It wouldn’t be a yacht charter in Croatia if you didn’t explore some of Dalmatia’s best nightlife while at sea. And on a warm summer night when the Adriatic towns light up with energy, it’s impossible not to be drawn to a cocktail and a dance - or three. Some Dalmatian towns are known for being the Adriatic Coast’s top spots for going out, while other unassuming island towns hide swanky clubs and cocktail bars you wouldn’t otherwise find.

At Otium Yachts, we pride ourselves on working with some of the best in the industry. With more than a decade’s worth of experience, we learned that the crew is the heart and soul of a yacht charter experience. The crew is the one who transforms a good holiday into an exceptional sailing holiday. Hence, we are just as passionate about presenting the crew from the yachts in our fleet as we are the yachts themselves. This week, we introduce you to the crew from the luxury sailing yacht NAVILUX.

Dubrovnik, famously called the ‘pearl of the Adriatic’ by English romantic poet Lord Byron, is a majestic Baroque masterpiece on Croatia’s southern coast. An imperative part of any Croatian sailing itinerary, Dubrovnik impresses with its medieval defensive walls, which wrap around its UNESCO-protected old town. Where old meets new, Dubrovnik’s historical and cultural heritage makes way for modern travelers today, and many of the distinguished town’s best experiences are found in its museums. Some recount Dubrovnik’s antiquity, while others share more recent times, but all museums in Dubrovnik let you dive deeper into a town with compelling stories to tell.

We’ve already pointed out some of the best coastal towns in the Istria region where you must stop on your next luxury yacht charter, but what about some of the gems that sit inland or the smaller coastal towns you might otherwise skip?

The picturesque Poreč is a popular tourist destination located in the heart of Istria’s western coast, where culture, tourism, sports, and entertainment thrive. A multi-awarded city applauded for its orderliness and cleanliness, this seaside town also flourishes with many attractions and activities for visitors, from beaches to historical landmarks, cultural events, and outdoor activities.

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a luxury yacht charter? Probably sun, sea, incredible food, fun, and relaxation, right? And you’d be correct (that and so much more)! Terms and contracts don’t really fit in this picture. However, to get to the fun and relaxation, there is a little paperwork that needs to happen.
