JEANNEAU SUN ODYSSEY 479 in Puntone di Scarlino

Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 479 in Puntone di Scarlino

Departing from Puntone di Scarlino, this sailboat gives you the freedom to chart a cruise between the Maremma coast and the Tuscan islands. With family or friends, you can alternate sailing and stopovers, with Elba Island nearby and Giglio among the possible horizons. The rental is self-service: you must therefore hold the required boating license.

A 14-meter sailboat for eight passengers

This 2017 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 479 measures 14.05 meters and accommodates up to eight passengers. It has four cabins and eight berths, a layout suited to a shared stay on board. Its engine power is 57 hp. For maneuvers and navigation, the listing notably indicates an autopilot, GPS, VHF and a bow thruster. Outside, you will find a sun awning, a spray hood, a table, cushions, a teak deck and a swim platform. The dinghy with its outboard motor and the paddle invite you to make the most of stopovers; hot water, the outdoor shower, the electric toilet, Wi-Fi and 220 V and USB outlets complete the listed equipment. The listed rate starts at €419 per day.

From Scarlino to the islands of the Maremma

From the marina, you can consider sailing to Elba Island, about 22 kilometers away, or set course for Giglio. Depending on the length of your stay, sea conditions and your experience, the itinerary can also follow the Maremma coast, heading toward Talamone or Argentario. Cala Violina offers another coastal landmark for planning an outing, taking into account local rules and approach options. These destinations are itinerary ideas, not guaranteed stops: weather, distances and available time all matter in the preparation. The boat is offered without a skipper, self-skippered, with a boating license required; check that your experience matches the planned legs before setting off.

I would recommend it to a crew already comfortable with sailing, who wants four cabins and to set their own pace. For the summer season, it is best to book early and plan the legs according to the weather. You can thus choose a relaxed cruise with short crossings or build a more ambitious route, without losing sight of the day's conditions.
