The Mediterranean, specifically the islands of Ibiza and Formentera, become the evocative setting to enjoy one of the best summer plans and, without a doubt, the most fashionable. We are talking about GUESS for CLOVIS, the exclusive collaboration between the well-known fashion brand and the historic vessel that defies all expectations.
GUESS for CLOVIS Experience
For the second time, the emblematic brand and the jewel of classic navigation join forces to offer a Mediterranean experience of another level, sublime and avant-garde. Revealing the beauty and power of the wind and sea at their fullest expression.
Guess and the summer ‘big plan’
First held last year among the Aeolian Islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea, this joint experience celebrates its new edition in one of the most internationally recognized summer destinations: the Balearic Islands. Their crystal-clear waters attract lovers of the most authentically Mediterranean vacations every summer. And aboard the Clovis, the journey becomes one of those experiences enjoyed to the fullest and kept in memory forever. On the evocative vessel, the fortunate guests enjoy services created entirely tailor-made so that every moment at sea is an absolutely premium experience.
Because it is hard to imagine a better plan to personally savor the Mediterranean way of life in an exclusive key than doing it aboard a sailboat with history and, at the same time, equipped with top-level comforts.
As proudly stated by Paul Marciano, creative director of GUESS, “the GUESS for CLOVIS initiative marks an exciting chapter in the brand’s universe, organically and effortlessly combining fashion, luxury, and exclusive travel experiences.” Furthermore, the brand’s Chief Creative Officer adds that, “with this collaboration, GUESS celebrates the beauty of the Mediterranean and the sophisticated lifestyle it represents, offering guests an unforgettable journey defined by elegance, discovery, and escape.”
A sailboat with its own soul
Built in 1983 at the French shipyard Chantiers Navals de Biot, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, the Clovis is one of the best-known projects of the influential naval architect Dominique Presles, who passed away in 2019. The sailboat, with a timeless and exquisite design, was brought to life thanks to the work and mastery of experienced and passionate artisans.
With 85 feet – or 25.3 meters – in length, the vessel, constructed with a teak deck and aluminum hull and superstructure, has recently undergone a comprehensive remodel. It retains its classic beauty and seafaring soul intact and can comfortably accommodate up to six guests distributed in three cabins, along with a crew of four people.

Beyond its iconic and slender silhouette, one of the most recognizable in the entire Mediterranean, the interior of the sailboat is another of its great treasures. The reason? Its decoration has been designed and executed tailor-made by GUESS with the aim that immersion in the fashion brand’s mood, in this case in a summery and navy key, is total and absolute. That is why the well-known house logo stands out with its presence in numerous details and exclusive accessories such as sails and flags, including the large bow sail – or gennaker – GUESS & North Sails. Also bearing the Italian brand’s seal are the bedding, paddle surf (SUP) boards, and yoga mats, all available to clients and designed to make the sailing experience unparalleled and satisfying.
An exclusive journey
Travelers aboard the Clovis have at their disposal great classics of summer pleasures such as sailing at sunset, enjoying starry nights, or waking up to wonderful views that will remain forever in the mind’s eye.
On the deck, a spacious cabin to relax on cushions, also personalized by Guess, serves as a meeting point for Clovis passengers to have fun during the journey among friends or enjoy a refreshment or a glass of wine accompanying a delicious meal. Because the best gastronomy is also enjoyed onboard, completing an adventure that at all times is an exaltation of the five senses, both for fashion lovers and for those who enjoy the most exclusive maritime experiences.
In the center of the deck on the deck, another privileged area of the sailboat, guests can lie down to sunbathe on comfortable mats while the breeze of the Balearic Mediterranean evokes charming moments. This is the spirit of the holidays aboard the GUESS for CLOVIS: enjoying the simplest and most satisfying things in life through an experience that elevates recreational sailing to another level.
The union of the global brand and the iconic sailboat makes the promise of embarking on an unforgettable journey come true from the very first moment. In this way, Guess exceeds all expectations to embark, both figuratively and literally, on one of its most surprising and evocative projects.
And that turns the Mediterranean summer into an experience in itself, with personality and character, and designed to the millimeter with the ingenuity, love for fun, and rebellious glamour of Guess. When refined luxury, wonderful landscapes, and top-level onboard experiences come together in one place, the result can only be extraordinary and memorable. And that is 100% Guess for Clovis.
