We spend a lot of time talking about the Adriatic: the islands, the itineraries, the experiences that can only happen here. But behind every exceptional charter week is the vessel that makes it possible. The right yacht doesn't just take your clients somewhere. It shapes how the whole week feels.

We are pleased to introduce two new motor yachts to the Via Croatia fleet. They are different vessels with different personalities, different price points, and different clients in mind. What they share is the standard we hold every yacht to before it earns a place in our portfolio: exceptional build quality, a crew worth trusting, and the kind of onboard experience that makes a charter week feel like the best possible version of a holiday.

Here is what you need to know about both.

Some yachts are built for getting from place to place. Renata is built for staying on board as long as possible.

At 40.8 metres and 135 feet, the M/Y K Series 41m accommodates up to 12 guests across six staterooms, with a crew of ten on board. Fresh interiors, updated systems, and a vessel that has been brought to the standard a charter week at this level demands.

The master suite on Renata occupies an entire deck. That is not a marketing description. The suite has its own private lounge, a balcony jacuzzi, and a private terrace. For travelers chartering as a couple or for a multi-generational group where the principal guests want genuine separation from the rest of the party, this changes the entire dynamic of the week. They are not just in the nicest cabin. They are in a different space altogether.

The lower deck holds five guest cabins, each with en-suite bathrooms. Two of the aft cabins can be combined into a spacious family suite, which makes Renata a strong option for families traveling with younger children who need proximity without sharing a room.

The main salon on Renata features floor-to-ceiling windows and a large cinema screen. The sundeck has a jacuzzi, a bar, a shaded lounge, and a barbecue area. The beach club and swim platform at the stern make getting in and out of the Adriatic effortless.

For clients who want to stay active on the water, Renata carries two Jet Ski Sea-Doo GTR X RS, two SeaBob F5S underwater scooters, and a wakeboard. The onboard sauna handles the recovery. A crew of ten handles everything else.

For longer voyages, Renata's steel hull and aluminium superstructure deliver smooth cruising at 12 to 15 knots with a range of 5,400 nautical miles. She is built for the Mediterranean in the fullest sense.

Families who need flexibility between private and shared spaces. Groups of couples where everyone deserves a serious cabin, not just a reasonable one. Clients with specific activity requirements who want water toys, a sauna, and cinema nights built into the same vessel.

Not every client needs 40 metres and 12 berths. Some of the best charter weeks happen on a vessel that is precisely sized for the group on board, where nothing feels oversized and every space is actually used.

The M/Y Azimut Grande 26 accommodates up to 10 guests across five cabins, with a crew of four. At 26 metres and 85 feet, she is a motor yacht that moves with a nimbleness the larger vessels cannot match, while delivering interiors and performance that are unequivocally in the premium tier.

The Azimut Grande 26 was designed by Alberto Mancini, whose signature is bold flowing lines and extensive glazing. The result on First Horizon is a yacht that looks like it is moving when it is standing still, with natural light flooding every interior space through the wide windows that define the profile.

What matters beyond the aesthetics is the construction. Built with advanced carbon fiber technology, First Horizon delivers impressive performance and stability while keeping weight low and fuel efficiency high. For clients who want a vessel that covers distance quickly and smoothly without the mass of a larger hull, the carbon fiber build is a meaningful practical advantage.

The master suite on First Horizon sits on the main deck and runs the full beam of the vessel. This is the defining design choice of the Azimut Grande 26: the best cabin is not tucked below or squeezed into a corner. It is given the most desirable position on the yacht, with direct access to the deck and all the light that comes with a main-deck location.

Below, four beautifully appointed guest cabins accommodate the remaining guests in comfort that is genuinely well-matched to the master. The overall feel of the vessel is cohesion rather than hierarchy, which suits smaller groups of friends or couples who want everyone's experience to be excellent rather than ranked.

The flybridge on First Horizon is a genuine outdoor living space: elevated, open, and positioned to make the most of the Adriatic views from above. The foredeck lounge adds a second outdoor gathering point at the bow, which matters on a yacht this size because it means different members of the group can occupy different spaces without the overlap that makes smaller vessels feel crowded.

Below deck, the wine cooler in the main salon and the ice maker are details that reflect how the vessel was thought through. The watermaker ensures independence from marina facilities on longer stretches between ports. First Horizon is a yacht designed for people who notice the difference between good and properly considered.

First Horizon suits couples and small groups who want quality over capacity. Two or three couples chartering together. A family of four or five who want serious performance and Italian design without the footprint of a 40-metre vessel. Clients who have done Croatia before and want a more intimate, refined version of the charter experience.

It is also a strong option for clients who are newer to chartering and want a vessel that feels personal and approachable rather than expansive and managed.

Charter rate: $92,700 to $118,740 per week, depending on the season.

The addition of Renata and First Horizon extends the Via Croatia fleet across a wider range of group sizes, budgets, and travel personalities. Together with M/S Symphony and M/S Aretha at the larger end of the portfolio, and the new vessels sitting in the motor yacht segment, the fleet now covers more of the conversations you are having with clients planning Croatia charter weeks.

Both yachts are available for the upcoming season, paired with Via Croatia's full itinerary offer including Dalmatia: The Art of Island Hopping and the Signature Croatia Afloat and Ashore route. As with every vessel in the Via Croatia fleet, all logistics, transfers, and onboard provisioning are managed through the team before stepping on board.
