DON CIRO | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

A charter aboard DON CIRO in Croatia feels different when the crew is this in tune with what guests want most: comfort, confidence, and time well spent together. Captain Sergio Barbalic leads a team of 5 with the reassurance that comes from more than two decades of experience on everything from classic yachts to modern motor yachts, always with a calm, guest-first approach. Beside him, Engineer Senaka Galbada and Deckhand Adalberto Para help create a journey that feels steady, smooth, and full of quiet competence, whether you are island hopping or settling into a serene anchorage. Chief Stewardess Sanja Knez and Stewardess Maite Nieves Moras Spencer complete the welcome with thoughtful service that feels warm rather than formal.

Onboard dining is where Chef Lorenzo Stallone leaves a lasting impression. His career through 5-star hotels, gourmet restaurants, private villas, and luxury yachts has shaped a style that feels polished, generous, and perfectly suited to long summer days in Croatia. Each menu is designed with care, so meals feel tailored to the charter's mood, whether that means something light and fresh after a morning swim or a beautifully prepared dinner enjoyed in the evening breeze. His calm presence in the galley adds to the rhythm onboard, making every dining experience feel effortless for guests.

Beyond the visible moments, what makes this crew so effective is how naturally their strengths translate into the guest experience. Sanja anticipates needs with genuine warmth and strong organization, while Maite brings composure, reliability, and an attentive eye that helps everything feel easy and personal. Adalberto brings enthusiasm to deck life and water-based fun, giving the charter extra energy, while Senaka’s extensive engineering background offers peace of mind that everything onboard is being cared for. In Croatia, DON CIRO is not just about beautiful places; it is about enjoying them with a crew that makes you feel secure, spoiled, and completely at ease.

7-Day Sample Motor Yacht Charter Itinerary in Croatia:
Your Croatian escape begins in Split, where the Benetti SD105 luxury crewed motor yacht DON CIRO awaits to welcome you for a customized 7-day Croatia yachting itinerary. There is something special about watching the city fade into the distance as the Adriatic opens ahead, promising a week shaped entirely around your idea of a rewarding charter. Some guests come for the water, others for the history, the food, or the coastal atmosphere, and Croatia has a way of delivering all of it with striking ease. From day one, the journey feels less like a schedule and more like a series of experiences thoughtfully arranged around you.

For those drawn to underwater adventures, old stone towns, and dining that becomes part of the destination itself, this charter creates room for all of it. The Boatbookings team will coordinate with your crew to build a Croatian itinerary that feels polished, personal, and deeply enjoyable, making sure every day has its own character. One moment might bring a swim in crystalline water, the next a stroll through a historic port rich with atmosphere, followed by a beautifully prepared meal back onboard as the coastline glows in the evening light. It is this balance of discovery and ease that gives the trip its enduring appeal.

DON CIRO is also available for charters in Montenegro, where the journey becomes a graceful progression of scenic passages, sunlit anchorages, and coastal stops that reveal the beauty of the Balkan Coast. Montenegro offers a different but equally compelling mood, with dramatic backdrops, inviting waters, and charming harbors that reward slow cruising and time on deck. The setting feels cinematic at every turn, yet never loses its sense of calm and comfort. It is the kind of charter that lingers in your memory long after you have stepped ashore.

Overview:
There is a certain ease to life aboard DON CIRO that makes Croatia feel even more inviting. The elegant Benetti SD1015 luxury motor yacht pairs classic styling with a small-ship feel, giving guests a charter experience that is both intimate and impressively well-equipped. She is made for days filled with open water, lively lunches, quiet corners, and scenic arrivals, all supported by amenities that encourage both relaxation and enjoyment. Every detail feels arranged to help guests settle into the best version of summer on the Adriatic.

The sundeck is one of those places that keeps drawing everyone back, whether for the panoramic view of Brac’s remarkable karst limestone, the inviting lounge, the open-air dining area, or the line of sunbeds waiting in the sun. It is easy to picture a slow lunch here, followed by an afternoon drink in the cushioned seating area as conversations drift between the people around you and the scenery beyond. Up front, the foredeck lounging and main sunbathing area offer a bright and peaceful spot to take in the morning sea, while the jacuzzi adds another layer of pleasure as the temperature climbs. By evening, anchoring near Dubrovnik for an alfresco feast before an evening walk through the picturesque port and vintage streets brings the day to a memorable close.

Crossing into the interior, DON CIRO continues to impress with a look that feels refined without sacrificing comfort. Her saloon and indoor dining area combine modern and classic Italian design through a palette of off-white, ash, and dark teak accents, producing a warm setting that feels polished yet welcoming. It is a beautiful place to escape the midday sun, enjoy a relaxed meal indoors, or simply let the pace soften for a while. The décor has a timeless quality that suits the yacht’s character and makes the onboard atmosphere feel complete.

The same sense of comfort carries into the cabins, where each guest can retreat into a peaceful, well-designed space with an ensuite private bathroom. These cabins are made for proper rest, whether after an active day exploring ashore or an afternoon spent moving between the yacht’s outdoor spaces and the sea. With the coastlines of famous Dalmatian beach clubs to explore, the rich marine ecosystem of Vis to discover, and a full lineup of water toys and activities available onboard, DON CIRO keeps the experience engaging from start to finish. It is the kind of yacht that makes every stop feel worth anticipating.
