After a phone call with your experienced local broker from SuperYachts Croatia, you may want to start your charter holiday from the city of Zadar. Being situated in the middle of the Croatian Coastline, in the region known as central Dalmatia, Zadar is a perfect starting point for your yacht holiday, if you plan on exploring as much of the Adriatic as possible.

Getting to Zadar will be very easy; since Croatia is a member-state of the EU, there are many inter-continental flights connecting the main Croatian coastal cities with the rest of the world.

Zadar is a very magical city, blending a combination between modern life and historic architechture. If you want, inform the crew aboard DONNA DEL MARE that you might want to take a quick tour of Zadar`s Old Town, and they will promptly hire a local tour guide, who will show you the best places in town, as well as share some interesting historical facts, fascinating stories and intriguing urban legends.

Enjoy a hand-made gelato, purchased from artisan street vendors and walk between charming piazzas, using narrow alleys made from white cobblestone. This magnificent atmosphere can only serve as an indication of the incredible things to come, because you decided to book DONNA DEL MARE yacht charter with SuperYachts Croatia.

When you are finished with your quick tour, let one of your crew members escort you to DONNA DEL MARE, while the others wait at the dock with welcome drinks and cold towels, both of which will work wonders on a hot and sunny day.

Climb aboard this magnificent yacht and get to know the interior, while the crew take your luggage to the guest`s accommodation. Once you and your charter party is settled, DONNA DEL MARE yacht charter can start to move towards Sestrunj island, nestled between Dugi Otok island and Ugljan island.

This cozy little island will provide the perfect sourrounding for anchoring in complete privacy and enjoying the beautiful nature of the Croatian Adriatic sea. Upon your arrival, the deck crew will immediately begin the anchoring procedure, while simultaneously taking out all the water toys. As your crew prepare the numerous toys, you and your charter party may want to sit down for lunch, so you have plenty of energy for having fun in the water.

Start with roasted brussels sprouts with bacon and follow up with a pan-seared salmon filet with sautéed spinach and braised red cabbages or a salt beef brisket with pickled blueberries and kale. For dessert, enjoy a red velvet fudge, hand-made by your Michelin-level chef.

After a fantastic lunch, you may want to head straight into the water or relax in the interior salon, where air conditioning makes life easier, especially after a good meal. The Adriatic Sea is a magical place in the afternoon when the summer heat and the refreshing water find a balance that is both rejuvenating and enjoyable. Lose yourself in the turquoise paradise and rediscover your inner child as you play with high-tech yacht water toys, racing and competing with members of your charter party.

If you are not up for this kind of entertainment, you can always sunbathe on one of many comfortable sunbeds aboard DONNA DEL MARE yacht charter or enjoy a relaxing massage, since your yacht provides a designated space for all kinds of massages.

Spend time any way you want; after all, it is your holiday, so whether you want to spend it in the water or by sipping cocktails on the sundeck of your yacht charter, it does not matter – all that matters is that you are happy.

As the hours of the day begin to fade, convene with your charter party and hatch a plan for what you want to do in the evening. You can stay anchored near Sestrunj island and spend the night surrounded by the still and quiet water and the starry sky above, or return to Zadar for a night out.

Since this is your first day of holiday, you concur that a wild night out should not be the highest priority; better to ease into the wild partying, letting the first day pass in relaxation and comfort. It is then decided that DONNA DEL MARE will stay anchored on the spot, meaning that the crew will organise a themed party on the upper deck, so you and your guests could stay entertained.

A yacht charter is a perfect background for throwing pirate-themed or poker-themed evenings, with themed games and food, as well as lots of inebriation. For the afterparty, you can always move the fun on the sundeck and into the jacuzzi, which will end your evening with a bang.

YACHT CHARTER DINING

Since DONNA DEL MARE yacht charter is able to accommodate a larger number of guests than it is usual for a yacht of her size, this will also reflect in the way the food will be prepared and served.

Family-style will be prevalent, although if you want to experience a fine dining meal aboard your yacht charter, inform your crew beforehand and they will happily oblige. Seeing that your chef will have to prepare food for 18 guests, he will most definetly have a sues chef, or someone well-versed in cooking, but who is also the part of the standing crew.

This means that fine dining plating would be somewhat complicated to pull off for 18 people in a galley that is restricted in countertop spaces, but nevertheless, the crew will always make sure that your every wish regarding dining is satisfied. This means enjoying dishes like veal fillet with saffron risotto and steam-cooked broccoli, grilled beef steak with garlic butter and acorn squash or a mango passion fruit tart for dessert.

When it comes to the quality and the quantity of food, DONNA DEL MARE yacht charter will not disappoint, and you have to look forward to dish courses such as chicken with mushroom blue cheese sauce, truffle and croquette, duck confit with spring vegetables & hazelnuts and beetroot salad or a raspberry mirror glaze for dessert.

