roatia has grown to be one of the most attractive tourist destinations in the Mediterranean, which in turn requires a continuous development of new products and services offered to more and more demanding tourists. At the same time, nautical tourism - comprising charter services - is deďŹ nitely an important part of the whole industry.

In Croatia, it is expanding continuously in all of its segments, while charter services are going through major changes, one of which is an exclusiveness of products and services. In view of such changes, the need for mega yacht charter services becomes real and creates a huge demand that is not currently targeted. Therefore, there is a huge opportunity for a new mega yacht charter service provider. First initiatives for such an endeavour have already been taken: four strong Croatian tourism and charter companies have co-established a new company for providing mega yacht charter

services. Also, a daughter company has been founded in the Caribbean as well. This consortium is investing capital, knowledge and experience in order to develop respectable nautical company for chartering mega yachts and to offer exceptional services and experiences. The vision involves the purchase of three new mega yachts (18, 24 and 35 meters) in the ďŹ rst year of activity. In order to maximize exploitation and revenues, during Croatian off-season (autumn and winter), mega yachts would be transferred to the Caribbean and chartered over there since then is the high season in this part of the world. Practicing this model of operation, mega yachts charter would reach much higher occupancy rate than expected in the Adriatic. Operationally, the daughter company located in the area would run charter services in the Caribbean.

YACHT TRANSPORTATION

10

T

he majority of yachts do not have the range to reach many of the world’s inviting cruising areas. This limitation has been answered by yacht transport, that provides transportation of luxury yachts worldwide. This way of carrying the vessels to distant locations offers the best solution for transporting and delivering valuable yachts from marina to

marina around the world. If yacht transport by cargo ship was not so commonplace two decades ago, it might today be categorized as ‘public transport’, despite its cargo’s marketable value. Today, trans ocean cruising is available to any type of yacht using this safe and dry solution. North Atlantic and America-Europe links are the busiest routes for yacht transportation and the Croatian Caribbean Yacht Charter will also make use of yacht transport as a pleasant, safe and interesting venture.

Design by: NUVOLARI & LENARD

T

he star of our fleet is a luxury 58-meters yacht with unique interior and seven perfectly decorated cabins. This queen oF the sea will be available for charter in the season 2009. The Venetian design studio Nuvolari&Lenard had a special role in the design of this spectacular yacht. The partners, Carlo Nuvolari and Dan Lenard,

are true talents of naval architecture whose unmistakable creative flair is capable of expressing the traditions of each individual yard. One of their strong points is an ability for permanent renewal, demonstrating versatility and operational flexibility. On this 58 meter beauty, following the appearance of traditional tow ships, everything is carefully designed, down to the smallest detail, and that is why we now have such an imposing grace.

T

he Ferretti 780, 24 meters long, is characterized by a completely innovative layout considering its internal details that guarantee ample space. It also presents refined finishes

in teak wood compared to the traditional cherry wood that is normally adopted for a yacht of such dimensions. The design decision to integrate the access ladder to the fly bridge within the wall structure of the yacht offers a continual visual solution from the rear deck facing the bow- thus enlarging the space dedicated to the conversation area featuring double sofas of contemporary design. Light coloured finishes highlight the spirit of the boat, while large window structures allow to live in close contact with the sea, rendering the master cabin and the bathroom area an environment of great elegance to enjoy in full contact with the sea.

GENERAL INFORMATION

W

ith 1778 km of mainland coast, emerald-blue waters of the Adriatic sea, hundreds of secluded pebble and sand beaches and hundreds of virgin islands, Croatia is an ideal destination for lovers of sea and sunshine who want to avoid

crowdy tourist destinations. The Republic of Croatia has - due to its history - a rather peculiar geographic shape, being stretched along the eastern Adriatic and with its hinterland laying in the Panonian flat, between the Sava, Drava and Danube. That’s why in this country, where the Mediterranean, the eastern slopes of the Alps and the Pannonian plains come - within just a little more than hundred kilometres - together in a unique harmony of natural beauty, you can come across excitingly different landscapes. The Croatian Adriatic, with one of the most indented coastlines in Europe and its 1185 islands, islets and rocks, of which only 66 are inhabited, is undoubtedly the most popular country’s tourist destination. Continental

