Life on board

Yacht charter vacations usually have an image of being very relaxing and laid-back, filled with quietude, harmonious and leisured ambience. However, that’s just one side of a coin. Those with a passion for adventures may easily write in adrenaline into their free time on board a yacht and use their chartered vessel as a playground for fun activities.
If you plan a family charter or a cruise with your friends, and you want to take the most of adrenaline-fueled activities by conquering new horizons, choose a yacht with a variety of water toys.
Charter yachts in Croatia feature a wide range of tenders and various sports equipment to entertain guests of all ages. During a yacht cruise kids and grown-ups collect wonderful memories full of adventures and joy spending hours snorkeling, scuba diving, wave running, seabobbing in balmy Adriatic waters.
Croatia offers a great deal of beautiful surroundings and idyllic conditions to enjoy life under the sun. It is fun canoeing near ancient walls of Dubrovnik, casting about Pakleni islands next to Hvar town or going below the waves for snorkeling in the crystal-clear turquoise waters of the Adriatic and watching a kaleidoscope of a fairy-tale like underwater world near Korcula or Vis.
Delve into the sea for a scuba diving session during a yacht charter cruise in Croatia. Meet wonderful fishes, colorful coral reefs, and examine wrecks at numerous diving sites near the coastline. Just remember, in order to allow yourself a finger-tip access to the underwater cosmos, make sure you hold all the necessary certificates. Specify in advance if a charter yacht features a qualified scuba diving professional on board. If no, a yacht crew will organize rendezvous diving for you.
Members of a yacht charter team will accompany you on a journey with inflatables above the sea level. They will also prepare sets of water skis, SUP or a paddle board for you to skim over the Adriatic.
Besides water sports sessions guests of a charter yacht in Croatia are welcome to enjoy other activities such as hiking trails surrounded with pines on Brac island in order to enjoy breathtaking views of famous Golden horn. Some chartered gulets, sailing or motor yachts also feature fitness equipment engaging guests in healthy lifestyle activities.
Spending a day with your loved ones above and below the sea level, sharing life-lasting experiences and enjoying great times, you’re guaranteed to be at peace with the world and of course to have an appetite worked up after a day full of sea odysseys. To satisfy it, head back to the aft deck or an air-conditioned comfortable saloon and enjoy a rendezvous of a three-course meal prepared by your own private chef. Afterwards it is only up to you how to map out time: to relax with a favorite book under the shade laying on a sunbed or head to town for shopping or a visit to local historical and architectural sites. Chartering a yacht is all about freedom of choice.

Chartering a yacht in Croatia means going on multiple journeys at the same time. Adventures consist of sea odysseys in the Adriatic with water toys (scuba diving, snorkeling, wakeboarding, seabob for underwater fun, waterskiing),going on a jaunt with local Dalmatian culture & traditions while visiting new towns and villages, islands and parks, exploring the art of sailing. And let’s not forget of course a really exciting trip through delicious culinary experiences on board a yacht.
Meals prepared by yacht’s chef from fresh and local ingredients will bestow you with a caravan of wonderful emotions, as food and drinks is one of the most important parts of your time when on a cruise with a charter yacht.
Guests’ preferences are key priority to a chef when he thoroughly handpicks every dish and creates a menu for each yacht charter. Prior to the cruise, the cuisinier reviews with guests their special dietary requirements. When a yacht journey starts, he cooks breakfast, lunches, and dinners taking into consideration culinary specifications of charterers.
It is also possible to choose either guests want to have a menu influenced by local Croatian flavors (a delicious blend of Italian, Balkan, Ottoman, and Greek cuisines),or enjoy a mix of tastes of international cuisines.
A professional and welcoming stewardess serves each dining rendezvous at a beautiful aft deck either under the shade while the sun is up or under a canvas of stars in the evening, forward deck or in a spacious and comfortable yacht saloon.
If you prefer, the crew will help organizing sundown parties, an aperitif, or a cocktail rendezvous at one of the yacht’s decks. Special occasions such as birthday parties or business meetings that include exclusive dining experiences will also be prepared to your taste.
