Alberto Cadeddu
General Manager & Business Developer
Graduated at the School for Hotel Management in Sardinia, I joined the maritime business when I was asked to board a Motor Yacht as mate for a season. That season lasted almost ten years, and during this period I became engineer, visited half the world, and gained tons of experience. Nautica Assistance was the logic consequence that allowed me to use that experience in my homeland, Sardinia. I was very lucky with my project, as, beside the right moment in the right place, I kept finding fantastic people who joined the company and really helped building the concept. I believe I am in love with this business, mainly with all the crew, I have so much respect for such a lovely job and running a company that aims me to help these people is a dream that comes true.

CEO & Managing Partner
''It is the time that you dedicate to your rose that makes your rose so important". NA is definitely my rose... I' ve been always a dreamer from when I was a little child and for this reason I couldn't avoid to fall in love with the NA dream since the very first moment, when my husband has dreamt it. My skills and my professionality in the luxury yachting field has grown through the experience, my passion and intuition has allowed me to be involved completely in the creation, start up and growth of each department of the agency as it is today. I have seen NA while becoming day after day what initially was just an idea. From 2006 I am in charge of both the administrative and the human resources depts, as a real consequence of my carrier in NA. In the last years I have luckly achieved many goals but the most important is definitely to become mother of two beautiful girls Nicole e Beatrice. Their enthusiasm in facing the everyday challenges represents for me the biggest inspirational example.
Valeria Capobianco
Sales & Yacht Operations
NA in 2004 marks my professional birth. From Porto Cervo to Monaco, from Genoa to Sint Maarten, always there following the sun. An atypical Libra: diplomacy and balance leave space to spontaneity. Eternally hesitant… but definitely resolute achieving my goals.I love discovering a world made of sun, beaches, dreams. Meeting always different people and realities. My job gives me the opportunity to be always where I want to be!
Dreams need to know that we are braves.
Federica Tilocca
Sales & Marketing
Never too far from the ocean and always ready to jump on a plane to discover new places, people and cultures. After and during university’s studies, I’ve always worked in the luxury tourism industry in Italy and abroad. I have lived in Middle East and South America. I love travelling, knowing people from all around the world and making them discover our beautiful island and its beauties. Nautica Assistance has arrived in my life as a natural consequence to my passions and way to be.
Clarissa Piazza
Sales & IT
I've always been a passionate traveller and from an early age I started to pack my suitcase for long journeys. My enthusiasm for discovering new places and leaving abroad also made me appreciate how wonderful home is. The quality of life in Sardinia cannot be taken for granted. Moving to Sardinia means indeed moving away from the hustle and bustle of the city and getting closer to nature, which brings each of us closer to a simpler and more authentic way of life.
Working for NA, gave me the opportunity to travel during the winter season and have Sardinia as main base the rest of the year. And, most important thing, it's not everyday that you get to work with a big and loving family!!
In my free time I alternate times of pure laziness watching tv series, to times filled with adventures surrounded by nature. Whether at home or not though, tasting good food is always the main activity!
"In the end we only regret the chances we didn't take.."
Francesca Ferreri
Sales & Yacht Operation
After four years in London as Assistant General Manager in a famous restaurant chain, I have decided to follow that small voice inside me asking continuously to be back to our beautiful island. I have then decided to improve my carrier with a University course in Sciences of Cultural Tourism. The destiny has brought me to join NA team in 2011 and from that moment yachting has become part of my life. After two years in the concierge department, one in the provisioning department and four in the shipping department, I'm now very happy and definitely ready to handle yacht operation as Yacht agent and start this new journey in the Sales dept as Yacht agent.I love reading, cinema, shopping, travelling whenever is possible and definitely having nice walks in our beautiful beaches, even during winter time, especially in the last years when I have been lucky enough to spend my winter time in Antigua looking after our clients there!

This is one of the reasons for which I felt it always special to be part of NA team. My degree in Economy allowed me to be in charge of the accounting department.Make it squared is always better then make it round!

By the time I had finished, I felt ready to face new professional challenges.

