A DAY ON THE YACHT

Your day could begin with you getting up earlier than anyone else, so you could enjoy your morning coffee on the main deck bow alone. You will know that your vacation has begun when everywhere you look you see only crystal clear Adriatic sea while grasping your favourite crossword puzzle and sunscreen in hand.

During your alone time, you could contemplate all the fun things you could do today. A little chat with the stewardess reveals the information needed to plan a perfect day. Croatian National parks are well known across the globe, giving you an ideal opportunity to show your kids the beauty of the world.

For this purpose, consider Mljet, an island located in Southern Dalmatia, well known for its incredible nature and a National Park located within its shores. Up to par with 5-star service, the stewardess arranges for you and your family to have a tender ride to Mljet in the afternoon.

Finally, your charter party starts to wake up and gather around the table on the main deck aft. Breakfast is on its way, including plenty of fresh fruit, a meat and cheese plate and some pancakes, that will fill you with the energy needed for the next few hours of fun with water toys. Lunch will be served around 1 p.m., with a light couscous salad and barbecue with a surf `n` turf menu.

Until then, change into your bathing suit and decide what water toy to use first. You could start with snorkelling, exploring the unbelievably clean water and seabed life while your kids ride on the wakeboard and water skis. In the meantime, the other guests will have a go with the jet ski and kayak, fully enjoying themselves. After sufficient fun on the water, lunch could be served on the flybridge under the removable bimini shade, so you could enjoy a summer breeze while having a delicious meal served right from the BBQ to the table.

After lunch, take a ride with the tender to Mljet National park, which borders two saltwater lakes – Veliko and Malo lake. In the middle of the Veliko Lake, a small island houses a former Benedictine monastery, now a restaurant. This is a perfect place to have cocktails and take some selfies. Swimming and sunbathing in the National park is welcomed, as the water is warmer than on other Mljet beaches. You could also undertake a short hike up the hill, to better enjoy the spectacular view of the Adriatic Sea, seeing KIMON yacht charter in the distance.

Come back to KIMON yacht charter and get ready for your on-shore dinner in Dubrovnik’s old town. Just a short cruise away from Mljet, Dubrovnik is the perfect location to eat out in luxury and style. Once you arrive, you will be transported by tender to shore, where a reserved dinner table will be waiting for your charter party to arrive. The dinner will fit a 5-star standard; trying local Croatian food and traditional delicacies is a sure recipe to have an unforgettable dining experience.

These could include cheese from the island of Pag, black risotto and rožata for dessert. Afterwards, let the tender pick you up from the dock, transferring you to KIMON yacht charter. Enjoy a glass of champagne on the flybridge, with a perfect evening view of Dubrovnik old town.

YACHT CHARTER DINING

During your stay at KIMON, your dining will be in the hands of the two crew members. Because of limited availability, a designated member of the crew will also fill the role of the chef. This designated cook will be able to provide exquisite single-course meals, like grilled sea bass with stuffed courgettes, tomatoes, olives and basil or crab and tiger prawn fettuccine.

The food will always be fresh and local, more than sufficient for a pleasant stay onboard KIMON yacht charter. Whenever you find yourself craving something different, there is always an option of taking a ride with the tender to local towns, exploring native restaurants with irresistible menus and wine charts.

The stewardess will always double-check the place you have decided to visit and make sure everything goes according to plan. Get to know the secrets of traditional Dalmatian cuisine, and be amazed by centuries-old recipes, passed down from one chef to the next. Family-owned restaurants will always be a source of constant culinary inspiration in Croatia, encouraging you to try new things.

While enjoying the scenery of Mljet island, you could visit some of the more popular restaurants on the island, to find out what’s cooking on Mljet:
• Barba Ive is an establishment located in Pomena harbour, with reliably fresh fish and stand-out sea bass.
• Mali Raj or ‘Little Paradise‘ is a restaurant located near the lake in the heart of Mljet’s National Park, serving grilled squid and fish, octopus salad and plates of homemade cheese and olives. Sometimes, the most delicious dishes are the simplest ones, and Mali Raj gives credit to that saying.
• The hilltop Stermasi restaurant overlooks Saplunara bay and serves customers who come by boat. Delicious squid, octopus and fish can be swapped with excellent goat meat and paired with first-rate wines.
• Located in Okuklje, the Maestral restaurant boasts a terrific scorpion fish brodetto, mussels from Sobra and brilliant peka dishes (lamb or octopus slow-cooked for hours under hot coals).

YACHT MAIN DECK

The main deck aft alfresco dining area on KIMON yacht charter is both practical and stylised, giving you a place where you can enjoy a delicious lunch. In the afternoon, enjoy tasty cocktails around a large dining table for 8 people. An impression of a smooth, sleek and safe aft main deck environment is due to the fact that all the winches are hidden.

There is also a separate passageway for the crew to enter the main aft deck and stream into their quarters. Stairs connect the main aft deck with the flybridge, while the entrance to the saloon is equipped with a bar that separates the two areas. Those features also make it more accessible for guests to be served their drinks while they enjoy an alfresco dining experience on the main deck aft.

The salon is modern and stylish with lots of multimedia amenities. These include a 3D Smart TV, a BOSE home cinema system, an I-pod docking system, an audio multi-room system, a video media server, ambient led lighting and WiFi Internet. Both salon side walls are actually large windows, which allow for plenty of daylight in the interior.

The decor features white and silver tones with dark grey contrast found on the ceiling curvatures. Moving from the salon, a helm station is located in the front, taking advantage of the excellent visibility provided by the polarised windshield. An open concept is the key feature of the main deck, enabling guests to glide from the interior to the exterior.

The sundeck, located on the main deck bow, is covered with sun pads, making it a favourite sunbathing spot on KIMON. A safety net placed between the rails and the hull makes sure your children are safe. They can curiously lean over the rails to observe the seafoam trail left behind by KIMON yacht charter without any danger.

YACHT FLYBRIDGE

KIMON has two hallways that connect to the flybridge: one is from the main deck aft, through a weather door hatch, and the other is from the saloon. This makes the flybridge an outstanding exterior area, offering the most spectacular views, while smart naval architecture allows fluidity of movement, lowering potential traffic jams.

KIMON`s flybridge enables you to be a part of steering the vessel while enjoying a party with your friends at the same time. The bimini top is a must-have during the warm summer days, especially if you and your party decide to have a barbecue on the flybridge. The sun beds, spread across the flybridge, are cosy and spacious, making sure all sun lovers are comfortable while they work on their tan.

While you relax on the flybridge, you can listen to your favourite music thanks to the Bose loudspeakers and wide Wi-Fi coverage. Making you feel free and energised, the flybridge enables the enjoyment of the magnificent scenery that the beautiful Adriatic coast provides.

YACHT LOWER DECK

The lower deck is a place for a good night`s sleep in one of three well-appointed cabins: a master cabin, a VIP cabin and a twin cabin.

Yacht Charter Accommodation: The master cabin

The master cabin is a spacious and comfortable living quarter with a large double berth and panoramic windows to both port and starboard, providing plenty of natural light. Daylight lifts the atmosphere of the master and instantly makes it more inviting.

YACHT BEACH CLUB & SWIMMING PLATFORM

Since this is your yacht charter holiday, you can ask the captain to anchor your superyacht in a way that gives the swimming platform and beach club of KIMON yacht charter total privacy, so you could enjoy all the benefits of tanning near the sea`s level, without being seen by anyone.
