Friend’s Boat

A DAY ON THE YACHT

There is no better way to experience Croatia in all its glory than by chartering FRIEND`S BOAT yacht charter with SuperYachts Croatia. This will mean that you will receive the best possible charter service, thanks to 24/7 yacht charter support, as well as a local yacht crew, who will be able to provide a service that will go beyond a regular charter experience.

Prepare to witness Croatia like a local, meaning the best and most beautiful beaches, anchorages, restaurants and interesting locations will be disclosed by your professional crew.
As you approach your home away from home, you will immediately notice that FRIEND`S BOAT yacht charter is both instantly recognizable and easy on the eyes, because of her smooth curves and sleek profile.

Board from the stern and be instantly welcomed by members of your crew, who will greet you with premium champagne and finger foods, as well as chilled towels. Before climbing aboard, you will need to remove your shoes, which is a regular thing aboard yachts. This is because the interior is highly stylised with plush and comfortable carpets, which do not tolerate dirty soles or stilleto tracks.

Once you and your guests are settled in your cabins, explore the yacht with your stewardess, who will gladly introduce you to all the special amenities present on FRIEND`S BOAT yacht charter. All the while, your glass will be constantly topped off, either with champagne of hand-made cocktails. At the same time, the captain will start cruising to the first location on your itinerary, which could be anything from a big Croatian coastal town, a vivid island or an uninhabited isle, full of secrets that are ready for discovery.

But first, find a nice and quiet cove so you could enjoy your Michelin-level lunch, prepared with love by your chef. Once FRIEND`S BOAT is anchored, sit at the main deck aft alfresco dining table and prepare to enjoy terrific cuisine in a beautiful and natural environment. Start with a chicken salad with avocado, orange & coriander sauce and continue with a sea bass with asparagus, pepper curry and soy sauce over jasmine rice. Finish with hand-made chocolate mousse with fresh strawberries and raspberries.

After lunch, you might want to relax in an air-conditioned environment, until the worst of the summer sun passes, so you could get into the water and start to have fun. While your dedicated crew take out all the toys, you can finish up your cocktail and have a bet with members of your charter party. Hold a race on the stand up paddleboards; 3 laps around the yacht and your captain will sound the start of the race by blowing the yacht`s horn.

The last to finish gets to open a bottle of champagne while standing on the SUP, simultaneously pouring the glasses of the guests located on the swimming platform. After this fun and interesting competition, dedicate the next few hours to going ashore and visiting a quaint Croatian fishing village. Introduce yourself to the island culture and history of a traditional Croatian coastal settlement.

Visit a “konoba” – a traditional Croatian inn, where innkeepers serve a plethora of only local and authentic food and beverages, including local wines, prosciutto, cheeses, olive oil and rakija, a strong spirit drink. Your local yacht crew will always be by your side, helping you integrate with the local populace and enabling you to feel like a local for just a day.

Return to FRIEND`S BOAT yacht charter as the sun slowly begins to set; when the sea breeze starts to carry faint aromas of salt and cypress, that is your queue that it is time for dinner.

Returning to your yacht, the crew will once again welcome you with chilled drinks, as well as some light music in the interior salon. Talk to the captain; it is entirely your choice if you want to spend the evening and experience dinner berthed on a promenade of a charming coastal city, or find another nice private bay to go with your dinner.

For some diversity, opt for staying and experiencing all the charms of a summer atmosphere in one of many Croatia`s coastal towns. The lively buzzing of people strolling up and down the promenade will surely entertain those who like to people-watch. For those who want a little intimacy, the bow alfresco lounge on FRIEND`S BOAT yacht charter will be a perfect choice to avoid prying eyes, but still get to be part of the atmosphere.

As you put on your attire for the evening, return to the main deck aft dining table, where a sumptuous dinner will be served. You can ask the captain to move FRIEND`S BOAT yacht charter so you have a special panoramic view of the incredible Croatian sunset – a one-of-kind panorama that will perfectly complement your dining experience.

You can start your dinner with seaweed, almond and fennel salad with orange vinegarette and crunchy bacon bits. Continue your meal with Adriatic scampi in a sweet&satly white wine reduction, with chickpea pure, caviar & capers and finish it with an incredible dessert – a traditional Croatian rožata, a typical Croatian coastal dessert, similar to rose pudding.

After finishing dinner, open champagne after champagne to celebrate life by inebriation – or, if you fancy a more adventurous approach to the evening`s entertainment, tell your captain to hoist the anchor and find a private bay nearby. Once you discover the perfect location, let your crew set up the alfresco cinema on the sundeck of FRIEND`S BOAT yacht charter and enjoy a wonderfully unique yacht amenity and watch your favourite film in the presence of your loved ones, under the starriest sky in Europe.

