Ares is a 2024 Sun Odyssey 440 based at Marina Polesana in Fažana, your gateway to Croatia's Adriatic coast. This 13.4-metre sailing yacht combines modern design with practical comfort, making her an ideal platform for exploring the crystalline waters and hidden anchorages that define this corner of the Mediterranean. Whether you're planning a week with family, a gathering of sailing friends, or a romantic escape for two couples, Ares accommodates up to eight guests across four well-appointed cabins, each with its own ensuite facilities.

Life aboard unfolds at a leisurely pace. The teak cockpit—shaded by a bimini and protected by a sprayhood—becomes your floating living room, where morning coffee gives way to afternoon planning sessions and sunset aperitifs. Below deck, the galley is equipped with refrigeration for fresh provisions sourced from local markets, while Wi-Fi keeps you connected (or lets you choose not to be). The Yanmar 45 HP engine ensures reliable passage-making when the wind falls light, and the bow thruster makes tight marina manoeuvres effortless. Navigation is intuitive thanks to dual GPS systems, one at the helm and one integrated into the chart plotter.

A typical week sees you sailing south toward the Brijuni Islands, anchoring in sheltered coves where the water is so clear you can see the seabed twenty metres below. The swimming platform and tender open access to secluded beaches and tiny villages clinging to rocky shores. Evenings might be spent at anchor with local wine and grilled fish, the only sound the gentle lap of water against the hull. The heating system ensures comfort during shoulder seasons, while the holding tank and comprehensive onboard systems mean you can stay self-sufficient for extended periods.

Ares is ready for a week of unhurried exploration—one where the rhythm is set by wind, light, and the promise of what lies beyond the next headland.
