    Plenty to keep active guests occupied including wind-surfing, jetskis, and water skis.

On the Menu

An excellent chef with many years' experience.

Delectable fresh food

  • Premium Croatian wines

    Croatia produces small quantities of high quality wines. Korta Katarina, Posip, Malvazija, Grk and Plavac are our recommendations well worth sampling.

  • Heaven for seafood

    Being the cleanest sea in Europe, the Adriatic is a haven for seafood. From fresh Mali Ston oysters to extremely succulent lobsters; if you are a seafood lover, look no further.

  • Dalmatian cuisine

    The food served onboard is a fresh, protein-rich, low carb, low fat diet with plenty of fresh vegetables. Mediterranean style.

'Buzara'

Chef’s specialities include Buzara, a type of stew made with langoustines and mussels. Other local dishes on the menu include chard à la Dalmatia (a locally grown chard known as blitva which is boiled with potatoes) and oven-baked great amberjack (a white fish). And for dessert? The Ferrero pancakes, made with Ferrero Rocher chocolate, always go down well, but our personal favourite is the apple cinnamon tart with Italian gelato.

Yacht Toys

An extensive selection of watersports equipment

Water toys
