Desire is a 2024 Antares 11 Fly, a sleek and modern motor yacht based at ACI Marina Split—your gateway to Croatia's most coveted Adriatic waters. This nimble 11-metre vessel combines contemporary comfort with genuine performance, making it ideal for groups of friends or small families seeking a week of exploration without the complexity of sailing. With twin Mercury 300 HP engines, she covers distance effortlessly, freeing you to spend more time anchored in hidden coves than underway.

Split itself is a living museum: ancient Roman palaces, sun-bleached stone streets, and waterfront cafés set the tone for your departure. From there, Desire opens up the Dalmatian coast's most rewarding itineraries—the Pakleni Islands' turquoise shallows, Hvar's pine-fringed anchorages, and the quieter reaches around Vis. The yacht's bow thruster and autopilot make navigation intuitive, while the generous flybridge with Bimini top becomes your daytime hub, shaded and social. Below deck, air conditioning keeps the two cabins cool during warm afternoons, and the galley's espresso machine and full refrigeration mean mornings feel civilised even at anchor.

Life aboard settles into a natural rhythm. Wake to coffee on the flybridge, swim from the integrated platform, explore a local market or waterfront taverna by tender, then return to anchor in time for sunset drinks. The onboard Wi-Fi and television mean you're never truly disconnected if you need to check in, though most guests find themselves reaching for their phones far less frequently. One electrically operated head keeps logistics simple for a group, and the generous battery and generator system ensure creature comforts throughout your week.

A week aboard Desire typically unfolds as a series of perfect anchorages: mornings in crystalline water, afternoons discovering stone villages accessible only by boat, evenings dining on fresh seafood under stars that seem impossibly bright.
