Pepolo’s story
We bought Pepollo in 2019 from an Italian industrialist who used it exclusively for personal purposes. Despite his age (over 80 years), we were able to sail with him a bit near the island of Monte Christo, in northern Italy. So we brought Pepollo from northern Italy to Alicante and then we got the Spanish flag. Pepollo went on a superb cruise to the Canary Islands at the end of 2019. At the beginning of 2020, Pepollo had to return due to Covid and rarely went out during the pandemic. She has just sailed in the Balearic Islands after her 2022/2023 renewal.
