Cruise the Croatian Coast on your Luxury Yacht Charter!

The Croatian coast on the Adriatic Sea is well-established on the holiday scene. The coast is ideal for a boating holiday, with so many islands and ports there are plenty of places to travel around, to and from. Yet along with these, there are still plenty of secluded areas where you can escape from the rest of the world. Choosing to explore the sea on your own boat gives you a far better chance to see more, as the ferries will not stop off at every small island, whereas with your own luxury yacht you can!

The 350km worth of Dalmatian coast welcomes you with medieval towns, impressive landscapes and beaches ranging from sandy to pebbly. Add to this picturesque ports and peaceful coves, Croatia cannot help but to entice you to come and visit. With more than 1400 islands at your fingertips, many of these are still unspoiled and offer a pristine island to explore. Croatia's beaches are ranked as some of the cleanest in Europe, so it only makes sense that its seas are clean and clear too. Take the chance to cut through the waves on your luxury yacht charter today!

Chartering TUGARKA, a gorgeous Ferretti 881, is a fantastic way to explore the Adriatic Sea around Croatia. She can accommodate up to 10 guests in 4 cabins, so is a great choice if you want to enjoy a Mediterranean holiday with your friends. TUGARKA has a well experienced crew, who know the Croatian waters like the backs of their hands, so they will know the best spots for tourism and the bustling beaches, but they will also be able to take you to the islands which are visited by fewer people, so you can see escape the hustle and bustle and visit the almost untouched areas of Croatia. She also has a great range of water toys, ranging from towable toys to jet skis, so you can also make the most of the warm seas.

Another reason to Charter a Luxury Yacht!

Yesterday, we published our first blog trying to convince you that chartering a luxury yacht was one of the best experiences in the world. Today – we will show you another reason, especially if you’re a ‘foodie’, why you should charter a luxury yacht in 2013! We were recently inspired by the food on show at the Antigua Yacht Show 2012, having experienced some of the best gastronomy that would match the food in top European kitchens! No matter whether you were on a 60ft Monohull or a 60m Super Yacht and sampling homemade breads and cupcakes to poached lobster and champagne, the food at this years show was truly stunning.

Do you prefer a light lunch? Two of our favourites were a stunning carpaccio of wahoo with a soy dressing and a very simple prawn salad with fresh herbs and bulgar wheat tabbouleh.We were also very impressed with the poached lobster, served on a timbal of mango and cilantro salad with a lobster claw tempura. Charterers with a sweet tooth would have loved the banana cake, which was served with flambeed bananas and homemade vanilla ice cream. The food on board was truly scrumptious!

If you are looking for Luxury Crewed Catamaran with great food, look no further than the Privilege 75, MATAU. This crewed catamaran features 4 cabins, accommodating up to 8 guests with a fantastic can-do crew. The master cabin is quite something and offers incredible space for a Catamaran of this size. There is nothing better after a relaxing days sunbathing than to enjoy a cocktail and canapes whilst watching the sunset before a private lavish dinner. She is in great condition and the open-plan layout makes her a very sociable yacht and therefore, one of the finest in the Caribbean.

Do you need some inspiration where to charter? One of the most popular destinations is the BVI, using Tortola as a start destination. Many people choose to charter in the BVI for the following reasons:

1) There are plenty of islands to explore
2) The weather around Christmas makes for the perfect destination.
3) The water is crystal clear and tranquil
4) Great choice of yachts, including some of the worlds best crewed catamarans.
5) Easily accessible from the U.S.
