A DAY ON THE YACHT

Since you first began to think about a yachting vacation in Croatia, undoubtedly you stumbled upon interesting facts and information about the glorious city of Dubrovnik and its beautiful maritime region. Know as the “Pearl of the Adriatic”, Dubrovnik is brimming with history, culture and heritage, all wrapped with a ribbon of modern yachting facilities, airports, Michelin restaurants and exclusive nightclubs.

Once you arrive at Dubrovnik airport, you can arrange your own transportation to the yacht marina or have SuperYachts Croatia organise a VIP transfer directly to the dock. Also, it is advisable to leave your tour of Dubrovnik city for later and more appropriate times, seeing that from noon until late afternoon, hordes of tourists descend upon Dubrovnik, making the atmosphere not-so-romantic.

Also, the heat can be too much for sensitive guests; it is then recommended to visit Dubrovnik in the evening, and to witness the spectacular play of light and shadow on the faces of medieval churches and palaces.

When you arrive at the Dubrovnik yacht marina, the crew of SECUNDUS yacht charter will greet you at the dock and welcome you with a glass of perfectly chilled champagne.
Moments after, the chef will already be in the galley, continuing to prep for lunch, while the captain prepares to cast off. Meanwhile, you can follow the stewardess on a quick tour of the yacht and your accommodations in the lower deck.

Once SECUNDUS yacht charter is underway, find a seat on the flybridge and enjoy the cruise, trying to spot your destination on the horizon. The Elafiti archipelago consists of several islands in Dubrovnik`s backyard (a distance of 8 nautical miles), and the most charming of the lot is definitely Lopud. The island of Lopud has several hundred permanent inhabitants and is perfect for a day trip.

Regardless of the high number of land-bound visitors, SECUNDUS yacht charter will provide the means of finding the perfect private bay, where you can anchor and enjoy eating lunch and playing with water toys in peace.

Once you arrive near Lopud, observe your experienced captain as he finds the perfect anchoring spot in a private bay, sourrounded by sounds of turquoise waves and crickets. Here, you can enjoy your yacht lunch, starting with sesame and lemon-marinated shrimp on a cherry tomato and couscous bed, followed by a fresh salmon with radish sour cream and carrot puree and a traditional Croatian pie with crumbled hazelnuts and hand-made chocolate.

After lunch, you will get an opportunity to play a wide selection of water toys aboard SECUNDUS yacht charter. Get yourself thourghly acquainted with the Croatian Adriatic sea and the many opportunities for fun and excitement it offers. Whether it is above or beyond the sea level, be sure that the diversity of the toys and the professional assistance of the crew aboard SECUNDUS will provide a perfect stage for countless hours of unforgettable thrills and laughter.

When you are done having fun on the water, explore all the secrets of Lopud island, starting with a hike to the highest point of the island. Polačica peak is only 216 meters high, so it will be very easy to reach and enjoy the absolutely stunning panorama of the Elafiti archipelago and the eastern Croatian mainland.

Also, Lopud is an island with two absolutely stunning beaches; upon your arrival, you might want to anchor near Sunj or Lopud village and enjoy the best beaches on the island. Sunj is a beautiful sandy beach and one of the main reasons why people come to Lopud in the first place, while Lopud beach is located near the main settlement of the island.

Also, be sure not to miss the Lopud Botanical gardens – you can walk straight from your yacht and into the gardens, since the entrance is on the main seaside promenade. Enjoy the exotic atmosphere created by plants from all around the world, as well as real Roman and Greek statues and ruins, harmoniously merging with the vegetation, creating a surreal atmosphere.

As you spend an enjoyable afternoon on Lopud, discovering its many secrets, you will notice that it is starting to get dark. This will be your cue to return to SECUNDUS yacht charter and get ready for a Michelin dinner under the stars. For this to unveil, your captain will switch between locations, finding one that is equally private and peaceful, for you to enjoy the enchanting atmosphere of the Croatian Adriatic sea in the evening.

Savour the calmness of Lopud in the evening as you taste dishes like eggplant lasagne, stuffed with basil, zucchini and balsamic vinegar, followed by beef tartare with local Croatia cheese from Pag island, mustard and capers, and with a nice crème Brulee for dessert.

By eating on the flybridge, you will feel like floating above the sea in a palace of light; truly an enchanting atmosphere. After dinner, you may want to indulge in a little romance, by preparing and lighting floating lanterns, prepared by your hard-working charter crew. It is customary to make a wish before letting the lantern float up into the air and join the others in a gentle dance with the wind.

For the last part of the evening, you may want to finish by organising a movie night with your charter party, or play some social and board games at the interior salon dining table. Since this is only the first day of your charter holiday in Croatia, you have to look forward to many more exciting things during your time on SECUNDUS yacht charter.

