The 2021 XO 270 Front Cabin is a rare Scandinavian-built aluminum cabin cruiser that blends offshore capability, premium construction, and sporty performance into a versatile all-weather platform. Built on a marine-grade aluminum deep-V hull with a sharp 24-degree deadrise, the XO delivers an exceptionally smooth ride when conditions turn challenging. Powered by twin Mercury 250 HP outboards with 362 hours on the port engine and 409 hours on the starboard, this XO offers strong performance, and responsive handling. The protected pilothouse features excellent 360 visibility, a shock-mitigating helm seat for added comfort underway, and easy walk-through access to the bow for safe and convenient line handling or anchoring. The enclosed front cabin provides comfortable overnight accommodations, while the spacious cockpit offers plenty of room for cruising, entertaining, or exploring the coast. Combining rugged aluminum construction with Scandinavian design and attention to detail, the XO 270 Front Cabin stands apart from conventional pilothouse boats and remains a unique offering in the Pacific Northwest market.

Last night a full gale blew across Buren Bay. From Mitsu’s old house near the shore I listened to the wind roll over the roof and wondered how Wahine was handling it out on the mooring. Boats are strange companions. You care for them… and they carry you. — Field Notes from Amami.

Built in 1921, Florette is the last active, originally built brigantine in the Mediterranean and one of the last wooden windjammers that are still actively sailing. Join Florette for an Italian sailing holiday to explore the UNESCO heritage site of the Aeolian islands. From the active volcano of Stromboli to the typical Italian island of Lipari, experience the very best of this archipelago from the water. An unforgettable and versatile sailing holiday in Italy with daily trips ashore, offering a pleasant contrast to the social life on board. Experience the fiery Stromboli, the most active volcano in Europe on an adventurous night-time hike. Climb Vulcano slumbering in sulphur fumes and enjoy a healing bath in the sulphur mud afterwards before dipping into the bubbling sea. Or go hiking on the Salina island, known for its capers and sweet wine. Swim, snorkel and kayak in secluded bays with crystal-clear water and dark beaches made of fine, black lava sand. Florette and her crew always try to combine traditional classic sailing while immersing guests in the natural landscapes ashore; volcanoes, ancient culture and the specialities of the regional Italian cuisine. Whilst on board this historic brigantine guests can get involved with traditional sailing. With an original rig, it is certainly an all-hands on deck approach – which is surely part of the magic to this adventure sailing holiday! https://venturesailholidays.com/ship/florette/
