MIRACUL 40

MIRAKUL 40 — Croatia A Croatian-built motor yacht conceived for the way the Adriatic is genuinely best enjoyed: island-hopping days, long swim stops, and a return to harbour as the light goes gold. The lines are clean and purposeful, and the deck layout puts the emphasis where it belongs on this coast — outside. The cockpit is generous for a yacht of this size, with sunbathing areas that hold the sun through the afternoon and a swim platform that makes getting in and out of the water an afterthought rather than an operation. Below, the salon and a fully functional galley give the interior real usefulness, not just shelter. Accommodation is arranged over two cabins for four guests, each with a double bed. Air conditioning throughout keeps the interior comfortable even in the height of a Dalmatian August. A stereo system and TV are on board for the quieter passages of the day. Twin Volvo engines deliver the smooth, unfussy handling that makes light work of the channels between Hvar, Brač and the Pakleni islands. Day charters begin with a safety briefing on boarding, followed by finger food, fresh seasonal fruit, a bottle of Prosecco and water. Snorkelling equipment and life jackets are standard, ready for the first clear-water anchorage of the day.