YACHT CHARTER DINING

Since SECUNDUS yacht charter has a designated chef, you will get to experience all the charms of dining on a yacht.

Be sure to fill out the preference sheet in detail, before leaving for your yacht charter holiday in Croatia, so there are no surprises and everything goes as planned. From the very first moment you arrive aboard SECUNDUS yacht charter, the chef will only use fresh ingredients that were specified as preferred by you and your charter party.

This means tasting dishes like hand-made rice noodles with parmesan cheese steam-cooked cauliflower, after which you can expect something like breaded pistachio lamb ribs with anchovy croutons and bell peppers and a chocolate flan with vanilla ice cream and pine nuts for dessert.

YACHT MAIN DECK

The exterior profile on SECUNDUS yacht charter follows the latest trends in naval architecture – sharp lines with smooth transitions between surfaces and edges, but also a sleek finish. It is easy to observe that she is brand new the fabrics are pristine, the silverware has never been touched and her decks give off a scent of a “newly-opened book”.

Starting from the main deck aft, there is a wide sofa covering the length of the stern, with staircases both to port and starboard, leading down to the swimming platform. Thanks to the modular coffee table, guests will have the option of enjoying a lounging or dining arrangement, transformed in seconds by members of your dedicated charter crew. Before entering the main deck salon, use the side decks to reach the incredible front sundeck, located on the main deck bow.

The fabulous bow sundeck aboard SECUNDUS yacht charter will be your one-way ticket to enjoying incredible vistas of the Croatian Adriatic sea, while also relaxing on comfortable sunbeds. Enjoy the multi-level sunbed with other members of your charter party as you scout the horizon with the binoculars provided by your generous captain.

Also, you may call the stewardess at any time, if a need for cocktails and snacks should arise. Bask under the warm sun and work on your tan or have the crew pull out the bimini setup, which will shade the entire sunbathing area and create a cool aura, so you can play cards or read in absolute comfort.

Although you could spend an entire day lounging at the front sundeck, sooner or later you will have to return to the main deck aft or the main deck interior salon.

Yacht charter accommodation: main salon & dining area

The layout of the salon is very simple; right off the entrance, a lounging section made up out of armchairs, a big sofa and a coffee table, with the dining table being located a little bit forward from this area. This simple, yet effective layout also highlights the minimalistic design of the interior salon.

On the starboard side, across the dining table, is the interior staircase leading up to the flybridge, while more forward is the galley and the interior helm station. The aesthetic impression of the salon is strict minimalism, joined with tendencies toward airiness, openness and brightness. This is achieved by allowing the free flow of air and energy, starting from the swimming platform, to the main deck aft and straight into the salon.

Also, the big windows illuminate the salon, regardless of the time of day, and bring out the main colour (grey), used in many different shades; also, different textures are used on the same colour, to give it a different impression or to bounce light off in a different mannor, thereby creating an impression of a different colour. Because turquoise details subtly contrast the grey base, the colour arrangement in the salon mimics the sea outside, bringing harmony and a natural vibe into the interior.

YACHT FLYBRIDGE

The flybridge on SECUNDUS yacht charter will connect you to the broader Adriatic horizon, thanks to its elevated position and great viewpoints. Starting from the stern, a big C-shaped sofa arrangement provides a second option for alfresco lounging, while further forward is the second alfresco dining option, made out of an L-shaped sofa and several movable chairs, along with a big table.

Right across this dining arrangement is the wet bar, which will be useful to the charter crew who will serve guests with chilled drinks and healthy snacks. The port-placed dining table is located right beneath the modern hardtop, meaning that guests will get to enjoy alfresco meals in shade during the day.

YACHT LOWER DECK

The lower deck aboard SECUNDUS yacht charter is able to accommodate 8 guests, allocated in one of 4 cabins. These include the full-beam master cabin amidship, a VIP cabin located on the starboard side of the lower deck and 2 twin cabins, one of which features a bunk bed arrangement.

The single berths can accommodate adults or children, which depends entirely on the nature of your yacht charter holiday in Croatia.

Yacht charter accommodation: twin bunk cabin

When it comes to design, there is not much difference between all the accommodations aboard SECUNDUS yacht charter, including the twin bunk cabin.

This is because the designers used s specific colour (grey) on every deck of this yacht, but by adding different overtones, managed to produce entirely different atmospheres in each of the cabins. Nevertheless, despite its spatial restrictions, the twin bunk cabin provides equal comfort to all the other cabins, although with somewhat limited legroom.

This primarily relates to the tender and the jet ski, the two most biggest and versatile toys. Both of these will provide guests with a means of swiftly moving across the water and exploring bays and beaches not accessible to SECUNDSU yacht charter, due to her draft.

The tender will be able to tow guests who will want to try the water skis or the inflatable donut.
