During one recent weekend, we took a trip with some guests
from Monaco to the village of Portofino, a small fishing village in Italy,
which has become an exclusive resort town.
The town has a strong reputation as being frequented by the
rich and famous, and is known as one of the most beautiful towns in the
Mediterranean. Fishing boats and super yachts alike all cram into the
small harbor, creating a colorful and fun atmosphere.
The Maltese Falcon anchored in the outer harbor during her
stay there, and dozens of small boats almost constantly circled the yacht to
admire her unique beauty. Guests and crew had the opportunity to explore
the town and take in the sights and atmosphere.
At the end of the weekend the Maltese Falcon made the trip
back to Monaco, briefly stopping to anchor near Imperia, France to do some
swimming and finish a Laser Regatta that was started a few weeks prior while in
Corsica. Finalists and winners from the regatta were treated to a formal
dinner in the Maltese Falcon’s grand dining room and were even given
blooper awards for some less-than-perfect performances. All had a great
time and we hope to do it again soon!
