how to keep your sheets together
the one of a kind tip ever come from Martha Stewart’s weblog. The trick is very simple, timesaver and useful – it is difficult to keep sheets sets together when you have many of them, Martha’s weblog suggest to tuck the sheet set (full, fitted, and other pillowcase) inside one of the pillowcases for that set and then stack accordingly with the size (twin – single – king) or by the room (master cabin, guest cabin).
Our linen catalogue is available on request, for a short introduction you can have a look here.

the 24 hours in advance order
There are lots of reasons why we ask our clients to send us their order in advance, although we work with the very fresh markets you can imagine that our referents really prepare the goods at the very last minute…but there is a world more than fresh fruit and veggies and fresh meat and seafood.
The reasons why we use to ask an advance order are:
- logistic organization (that is important in a city such as Venice)
- to guarantee the full product availability (obtaining an order in advance most of the times guarantees you will not suffer a lack)
- to source items that are not ready available in our market (some charter guests ask the crew member to provide them with an American or British or Asiatic food which is always a pain in the….)
-…and then we experienced the 4th reason…
“it was June, Venice was crowded with boats, they all were in Venice because of the Biennale. We did receive a telephone call from one of our clients, he was asking us an enormous bouquet of phalaenopsis orchids for a birthday on board. The expected delivery date for that bouquet was fixed by the client for the day after. One of my colleagues contacted the client back after the florist confirmation in order to inform him about the price and especially about the fact that the flower order was well organized. He also asked him if everything else was in place for the birthday party and informed the client that during that period, in case of any order, the sooner the better. The client replied with something which sounded like “apart from this order of mine everything else is fine”.
We worked very hard on those days, all our clients were happy with the products, a bit bored by the traffic conditions and it was absolutely too hot to work in Venice. I well remember the morning I saw the mobile number of the clients who asked for the enormous phalaenopsis bouquet. I immediately asked my colleague to call the florist in order to understand if there was any problem we weren’t aware of, in the meantime i answered:
em: good morning, how can i help you?
client: i am expecting my provisioning order…were they are?
em: do you mean your flowers order?
client: oh no, i did received the flowers ten minutes ago but i am still waiting for my drinks
I asked the client to give me ten minutes in order to check everything, he was angry, having guests on board and perfectly nothing to drink.
there wasn’t any order from him except the flowers bouquet. It took all my braveness but i called him back and explained that we had never received any other order from him, he checked the email he believed he had sent and realized that the e mail server on board had stopped working several hours before.
We always provide our client with a sort of feedback on provisioning list whether it is related to interior or galley. Our feedback can either be “thank you for your order, everything is fine” or the longest e mail ever with queries on every single product mentioned on the list…
The 24 hours in advance order is useful also for this reason, that is if you do not hear from us shortly after sending an order just check your server…or give us a call!)
- in order to prevent the faint of heart…we worked on our client order immediately, we delivered the drinks with a white sheet on top in order to minimize the inconvenience for the charter guest, they were so happy with the flowers that they did not realized the drinks arrived 10 minutes later.
it’s time of film festival.
The 68th Venice international film Festival will take place shortly in Lido, hot dates 31st August / 10th september.
The aim of the film festival is to promote the international cinema in all its forms, our aim is still providing a dedicate provisioning service, especially in this period of the year while in Venice sourcing the silliest thing can become a nightmare.
new product in town
From advertising websites -
This unique and exclusive accessory, at first dedicated to the Yacht Club Capri’s members, will be for sale in a limited edition starting from September onwards and will only be found at the best wine shops. If you love life onboard a boat – and you are lucky enough to own one or rent a yacht each summer – you cannot do without this precious box. What are We Talking about? We are talking about the Blue Bar, mini bar in the limited edition designed by Johnnie Walker Blue Label which houses/contains all the necessary for the perfect tasting of the finest cocktails. First of all, the Scotch Whisky Johnnie Walker Blue Label.
How did we get the concept? Allow us to explain. The project is a collaborative effort between the famous whiskey label and the Yacht Club Capri, one of the most prestigious sailing clubs along the Tyrrhenian coast.
Its body made of blue Epoxy resin and with the Johnnie Walker Blue Label logos as well as the Yacht Club Capri as a decoration, its content is especially valuable: The top box contains a bottle of fine Scotch whiskey, a selection of 4 excellent bottles and a set of 4 triple- bottomed balloon glasses. We can rightfully talk about luxury and refined taste when it comes to life onboard a yacht!Depending on the occasion, whether we range from an elegant aperitif or an meditative after-dinner drink, you can make a good impression by serving gin Tanqueray No. Ten, the first in the world made with carefully selected and cut by hand fresh citrus flavors, or vodka Cîroc, the only produced through the distillation of grapes. On top of that, a Talisker North 57th, the single malt Scotch whiskey, rum and the sophisticated Zacapa XO characterized by scents of vanilla, almond and chocolate. Have we convinced you? Equipped with a carrying handle, the oval-shaped Johnnie Walker Blue Label Minibar can be easily carried on board.

the bellini recipe
Since we are in Venice and since we do love to promote our local cocktail production please have a look at our hints for the Bellini…the original one.
pear juice is forbidden as well with other juices that have nothing to do with the bellini.
ice is forbidden (wishy-washy???)
grappa forbidden.
champagne… absolutely forbidden, champagne is too tasteful and will cover the white peaches flavour.
The Bellini requires:
1/3 Prosecco
2/3 fresh white peaches juice and pulp
2 drops of raspberry juice (no more than 2 drops we said, raspberry is only a fact of colors in this drink)
and that is…
our “while in shipyard” section.
During these days we are working hard on our “while-in-shipyard” section, we are especially updating the leather and accessories section with the promotional items and also creating the “table” page with flatware, china, pans and tablecloths. Stay tuned. 
bruscàndoło is back.
Do not forget to order some wild bruscandolo during April and May.
April is the Bruscandolo (common hop) season, and as per last years it is starting to appear on our table and we do love it.
(The omelette recipe or the bruscandolo risotto recipe are also available on demand…)
