Phoenix 72

A DAY ON THE YACHT

Once you board PHOENIX 72 yacht charter, you will be in the company of possibly more than 20 of your friends and relatives. This means an atmosphere unlike any other on superyachts, enabling you to enjoy a different kind of luxury experience – orientated toward bringing you closer with the people you cherish and love the most, while also introducing you to the best of the Croatian Adriatic archipelago.

Wake up in one of 18 stylised cabins onboard PHOENIX 72 yacht charter and marvel at the view of a new location every day. Through your wide window, you can observe the glory of the Croatian Adriatic panorama, with azure waters, distant islands and close-by shore, totally private and exclusive.

Start your morning routine and when you are done, lock your cabin with a personalized key card, before continuing to the upper deck, where a generous breakfast buffet will be served.

Stepping into the beautifully decorated dining hall, you can choose between a carefully selected menu of breakfast dishes or order off the menu – you can even ask for breakfast to be delivered to your cabin.

You will definitely enjoy custom-made Croatian pancakes, fruit salads and cereals, with regular or vegan milk. Also to choose from will be prosciutto, ham, salty or sweet breakfast pastry and fresh fruit juices.

Finishing with breakfast, you decide to relax at the upper deck lounge, located just several feet from the breakfast buffet bar. Here, you can enjoy a drink from the bar while observing the beautiful Croatian Adriatic panorama. Relax in comfort and style and order a costume drink from the nearby bar, pondering about your itinerary for today.

You could let the captain of PHOENIX 72 pick a perfect location for the day or you could consult with the rest of your charter party and choose between several nearby locations that could be ideal for an awesome beginning of a superyacht charter holiday in Croatia.

First thing`s first, it would be a shame not to take advantage of the incredibly spacious beach club on PHOENIX 72, considering it stores several different water toys, including but not limited to Seabobs, jet skis, donuts, bananas, tubes; even an inflatable sailing dingy.

Return to your cabin to freshen up and prepare for some fun on PHOENIX 72`s beach club. The stewardesses have already brought movable chairs and tables, creating an atmosphere that truly resembles an exotic beach.

With cocktails and snacks, you get to pick between a wide variety of water toys. Organising races and tournaments will be a fun and exciting thing to do, especially if you are enjoying the company of your closest friends and family.

If you are not into water toys, take advantage of a private massage therapist on your yacht charter and make the beautiful Croatian Adriatic atmosphere a part of your relaxation session. Let the professional masseuses deploy the movable massage table anywhere aboard PHOENIX 72 yacht charter.

Be it on the front sun deck, on the beach club or in your cabin, you will definitely enjoy the skilful hands of your expert massage therapist. Feel the difference on your skin as you experience the benefits of all-natural, local and organic oils and cremes, designed specifically for top tier skincare.

Lavender oils mixed with olives and rosemary essential drops make for an aromatherapeutic bonus that goes excellent with professional massages. Afterwards, you could consult with the professional fitness trainer that is also part of the crew aboard PHOENIX 72. Ask about personalised training programs or get together with your charter party and train together.

There is nothing more fun than breaking a sweat on the beach club or the main deck aft, then jumping in the crisp Croatian Adriatic Sea, for instant refreshment.

During your stay aboard PHOENIX 72, you will be constantly supplied with drinks and snacks of all kinds; with such a numerous team in the galley, someone will always be available to take your order, no matter how extravagant it might be.

Enjoy spending your time on PHOENIX 72 until it is time for lunch. The incredible team of master chefs, chefs and sues chefs will create amazing culinary wonders, daily. Be prepared to taste amazing dishes like a lentil soup with paprika and lime infusion or quick-fried shrimp, with carrots and peas, served with rice balls and lemon zest.

Follow up with a classic beef wellington with sweet potatoes and carrot mash, served with aubergine and sweet chilly gravy and finish with a chocolate mousse with mocha crème. After lunch, you could tell your diligent captain to find a perfect secluded bay in which you could spend the rest of the afternoon.

There is a possibility to anchor PHOENIX 72 yacht charter in such a way that cuts off the entrance to the bay, making it completely private. This way, you can enjoy the whole area undisturbed; only you and your friends and family. Let your crew organise a real beach party with all the paraphernalia: sun loungers, beach toys, water toys, an improvised bar and lots of parasails.

