VIS

Discover the Adriatic's hidden coves and crystalline waters from VIS, a sleek 2024 Maxima 840 motor yacht based at Marina Baotić in Okrug, Croatia. This nimble eight-metre vessel combines modern comfort with the agility to explore both well-known anchorages and secret spots that larger boats cannot reach, making it ideal for small groups of friends or couples seeking an intimate escape along one of Europe's most enchanting coastlines. Stepping aboard VIS, you'll find a thoughtfully appointed cabin with all the essentials for a week of leisurely cruising. The generous teak cockpit becomes your floating living room, shaded by the Bimini top during sun-soaked afternoons, while the bow thruster ensures confident maneuvering in tight anchorages and narrow channels. A well-stocked refrigerator keeps provisions fresh for simple dinners prepared onboard or ingredients for sunset aperitifs. The 300-horsepower engine strikes the perfect balance between fuel efficiency and the freedom to cover new territory each day—whether you're island-hopping through Dalmatia's Pakleni Islands or exploring the Adriatic's quieter eastern reaches. A typical week unfolds with flexibility at its heart. Mornings might begin with coffee in the cockpit as you plot your course to a nearby fishing village, where local markets overflow with fresh seafood and Dalmatian wines. Afternoons invite swimming in turquoise bays, reading beneath the Bimini, or simply drifting with the gentle rhythm of the Adriatic. The bow thruster proves invaluable when securing a perfect spot in a crowded anchorage, allowing you to position VIS with precision. Evenings bring the reward of remote coves where the only soundtrack is lapping water and distant church bells from hillside villages. VIS suits those who value autonomy and authentic discovery over crowded ports and resort infrastructure. Whether you're an experienced skipper or chartering with a professional crew, this nimble motor yacht opens access to Dalmatia's most intimate corners—anchoring in secluded bays where you'll watch the sun melt into the horizon, sharing stories and local wine with those who matter most.
