The house log
A charter house, not a booking engine
Solmara was founded in 2009 by a racing skipper and a hotelier who agreed on one thing: a week aboard should feel considered, not administered. This page is our log, opened for you. The boats, the routes, the people, the table.

Passages
One route, kept in the log
The Cassia Loop is our first answer to a first charter: seven days, four anchorages, never more than a morning under way. Every Solmara route is written down the same way, day by day.
- Day 01Porto Lievo to Cala VessaCast off after lunch aboard. First anchor down by golden hour, a swim before dinner.18 nm
- Day 02Cala Vessa to Scoglio FieroOpen water by midmorning. Lunch under way, the fishing line out aft.26 nm
- Day 03Scoglio FieroA lay day ashore. The crew knows the harbormaster, and the bakery opens at seven.At anchor
- Day 04Scoglio Fiero to Isola MeridiaThe longest leg, taken early. Anchor in the north cove before the day boats arrive.31 nm
- Day 07Punta Sorda to Porto LievoA broad reach home. The log is signed on the aft deck over the last lunch.9 nm
Teak underfoot, rope in hand, nothing to carry.
The crew
Seventeen people who have already thought of it
Our crew averages nine seasons aboard. Captains hold the routes, chefs hold the market list, and the deck team keeps the teak barefoot clean. You will know their names before you land. They will know yours before you step off the passerelle.
Uniforms are optional. Standards are not. Every charter sails with a full crew: captain, chef, steward, and deckhand at minimum.
- On board, always
- Captain, chef, steward, deckhand

Provisioning
What comes aboard
The galley is settled before you arrive. This is the standing table. The chef bends it to allergies, anniversaries, and the morning market.
- First lightFigs, yogurt, bread from the harbor bakery, coffee taken on the foredeck.
- At anchorThe morning's catch grilled whole, tomatoes, cold white from the Cassia cooperative.
- Golden hourOlives, anchovies, vermouth on ice, carried to whichever deck holds the sun.
- DinnerThree courses from the galley, timed to the sunset you sailed for.
- Below deckA cellar of island bottles, still water in glass, the good tonic.
The standing table · bends to the market and the occasion
After dark
Night passages are the part guests write home about.
The sea goes to ink, the masthead light keeps its slow metronome, and dinner runs late because nobody is going anywhere. We plan for the daylight. The evenings take care of themselves.
