Anthea is a 2015 Oceanis 48 sailing yacht based at Marina di Scarlino, your gateway to the Tuscan Archipelago and one of Italy's most coveted cruising grounds. This five-cabin vessel accommodates up to twelve guests across three well-appointed heads, making her ideal for extended family gatherings or groups of friends seeking a shared maritime adventure. The boat combines seaworthiness with thoughtful comfort: a teak deck invites barefoot mornings, while the bimini and sprayhood shelter the cockpit during both scorching midday sun and unexpected squalls. Cushioned seating and a generous bathing platform transform the yacht into a floating retreat between anchorages.

A week aboard Anthea typically unfolds between the granite islands of the Tuscan coast and the sheltered coves of Elba. Days begin with coffee in the cockpit as you plot your course using the onboard GPS and chart plotter, then motor or sail toward hidden beaches and fishing villages. The 75 hp engine and bow thruster make entry into tight anchorages manageable, while the autopilot grants you freedom to relax on deck or prepare meals below. The galley's refrigeration keeps provisions fresh, and the electric heads ensure comfort for a full complement of guests. Solar panels and voltage converter support sustainable cruising, reducing your reliance on engine hours.

Evenings anchor in crystalline waters where the only sound is gentle lapping against the hull. You might dive from the bathing platform into warm Mediterranean waters, then gather in the spacious cockpit as the sun melts into the horizon. Local trattorias in Portoferraio or Giglio Porto are a dinghy ride away, serving fresh seafood and local Vermentino wine. Whether you're an experienced sailor or a bareboat novice with a skipper, Anthea rewards you with the rhythm of the sea—unhurried, authentic, and deeply restorative.