Also for this purpose, your dedicated crew will prepare plenty of world-class local Croatian wines, grown in the fields of Istria or Korčula and matured in amphorae under the wonderful Croatian Adriatic sea.

A well-established Croatian food tradition is to enjoy a strong aperitif, most commonly rakija, to really open your appetite, before indulging in meals such as sirloin beef with mushroom, ginger and shallot or Croatian lamb from Pag island sided with beetroot puree, cherry plum tomatoes and hand-made watermelon granita with lemon and lime syrup.

The hardtop will provide plenty of shade if you want to sit here, enjoy your drink and bask in the magnificent Croatian Adriatic ambience. If you want to know more about the yacht, you can walk around her main deck, reaching the bow sunbathing and lounging section or continue straight through the glass sliding door and into the main salon.

Yacht charter accommodation: main salon & dining area

The interior of FRIEND`S BOAT yacht charter is very bright, with light wood surfaces and creme coloured furniture. The floor is bare wood, without any carpets, creating a more natural atmosphere that goes perfectly with the unspoilt state of the Croatian Adriatic sea.

There is plenty of shelf space on the portside, with a pop-up TV across the lounge sofa arrangement, located on the starboard side of the salon. Forward on the starboard side is the interior dining table; made out of glass, it combines luxury and practicality, being able to double in size due to a smart folding mechanism. This can be your go-to place for dining if you want more privacy when berthed on a busy seaside promenade. Forward from the dining area, guests arrive at the main deck master stateroom.

Yacht Charter Accommodation: The master stateroom

The master stateroom aboard FRIEND`S BOAT yacht charter is located on the main deck, which makes it easily accessible and filled with excellent views of the surrounding turquoise Croatian Adriatic sea. The king-size berth is surrounded by light wood panels that are accentuated by the daylight coming in through big and wide windows.

An elongated and slim mirror adorns the berth headspace, giving the illusion of depth, while at the same time reflecting any incoming daylight. A flat-screen TV is moulded into the wall in front of the berth, so guests can relax after an exciting day of charter activities. The ensuite bathroom is equally gorgeous, with plenty of light wood as decor and mirror surfaces which accomplish a light and natural atmosphere.

YACHT FRONT SUNDECK

For private moments of enjoyment in the Adriatic sun, turn to the bow sunbathing space aboard FRIEND`S BOAT yacht charter. There are several comfortable sunmatressess in front of the helm station windshield, on a raised platform with moulded frames, so you are both safe and comfortable.

A small flight of stairs, with stainless steel railing, connects the main deck and the raised sunbathing plateau. There is also a compact seating arrangement where the stairs and the main deck meet. This could be your go-to place for enjoying morning coffee or for scouting the horizon for that perfect patch of beach.

YACHT LOWER DECK

Besides the master stateroom on the main deck, the twin and double cabins are located on the lower deck of FRIEND`S BOAT yacht charter.

Yacht Charter Accommodation: The double cabin (convertible)

Insanely illuminated, due to massive amounts of daylight coming in through long windows, this convertible cabin really does fool charter guests into thinking this is the VIP accommodation aboard FRIEND`S BOAT yacht charter. This is because there is plenty of room in the cabin (like walk around space), alongside a queen size berth, which provides more than enough room for enjoying the style of this cabin.

Decorated with light wood panels and with a smooth and streamlined profile, this cabin communicates elegance and an inviting atmosphere, in which guests can kick their feet back and relax, knowing their perfect summer holiday in Croatia has begun.

Yacht Charter Accommodation: The twin cabin

The twin cabins follow almost the exact same design as in the convertible cabin i.e. plenty of light beige wood surfaces that create a soothing and natural environment for guests to relax in. The berths are comfortable, with the entrance to the ensuite being placed between the headspaces (where the nightstand usually goes). This arrangement creates a wonderful flow of energy and lots of space to move around.

The ensuite is equipped with a singular sink, as well as a toilet and a shower cabin – everything needed for an extended charter holiday in Croatia.

YACHT BEACH CLUB & SWIMMING PLATFORM

FRIEND`S BOAT yacht charter has a hydraulic door that opens and reveals a garage filled with water toys. In addition, when fully deployed, the hydraulic garage doors create a wide swimming platform. This arrangement allows for plenty of space for guests to enjoy being close to the turquoise beauty that is the Croatian Adriatic sea.

You could ask your crew to arrange for a massage therapy, which can happen right on the swimming platform. There is even a possibility of organising a cocktail hour with your friends at the beach club, with foldable chairs, coffee tables and comfortable sun cushions.

When it comes to speed and thrills, the water skis and wakeboards are a sure way to enjoy lots of fun while being towed by your competent and professional crew using the tender.

It does not matter whether it’s your first time or you already have some experience – the crew will make sure to adapt to your needs and provide an exhilarating experience.
