A DAY ON THE YACHT

Booking a charter vacation in Croatia means that you will get to cruise in the last unspoiled sea in all of Europe. The clarity and the cleanliness of the water will be such that you will not want to ever leave, extending your yacht holiday until the last second, and even booking a charter for the next year, even if your first one is not done yet. Being part of such a pristine environment is a privilege, especially if you booked DISCOVERY yacht charter.

Croatia has many interesting locations and unique environments, but none are so enchanting than the South Croatian Adriatic sea and its crowning jewel, the city of Dubrovnik.

Also known as “The Pearl of the Adriatic”, the enchanting Dubrovnik is a place full of medieval architecture, cultural riches, and ancient history, as well as exclusive nightclubs and Michelin restaurants.

Also, picking Dubrovnik as your starting location allows you to get intimately acquainted with the enchanting allure of this beautiful medieval gem. Arriving in Dubrovnik will also be really easy, since the nearby Dubrovnik airport hosts many flights, coming and going all around the world.

Talk to your well-connected local broker from SuperYachts Croatia and enjoy a 5-star VIP shuttle service, that will transport you from the airport, and straight to your yacht.

On the way, you can delay boarding DISCOVERY yacht charter and instead opt for a quick tour of all the major monuments in Dubrovnik. A consensus has been reached in the yachting community, that it is a matter of fact that travellers should experience at least Dubrovnik twice – once during the day and once in the evening, to get the complete Dubrovnik experience.

In accordance with this fact, you may want to take the first stroll in Dubrovnik, returning from your day trip to Šipan island in the evening, and then visiting again, once the cover of darkness has fallen and the flickering lights illuminate the medieval architecture with a dance of light and shadows.

Once you set sail for your day trip destination, sit on the flybridge and relax as the passing atmosphere lulls you into a trance-like state, enchanted by the beautiful nature and the tranquillity of the sea.

Enjoy a cocktail or a glass of premium champagne and DISCOVERY yacht charter will arrive in Šipan in no time. Upon arrival, your yacht can anchor in a secluded bay for a surrounding that is befitting a yacht lunch. Alternatively, DISCOVERY can head straight toward the main port o the island, Šipanska Luka.

Regardless, you and your charter party will be famished after such a transit, but the forward-thinking stewardess has already prepared several dishes to introduce guests to the wonderful world of Adriatic cuisine. Starting with a fresh seafood salad, guests will enjoy a black squid risotto, followed by a traditional dessert of the region, Dubrovačka Rožata.

A menu centred around native dishes, made with local ingredients will satisfy even the deepest of hunger, after which the guests will be ready to tackle the secrets of Šipan islands.

First, they may start by playing with DISCOVERY`s water toys in secluded coves, a private bay or one of many picturesque beaches that litter Šipan`s shoreline. The two most popular ones are located in Sudurad and Šipanska Luka; these are gravel beaches that are perfect for families with children. Guests who are prone to privacy will also get to pick between one of the countless private beaches, which will be really easy to reach with DISCOVERY yacht charter.

Guests who love land-based adventures may be tempted to climb the highest peak of Šipan island (243m), which offers astounding views of the Dubrovnik maritime region.
Enjoying the charms of Šipan island will make time fly by, and in no time at all, guests will be returning to DISCOVERY`s decks, as the last rays of the sun fill the horizon.

As per the arrangement, your yacht will return to Dubrovnik, offering a second glimpse into the enchanting evening atmosphere of Dubrovnik. Also, thanks to the efforts of SuperYachts  Croatia`s logistic team, you and your charter party will delight in sampling the cuisine of 360, Dubrovnik`s Michelin-star restaurant.

After a fantastic tasting menu, take a stroll through the well-lit streets of Dubrovnik and enjoy an authentic medieval atmosphere in the evening.

YACHT CHARTER DINING

Since DISCOVERY yacht charter has only two members of the crew, enjoying bespoke dining every day will be difficult without a dedicated chef. Instead, your hard-working stewardess will prepare most of the meals, but you can also organise a cooking tournament, to see who among your charter party can prepare the best Adriatic tuna.

Also, the Croatian Adriatic is full of family-owned restaurants, where guests can enjoy the taste of traditional dishes made by using local ingredients and old recipes, creating the perfect Adriatic dining experience. Alternatively, there are 10 Michelin restaurants in Croatia, and DISCOVERY yacht charter can reach 9 of them fairly easily (depending on the starting location of your charter holiday in Croatia).

YACHT MAIN DECK

The renowned naval architects at Nuvolari & Lenard managed to create a yacht that is both pleasant to observe and formidable in the way she is embraced by the sea. Her sleek profile exudes a sporty attitude, while her smart and contemporary interior décor manages to keep the attention of her loyal charter client base, season after season.

It is customary to start a tour of a yacht from her main deck aft. On DISCOVERY yacht charter, this area is equipped with a long, stern-placed sofa bench, with a fixed dining table and several movable chairs. This is usually the main dining area for guests on a charter holiday in Croatia, due to the relaxing alfresco environment, but also because the flybridge hardtop provides enough shade for guests to enjoy their food, protected from the sun.