YACHT MAIN DECK

The profile of DONNA DEL MARE yacht charter is both historic and classic, something every person visualizes when they think about traditional yacht design. She behaves like a mini charter cruiser, able to accommodate a larger number of guests than it is usual, considering the length of the yacht.

You do not see many of these types of yachts these days; her naval architecture, particularly the wide beam and spacious side decks, communicates stability and security. She is also dedicated to clean energy and environmental friendliness, thanks to solar panels instaled on the upper deck rooftop.

One of the main features of the design and the décor in the salon is hand-creafted mahagony, which creates an atmosphere that makes guests feel like royalty.

To get a complete impression of this unique vessel, you will first need to board her by using the sideways passarelle, located on the portside of the main deck. Once you step foot on the main deck, be immediately greeted by a wide side deck, guaranteeing that this vessle is totally walk-around.

The aft of the main deck is reserved for the alfresco dining option, with a table able to seat all the guests in total luxury. Dining in this area, clients will be able to get the best of both worlds; the incredible beauty of the Adriatic on one hand and the excellent service of a superyacht on the other, with Michelin-level cuisine to follow.

Nestled in the starboard corner, right before the entrance to the interior main deck salon, is a corner placed, L-shaped bench. This will be an ideal choice for relaxing in the atmosphere of the main deck aft or enjoying a stiff drink after a good meal while waiting for your friends to finish eating. From this point, you can walk around the main deck by using the side decks, or climb the portside staircase to reach the upper deck aft, but not before entering the main deck salon.

Yacht charter accommodation: main salon & dining area

Right after entering, a member of your crew will greet you from the portside bar with your favourite drink and invite you to sit at the bar and talk about how your holiday is going so far. To starboard, a staircase leading to the aft portion of the lower deck acts as a divider between the bar and the lounge area, located to starboard.

Made out of a regular sofa and several smaller armchairs and tables, this lounge area is excellent for enjoying an aperitif before a meal on DONNA DEL MARE yacht charter. The interior décor of the salon features traditional and historic woodwork, intertwined with light beige upholstery, a grey hard-laced carpet and framed white ceiling panels. There are also plenty of artworks in the salon, creating a quaint art gallery vibe for all the guests.

Moving towards the middle of the salon, there is a very practical day head located to starboard, meaning you can freshen up for a meal without the need of going to your cabin. The amidship of the salon has another flight of stairs, leading guests to the amidship section of the lower deck. After this staircase, a long and oval dining table presents the interior dining option on DONNA DEL MARE yacht charter.

A section of space on the main deck, after the dining area, can be turned into a dedicated massage area, with an ability to be walled off by movable curtains and transform into your private paradise, where letting go of the stress and tension of everyday life is something that will come naturally. The bow of the main deck is reserved for the galley and the crew mess, as well as the tender, the jetski and all the other water toys used aboard.

YACHT UPPER DECK

An incredible number of plants align all the way across the upper deck stern, adding to the overall sensation of nature surrounding you on every step of your Croatian holiday. A simply massive sunbed, equal in width and length to 3 double berths put together, provides several interesting ways of interacting with your charter party.

Sunbathing, laying, sitting, napping or just enjoying the view are just some of the things you can enjoy on this humongous sunbed; it is even long enough to play a game of chess while laying down, and still have enough room for other guests to read a book or a magazine.

This whole area reminds of a garden, with there even being a hammock, hanging from two sturdy stainless steel poles. Not for those of faint heart, the hammock offers a way of getting in the rhythm of the sea, while being suspended in the air.

Before entering the upper deck master suite, there are also 2 L-shaped sofa lounges on the starboard side of the upper deck, and a bar right opposite it, to port. This arrangement creates a beach bar vibe, where guests can sit and enjoy a cocktail, while also chatting with those who choose to relax on the extra-long sunbed.

Yacht charter accommodation: master suite on the upper deck

Occupying the entire interior of the upper deck, the full-beam master suite is decorated with historic fashion and details, following the tradition of using brown wood to communicate luxury.

Furnished with everything needed, the master is equipped with a PC, a TV, a Stairmaster, a comfortable sofa with a coffee table and a chess set ready to play. The office area is integrated into the full-beam master suite, but not walled off, meaning you can use the table as part of your breakfast experience – there is even enough room to organise a private party.

An incredible amount of windows on all sides of the suite make sure that this area stays lit during the day; alternatively, you can utilize the blinds, if you want some privacy. The ensuite is luxurious and equipped well enough to provide guests with a mini-wellness experience.

