Blue Deer: The Sailing Retreat Where Luxury Meets the Sea
Some journeys leave you with souvenirs. Others change how you feel in your own skin. Blue Deer offers the latter—an invitation to step into a slower rhythm, where the sea is your backdrop and every moment is designed for deep, effortless joy. Sailing between Naples and Sardinia, this is not just a holiday—it’s a floating sanctuary of taste, design, and Mediterranean soul.
Commissioned by the Ferragamo family, Blue Deer is a 74-foot Sunreef catamaran that embodies timeless Italian style, privacy, and barefoot elegance. With a maximum of 10 guests and an expert crew, including a gourmet chef, every detail is personalised—every sunset, perfectly framed. Think: freshly grilled fish served on deck at golden hour, chilled wine clinking beneath a blanket of stars, and days that unfold with no agenda but joy.
Naples - Culture with a Coastal Heartbeat
Your journey begins in Naples—bold, historic, and brimming with soul. Here, Vesuvius rises like a sentinel over a city of contradictions: ancient ruins meet buzzing espresso bars, Renaissance churches neighbour graffiti-covered palazzos, and laughter echoes down cobbled alleyways.
Onboard Blue Deer, you’ll sail the fabled Amalfi Coast with its cascading cliffs, pastel-hued villages, and secret coves only reachable by sea. Drop anchor near Positano or Capri and swim in aquamarine grottos before dining on freshly caught langoustines and Amalfi lemons, transformed into something unforgettable by your onboard chef.
Why We Love It: The blend of cultural immersion and seaside escape. Walk the ruins of Pompeii by morning, strolls the narrow roads on the island of Placido with a gelato in hand, then plunge into crystalline waters by afternoon.
Sardinia - Wild Beauty, Reimagined
Sardinia is where Blue Deer comes into its own—a place where the sea glows turquoise and the land still whispers its wild origins. Cruise the Maddalena Archipelago with its blush-pink beaches and hidden inlets, or wake early to a mirror-flat sea as dolphins crest the waterline beside the boat.
Explore Corsica’s southern coast, snorkel in Cala Corsara, or hike the cliffs above Cala Luna. Spend your days gliding between sapphire coves, indulging in sea urchins cracked open moments before lunch, and ending the day with local Cannonau wine as the sun melts behind the hills.
Why We Love It: Sardinia still holds some precious secrets—untamed and serene, best explored from the water. The sensory richness of the sea here is unparalleled: salty breezes, sun-warmed teak underfoot, and the freshest seafood imaginable.
Set Sail, Find Stillness
As the waves carry you between mythic coastlines and modern comforts, Blue Deer reminds us that true luxury is not found in excess, but in presence. Here, every sunset is a show, every morning a soft return to yourself.
“The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.”
— Jacques Cousteau
Let Blue Deer be your portal to the Mediterranean at its most intimate, its most beautiful. Whether you're marking a milestone or simply chasing stillness, this voyage will stay with you long after you’ve returned to shore.