Before guests step into the main deck interior salon, DISCOVERY has an ace up her sleeve in form of a front-facing sunbed, located on the main deck bow. Reachable from the main deck aft, this area is perfect for guests who want to work on their tan in privacy.

Yacht charter accommodation: main salon & dining area

The modern and hip design of the main deck interior salon makes this area a favourite place for charter guests to enjoy their drinks in an air-conditioned environment.

Straight lines and futuristic angles combine to an atmosphere that is both inviting and contemporary, while smartly framed and positioned windows provide plenty of natural light, which intersects with the modern lines of the space, creating a truly luxurious and futuristic environment.

Despite its relatively compact size, the modern lines and smart arrangement of the interior salon elements create a sense of a much bigger space. This is also due to the layout of the salon being slightly angled, which separates the main salon area from the helm station and the galley, located forward.

Lastly, the bare wood floors go great with leather upholstery, following the flow of energy from the entrance, past the lounging area and into the dining section of the salon, where guests will be able to

FLYBRIDGE

To reach the flybridge, guests need to use the portside staircase that connects the main deck aft with this awesome space. There is a circular dinette, located right next to the stern; this space is chosen by charter guests who want to enjoy the panorama while DISCOVERY yacht charter is underway.

A retractable bimini can extend over the stern, providing shade for guests who want to spend their time in a comfortable and elevated position, without being exposed to the sun. Next, a fridge, an ice maker and a sink combo are located on the starboard side, between the dinette and the comfortable mattress, nestled between the exterior helm station and the flybridge windshield.

The portside helm station offers great a great vantage point of DISCOVERY`s forward trajectory; it is also a great place to chit-chat with your captain. All in all, the flybridge aboard DISCOVERY yacht charter offers great opportunities to enjoy fresh sea air in an elevated position

YACHT LOWER DECK

There are a total of three cabins on DISCOVERY`s deck: a master cabin, a VIP cabin and a convertible twin cabin.

Yacht Charter Accommodation: The master cabin

By stepping into the master cabin, guests will notice very futuristic lines, with a decoration tone similar to the main salon. The full beam layout of this cabin allows the queen size berth to be placed underneath one set of windows while facing the other set on the starboard side. This allows guests to enjoy beautiful views right from the comfortable confines of the master.

Since the entire cabin is on a sunken level, the ceiling is very high, considering DISCOVERY`s length, which also contributes to the overall feeling of spaciousness and inviting atmosphere that exudes from the master cabin.

The layout of this cabin also allows for a sofa which elevates the comfort level of the space, but also a compact table with a chair, which will enable guests to enjoy a meal in their cabin or reply to an unavoidable e-mail.

The ensuite`s décor features dark-brown wood surfaces and white polished panels and is also equipped with a head, a sink with a very spacious countertop, a bidet and a shower cabin with a wooden floor.

Yacht Charter Accommodation: The VIP cabin

The bow-placed VIP cabin is a perfect choice for guests who want to sleep soundly, during their yacht vacation in Croatia. This is because the berth is positioned following the centerline of DISCOVERY yacht charter, granting extra stability and lesser rolling than in the other cabins.

There is a single porthole on the port and starboard sides, providing daylight and a view, but a ceiling window will deliver a truly wonderful visual experience in the evening or plenty of fresh salty air, coming in straight from the sea.

The features of the VIP`s décor are similar to the rest of the accommodations aboard DISCOVERY; modern and futuristic lines, mixed with dark wood frames and white leather panels.

Yacht Charter Accommodation: The twin cabin

The twin cabin provides ideal accommodation for children if you are planning a family-friendly charter in Croatia; the berths are comfortable, the atmosphere in the cabin is snug and there is plenty of natural light, thanks to two starboard portholes.

Separated by a single nightstand, the twin berths have a big mirror above each of the headspaces, providing an illusion of depth in this cabin.

YACHT BEACH CLUB & SWIMMING PLATFORM

While DISCOVERY is underway, the swimming platform is used to transport the tender, but once the yacht stops, this area becomes the main focus of attention for guests aboard this yacht.

One of the best amenities aboard DISCOVERY yacht charter is her hydraulic swimming platform, which can be lowered above or below the sea’s surface, creating a mini beach.

Imagine, you are sitting on a chair on the swimming platform, which is then lowered into the sea, providing guests with a sense of sitting in their private infinity pool.
There is no better feeling than sitting in the water and drinking cocktails while enjoying the sound of the waves and the cooling touch of the Croatian Adriatic sea.

YACHT WATER TOYS & WATER SPORTS

The amount of watersports on DISCOVERY yacht charter is amazing when her overall length is considered. Her main accessory is the Williams 104HP tender, which will come in handy when guests will want to experience a particular coastal settlement or just explore an uninhabited Croatian island.

The tender will also be able to tow several different water toys, including waterskis, a wakeboard, and a donut. Each of these requires a different technique to master: the wakeboard is the hardest, similar to surfing, with the skis being a moderate-difficulty option and the donut being a favourite among children.

There is also plenty of snorkeling equipment, so guests could enjoy all the riches of the Croatian Adriatic seabed. Finally, some fishing gear will enable willing guests to try to catch their dinner, which the charter crew will gladly prepare.
