Alfa Mario

A DAY ON THE YACHT

From the first day of your charter vacation in Croatia, you will be surrounded by beautiful nature, a helpful and competent charter crew and luxurious yacht amenities, which will all serve to upgrade your holiday experience.

All of the cabins aboard ALFA MARIO yacht charter are wonderfully appointed and comfortable, so you will feel rested and energized each morning, ready to tackle the daily challenges of a thrilling charter itinerary.

After you finish your morning routine, step onto the side deck and observe an incredible Adriatic morning, with the summer sun already starting to heat up the air and the sea. Lean against the stainless steel handrails and let the shimmering Croatian Adriatic hypnotize you for a short while, before you feel the craving for some breakfast.

You can pick between eating outside, in an alfresco environment or stepping into the salon and enjoying the most important meal of the day in an air-conditioned space.  Breakfast will be served on a buffet table, and there will be many delicious foods to choose from, starting with several different types of granola and cereal.

Milk will be either plant-based or dairy-based, with many different tea options, as well as freshly ground coffee. Breakfast pastry will also be plentiful: croissants, french toast, Croatian and regular pancakes, bagels and more.

There will also be plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, all locally sourced from Croatian farms, with the addition of eggs (premade or made to order) and deli meats, including sausages, salami, prosciutto and similar choices.

After you sufficiently stock up on a delicious breakfast, you can start to enjoy all the wonderful opportunities and amenities that ALFA MARIO yacht charter offers to its guests. Start with a quick sunbathing session on the sundeck and bask in the splendour of the sun`s warm rays.

Work on your tan while the members of your charter crew serve chilled cocktails, which will cool you off in crucial moments. At any time, if you feel too hot, instant refreshment is just several feet away. Jump into the crisp Croatian Adriatic sea as soon as you have had enough of the summer sun and feel instantly rejuvenated.

The swimming platform on ALFA MARIO is a perfect launching pad for getting in and out of the sea, with swimming ladders and freshwater showers, smartly integrated into the architecture of ALFA MARIO`s stern.

After some sun and a short swim, relax in the shade of the upper deck hardtop, enjoying the comfort of the sun cushions and sunloungers, thinking about what to do next.

Depending on ALFA MARIO`s course, you can expect an opportunity to get up close and personal with the beauty of Croatia`s indented coastline or the charm of some lively coastal settlements or picturesque fishing villages.

Relax in the comfortable salon until ALFA MARIO arrives at her destination and then decide on what to do next. Organise other members of your charter party and play with ALFA MARIO’s water toys. Jump on the jet ski and race against the waves or find tranquillity and peace on the stand-up paddleboards.

Explore all the marvels of the Croatian coastline with snorkelling gear, observing the lively activities on the seabed. Animals and plants of all shapes and sizes will create an aquarium of incredible volume and variety, where all people can get in touch with nature without limits.

Take your pick between an infinitely large amount of private beaches, where you can enjoy total privacy and absolute peace, before returning to ALFA MARIO for a quick lunch. Enjoy a family-style lunch and taste excellent dishes like a fish soup made by following traditional Croatian recipes, followed by freshly-caught fish or a choice of meat from the grill.

The side dishes will consist of steam-cooked vegetables or butter-fried vegetables; there will also be rice, potatoes and pasta as sides, seasoned with garlic, lemon, local olive oil and parsley. After you have sufficiently filled up on lunch, choose to relax in the comfort of your air-conditioned cabin where you can watch TV, read a relaxing book or your favourite magazine.

Also to consider is the sundeck, where the warm summer sun works wonders on anyone that wants to experience total relaxation, or just slowly sip a delicious hand-made cocktail.

When you have sufficiently rested from lunch, return to having fun on the water – free dive, swim, snorkel or play with other water toys made available on ALFA MARIO yacht charter. Between getting in and out of the water or enjoying refreshing beverages and snacks, you will notice the slow but steady transition from day to dusk.

Once the sun touches the horizon for the last time, return to your cabin and get ready for an entertaining evening aboard ALFA MARIO yacht charter.

Before the fun starts, sit for dinner and enjoy the fantastic dishes made by the competent team of chefs on ALFA MARIO`s galley. Start your dinner with a Ceaser salad, followed by a lentil soup sprinkled with lemon zest and an Adriatic seabass, sided with arugula and spinach over brown rice.

Finish with traditional desserts, like vanilla ice cream with elderflower syrup and coconut shavings or a classical tiramisu. After a fantastic meal, take your place on the main deck aft and let the evening`s entertainment begin.

Let your charter crew book a Croatian band, who will entertain you and your charter party with wonderful live music, great for dancing or as background noise while you enjoy the overall atmosphere with your family and friends.

On the other hand, you could also relax in an alfresco setting of the upper deck and experience the tranquillity of an Adriatic evening: warm and soft sea breezes, the gentle thumping of waves against ALFA MARIO`s sturdy hull, the smell of salt and the starry sky above.

