The professional charter crew are experts of their craft, making charter guests feel pampered and looked after, during the entire span of their holiday on ANTHEA yacht charter.

After a welcoming glass of chilled champagne, the crew will take your bags to your cabins, as you head on a tour of this awesome yacht. Your crew will let you and your charter party choose the preferred cabins, but since every cabin is designed in a contemporary fashion and equipped with every household amenity equally, there is really no difference between them, besides the deck on which they are located.

After you have chosen your cabin home for the next 7-10 days, step outside on the upper deck aft and decide what you want to do for the rest of the day. You can choose between a wide range of interesting and fun activities, like staying active in the gym, relaxing in the sauna or experiencing complete tranquillity in the sundeck jacuzzi.

Taste dishes like roast chicken breast with salt-baked heritage carrots, sweet chilly and peanut-glazed chicken with a red wine reduction, grilled sea bass with potato purée and pine nuts, and for dessert -chocolate mousse over a fresh and local passionfruit salad.

After an awesome meal, you could rest and let your food settle, as you enjoy programs on the wide LCD Tv in the salon or just retire to your cabin and take an enjoyable afternoon nap. This by itself is an unusual thing to do in everyday life, seeing that most charter guests come to Croatia to escape their stressful work environment, where there is no time for napping or self-reflection.

This is not the case on ANTHEA yacht charter, which will be a perfect background for self-improvement and detoxing from the stress of the “rat-race”. Use the swimming platform on ANTHEA yacht charter to familiarize yourself with the beauty of the Croatian Adriatic sea. Utilise the many water toys available for each of ANTHEA`s guests, while your professional crew give instructions on how to ride a certain toy.

Spend hours and hours exploring the riches of the Adriatic with the help of jet skis, wakeboards, stand-up paddleboards and Sea bobs. As the sun slowly begins to set behind the island-filled horizon, you can take your place on the upper deck aft, where an excellent dinner will be waiting for you.

Sit down and taste exquisite dishes like chicken with green beans and steam-cooked broccoli, fresh Croatian Adriatic seabass with motar seaweed, potatoes, on a garlic and olive oil sauce, mint and blackberry-marinated lamb with pistachio and native Croatian cheese dressing, and for dessert – a classic Strawberry sorbet.

The evening`s entertainment could be anything from stargazin to skinny dipping ( if it’s a particularly hot night, which sometimes can happen, particularly if you charter in the high season ). You could also watch a movie thanks to the yacht cinema or enjoy late-night cocktails at the bar in the salon.

Drink with your friends and be merry, then go to bed late and wake up at noon, if you want to. Remember, you are on vacation on ANTHEA yacht charter, a place that is directed and abides by your tempo, not the other way around.

As a side dish, eat fresh fruit and vegetables, procured from local Croatian farms. Beverages will range from coffee and tea, to smoothies, juices and milk – either plant or dairy.

This hallway also connects the cabins on the main deck to the rest of ANTHEA yacht charter. There are two double cabins on the aft part of the interior hallway and three double cabins on the bow part, with regards to the third double cabin, which is more unconventional by design than others.

YACHT UPPER DECK

The upper deck alfresco lounge area is located on the stern, making this space the unofficial living room of ANTHEA yacht charter, creating a homey atmosphere, where guests can sit back, relax and watch over their shoulders at the magnificent Adriatic panorama, while being served premium champagne, hand made cocktails or tasty snacks.

Starting from the stern of the upper deck, an enormous U-shaped alfresco lounge set-up takes up most of the alfresco space on the upper deck.

There is even a day head to starboard, so guests do not need to go to their cabins to wash their hands before a meal.

Stepping outside the upper deck bow, there is a fantastic c-shaped lounge arrangement, with a coffee table in the centre. This area is one of the more prefered choices for when guests want to drink their first cup of coffee in the morning, while still being able to enjoy the view from ANTHEA`s bow.

YACHT SUNDECK

Starting from the stern of the sundeck, ANTHEA yacht charter is equipped with a wide and long platform, full of comfortable sun cushions. This position would be, by itself, a marvellous spot to relax and catch some sun, but it is improved further by the jacuzzi, placed in a way that surrounds it entirely with cushions and padded benches. This way, guests can get in and out of the hot tub at will, changing positions between relaxing on the comfort of the luxurious padding or being embraced by the warm water of the jacuzzi.

Add to this the necessity of drinking a cocktail or a glass of champagne, and you get to experience a truly exclusive feeling of satisfaction and enjoyment. Moving forward from the jacuzzi, movable sun loungers are placed amidship, so guests can enjoy more flexibility when catching some sunlight. A large and wide table is placed centrally on the sundeck, enabling guests to dine in style.

Several feet away, a fully equipped bar will supply the guests with beverages while they spend time in the jacuzzi or support the charter crew as they assist the charter guests with setting up a perfect dining environment.

The sundeck alfresco dining setting is absolutely incredible, mainly because of the naval architecture and design present in this space. The hardtop above the sundeck is carried by an oval parabola construction, which breaks the neatness and tidiness of the decks and creates a dynamic perception of the space.

Because this construction is similar to an arch, nothing disturbs the view on both sides of the deck, which truly brings the outside in, particularly if you want to dine in an undisturbed alfresco setting. The stylish artwork in front of the bar perfectly ties the impression of the whole space together into a coherent and magnificent package. The coup de grace of this area is a fully functioning fireplace, located in the middle of the massive alfresco dining table.

This amenity, so rarely seen on other yachts, mesmerizes with its influence because it unites the two of the strongest elements – fire and water. This feature truly does create an atmosphere unlike any other – even on mega yachts made for billionaires, a fireplace on the sundeck is truly the epitome of yacht charter luxury.

The bridge and captains quarters are placed forward, with staircases on both port and starboard sides running down and connecting the sundeck with the rest of the yacht. There is space for still even more sunloungers, placed directly in front of the helm station windshield. This location offers guests a completely undisturbed view to go with their sunbathing sessions, enabling them to enjoy a clear vista of the glorious blue Adriatic sea.
