Reviews
We are a numerous group, but with you, all of our needs were satisfied. The tour was perfect and every island and every night at anchor couldn't have offered better sensations. Guaranteed fun! And top food! Thank you for having given us such a splendid vacation. Ps. More compliments, we forgot to say that the boat is so well looked after and maintained! GR
We had an unforgettable journey on your beautiful boat. You have thought about every detail, from the elegant fabrics and timeless decor to lounging and seating for every occasion a sea and ashore. The food is delicious, perhaps too yummy, as we are all bursting out of our clothes. We loved exploring the coastline, swimming in the magical inviting waters, catching jellyfish, sailing, tasting new wines and local delicacies. You have given us a truly unique family holiday. Whether relaxing or active, we have loved our time aboard OMBRE BLU ³. From our hearts we thank you. Until our next excursion!"
With affection, see you soon!

*** We hereby award Francesco 3 Michelin Stars - The Kids
Two words... perfect Trifecta!!! Three different locations, three different sets of friends and family on each charter but the one consistent item is the amazing, friendly, knowledgeable experience you provide every time! Your in-depth knowledge of each location enables us to experience all of the beauty of Italy (with no planning on our part :)) The Ombre Blu culinary experience is on par (or better than) many Michelin Star restaurants! We look forward to seeing that Cookbook someday! Thank you for helping us create more memories that will last a lifetime! Until the next time... With love Rosanne & Chris
