VAUBAN | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

Montenegro’s bays, cliffs, and old stone towns are best enjoyed when the yacht, the route, and the day feel under complete control, and the crew of VAUBAN is built around that promise. You will be guided by an energetic crew of 7 led by Captain Marlies Sanders, whose extensive Mediterranean, Caribbean, and high-latitude experience, plus her Acrew Best Captain award in 2024, means every passage and anchorage is chosen with both pleasure and safety in mind. At her side, First Officer Lisa Maycock brings MCA Chief Officer 3000GT credentials and years on prestigious vessels, managing deck operations and navigation with calm precision, while Chief Engineer Oleksandr Ianovsky quietly maintains the yacht’s heart, keeping systems efficient and secure. Deckhand Stacey Rowling adds a bright, approachable presence on deck, assisting with lines, tenders, and toys, and bringing her fitness-instructor background into active moments on the water. Chief Stewardess Corina Rotaru and Stewardess Yudi Gonzalez keep the flow of the day comfortable and well-orchestrated.

Food quickly becomes one of the ways you connect to the rhythm of Montenegro, guided by Chef Julian Rishmawi’s Mediterranean fusion style. Drawing on early culinary training, restaurant and yacht experience, and a passion for modern technique, he creates plates that feel playful and precise at the same time. You might begin with light, fresh dishes that suit a midday swim stop, then move into bolder, more intricate combinations for dinner as the lights of the coastline appear. Julian designs menus that reflect where you are and how you want to feel, which turns each meal into another highlight of the charter rather than a simple routine.

On the interior, service has a quiet, confident pace led by Chief Stewardess Corina Rotaru, whose strong hospitality background and five-language fluency allow her to read different guest styles and respond without hesitation. She is as comfortable presenting a formal silver-service dinner with caviar and carefully chosen wine as she is arranging a relaxed, family-style evening after a long day in the sun. Stewardess Yudi Gonzalez brings in a fresh energy shaped by her product design engineering past and Canary Islands upbringing, pairing precision with warmth as she manages cabins, lounge setups, and thoughtful touches around the yacht. Together, they turn VAUBAN into a calm, indulgent base for exploring Montenegro, where you feel looked after even before you realize what you need.

Overview:
There is a certain anticipation that builds as VAUBAN comes into view, the Sanlorenzo SL120 Asymmetric luxury motor yacht known for its striking lines and seamless movement through the Adriatic. Every angle speaks to thoughtful engineering crafted to elevate comfort during your Montenegro charter. Positioned along the Montenegrin Coast, she delivers a level of ease and refinement supported by amenities designed for relaxed gatherings, quiet retreats, and sunlit afternoons.

Onboard mornings unfold slowly on the foredeck lounge, where breakfast is framed by fresh air and an alfresco setup that invites you to linger. Montenegro’s mountains and Kotor’s storied waterfront provide the kind of scenery that makes even stillness feel meaningful while lounging on the well-appointed flybridge. As the day develops, the yacht feels perfectly in sync with the landscape, giving you gentle transitions from exploring to resting. When twilight arrives, the aft deck becomes your haven for lingering meals, local flavors, and long conversations carried by the cool shift in the breeze.

Step inside VAUBAN and discover interiors shaped by clean lines and modern warmth. Large windows pull the outside in, creating a bright atmosphere that transforms every corner of the saloon and indoor dining area. Teak details ground the aesthetic with a sense of natural balance. Her ensuite cabins feel generous and serene, offering quiet comfort to recharge after active days along the coast.

Montenegro reveals itself fully as you glide from bay to bay, letting the water set the day’s rhythm. Each stop invites a different kind of joy, whether it is floating above clear shallows or diving into playful moments with the yacht’s water toys. You return to the deck as the light fades, entirely at ease, watching the coastline glow and feeling that soft contentment that only comes from a day shaped entirely by your own pace.