Gioia Serra
South Sardinia Concierge
Sea lover, freediver, swing-dancer, passionate for travelling, tiramisù and table football.
I moved to London for 10 years, after a degree in languages and started a career as an event manager. Whilst completing a master degree in Conference and Events Management I started working for the Financial Times events department as events project manager, working with high level clients and travelling the world managing their time up to their standards. The love for my island, the light in my eyes when talking about it and promoting it to foreign friends took me back to Sardinia in 2016, like following a mermaid singing.
I joined Nautica Assistance in April 2018 after travelling solo throught India, where I studied and practiced yoga for two months. Based in Cagliari, South Sardinia, I personally enjoy experiencing most activities, adventures, beaches and menus to make sure you’ll comfortably experience the best hidden gems in luxury.
Claudia Deidda
South Sardinia Concierge
Translator by training, after my Master’s Degree In Technical Translation and Liaison Interpreting obtained at the School for Interpreters and Translators in Trieste, I gained different working experiences abroad, in Spain, Ireland, and Luxembourg, where in 2013 I worked as a Terminologist in the Terminology Coordination Unit. But my soul belongs to my beautiful Sardinia, that’s why I came back to the island. Joining Nautica Assistance meant joining a great company where I could finally put into practise all the skills that I have developed abroad.
Ilaria Sale
Concierge Department
I have been working in the nautical industry for the last three years. The first time I approached to this sector, I immediately felt in love with it.
I am a pharmacy student during the winter, but the love for our sea belongs to me since I was a kid : at the moment I live in a town far from the sea,as a university student, but in summer I need to come back to the place I love. That’s why I am most honoured to work with Nautica Assistance, which is a core pillar company of the Sardinian Maritime Industry. I am grateful to be able to work with a yacht agency company like NA, and to have the opportunity to learn how yacht tourism is developing in Sardinia. In my freetime I love reading, especially about new discoveries in the pharmaceutical research and about saving our planet and seas from pollution.
Irene Andretto
Concierge Department
Hi, I am Irene.
my journey to NA is long and slightly twisted...
It started with my passion for the sea, nature and Sardinia as a young child, to continue with a career and studies in tourism Management and lots of travelling. I had a "little" 10 years break from this industry whilst working as a "Bobbit" in London, where I lived for 20 years, to then came back to my beloved Sardinia in 2019 to continue with my career in the tourism industry until I landend at NA this season.
I love Sardinia and my mission is to promote it for its beauty and history, whilst helping to preserve its fragile environment. My passion is customer care, and there's nothing more rewarding than seeing a satisfied guest!
Cecilia Meloni
Concierge Department
If there is one thing I have learnt in life, it is that you have to fight to get what you want, but work even harder once you get it.
Cancer sign, an eternal dreamer since childhood. To chase my dream of learning English at the age of 21 I decided to pack my bags and start my experience in London, where I had the chance to meet amazing people from all over the world , explore new cultures and grow both humanly and professionally in the hospitality industry.
Able to adapt to any situation, I live every occasion as an opportunity to improve myself. After 9 years away from home, my need to get closer to the sea brought me back to my beautiful island, where I started my nautical experience in 2018 but in constant need of new opportunities, the Universe led me to Nautica Assistance, where it was love at first sight..here I started my new role position as a Concierge, and where I had the chance to meet a fabulous team.
In my spare time I am a mum, I love reading, travelling, shopping, long aperitifs with friends and of course a passion for good food.
"Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it."
Michela Cossu
Provisions Department
My experience in NA started in 2004 as port office coordinator in Porto Cervo shifting to the F&D department a year later, almost a set course considering I love good food and my family can boast excellent chefs. I’m not new to the marine industry either since when I was a kid some of my family members were on the yachting industry: an engineer, a chief stewardess and a chef. This surely led me to develop an unconditioned love for my job. I love travelling and visiting new places, whether for short or long periods of time. I love visiting warm countries where I can relax, sunbathe on the beach and of course enjoy the local cuisine.
Beatrice Montis
Provisions Department
After spending 8 years studying in the turism field to achieve my degree in Economy and Management of Turism, and after several years working in restaurants and Hotels. I discovered in me an interest for luxury turism.
I joined NA in 2017, more precisely the provisioning dept. It all started like a game, willing to challenging myself.
Not being 100% satisfied, I went for 5 months in England to improve the language and to discover there culinary traditions.
What do I like?
Well, being a really friendly person, I love socialising with people and hanging around, but at the same time I really like enjoyning a good book with some nice music surrounded by our beautiful beaches.
To be fair, I’m a food lover, so I would never say NO to a dinner with friends.

Cesare Garigiola
Provisions Department
Even though I was born in a big city like Milan, my curiosity soon became bigger than the city itself and I felt the strong need to leave.
I took the chance to complete my university studies in Spain where I came in contact with a multicultural environment and the food and beverage world. That inspired me to go further and far away and that's when my nomadic life began.
I lived and worked in three differents continents grewing skills and commitment in the fields of hospitality and customer care.
My great passion for the wine world led me to become an enthusiastic sommelier, eager to keep learning
I landed in Sardegna for love, and the love for this wonderful island made me settle down.
I found in NA a new challenge and the right place where to put into practice my experiences.
Angelo Medas
Technical Department
Home sweet home.
"Changes" has been the song of my life so far, different places and experiences, different companies, different targets.
Nautical industry anyway, it seems to be a theme lately. After few years in the NA Tech department and the last three years working as mega yachts bunker trader I am now happy to be back with the NA family. Right back where I started from in 2004.
I fill up the day coaching my U13 football team and studying Sports at University. Job and hobby make a perfect mix now to let my days be all busy and exciting.