YACHT SUNDECK

The sundeck aboard DONNA DEL MARE yacht charter will be the place where most of the lounging and after-partying will take place. The main amenities of this space is definitely the jacuzzi lounge, placed in the aft section of the sundeck. The jacuzzi is protected by a fixed bimini, providing lots of shade to any guest who wants to relax in the jacuzzi.

Near the jacuzzi, a stern-placed C-shaped bench will transform the area around the jacuzzi into a self-serving relaxation zone, where guests can simultaneously relax on comfortable sun mattresses or in the warm embrace of the jacuzzi.

There are also movable sunloungers to starboard and a set of L-shaped sofas towards the bow, providing even more lounging and sunbathing surfaces aboard DONNA DEL MARE yacht charter.

The bow of the sundeck is reserved for two rows of very effective sun collectors, which enable DONNA DEL MARE yacht charter to save fuel and run more efficiently, which means a smaller carbon footprint in the environment.

YACHT LOWER DECK

The separation of the lower deck between the aft part and the amidship part is done to provide more privacy to the guests, as well as good sound insulation and more versatility when picking cabin arrangements. For this purpousse, the aft section of the lower deck houses a triple cabin and one double cabin, while the amidship section houses 4 triple cabins.

Yacht charter accommodation: triple cabin

Wood dominates the interior décor of the triple cabin; the majority of surfaces are covered with wooden finishes with different levels of polishedness and different shades of dark.

One single berth and a double berth is an ideal combination for a family with a child; alternatively, you could use the tripe cabin as a double cabin, and use the extra berth as a day bed, for taking short naps or as a sofa, while your better half gets ready for an evening of fun and entertainment aboard DONNA DEL MARE yacht charter.

Portholes provide both sunlight in the evening and ocean sea breezes when opened, bringing the freshness of the sea straight into this cabin.

Yacht charter accommodation: double cabin

The double cabin does not differentiate from the triple cabins, when it comes to the décor. Lots of wood finishings and surfaces make this space look like an outtake from a historic 19th-century ship of the line.

The queen-size berth provides a comfortable resting place, whilst the wide portholes enable enough natural light to be able to enjoy the overall design of this double cabin. This double cabin is best used as an exclusively children`s room or for a pair of charter guests that did not bring any children along.

YACHT BEACH CLUB & SWIMMING PLATFORM

The stern section of the main deck is raised way above the water level, making a traditional beach club and swimming platform impossible. Instead, DONNA DEL MARE yacht charter uses the portside sideway passarelle as a way to bring guests closer to the inflatable beach club, which is then attached to the portside of her deck. This is not the only option of arranging her water toys and auxiliary equipment – they can be set up any way the guests prefer.

This way, guests can still enjoy the atmosphere of a dedicated swimming platform, although it may not be in conventional superyacht form, but DONNA DEL MARE is anything but conventional

YACHT WATER TOYS & WATER SPORTS

DONNA DEL MARE will create a feeling of a private aqua park for her guests in any private bay of their choice. To do this, she will utilize one of many water toys, starting with 16 sets of snorkeling gear, enough for every guest onboard. Imagine that you and your entire charter party go to the water at the same time, discovering and exploring the wonders of the Croatian Adriatic seabed in a group.

As a bonus, a member of your charter party can take pictures using an underwater camera, so you have a group photo of your charter party underwater – talk about unique memorabilia from your yacht holiday in Croatia.

When you are done with snorkling, you may want to switch gears and experience the more relaxed and tranquil side of the Croatian Adriatic sea, by utilizing the kayak or the stand-up paddleboard. These toys provide a means to paddle through the paradise-like atmosphere of the crytal-clear Adriatic sea and to experience its many wonders firsthand. Paddle down a chosen patch of coastline and discover private coves and bays, perfect for a secluded sunbathing session.

When it comes to towable toys, a choice between waterskis, wakeboards, donuts and a banana will be presented to all guests who feel the need for speed. Each towable toy behaves differently when towed, especially the skis and the board, while the inflatable donut and the banana tend to be picked by kids who want to splash, bounce and fly over waves in a frenzy of adrenaline and laughter. On the other hand, if you have never tried to waterski or wakeboard, you are in for a treat.

After a few tries, you will get a hang of the basics and start to enjoy making waves with the board or jumping over them with the skis. And do not worry, the only safety risk is that you fall and get wet.

The jetski offers a unique opportunity to move faster than the waves, traversing big distances in just a few seconds. A formidable vessel, the jetski is both exhilarating and fun to ride, providing guests with unforgettable moments of water-splashing and adrenaline-jumping action.

Finally, dive beneath the surface of the sea with the help of the Sea bob, a toy that will transform you into a fish. Propelled by an electric motor, the Sea bob acts as a forward-engine, pulling the rider above or below the water. This enables you to swim without moving or to dive effortlessly and explore the bio-diversity of the Adriatic seabed
