Our Maritime Heritage

Emerging from a deep-seated love for the ocean and dedication to distinction, OpenUtilityLane has been crafting memorable seafaring journeys along the unspoiled shorelines of Italy for more than ten years.

Our Story

In 2013, maritime aficionados Captain Edward Sterling and First Officer Alex Johnson ignited the voyage of OpenUtilityLane, with a vision to let others relish the splendor of Italy's aquatic treasures.

Transforming from a solitary yacht venture, OpenUtilityLane has escalated to become Italy's beloved high-end yacht charter service, catering to a vast number of delighted customers, while upholding fundamental principles of safety, luxury, and caring for the environment.

Presently, our operations include an array of meticulously serviced high-end vessels, every one outfitted with the latest comforts and manned by seasoned sea experts dedicated to delivering unparalleled service.
