Our Nautical Legacy

Spawned from a deep love for the ocean and an unwavering dedication to superiority, OpenAccessGrove has been delivering unforgettable seafaring adventures along Italy's untouched shores for more than ten years.

Our Story

Launched in 2013 by sea aficionados Admiral Charles Sterling and Second Officer Morgan Avery, OpenAccessGrove was initially a vision to bring the splendor of Italy's waters to like-minded explorers.

Beginning with just one vessel, OpenAccessGrove has expanded to become Italy's premier luxury yacht charter service, accommodating thousands of happy patrons while remaining committed to our founding tenets of safety, opulence, and caring for the marine environment.

In the present day, our lineup includes a selection of top-of-the-line yachts, all furnished with the latest comforts and manned by seasoned maritime professionals dedicated to upholding our reputation for outstanding customer service.