While your kids snorkel and explore the coastline in the vicinity of the beach, you can sit back and relax, knowing that your expert crew are diligently watching over your children.

As the afternoon slowly makes way for dusk, sit back and enjoy the show. Your crew will prepare a beach bonfire, complete with tiki torches and soft LED lights for the ultimate beach experience.

At the same time, your chef team will prepare a luxury BBQ menu; grilled chicken with salty mushroom gravy, seasoned with red paprika and thyme or grilled sea bass with garlic, lemon, olive oil and rosemary reduction. The second part of dinner will be served when you return back to PHOENIX 72.

After you finish the first dinner course on your charming beach soirée, return to PHOENIX 72 while the crew tidies the beach and prepares for departure. On deck, you will be welcomed with a light finish to your dinner, which started with the beach BBQ. Be surprised by a wide variety of sushi, canapes, mini ice-cream cakes and loads of champagne.

Preparing for the afterparty in the upper deck salon, return to your cabin to freshen up and put on some more appropriate attire.

With music and dancing in the upper deck ballroom, and with drinks constantly flowing from the fantastically appointed bar, be prepared to dance the night away in an atmosphere that you will always remember as one of the greatest yacht charter vacations of your life.

For those late hours just before dawn, relax in the upper deck jacuzzi, totally enveloped by warm bubbles and massaging whirlpools. Surrounded by warm sea breezes and the smell of salt, know that you will rarely feel such a magnificent vibe than on PHOENIX 72.

After such a long day, return to your cabin, tired but happy, recognizing that the days ahead will only exceed the previous ones in grandeur and hedonistic delight.

YACHT CHARTER DINING

The dining standard aboard PHOENIX 72 will be different than what charter guests are used to on superyachts of different categories. Firstly, her galley is several times bigger than what is considered a „large“ galley when you compare PHOENIX 72 with yachts of similar length.

The fridge space is larger, the cold storage drawers are bigger and there is a lot of countertops and work surfaces, where chefs can prepare and plate all the luxury dishes you will get to try on PHOENIX 72. Industrial-quality kitchen appliances will make sure every dish is prepared exactly as it should be, on time and delicious.

The terrific team of chefs aboard PHOENIX 72 will act as a culinary `string quarter`; each piece they compose will outdo the previous, in scope, scale and artistry. The colours and scents of dishes will inspire and astound, greatly contributing to the overall luxury experience of a yacht charter holiday in Croatia.

It is very rare to find 4 people in the galley of a yacht, but this is exactly the case on PHOENIX 72 yacht charter: one master chef, one chef and two sues chefs. This type of configuration guarantees a dining standard unlike any other in the industry.

A higher number of people that can directly apply themselves in preparing food impacts the quality of the overall dining experience. This means that the courses will be are plentiful, the dishes intricate and the plating and presentation fantastic. The luxury upper deck alfresco dining area will be the main stage for culinary adventure and wonders aboard this marvellous yacht.

For breakfast, you can expect eggs prepared to order, French toast and deli meats, combined with hand-made and freshly baked pastries, either sweet or savoury. Also, to choose from will be fresh fruit, vegetables, a wide choice of granola, squeezed juices and smoothies.

For lunch, you can expect a menu similar to a local Croatian seafood broth, made from mussels, called `Buzara`, followed by fried lobster tail with a butter and garlic sauce, sprinkled with lime vinaigrette. Continue your meal with a steamed and salted seabass with spinach puree and local olive oil, finishing with a hand-made molten chocolate cake.

Dinners can resemble dishes like a tomato gazpacho with local Croatian cheese from the island of Pag, followed by a black squid risotto and salmon medallions with a rosemary and garlic reduction, fried over excellent Croatian red wine. For dessert, a raspberry cheesecake.

YACHT MAIN DECK

The main deck aft is 10 meters in width, with an incredibly long and spacious stern sofa bench. Moving from the stern, we have a day head on the starboard side of the main deck aft. The colour scheme is white and grey marble with a black sink and head. Very stylish and simple, yet elegant.

Moving on the starboard side of the side deck, we traverse the main deck amidship from the exterior and arrive into the main deck lobby. Polished steel handrails are a practical feature in the main deck hallway, leading into cabins 14 to 17.

