able to stay at sea for a week without ever docking in port ... and the nights at anchor are the most beautiful you can imagine from such a holiday! In the future we will definitely consider leaving with them to explore other areas of Italy and not only by catamaran!

Competent person, training experience

For those who love the sea, the catamaran experience is always beautiful because it allows you to live it in a much more intense way. Compared to my previous experiences always in catamaran, Umberto's is a beautiful boat designed with well-distributed spaces that make it comfortable. Umberto maintains with great precision and order the efficiency on board and in addition for the first time I took advantage of the kitchen service carried out by Elisa, a prestigious cook. But what surprised me not pleasantly is to find the galley already supplied by them without this having been clearly explained before or any preferences and / or personal needs had been requested. This, together with some episodes of extreme zeal and precision of Umberto, made me feel uncomfortable in some moments and not master of his own holiday.

It was a great experience, because as I have already lived on other occasions, being in contact with the sea, the sun and nature as you are when you go sailing on a catamaran, is a fantastic thing. The catamaran is beautiful and comfortable and Umberto manages it with great attention while Elisa takes care of the culinary well-being of the guests. However, the formula of the galley decided and managed by them, in addition to not being clearly indicated in the offer, does not allow much choice to guests who, also due to the sometimes not properly empathetic and malleable character of the captain and also the intrinsic limitations of a coexistence in limited spaces, can feel a bit like guests in the home of others. Good, but you can improve.

Umberto and his wife Elisa are a perfect combination on board, they are complementary and make the experience interesting, culturally rich and often fun. The catamaran was in very good condition and with a hammock in the bow to say the least enviable. Umberto loves to explain and share with the "crew" on duty his passion for sailing and the sea, also involving her in maneuvers. With Elisa also the eating was abundant but healthy, I came back full but without a gram more ... despite the fact that alcohol is never lacking on the boat! An experience really recommended to all those who are thinking of a boat holiday

Fun and at the same time formative experience, everything perfect. Thanks to Umberto and Elisa for the hospitality. I advise you to take a look at the next trips organized on the magical catamaran and take part in the sports association created by Umberto. Good wind!

Wonderful holiday! We decided to leave thanks to the positive reviews and we can only confirm them. Umberto is a prepared, precise skipper, who likes to sail safely and with a great desire to transmit his passion for sailing and the sea. The catamaran, is well maintained and very welcoming. Elisa, Umberto's wife, delighted us with healthy and tasty dishes. Sun, sea, relaxation and sailing with the extraordinary backdrop of southern Sardinia! Holiday absolutely recommended!

it was a really nice experience. We enjoyed lovely places, we had fun thanks to a sunny and dynamic group, we learned a lot about sailing and sea life thanks to Umberto, we ate delicious food and made with love thanks to Elisa. A must try!

very nice holiday comfortable catamaran and very professional staff we sailed to wonderful places of our beautiful Sardinia and tried to eat fresh fish caught of the day.................... I would gladly do it again thanks ELISA UMBERTO and I do not forget Vincenza Michele embrace Marie

To describe the holiday it takes little: everything is perfect. Umberto (the skipper) and Elisa welcomed us as good friends. Umberto is a competent and passionate skipper who loves to pass on his knowledge and share his experiences. Elisa visited us with her dishes, excellent compromise between the pleasures of the palate and healthy cuisine. The catamaran offers ample and comfortable spaces. Holiday recommended for those who love the sea, sea life and the combination of tranquility and dynamism that only living immersed in nature can grant. I hope to be able to repeat the experience as soon as possible.

Week of relaxation and nature on the catamaran! Skipper Umberto loves what he does, he is cautious and with him you feel safe. He has so much to teach and so much enthusiasm! Elisa the wife made us feel really at home, with her tranquility and availability ... both always ready for new challenges and new knowledge! Great company and great sea!! I would definitely do it again!!

For a long time I tried to organize a boat holiday and I must say that this solution exceeded expectations! The climate created on board made me spend a special week with the whole crew. Umberto and Elisa, passionate people, enthusiastic and available for every need! Super recommended!
