Lydia III is a 2025 Excess 14 catamaran offering an ideal platform for exploring the Istrian coast and beyond from Tehnomont Marina Veruda in Ližnjan. With six generously appointed cabins and twelve berths, this 13.97-metre catamaran comfortably accommodates larger groups, families, or friends seeking a week of seamless sailing through Croatia's crystalline waters. The broad beam of 7.87 metres translates to exceptional stability and interior space—a hallmark of modern catamaran design that makes this vessel equally suited to seasoned sailors and those new to bareboat charter.

Life aboard Lydia III balances comfort with capability. The dual 57 hp engines provide reliable power for navigating narrow channels and reaching anchorages with precision, while the racing sails and modern GPS navigation system at the helm invite confident cruising. Four ensuite heads ensure privacy and convenience for your entire party, and the desalination plant provides unlimited fresh water throughout your voyage. Solar panels and a voltage converter support sustainable cruising, keeping systems running efficiently whether you're anchored in a secluded bay or alongside a marina.

The Istrian peninsula and surrounding islands offer an exceptional week of sailing. From Ližnjan, you might drift south toward the Brijuni archipelago, explore the hidden coves near Rovinj, or venture across to the Venetian islands of Istra. The catamaran's stability and spacious cockpit—shaded by a bimini and furnished with comfortable cushions—become your floating living room, ideal for morning coffee before departure or evening aperitifs as the sun melts into the Adriatic. Electric winches and a well-designed deck layout make sail handling intuitive, leaving more time to savour the moment.

A week aboard Lydia III unfolds at your own pace: mornings swimming in turquoise anchorages, afternoons exploring stone villages and local konobas, and evenings anchored beneath star-filled skies with the gentle lap of water against the hull.
