LOTUS

About The Yacht

Gulet Lotus was built in 2006 by Huzur Yat - one of the finest Turkish shipyards when it comes to luxury yachts building. This boutique gulet was built for a private owner, a passionate wealthy sailor who decided to sell it in 2018, as he could not find enough time in his busy schedule to enjoy it. During 12 years of his ownership, the main engine of the yacht had less than 300 working hours.

In August 2018, the yacht was purchased by a Croatian owner to be introduced as a new entry to the luxury yacht charter market in Croatia for the season 2019.

Lotus is the epitome of traditional elegance. Her sleek and eye-catching looks make a statement at every port or shore. Equipped with the serious sailing equipment which ensures proper sailing experience onboard she simultaneously demonstrates high performance and comfort.

Gulet Lotus comprises a stylish interior that includes four spacious cabins: master, two doubles, and one twin. The salon is spacious and airy, surrounded by big windows. This sense of openness continues on deck with the indoors and outdoors blending seamlessly into each other and plenty of space for alfresco dining as well as endless opportunities for both relaxation and entertainment as she is well supplied with water sports equipment.

If you are looking for a charter to bring a sense of Zen-like calm back into your life, Lotus could well be it.

Amazing vacation with lots of great memories! July 2023 16.07.2023.

Amazing vacation on Lotus. Lotus is a beautiful boat. Two master staterooms, beautifully decorated. One cabin with full bed one with twin bed all with their own bathroom. Shaded dining on back of boat. Gorgeous salon. Boat has waverunner, kayak, paddle board, ski’s, tube, snorkeling gear. We can not say enough about the Captain, Roko and crew, Josipa, Marin, and Jure. Jure is the chef and we had the most amazing meals, we will probably need to be rolled home. Full breakfast, lunch, and dinner, great wines. We asked Roko to take us to some private coves and also took his suggestions on ports. Every spot seemed better than the next. I also want to say that every person we came into contact with told us what an amazing human Roko is, we definitely concur!!! We have so enjoyed getting to know Roko and his crew. Thanks to them for an amazing vacation with lots of great memories. We cannot recommend highly enough!!!

Thanks a lot, Lotus crew, I hope to see you again next year! July, 2021 31.07.2021.

During our trip, one of us noted one feature about our crew and Croats in general: “God, what good people they are! How they want to please us in everything.!”

But the longer I thought about it I realized that they are not just eager to flatter us, that is also the way they are because they love their country and they clearly understand its economic interests. They just get better and better every year. That is why I’ve been spending my vacation in Croatia for 7 years now. Thanks a lot, Lotus crew, I hope to see you again next year!

The boat was impressive! 27.06.2021.

It was wonderful. The food was outstanding and inventive. The boat was impressive. The food really blew us away! The presentation and quality were superb. In many
cases, the portion size was actually too much. We enjoyed the paddleboard and the kayak. Yacht very clean and well-maintained.

Until next time, sunny regards!

Everyone had the time of their lives! June, 2019 20.06.2019.

Hi Ivana!

We could not have asked for a better crew, a more beautiful boat, or a more wonderful gracious country. Everyone had the time of their lives - two people actually got engaged! It has been the perfect vacation in everyone way. If there is any better boat or better service - we can’t imagine it.

Thanks to each of you for your contribution and endless help. Helena - you went above and beyond today when taking the time to come to the boat and meet me. I am sorry if I was hurried and couldn’t talk longer and get to know you. We had to hurry and get off the boat given the short time we had to disembark. You were a delight!

Again - your management and patience with me and our guest's questions and concerns were handled beautifully!

M.V., USA
