Discover MS Il Mare
Welcome aboard the magnificent MS Il Mare. This superb addition to our Croatian fleet, has become a real favourite. This most majestic of vessels, at an impressive 48 metres, causes quite a stir as she moors in the unspoilt little ports along this captivating stretch of the Adriatic. A low passenger complement of just 40 guests creates a sense of exclusivity, yet the gracious and friendly crew, trained to the highest standards, ensure a relaxed and sociable on-board atmosphere, where nothing is too much trouble. The glossy teak, gleaming decks and dazzling chrome exude the glamour that goes hand in hand with this type of yacht cruising and once on board, you’ll be wowed by the elegant contemporary interior; its subtle soothing colour scheme and understated style, provides the perfect ambience in which to unwind. Take dinner in a bright, spacious restaurant, furnished in a simple yet elegant style, creating an informal and comfortable dining experience. Daily breakfast offers hot and cold dishes, and either lunch or dinner presents local dishes from around the Adriatic. At the 'Captain's dinner' enjoy specially selected dishes, whilst the other evenings will be free to dine as you wish in the ports we visit. A spectacular sun deck provides the ideal location to lie back on a sun lounger with a drink from the bar and soak up the glorious vistas at every turn. The thoughtfully-designed fully air-conditioned cabins are all equipped with desk and chair, wardrobe, safe, hair dryer and bathroom with shower and contemporary fittings so your comfort is assured.
