Maoro

A DAY ON THE YACHT

Let the summer season in Croatia transport you into a world unlike any other you have witnessed so far. Emerald isles protruding out of the azure sea and your yacht, slowly cruising between picturesque Adriatic locations – everything will seem like a dream.

Cruising aboard MAORO yacht charter will be an enjoyable activity and you will not want to stop moving between lush green islands, each one offering something different. Start your Croatian adventure by climbing aboard MAORO yacht charter in the marina. You will recognize the yacht by the crew who will set up a welcome on the dock, hailing you with chilled champagne and icy towels.

Once you step aboard this fabulous yacht, you will immediately be swept off your feet by her incredible design. While you tour the yacht with your stewardess, pick your accommodations and allocate your charter party to theirs, before climbing onto the flybridge, just as MAORO picks up speed and departs the marina. Once underway, relax on the flybridge and enjoy the cruise, with a hand-made cocktail in your hand and freshly made canapes or sushi.

Observe the ever-changing Croatian panorama as you plan the very first day of your Croatian yacht holiday. Since you departed from Split, the islands of Šolta, Brač and Hvar are right at your doorstep, so why not ask for a beach recommendation from your local charter crew. Let your crew take you to a secluded beach, where you can enjoy your lunch.

Depending on your preferences, each of these islands offers something different, be it privacy, beautiful nature or enticing gastronomy. Since Šolta is closest to you, you might want to consider making this island your first stop; despite the crew welcoming you with champagne and canapes, you can feel that an excellent seafood lunch could really be the first on your priority list.

MAORO yacht charter has only 2 crew members, which is great for creating an intimate and family-friendly atmosphere, but it does put a limitation on what you can expect in regards to dining on a yacht.

The stewardess can prepare incredible dishes, but the galley onboard lacks the capacity to satisfy every possible craving a charter guest is used to receiving when dining. For that reason, it is sometimes prevalent to dine in exclusive restaurants.

Besides there being 10 Michelin restaurants, scattered all around the Croatian coast, there are dozens of top-notch fine dining restaurants, as well as quaint family establishments that offer the freshest produce and seafood imaginable.

Rely on the local know-how of your crew to recommend the best restaurant on Šolta island, for you and your charter party to enjoy. With pre-reserved tables, all you have to do is show up and be amazed at the freshness of the seafood and the terrific wine list.

Start with a deli platter, consisting of local cheeses and prosciutto and continue with black risotto, a classic Croatian Adriatic dish. You may also want to try freshly-caught scampi in a white-wine sauce called “buzara” or the famous “peka” way of preparing food i.e. a cast iron bell is covered with hot coals with the food inside, which allows it to cook slowly in nothing but its own juices.

Besides the food, you are just going to love the large selection of authentic Croatian wines, many of which are autochthonous sorts awarded medals from prestigious European and global competitions.

When you are done with your lunch, you might want to digest your food in a shaded beach bar, before you return to MAORO yacht charter and head towards your next objective, the Paklinski archipelago, found near Hvar island.

This cluster of isles has a very indented coastline, perfect for enjoying the water toys aboard MAORO yacht charter in complete peace and privacy. Once you arrive to Paklinski islands, be prepared to enjoy beautiful nature, as well as the crystal clarity and the incredible cleanliness of the sea. Freedive, swim and snorkel or enjoy a spin on one of many water toys that MAORO has on demand for charter guests.

Use the jet ski and explore the surrounding area, looking for secret coves and interesting scenery. You could also ask one of your charter party to head out with you on standup paddleboards and use the fishing equipment to try and catch your dinner.

Fishing in the Croatian Adriatic sea always yields something; your first catch may not be a spectacular king-fish, but it may provide an excellent conversation piece around the dining table. Once the sun begins to set, return to MAORO yacht charter and head to Hvar town, located on Hvar island.

The marvellous architecture of this ancient city will dazzle you with historic palaces and houses, as well as incredible walls and other defensive fortifications, such as towers, bastions and battlements.

As you transition into a warm and sweet summer evening, walk in the cobblestone streets of Hvar town and enjoy the buzzing atmosphere of travellers from all around the world.

There will be many street vendors and merchants, selling souvenirs and finger foods, as well as plenty of artisans and street artists, who will display everything from pantomime and circus stunts to playing instruments, singing and acting. All of the Croatian coastline lights up with activity during the summer, and Hvar town is no exception.

There will surely be a major event, like commonly-occurring gastro festivals known as Fishermen`s nights, where the catches of the day are grilled and sold at half price. Or a Medieval Fair, which will celebrate the historic heritage of Hvar island, as well as showcase some interesting traditions and folklore.

When you have taken in everything that Hvar town has to offer, return to MAORO yacht charter for the afterparty. Let your stewardess open bottle after bottle of premium champagne as you enjoy the comfort of your yacht charter and the excellent atmosphere of a typical Croatian summer. Tomorrow will be even better.

YACHT CHARTER DINING

The great thing about MAORO yacht charter is that, despite her length, she can offer a sample of fine dining on a yacht, like olive and marjoram tart with tuna carpaccio and lime dressing or brie-stuffed chicken with oven-dried tomatoes and soy-braised cabbage. But, without a dedicated chef, it will be hard for your stewardess to balance between her deck duties and the preparing delightable dishes.

It is for this reason that charter guests aboard MAORO often enjoy their dinners on shore, in one of 10 Michelin restaurants in Croatia, as well as countless charming restaurants and quaint family-owned eateries.

You can always rely on the local know-how of your experienced yacht crew to take you to the best restaurants or to present a secret; out-of-the-way sites of some of the best restaurants in the Croatian Adriatic sea, the locations of which you could not discover on your own.

