PHANTOM

PHANTOM — 85 ft · Croatia Eighty-five feet is a well-judged size for the Croatian coast: enough presence to make an entrance in Hvar or Rovinj, compact enough to slip into the coves and channels that larger yachts have to admire from a distance. PHANTOM is built for exactly that kind of cruising — a day spent island-hopping under her own steam, then an evening at anchor with the tender in the water. She emerged from a complete refit in 2025, and it shows in the details rather than the brochure lines. Interior and exterior were both taken back and rebuilt: new teak laid across the decks, new cushions and covers in the bow lounging area, new televisions in every cabin, a high-end sound system, updated navigation electronics and Starlink connectivity throughout. The practical upshot is a yacht that feels current in the ways guests actually notice — a stable signal for the work you couldn't quite leave behind, and screens and speakers that work the first time. Accommodation is arranged over four cabins for eight guests, three of them with double beds; the configuration of the fourth can be confirmed on request, and cabins are served by en suite facilities. Below and above deck, the fittings are of a piece — considered furniture, good materials, nothing that feels like an afterthought. Twin engines give her a top speed of 25 knots, useful when the plan changes at lunchtime and the next anchorage is an hour further down the coast. The flybridge is where most days settle: generous sunpads, shaded seating, and an uninterrupted horizon of Adriatic water and sky. Her crew handles the rest — routing, provisioning, the timing of it all — with the discretion that makes a week aboard feel effortless rather than organised. Sunbeds are available when a 4.5 m RIB tender or chase tender is in use.