Yacht Charter Accommodation: Cabin 15

This cabin incorporates very large and very wide windows, located to port. A silver streamlined decorative surface combined with a mirror presents an interesting detail, as well as providing a surface against which light can shine and reflect.

A cushy and comfortable chair is paired with a wide desk which has integrated air-conditioning, a pretty practical feature for keeping cool. The ensuite follows a simple design, with marble surfaces, a sink, a shower cabin and a head.

Yacht Charter Accommodation: Cabins 16 and 14

Upon entering cabin 16, guests can immediately notice a big hanging closet with ample room. Also present is the re-occurring silvery-glass motif with a mirror, so guests can enjoy special displays of light reflecting against the polished surfaces, filling the cabin with incredible patterns of light and shadow.

This is made possible by vast amounts of sunlight that constantly fill this cabin, thanks to wide and large window surfaces.

When it comes to cabin 14, it is exactly the same as cabin 16, with big windows, lots of room, a queen-size berth and an ensuite bathroom with a sink, a head and a shower cabin.

Moving through the main deck hallway towards the stern, guests can find cabins 9,10,11,12 and 13, with a private crew hallway and staircase leading to the lower deck crew mess and accommodations.

Also, cameras can be found throughout the vessel, elevating the security and safety measures on all the decks to a formidable level for anyone that would want to disturb the peacefulness of your superyacht charter holiday in Croatia.

YACHT UPPER DECK

Yacht charter accommodation: main salon & dining area

Guests arrive at the upper deck main salon via a staircase leading from the main deck. The main salon heavily resembles a ballroom, with six circular black tables and thirty-six very comfortable sofa chairs.

The floor is very nice and sleek, made from polished soft marble. The chandeliers are designed contemporary, with mirror surfaces that extend from the light source, creating an impression of a corral or a seashell.

Guests can enjoy their dinner and the view at the same time because of the wide salon windows, that offer full panoramic views on both port and starboard sides. An absolutely enormous flat-screen TV creates an atmosphere of a big meeting hall in a huge European castle.

There are also four big polished stainless-steel pylons, which serve as supports for the yacht`s superstructure. The pylons are also aesthetically correct, matching the decor of the upper deck main salon and contributing to the overall atmosphere of an exclusive dining area.

Moving towards the bow, guests can notice a buffet surface to port. This big buffet bar can be used to serve breakfast for a large number of people, while also having ample storage space like wine coolers, mini-fridges etc. There are also shelves for drinks and alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages.

This layout is due to the fact that the original intention behind building PHOENIX 72 yacht charter was for it to be a miniature cruise ship, intended on providing a different kind of charter experience to a bigger number of people.

PHOENIX 72 yacht charter was designed to serve the function of a mini cruise ship and not a superyacht, so it boasts several amenities and features exclusively held by cruise ships, which include a large breakfast buffet bar, a separate and fully stocked restaurant bar and a restaurant-sized galley across the bar, so the service could be performed in a swift and practical manner.

The fully equipped bar located forward from the salon dining hall will serve as a focal point for socialising and entertaining, with pre-and post-dinner cocktails or canapes and champagne. Passing through the bar and galley, guests arrive at the lounge and fun area, placed as the last interior feature before the upper foredeck alfresco area.

This comfortable lounge has enough sitting room for a dozen guests, and its vicinity to the bar makes it a perfect place to rest and digest the Michelin-level food you will enjoy every day, during your stay on PHOENIX 72 yacht charter. This bow-faced gaming and fun area is one big C-shaped circular sofa with 3 small coffee tables.

There is also a PlayStation 5 gaming centre, that will attract the younger generation to spend hours of fun on their charter holiday in Croatia. A day head across the fully-equipped bar, with a head and a sink, will make going to the bathroom in your cabin totally redundant.

The positioning of the galley is masterfully done, so the chef can plate and send the dishes directly from the galley to the dining tables, placed several feet away from the chef. The bar right across the galley makes serving practical, efficient, time-saving and not disturbing to the guests.

The upper deck aft area is a huge C-shaped sofa arrangement, incorporating 8 tables including two corner ones. The sofa follows the entire length of the stern.

