A DAY ON THE YACHT

Wake up on MARINO yacht charter and consider going for a refreshing swim in the crisp Adriatic. Every sailor guarantees that there is no healthier or more practical method for instantly waking up – it is even better than a cup of coffee.

Once you are finished with your swim, climb over the swimming handrails and head straight to the main deck aft alfresco area, where the breakfast buffet is already set and waiting for you.

Dry yourself off and sit at the table to enjoy a well-rounded choice of pastry, drinks, cereals, meats, fruits and vegetables. Finish eating and consider your next move.

You could spend the rest of your day just lounging around the yacht and enjoying her water toys. On the other hand, once the sun sets, a visit to shore and partying in one of Croatia`s coastal towns could also be fun.

But before all that, you should finish with your breakfast and head to the flybridge, from where you can better judge the surroundings and more carefully assess your potential plans.

Scouring the horizon, you might look upon a particularly pretty piece of coastal heaven, in the form of a secluded cove, shielded with pine trees and with an approachable beach. With your eyes on the potential prize, you could politely ask the captain to anchor in that location.

Once you approach the chosen location, let your captain anchor MARINO yacht charter in the distance and approach the shallower waters by tender. While you seek shelter beneath pine and cypress trees, your hard-working crew will prepare all the amenities necessary for you to enjoy a brunch on the beach.

Surrounded by a soft carpet of fallen pine leaves, you will be able to enjoy a totally private and peaceful atmosphere. Look up and be amazed by the intricate patterns made by the leaves of trees, gently swinging in the wind. Breath in the salty air and experience a sensation of serenity with nature and oneness with your surroundings.

You could take another swim before sitting at the picnic table set up by your expert crew, or you could indulge right away in the mouth-watering brunch dishes: roasted red pepper soup and primavera stuffed chicken with sweet potatoes, with hand-made icecream for dessert.

Once you have finished eating, consider returning to your oasis of peace under the trees and take a quick nap. Afterwards, refreshed and ready for more, ask your crew to bring all the water toys on the beach, so you could launch them from land and learn the basics dry.

Satisfy your thirst for adrenaline and have fun to your heart’s content, racing against your friends, being pulled on inflatable toys and discovering hidden underwater treasures with snorkelling gear.

After all that excitement, you are finished for the day, returning to MARINO yacht charter and letting the crew pack all the amenities. For dinner, you enjoy roasted asparagus with bruschetta shrimp pasta, paired with some excellent Croatian white wine.

Dined and relaxed, you could extend the party, opening a few more bottles and starting lengthy discussions with your charter party. Reading the room, you realize that all your friends have had enough, and you reach a singular conclusion: go to bed and wake up early tomorrow because there were a couple of good ideas you wanted to try out, like going out partying in one of Croatia`s lively coastal towns.

YACHT CHARTER DINING

With 23 meters in length, MARINO yacht charter can not offer the same number of courses as yachts of 40 meters or more. But what she can do is make sure that every meal is rich in texture and variety, with a quality that rivals her lengthier counterparts.

The one thing that MARINO does have, and the rest of her competition does not, is a cosy atmosphere, with a tight-knit crew creating a uniquely homey vibe, not usually present at bigger or more formal dining tables.

Do not think that the galley on MARINO yacht charter is not capable of creating dishes like parmesan-fennel rolls served with coffee-rubbed hanger steak with brussels sprouts salad that go excellently with specially prepared desserts like yoghurt tarts with lavender and caramelised figs.

A journey of enjoyment through multi-sensory plains, every meal aboard MARINO will be different from the previous, creating a seamlessly never-ending chain of dishes, one better than the other.

An alfresco experience on MARINO, be it lunch or dinner, is sure to bring a smile to your face, with the chef preparing dishes like slow-cooked sourdough peasant bread combined with spaghetti with sun-dried tomatoes, sausage, and spinach rose and raspberry meringue tarts.

YACHT MAIN DECK

Stepping onto MARINO`s swimming platform, a starboard stairway will bring you up to the main deck aft alfresco dining area. Here, a wonderful U-shaped lounge sofa curbs the stern and surrounds the dining table, providing sitting for 8 guests.

The cherry-wood dining table is modular and can be made to fit a different number of guests. Located to port is a staircase leading up to the flybridge.

Yacht charter accommodation: main salon & dining area

Stepping into the salon from the main deck aft, guests immediately find themselves in a surrounding filled with cherry-wood panelling and white furnishings.

The contrast between the wood and the white ornaments and details greatly accentuates any daylight that stops on white surfaces and bounces from the polished wood panels. The elongated U-shaped sofa surrounds a stylish table, creating an inviting lounge area, where guests can sit, relax, watch some TV or have a laugh.

Complementing the U-shaped sofa is a corner-placed addition, offering more sitting space. Moving onto the elevated dining area, guests will need to pass over 2 steps, which make the whole front of the boat seem separated from the lounge area, but still part of it.

Here, the dining table is located starboard and placed right across the galley, which is more than capable of producing and satisfying every gastronomical craving guests on MARINO could have or want.

