A navy-hulled sailing ketch at anchor alone in a turquoise Mediterranean cove at golden hour

The Mediterranean, unhurried.

Crewed charters aboard four exceptional yachts, shaped around you by people who have spent their lives at sea.

Run by a captain, crewed by people who stay.

Petra Lindqvist spent nineteen years commanding charter yachts before founding Ondine in 2011. She kept the company small on purpose: four boats, permanent crews, and routes she has sailed herself in every month of the season.

That is the whole model. No brokerage lists, no boats we have never stepped aboard. When we recommend an anchorage for the second Tuesday of your charter, it is because someone here has swum in it.

Days that belong to you

A charter is not a schedule. It is a boat, a crew and open water, arranged around whatever a good day means to your party.
