BIANCA II | Luxury Crewed Sailing Yacht

Step aboard BIANCA II and meet a crew of 3 that runs like a well-practiced team, led by Captain Alex Ricci. His steady leadership comes from solid experience in the nautical sector, continuous training, and a rare advantage: 15 years working in shipyards before going to sea. That background means he understands the yacht from the inside out, and it shows in the way he manages every day with smooth efficiency.

On deck, Lorenzo Merla adds real sailing depth and a composed presence. Born in Rome in 1979, he studied Classics and completed industrial-focused professional training, then built years of hands-on sailing expertise that started in childhood courses and grew into competitive racing. From dinghies to keelboats, he learned deck operations and teamwork in demanding conditions, and his detail-oriented approach keeps guests feeling safe and well cared for. He speaks Italian, English, and French fluently, making onboard communication easy.

In the galley, Chef Eleonora Rossetti brings charisma and positive energy to every service, backed by extensive yachting experience around the world. She is known for creativity, precision, and the ability to tailor menus to different dietary preferences, including vegan, vegetarian, and keto. Expect fresh Mediterranean dishes alongside gourmet favorites, with thoughtful options for families and children, all prepared with a consistent focus on quality.

Overview:
BIANCA II is the kind of vessel that makes the Italian Riviera feel brighter, faster, and more alive the moment you step onboard. As a Pardo 26m luxury crewed sailing yacht, she pairs a sleek, sophisticated exterior with an onboard setup that keeps the day playful, relaxed, and beautifully social. Her amenities are arranged for real enjoyment, not just for show, so you can move naturally from sun time to dining to downtime. The itinerary feels exciting because the yacht makes it effortless to say yes to the moment.

The upper deck becomes your open-air lounge for the week, spacious, breezy, and framed by panoramic views of the open sea. As evening approaches, your crew creates a refined alfresco dinner experience, anchored near the iconic Portofino while the sun melts into the horizon. When you want to dial it down, the foredeck offers a quieter vantage point over Liguria’s anchorages, perfect for slower conversation and a glass in hand. It is a simple shift of location that completely changes the mood.

Below deck, contemporary styling meets elegant teak interiors, giving the yacht a warm, welcoming feel that fits the Riviera lifestyle. The saloon and dining area are comfortable spaces for hosting and unwinding, whether you are gathering everyone for a drink or taking a peaceful break from the sun. The atmosphere feels balanced, modern, inviting, and calm. You can feel the design intention in the way the spaces support both social time and quiet pauses.

Finish strong in La Spezia, exploring charming villages and narrow alleys before returning to the comfort of your yacht. Back onboard, enjoy a wonderful dinner with a refreshing aperitif as the striking rock formations of the region set the scene around you. When you want one last surge of fun, take advantage of the water toys onboard and make your final day feel every bit as energetic as the first.
