Ciao tutti!

We are Rachel and Colin from Scotland.  We own and operate Andrea Jensen, offering day sailing excursions from Alghero in Sardinia, the only classic tall ship on Sardinia.

We are passionate about what we do, with 9 years of experience, sailing from Alghero, Sardinia. Our love for sailing began, together with our young family, on Scotland's challenging west coast, 25 years ago. Our dream of operating a Mediterranean sailing business became a reality when we bought Andrea Jensen in 2016, here in Alghero.

 

Our Danish ship is our home in Alghero.

 

Andrea Jensen was built in 1939, in the fishing port of Esbjerg, Denmark as a sailing fishing boat, and she fished in the North Sea until 1986. She was then decommissioned and restored in the south of England, to a passenger vessel with a traditional Gaff Rig. Built of solid oak, displacing 75 tons, she is very stable, safe and comfortable. 

Andrea Jensen is registered as a small commercial vessel by the UK regulatory body the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA). She is inspected annually by a UK surveyor on their behalf. Her stability conforms to the highest standard class 0, which means she could sail safely anywhere in the world. She carries liferafts, lifejackets, lifebuoys, flares, first aid kits etc, in accordance with MCA requirements.

In addition she is licensed by the local Italian authorities to operate day trip excursions from Alghero, Sardinia.
