I’m Getting a Yacht

In the glittering heat of the Italian Riviera, a modest dentist named Piero decides that the best way to make up for a fragmented family life is to buy a tiny yacht and set sail for a two‑week Mediterranean escape. The vessel, affectionately called Biba, promises a simple pleasure: open water, sunlight, and a chance to reconnect with the people who matter most.

Accompanying him are his spirited children, Fiorella and Claudio, whose enthusiasm for the open sea matches their father’s longing for a holiday that feels whole again. From the moment the trip is announced, Roberta, Piero’s ex‑wife, feels a pull to keep a closer eye on the youngsters. She covertly boards the journey, slipping aboard the Biba and turning the family voyage into a delicate dance of old affection, lingering pride, and the practical challenges of parenting on a moving platform. Their modest craft soon finds itself sailing alongside the sleek Kabir, owned by the affluent engineer Casorati and his well‑heeled crew, highlighting a gentle clash of class and expectations.

Meanwhile, a charming nurse named Alessia weaves herself into the picture, hinting at the complexities of adult relationships that linger beneath the surface of the family’s adventure. Her presence adds a layer of subtle intrigue, suggesting that Piero’s quest for freedom may intersect with his desire for connection in unexpected ways. The Mediterranean itself becomes a character, its calm bays and bustling ports reflecting the shifting moods of the travelers.

The film settles into a breezy, warm‑hearted tone that blends light comedy with genuine emotional stakes. As the boat glides over sun‑kissed waters, the characters are invited to navigate not just the physical currents but also the undercurrents of love, responsibility, and the hope of forging a new, shared horizon.