This is a big alfresco dining area with chairs and tables fit for the entire number of max. guests on board. From the upper deck aft, guests can observe that PHOENIX 72  is totally walk-around, implementing very wide side decks that enable guests to circle the entire length of the yacht and climb up to the last deck.

YACHT SUNDECK

The sundeck features an enormous aft-placed jacuzzi, big enough to be a jacuzzi pool. There are also movable sun loungers that use this space so guests could relax under the warm Croatian Adriatic Sun. This space can also be used for a multitude of other purposes, like a yacht cinema, a floor for dance competitions, hide and seek, tag and other fun activities.

The corners of the jacuzzi are made into benches, so people can sit beside the jacuzzi and chitchat with the guests that are inside, but also enjoy the comfort of a padded white leather bench. Moving forward, there are two opposing and elongated sofas under the hardtop.

There is also a fully equipped bar down the line, placed in the middle of the deck. This wonderfully decorated bar is ornated with mosaic reminding onlookers of a phoenix’s tail feathers.

Moving towards the bow, guests can enjoy a totally unique feature, reserved only for larger cruise ships – an alfresco observatory in front of the upper deck bow. There are polished steel handrails for protection and four very large sun pads located in front of the helm station windshield.

This area presents a perfect opportunity for all guests who are in need of a fantastic Adriatic panorama or some rest and relaxation under the sun.

The impression of looking overboard enables guests to grasp just how big is this ship, feeling her size. With more than 11 meters in height, PHOENIX 72 offers the advantages of both a cruise ship and a luxury yacht which is the main reason why you should consider chartering a vessel like this.

There is also a day head, located on the starboard side of the upper side deck. There are day heads scattered across all decks. This way, PHOENIX 72 stays true to its cruiser origin, always having a practical day head nearby for the guest`s convenience. When moving between the exterior decks, guests can notice interestingly-built staircases.

Two very wide stainless-steel pylons are moulded with wood stairs to combine classical and contemporary elements in a practical form. A very wide side deck area enables free-flowing of energy and movement, without any traffic.

YACHT LOWER DECK

To get to the lower deck, guests must take the black marble stairs from the main deck lobby down and towards the stern, reaching cabin number one.

Yacht Charter Accommodation: cabin 1

This cabin is equipped with a double berth and an ensuite bathroom. The layout is different from what you would usually expect on yachts. Reminding of a hotel room, there is plenty of walk-around room and headspace.

The wall behind the berth headspace is a mirror feature with curbed lines, which only accentuates natural light coming in two elongated porthole windows on the port side. Hip high cabinetry with black polished wood surfaces provides a practical storage solution, alongside a regular hanging closet.

The cabin comes equipped with a flat-screen TV is in front of the berth, while the wall pannels are made of wood and painted a dark greyish colour. The ensuite is very nice, incorporating a lot of marble surfaces and details.

Observant guests will notice that marble is the main decor theme in the ensuites and day heads aboard PHOENIX 72. The ensuite in cabin 1 features a large sink, a head and a spacious shower cabin, with a rainfall option.

A decoration feature, on the port side of the cabin, is a silver wall surface combined with a mirror, streamlined to create a sort of a rippling water effect.

When the sun hits just right and daylight comes into the portholes, together with the curbed mirror above the berth, this silver decorational feature creates an intricate light show, bringing the shimmering surface of the sea directly into this cabin.

Yacht Charter Accommodation: cabin 2

Cabin number 1 and cabin number 2 are identical, mirror images of one another, with some noteworthy stand-out features, like a safe in the hanging closet, or the massive doors. On most yachts, there is no need for massive, bulky doors, and rarely will you find doors that are as thick as the doors on PHOENIX 72.

When underway, these doors will never slam shut or be swayed by the yacht`s movement, thanks to their bulkiness. The doors are covered with a dark fabric and a faux leather combination, with massive steel frames providing a feeling of sturdiness; you can sense the strength of the opening mechanism and the weight of the door itself.

Yacht Charter Accommodation: cabins 3 & 4

Cabins 3 and 4 are slightly different in design from cabins 1 and 2, with two major differences: cabin 4 is a twin without the conversion option, while cabin number 3 is a twin with an option of being converted into a double.