If ALFA MARIO is berthed near a Croatian seaside town, take this opportunity to explore and investigate the appeal and charm of a typical Adriatic settlement – the stable stone building, polished cobblestone streets and lively interactions happening all around you.

Experience street performers, artisan shops, open-air concerts and other events that take place during the summer, in every coastal town in Croatia.

YACHT CHARTER DINING

Once you start your yacht holiday in Croatia, be prepared to step into a world of mouthwatering delicacies and an abundance of tasty foods and delicious dishes. The galley aboard ALFA MARIO will serve a wide variety of breakfast dishes, in a buffet style.

This means that you will enjoy a range of tasty morning foods like French toast, Croatian pancakes or hand-made smoothies, as well as granola, deli meats, eggs, plant and dairy-based milk, fresh fruits, tea and coffee; there will even be sweet and savoury breakfast pastry.

Snacks and beverages will be available 24/7, and even dishes made for order are a possibility, but always inform your crew of any special gastronomic intentions beforehand.

Lunch can include dishes like pasta salad with chicken or tuna and a spicy seafood soup, followed by lobster escargot with salmon caviar, creamy Adriatic mussel risotto layered with avocado and crème fraîche.

Dinners are usually more intricate, with dishes similar to freshly caught squid with young spinach and sweet potatoes, served with a Croatian red wine reduction, tender chicken breast with butternut squash or roasted rack of lamb with a sweet potato puree, sided with steam-cooked carrots and broccoli.

Vegan and vegetarian options will also be available, with dishes like a crispy grilled eggplant with Brussel sprouts, poured with balsamic syrup.

YACHT MAIN DECK

Before you board ALFA MARIO yacht charter, the first thing your will notice is her modernly-designed hull and superstructure – in line with every other contemporary yacht you can spot on the water. The combination of an all-white paint job and squared black windows communicates a sense of stability, which is appreciated by all charter guests.

Looking from the main deck aft, guests can move alongside the wide side decks until they hit an intersection. This part of the main deck separates the necessary crew facilities, like engineering, electrical and the crew mess from the accommodations reserved for guests, which are placed on a path leading from the amidship to the bow of the main deck.

An important addition to the crew facility block is the day head, located right beside an additional cabin, usually reserved for the tour guide. Once the side deck ends, guests can use one of two staircases and climb to the upper deck or enter the interior main deck hallway, which leads to the cabins located on this deck.

There are a total of 7 double cabins on the main deck, with the 7th cabin being placed in a non-linear position, which will surely attract the attention of guests looking for something out of the ordinary.

YACHT UPPER DECK

The upper deck salon is designed in accordance with charter cruiser standards. Wide floor-to-ceiling windows let in tons of natural light during the day, enabling a bright and inviting atmosphere.

The wooden floor exudes groundedness and stability, while 4 dining tables accommodate all the guests aboard, sitting them on plush and comfortable dining chairs. Nearby, a fully stocked bar gives an opportunity to enjoy a pre-lunch or a post-dinner cocktail, without leaving the atmosphere of the upper deck salon.

The polished chandeliers above each table reflect incoming light and disperse it around the entire interior, bringing the impression of the shimmering sea directly to your dining table. The tables themselves are set to an unformal, but still luxurious way, with silverware and black velvet tablecloths.

The upper deck aft alfresco area is designated as a lounge and relaxation area, with a gigantic U-shaped bench that follows the entire length of the upper deck stern. Here, guests can put their feet up and unwind, while following ALFA MARIO`s cruise trajectory.

As the panorama changes between the shimmering sea and the lush greenery of Croatian islands, enjoy refreshing beverages and the comfort of the lounge bench, while you chit-chat with other members of your charter party. The state of the teak on the upper deck aft is extraordinary, so expect to feel nothing but smooth and sturdy surfaces beneath your feet.

YACHT SUNDECK

The sundeck on ALFA MARIO yacht charter is a place where guests can relax under the sun and enjoy the awesome panorama as this wonderful yacht slowly cruises alongside the beautiful Croatian coastline.

There is enough room for 2 dozen sun loungers, which are comfortable enough that guests often fall asleep under the warm embrace of the summer sun in Croatia. The cherry on top of the sundeck is definitely the centrally-placed jacuzzi, big enough for 6 people.

This arrangement of the sundeck is perfect, because guests will constantly be swapping places between the sun loungers and the jacuzzi. There are a few things more luxurious than sitting in the bubbly heaven of the jacuzzi, as your dedicated crew serve perfectly chilled champagne; enjoy the atmosphere of the Croatian Adriatic sea as you soak all your troubles away.

The jacuzzi is the perfect de-stress mechanism for guests wanting to escape the worries of everyday life and totally relax in their private piece of Croatian Eden.

YACHT LOWER DECK

YACHT CHARTER ACCOMMODATION: TWIN CABIN

Following a grey and beige colour combination, with orange details, the twin cabins aboard ALFA MARIO yacht charter are furnished in a contemporary manner, so guests can experience the feeling of modern luxury.

