BORGO SANTO PIETRO LAUNCHES SATORI

Borgo Santo Pietro launches Satori, and Dynamiq and Porsche’s GTT 115

Go from 13th-century Tuscan elegance at Borgo San Pietro estate to the glamour of 1920s- and ‘30s-era sailing on Satori around the Mediterranean. A Zen Buddhist word that means “the state of sudden, indescribable, intuitive enlightenment”, Satori was launched by the team behind the Tuscan estate, and passengers on-board can sail assured of an equal level of service and concierge activities. The handbuilt wooden schooner may exude an atmosphere of bygone glamour in its glossy mahogany décor and old-fashioned deck chairs, but the features on-board are comfortably modern, vaunting marble bathrooms, in-room bar fridges, free-standing walnut bathtubs, an open-air cinema, a spa cabin, Wi-Fi, top-range water and land toys, and last but not least – Michelin-quality cuisine and a 200-bottle wine cellar. When calling at some of the Mediterranean’s most sought- after destinations – Greece, Italy, France, to name a few – the concierge can deftly coordinate shopping excursions and gastronomic journeys, privately guided cultural tours, or even swap sea for sky with a helicopter flight. And although the vessel can host up to 10 guests in addition to the crew, sun-lounging privacy can be found on the front deck with a sunbed that’s ample for two and beckons lazy afternoons, while thoughtfully designed spaces throughout separate the crew from guests.