There are double-wide porthole windows parallel to a quaint art piece, that brings the sea directly into the cabin. The same elongated curbed mirror feature above the berth is also present in this cabin, as is the case with cabins 1 and 2.

There is also a very soft chair and a compact countertop that can be used as a desk, but with somewhat limited room. This is because there is an air-conditioning vent is directly integrated into the countertop.

The ensuite is exactly the same as in the rest of the cabins, with marble surfaces, marble countertops, a large sink, a head, decorations and LED lights that are integrated into the white ceiling. There is also a porthole in the ensuite and a generously spaced marble shower cabin with a rainfall option as well.

Stepping back into the hallway…

The hallway that connects all four of the lower deck cabins is decorated to suit PHOENIX 72`s yacht charter design. The walls are covered with a faux marble surface, while the floor is made from genuine white marble with blackish stripes.

The irregular impression and the clashing of black and white combine beautifully with the general design theme that is present in the lower deck cabins. An interesting fact to notice is that the hallway has integrated speakers as well as a fire alarm and a camera.

This raises the safety standard for guests to unprecedented levels when you compare PHOENIX 72 with superyachts of similar lengths. There are a few other vessels on the water that can offer the same amount of security to guests, especially if you add the bulky doors which are key-card lockable and the safes in all the cabins.

All of these features create a safe and secure cruising environment, in which guests will feel protected and cared for. The second part of the lower deck is accessible by returning to the main deck foyer and taking the staircase leading down to the lower deck bow. Passing through this second stairway, guests can check out cabins 5 through 8.

Yacht charter accommodation: cabins 5 through 8

Cabins 5, 6, 7 and 8 are pretty much the same as all the others, with some minor layout changes that do not impact the overall impression of the cabin. There is a flat-screen TV for the guest`s entertainment, a hanging closet with an integrated safe and two nightstands on both sides of the double berth.

The headspace above the berth is decorated in the same manner as in the rest of the cabins, with irregularly curved mirrors and silvery frames that follow the curbs. The ensuite is identical to all other ensuites, using marble decoration and white as a primary colour. It is also equipped with a sink, a head and a shower cabin.

The re-occurring theme of silvery glass wall ornament can also be spotted here.  A fine addition is a soft and cushy chair paired with a compact desk, without the vanity feature. Two elongated portholes make sure that the cabins stay filled with sunlight all throughout the day.

There are a total of two specially-arranged cabins, which feature a costume berth configuration, containing one double berth and one twin berth, perfect for a family with a child or two small children, so all the members of the family can sleep in the same cabin.

YACHT BEACH CLUB & SWIMMING PLATFORM

The space of PHOENIX 72`s beach club rivals the space of salons on smaller superyachts. There are a plethora of water toys that include but are not limited to jet skis, stand-up paddleboards, donuts, tubes, a banana, water skis and a really slick, really streamlined chase boat.

Ask your local Superyachts Croatia broker about what kinds of water toys you can expect on your charter holiday on PHOENIX 72 yacht charter. You can even arrange for some more exotic toys to be brought on board, for an extra fee. There are also sea ladders, which enable guests to easily get in and out of the water.

As an added bonus, there is also a hydraulic sea passarell, which acts as a stairway directly into the water, so no jumping is required. Just stream directly into the crystal Croatian Adriatic Sea.

The spacing of the beach club is absolutely fantastic; there is no hydraulic garage door, but a single door that leads into the engine room which serves a secondary function as a compact garage.

For instant fun, ask the onboard fitness instructor to assist you in creating a fantastic beach club water schedule, while also organising tournaments for all kinds of water sports. Let your expert deck crew put all the toys in the water, so you and your numerous charter party could utilise the full potential of a large charter group.

Enjoy potential water sports tournaments and water toys competitions. Race with jet skis, go diving in a group or play water-tag.

Let your fitness animator set up an obstacle course made up of water toys and natural beach elements. Starting from a beach, you must dive to get a key, then swim to open a lock on a stand-up paddleboard. Start paddling towards the donuts, tubes and banana configuration, where you must walk on the inflatables without losing your balance.

Lastly, hop on a jet ski and speed back to the beach, where you will ring the bell and finish the track. When there is a lot of people doing it in the same time, it resembles old obstacle courses from the reality-survival show „Survivor“ – a lot of fun and excitement.