Separating the two twin berths is a singular nightstand, atop of which you can expect a complimentary bottle of champagne, the first time you step foot into the twin cabin.

The windows are absolutely massive when compared to the overall size of the cabin, meaning that guests will enjoy plenty of natural light all throughout the day if they choose to spend any time in their cabins. The lamps hang freely from the ceiling, which is an interesting addition to an already marvellously arranged cabin.

YACHT CHARTER ACCOMMODATION: DOUBLE CABIN

The double cabins follow the same modern approach to decor and furniture, as is the case with the twin cabin. The main difference is that the double cabin has lighter colour tones present; white and beige glossy surfaces on the walls and ceiling bounce off any incoming natural or artificial light, accentuating it tenfold.

This gives a sense that the cabin is bigger than it really is. Your first impression of the double cabins will surely lead you to compliment the designer who envisioned ALFA MARIO`s double cabin. All the furniture is modern, with matte orange details, that go well together with the white gloss impression of the cabin.

A nightstand is placed on each side of the berth, coupled with a lamp, hanging from the ceiling. The ensuite is exclusively all-white and equipped with everything needed for guests to do their morning routine or prepare for an evening of fine dining aboard ALFA MARIO yacht charter.

All other cabins aboard ALFA MARIO yacht charter are, more or less, the variation of the same theme: contemporary furniture and a modern feel, with plenty of white gloss surfaces and orange details.

Each cabin is also equipped with a compact desk with a chair, so guests can do some unexpected work or some light reading; they can even take meals into their cabin. The size of the windows will depend on the location of the cabin – the main deck cabins will have full-sized windows, while the lower deck cabins will be equipped with portholes.

Even these portholes come in different shapes and sizes – their form depends on the hull and the position of the cabin. Regardless, all the windows and portholes have blackout blinds for blocking out the sun entirely, when guests need privacy or just want to sleep in.

YACHT CHARTER ACCOMMODATION: VIP CABIN

The lower deck double cabin has an attribute that is not noticeable anywhere else: a bathing tub is placed in the same living space as the berth, with the head being separated in the ensuite. This creates incredible opportunities to enjoy a warm bubble bath while being able to communicate freely with your partner, laying on the berth.

Regarding this special cabin, there is also an ensuite, equipped with a shower cabin, a head and a sink – a more traditional approach to hygiene than the case of the bathtub in the living area. Decorated with modern relief tiles, the all-white colour theme of the ensuite closely follows the decor of the other ensuites onboard ALFA MARIO yacht charter.

YACHT BEACH CLUB & SWIMMING PLATFORM

Approaching the beach club of ALFA MARIO yacht charter is the easiest way to board this fantastic vessel, because it is very close to the sea and just several steps divide you from the main deck aft. It is also possible to board using the portside side deck passarelle, but this is only necessary when berthing in a large marina, where manoeuvring space is limited.

Stay close to the sea on your yacht vacation in Croatia by spending time on the swimming platform and beach club on ALFA MARIO yacht charter. Soak up the sun`s rays and work on your bronze tan until you feel the summer heat. Thankfully, the refreshing Croatian Adriatic sea is only a jump away.

The crystal clarity of the water beckons charter guests to dive right into the fresh sea and swim in a private atmosphere. Depending on the location of ALFA MARIO yacht charter, you might get to experience a particularly beautiful part of the Croatian coastline, like swimming in a secluded cove or diving in a turquoise lagoon.

Entering and exiting the water, as well as swapping water toys, will be the easiest thing to do while you are on ALFA MARIO`s swimming platform.

YACHT WATER TOYS & WATER SPORTS

When it comes to having fun onboard, ALFA MARIO yacht charter offers her guests a chance to get close and personal with the Croatian Adriatic sea in a fun and secure way. Besides her amenities on deck, ALFA MARIO also has a wide selection of water toys.

The most popular one is the jet ski, which allows guests to move through the water in a fast, but totally secure fashion. The jet ski could be used to explore the hidden beauties of the Croatian coastline or simply fly through the waves and experience ultimate freedom.

Ask your charter crew about basic tips and tricks when it comes to handling a jet ski and do not worry- there will always be a member of the charter crew keeping a close eye on any charter guest who decides to spend time on water toys, regardless of their type.

The Sea bob is another popular choice among charterers because it satisfies the guest`s curiosity, regarding the secrets of the Croatian Adriatic seabed. Feel like you are flying beneath the sea and observe the lively seafloor below you. Spot many interesting specimens of flora and fauna, as you glide through the water like a dolphin.

Also for the guest`s consideration, there are two kayaks and two stand-up paddleboards, both of which can provide you with countless hours of fun on the water. Try to race with kayaks with the members of your charter party around your yacht charter or do balancing yoga poses on your stand-up paddleboards.

Finally, you can ask your crew to tow you with the tender, while you sit tightly on the donut. Try to endure for the whole ride, but even if you do fall down, the only real risk is getting wet.
