SCORPIO III

Scorpio III — Oceanis 60 A recent addition to the Croatian charter scene, *Scorpio III* is an Oceanis 60 in owner configuration, offered with crew from Marina Baotić, just outside Trogir — one of the best possible starting points for the Dalmatian islands, with Split, the Kornati and the channels around Brač and Hvar all within comfortable sailing range. She is a genuinely new yacht, and it shows in the way she is finished: clean, contemporary interiors, quality materials, and the sense of order that comes with a boat still in its first seasons. Accommodation is arranged across four cabins for six guests, with the detailed bed configuration available on request. On deck is where an Oceanis 60 earns her reputation. The cockpit is unusually generous for the length, easily absorbing six people around the table at lunch without anyone having to move, and the sunbathing areas give you somewhere to disappear to once the anchor is down in a quiet bay. The sail plan is engineered for straightforward handling, which means real performance under sail rather than a compromise — she moves well in the light Adriatic afternoon breeze and remains composed when the maestral fills in. Practically, she is properly specified for summer cruising: full air conditioning, a generator to run it at anchor, and current-generation navigation and safety electronics. These are the details that decide whether a week in July is comfortable or merely tolerable. Chartered with crew, the routine takes care of itself. Someone else reads the weather, chooses the anchorage, handles the lines and provisions the galley — leaving you the parts of sailing worth keeping.
