Marc Giorgetti
Marc “Gio” Giorgetti grew up in landlocked Luxembourg, but the Mediterranean is never far from his mind. For a long time now, summer sailing has been a family tradition. He has just taken delivery of his largest sailing yacht to date, an exquisite balance of performance and comfort. The 33.8-metre Solaris CeFeA, named after his three children, is a carbon-hull beauty that has reached 16 knots in 15 knots of wind.
When we speak, over Zoom, he’s just had a few days on board and he can’t wait to get back on the water. “It is absolutely fantastic and very balanced. I can hold it with just two fingers,” he says.
Giorgetti is CEO of the Felix Giorgetti construction and property company, and also the majority shareholder of Solaris Yachts, so with this new yacht his passion has become a fast-growing business.
He traces his taste for boats to family holidays on the shores of Lake Maggiore, which straddles Italy and Switzerland in the foothills of the Alps. His late father, Felix Giorgetti, had a family home in this Alpine riviera and a wooden Riva Junior
