Aboard Croce Del Sud
CROCE DEL SUD
42m/137ft sailing yacht CROCE DEL SUD was built in Istria in 1933 and underwent a three-year refit from 2008 to 2011 to maintain this elegant three-masted schooner at her finest. This graceful vessel looks impressive under sail and while at anchor guests can bask in the sunshine on the traditional seating and sun beds. The gorgeous interiors surround guests in traditional wooden panelling and overstuffed leather in cerise or plush white, depending if the upper or lower lounge. The five guest cabins to sleep up to 10 guests are painted white with accents in gold, and air conditioning throughout is one of the few modern additions for convenience and comfort.

MALAHNE
Bridging the gap between traditional and modern is 50m/165ft superyacht MALAHNE. Built in 1937, she has hosted parties for the rich and famous of her era and was put to use during World War II. Guy Oliver of Oliver Laws Ltd painstakingly recreated her interiors using authentic furniture as part of a 30-month refit at the Pendennis shipyard in 2015, resulting in grand formal dining areas separate to the lounge and library, and accommodation for up to 10 guests in six beautifully appointed en-suite cabins. The only modern touch is the array of water toys available: Laser sailing dinghies, windsurfers and paddleboards are just a part of the exhaustive collection for fun-filled afternoons along the Croatian coast or the volcanic coast of Sicily and the Aeolian Islands.
