Summer 2027 · Sardinia to Corsica
Seven Days. One Vessel. A Lifetime Closer.
A rare, all-inclusive retreat for four couples — sailing Sardinia to Corsica aboard a 54' catamaran, guided by two of the world's leading experts in longevity, intimacy, and the science of lasting love.
Summer 2027
An invitation to something rare
Somewhere between the turquoise waters of Sardinia and the dramatic cliffs of Corsica, something shifts. The pace slows. The noise falls away. And the person beside you — the one you've built a life with — comes back into focus.
This is The Relationship: a seven-day, all-inclusive sailing retreat designed for couples who are ready to go deeper. Not a spa weekend. Not a seminar. A living, breathing immersion into the science and practice of a long, vibrant life — together.

What you'll discover
The science of a life well-lived, together
The Longevity Blueprint
Why do people in blue zones live the longest — and what does that have to do with your relationship? You'll leave with a deep, embodied understanding of the practices that extend not just years, but quality of life.
Nourishment & Pleasure
Every meal aboard The Relationship is organic, biodynamic, and prepared with intention. You'll explore the Mediterranean diet not as a regimen, but as a way of being — and learn how food becomes a daily act of love.
Movement & Vitality
From morning swims in crystalline coves to gentle movement practices on deck, you'll reconnect with your body — and with each other — through joyful, sustainable movement.
Intimacy & Connection
Ashley and Dr. Dave will guide you through the neuroscience and practice of deep intimacy — not just physical, but emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. The kind that deepens with time.
Integration for Life
The real work begins when you disembark. You'll leave with a personal longevity and relationship practice — simple, sustainable, and rooted in the science you've lived for seven days.
The vessel
Meet The Relationship
She is 54 feet of open sky, warm teak, and possibility. Our catamaran — named, fittingly, The Relationship — will carry you from the ancient shores of Sardinia to the wild beauty of Corsica and back, tracing one of the Mediterranean's most storied blue zones.
Seven days. Four couples. One extraordinary journey. Depart from Sardinia, sail north through the Strait of Bonifacio, explore the hidden coves and hilltop villages of Corsica, and return transformed.
Everything is included
- All meals — organic, delicious, and adapted for dietary needs
- All beverages, alcoholic and non-alcoholic
- All expert-led workshops, sessions, and practices
- All excursions and activities ashore
- A private cabin for each couple, equipped with a queen bed and private bathroom and shower
The investment
Only four couples are accepted for each voyage. This is not a conference or a retreat center — it is a private, intimate experience designed to give each couple the full attention of Ashley and Dr. Dave.
