ADRIATIC QUEEN

ADRIATIC QUEEN — 35m (115ft), 2017 Few yachts of this size can seat thirty guests at the same table. ADRIATIC QUEEN can, and that single fact tells you what she was built for: island-hopping the Dalmatian coast with a full group aboard — a family gathering, a company of friends, a chartered week where nobody is left behind on shore. Custom-built and delivered in 2017, she cruises at a measured 10 knots. That pace is not a limitation here, it is the point. Croatia rewards the slow passage: the channel between Hvar and Brač, the approach to Vis at the end of the afternoon, an anchorage found before the day-boats arrive. At ten knots you actually see the coastline you came for. Below, the accommodation is laid out with unusual generosity for a 35-metre yacht: fifteen guest cabins, thirty berths. Seven cabins are arranged with a queen-size bed, the remaining eight with twin beds — a configuration that adapts easily to couples, families and mixed groups without anyone drawing the short straw. Everyone has their own door, their own space to retreat to after dinner. She is served by a professional crew, and the rhythm aboard follows theirs: breakfast as the anchor comes up, lunch somewhere quiet, the tender ashore for a village dinner if the group wants it. Straightforward, well-suited to her waters, and rare in her capacity — ADRIATIC QUEEN is a serious answer for large parties who want the Adriatic on their own terms.