YACHT MAIN DECK

You will remember MAORO yacht charter for her incredibly stylish and modern interior with sleek surfaces and smooth lines. Once you board this excellent vessel, you will be immediately taken by the open concept of the main deck. Azimut clearly did something different with the 68S Series, and it shows in every corner of the deck on MAORO.

Boarding this beautiful yacht from the beach club means that guests climb to the main deck aft by using the starboard staircase. Once here, they can relax in the comfortable lounge area, consisting of a sunbed and a sofa combo. Continuing on, to port is the alfresco dining table, with several movable chairs joining them to create a wonderful exterior dining arrangement.

Because this dining area is covered by a semi-hardtop, you can sit at the table at any time of day or night and not be bothered by changing weather conditions. The best thing about the entire main deck on MAORO yacht charter is definitely the hydraulic roof of the main deck salon.

This feature totally transforms this entire area, effectively creating one big veranda on the main deck when it is opened, and a classic yacht interior salon when it is closed.

Also, being able to let sunshine directly into the salon is a feature that really brings you closer to the elements and the beauty of the Croatian Adriatic sea. MAORO yacht charter offers another location for sunbathing, on the sun matrasses located on the bow of the main deck.

This location will be ideal for a relaxing sunbathing session in complete privacy since you will be shielded from curious gazes by the profile of the yacht. Also, while you enjoy the Croatian sun, your dedicated crew will provide refreshing beverages and tasty snacks, as well as organic oils and vegan sunscreen, to keep your skin hydrated and healthy.

YACHT LOWER DECK

When you first arrive on MAORO yacht charter, you will inevitably fall in love with the lower deck, Once you explore it, you will want to spend all your time in the full-beam master cabin and not move at all.

Besides the master, 1 twin cabin and 1 VIP double cabin will offer accommodations for a total of 6 guests. The galley is also located on the lower deck, but thanks to great spatial design and excellent airflow, there will be no traffic jams or lingering scents.

Yacht charter accommodation: master suite

To be able to pronounce something a “stateroom” on a yacht of 21 meters is a feat of naval engineering one must not neglect. Thanks to innovative spatial design, the master stateroom on MAORO yacht charter is really something special. Its full-beam design allows it to behave like a true stateroom, featuring a full-sized table, with 2 sofa chairs.

This area can be used as an alternative dining space, but when closed off, it gives this master an incredible amenity not a lot of superyachts have, even those extending toward 50 meters in length. The cabin is also split at levels, with the dining arrangement slightly raised above the berth level.

Both the port and starboard sides have innovative glass surfaces, arranged in box patterns, something also not seen very often in superyachts. There are numerous plants that make this stateroom come alive, in combination with burgundy leather coverings for some of the wall surfaces, adding an extravagant dash to the already stylish atmosphere.

The floor is covered with bare wooden floorboards, accentuating the already natural vibe of the master. All in all, this accommodation puts to shame most staterooms and suites on yachts that measure 50 meters or more.

Yacht charter accommodation: twin cabin

The twin aboard MAORO yacht charter is compact, but still offers enough comfort and space for guests to rest and relax. Separated by a single nightstand, the two single berths are excellent accommodations for children, while their parents stay in the master suite. When it comes to the ensuite, it is standard, featuring a shower cabin, a head and a sink.

Yacht charter accommodation: double cabin

The bow-placed double cabin is minimalistically furnished, with dimmed colours, dark wood and portholes on either side of the cabin. These portholes can open to supply the cabin with plenty of fresh sea air, as well as daylight.

The raised berth platform features a queen-sized berth, which offers great stability for sound and easy sleeping, because it is placed in the centerline of the yacht. The location of this double cabin also allows for excellent sound insulation. This cabin also contains an ensuite bathroom, equipped with a shower cabin, a sink and a head.

YACHT BEACH CLUB & SWIMMING PLATFORM

When it comes to the beach club aboard MAORO yacht charter, it is in unison with the overall design of the main deck aft. Because of the wide sun mattress placed on the stern of the main deck and the proximity it has to the swimming platform, this whole area becomes one big beach club. You can communicate with your friends on the swimming platform, while comfortably resting on the main deck sun mattress.

MAORO`s modularity, when it comes to re-purposing space, is something that becomes apparent the moment you step forth on her swimming platform. Because of it, you can enjoy all the amenities of a versatile beach club, just as you would on superyachts that measure 50 meters or more.

Sunbathe in comfort with a cocktail at arm`s length; when you get too hot, take 2 steps and jump into the refreshing Adriatic. Nothing beats MAORO`s multifunctional naval architecture, especially apparent in the beach club and swimming platform section of the yacht.

YACHT WATER TOYS & WATER SPORTS

Considering her length, MAORO yacht charter has a surprisingly large amount of water toys on offer. Guests can relax on 2 stand-up paddleboards and find serenity and tranquillity, as they gently paddle between the many bays and coves provided by the indented Croatian coastline. SUPs are ideal water toys for guests to also stay active on their holiday, because you alone determine the intensity of the paddling.

Combined with snorkeling equipment, SUP can also serve as platforms from where you can scout and dive for shiny abalones or skeletons of sea urchins, both of which make unique souvenirs, that will always remind you of your perfect charter holiday in Croatia.

Your captain will also be able to tow you on 2 pairs of waterskis or a donut, creating a spectacular ride and an atmosphere of a private water park. MAORO yacht charter is also a perfect yacht from which you can try your luck at fishing. Ask your local yacht captain to take you to locations where native Croatian fishermen go to catch fish and enjoy reeling in your dinner; your stewardess will happily prepare it for you.

Finally, a jet ski is the quintessential superyacht toy, and for good reason; it is a smaller version of your yacht. By giving you unparalleled mobility and ultimate freedom, the jetski is equally fitting for coastal exploration and flying over waves, while the aquamarine Adriatic splashes all around you.
