Rumbera

Around 1980, the Paris-based studio of architect Gilbert Caroff was commissioned to design a sailing yacht for an Arctic expedition. The result was the Ile Disko (named after an island off the coast of Greenland): a 12.7-meter steel-hull sailboat with a lifting keel, specifically engineered to withstand harsh weather and challenging sailing conditions.

Thanks to its robust design and exceptional reliability, around 200 Ile Disko yachts have since been built in shipyards around the world.

In 1992, the Rumbera was launched after two years of dedicated work. The crew not only supervised the construction but also actively participated in the fitting-out process, carefully selecting materials and solutions to ensure maximum comfort and safety during offshore navigation.

Shortly after its launch, the Rumbera set sail for the Caribbean. For two years, it cruised between the Caribbean islands and Venezuela, operating charter services before returning to Sardinia in 1994—where it is still based today.
