Mediterranean Dream · Community Round
Help us
set sail.
At 60, we are letting everything go to live full-time on a sailing yacht in the Mediterranean. And we want to take with us the people who believe in us.
Your donation supports the project — and you get a real reward in return.

Who we are
The bravest thing
of our lives.
We are Maurizio and Svetlana. After thirty years in hospitality, across four continents, we have decided to do the bravest thing of our lives: leave everything behind and go live at sea.
This is not an escape, and this is not a holiday. It is a real project, told every day — life on board, the Mediterranean, the people, the food, the ports, the storms and the dawns.
Why we ask for your help
We want it born
from people.
We could have looked for a single large investor. We chose a different path: we want Mediterranean Dream to be born from people. From those who know us, who dream the same dreams, who want to come on board — even with a small gesture.
Every contribution brings us closer to the boat, the heart of the whole project. And this is not a one-way gift: every tier comes with a real reward.
A community,
not a round.
From €25 to €2,500 — every contribution matters. You will receive a concrete reward, and your name will stay in our credits for the lifetime of the project.
