MENDULA

MENDULA — 36m Gulet, Croatia At 36 metres, MENDULA belongs to the larger end of the gulet fleet — the kind of vessel that makes the Dalmatian coast feel less like an itinerary and more like a slow drift between islands. Built in 2012, she carries the broad beam and generous deck volume that define the type, with the space that comes from building traditional lines at a serious scale. Her thirteen cabins accommodate up to 26 guests, a capacity that puts her firmly in the territory of extended families, multi-generational gatherings and groups chartering together rather than splitting across two yachts. Detailed bed configuration is available on request, and worth reviewing early: on a yacht of this size, matching the layout to the group is what makes the week work. A crew of seven runs her. On a gulet, that ratio matters more than it might elsewhere — it is what keeps meals, tenders, anchorages and turnarounds moving without anyone on board noticing the machinery behind it. Croatia is her operating area, and she is built for it: the sheltered channels of the Kornati, the walled harbours, the long swimming stops in water that stays clear well into autumn.
