“TOP” CRUISES WITHOUT SURPRISES IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SEA IN ITALY

Propose a quality charter, with deep customer care and maniacal care of all our vessels. On the other hand,” says Maria Grazia Zuliani, founder of 43° Parallelo together with Dario Zana, “we are a team that has been present in the industry for 30 years, having been born in 1993, and we have always maintained this philosophy, trying to innovate and adapt to the demands of a market that is increasingly attentive to quality and the environment. The use of solar panels has seen us pioneer a standard in all fleets in Italy-it has ensured our success and credibility in the charter industry. We have made the same commitment in our sales activity: we are Jeanneau Vela dealers for Tuscany and Sardinia, as well as Excess Catamarans. Thanks to these partnerships with world-class brands, our fleet is always being updated so that we can offer our customers only new, reliable and comfortable boats. All the models in our fleet today belong to Jeanneau’s Sun Odyssey line: for the summer of 2023 we have as many as 10 sailboats, not catamarans that are less in demand by our clientele also because we would have to use skippers in this case and register the boats for charter as required by Italian regulations. We provide clients with a top-quality fleet of which small to medium-sized models are part: two with 4 cabins and one with 5 cabins while most have 3 cabins. We have chosen to offer a fleet that allows us to be at the top level of service and meets the needs of the market segment we favor. It is a complete range that is perfect for charter: it ranges from the Sun Odyssey 349 to the 490, including the 380, which is the latest model launched by Jeanneau.” It has always been based in Scarlino Marina, in the center of the Gulf of Follonica. All around, the wonders of the Tuscan Maremma, including pine forests, woods, olive groves and unspoiled coastline. But the Marina di Scarlino is also an ideal base for cruises to Elba Island and the Tuscan Archipelago, Corsica and Sardinia. “Assistance,” adds Maria Grazia, “is the first value for us: we always give advice and also provide our suggested itineraries, published on our website. We create a personalized chat with each client through which we give technical and touristic support in real time: for the last 5 years we have been organizing the online check in by sending a link to the client who can then see the boat, its equipment and fittings also with technical videos: it is a much-loved function that empowers the client. For summer 2023 we are proposing very competitive rates: on 410 for example we start from 2,550 euros in very low season to 4,400 in very high season.”