Moving forward from the dining area is the interior helm station, with an L-shaped sitting arrangement to starboard, from where you can keep an eye on the cruising situation and trajectory. The main deck forward hosts another area for enjoying the sun in the form of 2 large sun pads located just in front of the interior helm station, transforming it into a mini-sundeck.

YACHT FLYBRIDGE

The flybridge presents a surface that is mostly covered in beige leathering, with white gloss panelling that covers the weather-proof areas of the vessel. A bimini shields the front exterior helm station, providing cover from the sun when it is needed to pilot MARINO from the flybridge.

Across the helm station, to starboard is a wonderful C-shaped sofa and a coffee table, where guests can relax with a glass of champagne in their hand and enjoy the view that the elevation of the flybridge provides. Soak up the panorama of numerous beautiful islands in the Croatian archipelago and the shimmering sea.

When the engines reach their full potential and MARINO picks up speed, there is no better place to be than on her flybridge An epitome of elegance and grace, with the wind in your hair and the gentle sun on your skin, there is truly nothing better than to feel like you are on the top of the world with MARINO yacht charter.

YACHT LOWER DECK

The design of the lower deck on MARINO is strongly reminiscent of the style that was hugely popular with ocean liners in the 20s and 30s. Borrowing from that, MARINO creates a totally unique atmosphere, inviting and charming on one hand and historical and retro on the other, forming a style that is totally different from other, more contemporary luxury yachts.

All the cabins have their own ensuites that are decorated in the same manner as the rest of MARINO – cherry wood panelling combined with light and bright details. When it comes to sleeping arrangements, MARINO yacht charter can accommodate 8 guests in 4 cabins. These include one master cabin, one VIP cabin and two twin cabins that can be converted into doubles.

Yacht Charter Accommodation: The VIP cabin

The VIP cabin is located in the bow, with light and bright details and an equal amount of glossy cherry wood like on the rest of the boat. Besides the cherry wood cabinetry, which provides masses of space for putting all your belongings, the VIP ensuite also strongly features polished cherry wood panels and details.

The queen-size berth offers enough room for comfortable rest, while a mirror placed directly above the berth head-space transforms the VIP into a much longer and wider cabin than it actually is. Daylight is always present in the VIP, thanks to portholes on both sides of the hull.

Yacht Charter Accommodation: The master stateroom

The full-beam master stateroom is truly lovely, decorated with classical cherry wood panelling and beige and white details. Featuring a sofa to port and plenty of shelf and drawer space in numerous cabinets and closets, the master feels like a blast from the past, a beckoning call from the glorious day of travelling the seas in complete luxury and style.

The soundproofing is done superbly, so that you sleep tight every night, without even realising you are at sea. When it comes to the master`s ensuite, it is decorated in style with the rest of MARINO: polished cherry wood and rugged white surfaces. Equipped with a sink, a head and a compact shower cabin, this ensuite has all a guest needs for an enjoyable charter holiday in Croatia.

Yacht Charter Accommodation: The twin cabin

MARINO`s twin cabins can be converted into doubles, to provide versatility when picking and choosing sleeping arrangements. Both the twin cabins are well-appointed when it comes to decor and amenities.

Featuring mostly polished cherry wood panels and cabinetry, the twin also has several while surfaces that contrast the glossiness of the wood. The twin berths are divided by a nightstand, which features USB ports, light switches and air-conditioning.

Above the nightstand, a mirror reflects daylight that comes in through the portholes, while also creating a sense of depth in the twin, making it seem bigger.

YACHT BEACH CLUB & SWIMMING PLATFORM

The swimming platform on MARINO yacht charter offers an excellent opportunity to swap water toys quickly and without getting wet. Since the swimming platform is so close to the main deck aft, you could converse with members of your charter party while passing drinks from one level to another.

Enjoy this uniquely-intimate atmosphere, complemented by the excellent service of your charter party aboard MARINO, as well as the beauty of the Croatian Adriatic sea.

YACHT WATERTOYS AND WATER SPORTS

MARINO yacht charter hosts an enviable list of water toys for a yacht of her size. With a jet tender, a jet ski, water skis, monoskis, wakeboards and plenty of snorkelling equipment, be prepared to spend lots of hours having fun in the Adriatic Sea.

There is also a wide selection of inflatables: a tube, a banana and two donuts, that can also guarantee a thrilling time on the water.

Organise your afternoon so you could have as much fun as possible. Try out all the toys, starting with the jet ski. Regardless if it is your first time on the jet ski or you are a seasoned veteran, you will enjoy the sensation of water splashing all around you, as you fly through the waves with ease and speed.

As soon as you are done, hop on the inflatables and let the member of your crew pull you through the water, aiming to get the most bouncy-ness out of the sea’s surface. Remember, your dedicated crew will always have your safety as their highest priority.

Afterwards, swap the inflatables out for a more stable surface, like water skis or wakeboards. More technically challenging than the inflatables, holding your balance will be a fun and exciting thing to learn.
