My husband, Dario Noseda, is an experienced sailor and for several years, together, we had a nautical and clothing shop on Lake Como.
There are countless times that I have advised our customers in finding the right gift for the sailor friend or the friend who could not do without the sea. In those years I learned a lot about the variety of people who populate the world of sailing and the characteristics of seafarers
In choosing gift ideas I was inspired by 10 "characters" with peculiar characteristics and I am sure that among these you will find a common trait with the recipient of your gift:
- Wandering the South Seas
- The superstitious
- Elegant navigators
- Masterchef of the Galley
- News Hunter
- Who snuggles up to listen to the sea
- Romantic poets of sailing
- Passionate about sea stories
- Lover of order
- The free soul
Now that as true "profilers" we have identified the characteristics of the person to whom we will give the gift, let's discover the 10 perfect gift ideas for each profile
1• Waterproof beauty sail for the vagabonds of the South Seas

A beauty case is always useful and if our Marò beauty case seems too big for you, you can take a look at " Pochette Barchetta " and " Astucciotto ".
2• The superstitious - Sailor's amulet
In the navy, superstition is almost an art, there are many customs that are respected, such as not changing the name of the boat (except for a specific procedure), or putting a coin at the base of the mast. Every self-respecting sailor has his or her own lucky charm that he or she never separates from. For each knot, a wish, a danger escaped, so the sailor's amulets become that indispensable object like luck.
3• For elegant sailors: the charm of vintage sails
If you are looking for a gift for an elegant person who never lacks style, attentive to details and fascinated by wooden boats smelling of mahogany and shining with always shiny brass, then the right choice is a bag from the Vele d'epoca collection , made in a limited series with the fabric of 2 sails recovered from a beautiful vintage boat.
4• For the Masterchefs of the galley:Table set: placemats and napkin holders
"Add a place at the table, there's an extra friend" and with the sail placemats, setting the table will be a breeze. Practical, unique and waterproof, suitable from breakfast to dinner. They take up little space (on a boat it's essential) and can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Those who take care of the galley on board or at home will be happy to present their delicacies on a table like this. Matchable with the new windproof baskets designed to prevent napkins from flying away, you can find everything HERE
5• Always on the hunt for News from the sea: the magazines
For sea lovers who want to immerse themselves in a world of salt water even while sitting on the couch at home, I recommend SIRENE , it is not just a magazine, it is a story of sea people for sea people, immersive photographs, glimpses of life lived on the water's surface. Also very beautiful is the book edited by the director Alberto Coretti "Gente di Mare" where life at sea is told through the 5 senses.
If the sailing enthusiast is always on the hunt for news on the latest regattas, new projects, boat prices, then the right gift is a subscription to the "Giornale della Vela" , in paper and digital version so as not to miss out on in-depth nautical news.
6• Cuddles while listening to the sea: Windproof blanket
To not give up a starry sky even when the temperature is cooler. A windproof blanket is perfect for the boat, the evenings in the cockpit will be more pleasant, but you can also use it on the sofa at home and you will feel like you are on a boat lulled by the waves for a happier sleep. Made in 3 sizes: baby, perfect as a stroller blanket, outdoor and double to snuggle together listening to the sea.
7• The romantics of sailing
There are many poems and famous phrases about the sea, we have chosen some of them, among the poets who have had the sea as their inspiration and we have printed them on the sails for a truly unique, poetic, romantic gift.
The pochettes from the PAROLE SU VELA collection are the right size to hold a paperback book and protect it from the sand. You can also personalize the pochette with your own phrase and make this pochette in recycled sails even more original with your own words
8• Passionate about sea stories: 60,000 miles under sail
|
Bernard Moitessier is certainly the greatest representative of romantic sailing, anyone who approaches the world of sailing will have read one of his books, but not everyone knows this wonderful book written by the wife of the famous navigator. If the recipient of your gift is a man, it will be the opportunity to make him change his mind about the saying of women on board. If, on the other hand, it is a woman who receives this gift, you will give her smiles and female solidarity. |
9• Lover of order: Dondo the storage unit that doesn't fear skidding
It is impossible to stay still on a boat, it is always swinging, so everything is blocked and secured. Dondo is a storage unit that swings, it follows the heeling of the boat, always looking for its center of gravity. It is called the "storage unit" because it lends itself to so many different uses: for the lines in the cockpit, for bathroom products, for magazines and even for a plant on the terrace. Dondo is inspired by the clews of sails, with its ring and cord you can hang it anywhere
