KORAB

KORAB — 25.50m (83ft) · Croatia Croatia's coastline rewards a yacht built for it: a thousand islands, sheltered channels, anchorages you reach in twenty minutes rather than half a day. KORAB, a custom-built 25.50-metre motor yacht delivered in 2001 and refitted in 2011, is at home in exactly this kind of cruising — unhurried passages at a 9-knot cruising speed, the sort of pace that turns the transfer between two islands into part of the day rather than an interruption of it. Her accommodation is unusually generous for her length. Six cabins sleep twelve guests: four cabins with a double bed, and two with twin beds, each with its own ensuite. It is a layout that suits a large family group or two or three couples travelling together without anyone drawing the short straw — a real consideration on a yacht of this size, where six ensuite cabins is more than most. A crew of four looks after the yacht and her guests, handling the navigation, the galley and the daily rhythm on board so that the itinerary stays flexible: a morning swim stop, lunch at anchor, an afternoon repositioning to be alongside for dinner in Hvar or Korčula. KORAB is a straightforward, well-proportioned charter yacht for the Adriatic — sensibly sized for Croatia's harbours, with the cabin count to bring everyone along.