36

Language: Croatian; in the tourist regions also English, German and Italian widely spoken Population: 4.43 million Climate: Croatia has a varied climate, with continental climate conditions in the northern and eastern parts and mediterranean ones along the Adriatic coast Currency: Kuna (HRK), 1 EUR=7,4 HRK

Croatia, however, also abounds in beauty: it is a land of forests, rivers rich in fish, swift mountain streams and deep gorges of Gorski Kotar, and the magnificent Plitvice Lakes in the Lika region. It is a land of golden wheat fields, oak woods and wide rivers of Slavonia and Baranja, a land of quaint little villages, romantic castles and manors, and picturesque rolling hills and vineyards of the Hrvatsko Zagorje. If you are a gourmet and a connoisseur of fine food, or simply like tasty and healthy dishes, you will certainly more than enjoy Croatia.

Another attraction certainly worth exploring are Croatia’s wine cellars. Red wines are best along the coast - Teran, Cabernet and Merlot in Istria and Opolo, Plavac, Dingač and Postup in Dalmatia. In the coastal area, some quality white wines are also produced, such as Pinot, Malvazija, Maraština and White Muskat. The Brijuni Archipelago in the north part of the Adriatic is one of seven Croatian National Parks, abounding in rare plant and animal species,

If you decide to have dinner in the city, you’ll have a hard time trying to decide where, but we recommend Orsan, owned by the Gverović family, situated at a former boat repair shop at the eastern part of the cove - so you can have a great meal and enjoy looking at your boat anchored amid cove or at the concrete dock right in front the restaurant, where the water is 5 m deep.

NATURE’S PLAYGROUND AND CULTURAL THRILL

T

he Caribbean is known throughout the world for its incredible beauty, both natural and cultural. From gorgeous beaches to historic sights and glittering casinos, there are plenty of places travellers enjoy stopping at and taking in during their vacations. One aspect of the Caribbean that cannot be overlooked is the gorgeous

beachfront scenery it offers. From the pristine white sands of Aruba and many other islands to the colourful pink and black sands found throughout the region, you may never feel as though you’ve seen it all. And, of course, it’s hard to ignore the crystalline waters that edge these sandy stretches of heaven. However, this is just the beginning of what the Caribbean has to offer, so many travellers choose to spend time inland as well. Nature in the Caribbean can mean everything from volcanic peaks to deep valleys, natural springs, rainforests, and even deserts. The islands each offer their own unique wildlife and beautiful plants for travellers who spend a bit of time inland. Natural beauty is the selling point for many of the Caribbean islands, especially those popular with eco-tourists. And, of course, over the years the European squabbles over these beautiful islands resulted in an incredible mix of architecture and history.

78

Language: Creole is a language that is a varied combination of African syntax and European lexicon, or words. It evolved out of necessity as slaves had to communicate with the European plantation owners.

Derivations include French Creole, with regional dialects in Haiti, Martinique, Guadeloupe, St. Lucia, Dominica and French Guyana; Papiamento, a Dutch, Portuguese, English and African blend; and Patwa in Jamaica.

Size: Situated largely on the Caribbean Plate, the area comprises more than 7,000 islands, islets, reefs, and cays.

Climate: Apart from the Bahamas, most of the other Caribbean countries are located in the tropical zone and usually experience warm, humid conditions. The region experiences the northeasterly trade winds that bring moisture from the Atlantic Ocean. Temperatures in the region are not significantly variable as they range from around 28 degrees Celsius in the hotter months (July-August) to around 24 degrees Celsius in the cooler months (January-February). The Caribbean region typically experiences stormy weather, called hurricanes. The hurricane season falls between June and November. However, most hurricanes tend to form during the month of September.

Currency: The economy of the Caribbean is closely connected to the economy of the United States.

Some of the islands’ currencies are directly linked to the United States dollar (USD), keeping a fixed exchange rate at all times.

The island of Anguilla, which also comprises the island of Sombrero and a number of smaller islands and cays, is small and ideal if you want to get away from it all. The main resorts are based around the hotels, many of which are situated off the islands’ white coral beaches which are regarded as among the most beautiful in the world. A leisurely exploration of the idyllic shoreline is thus recommended.

Restaurants are excellent and offer a mixture of Continental, American and Anguillan dishes with the emphasis on seafood, including lobster, conch and a variety of fish.

Antiguans claim to have a different beach for every day of the year and their island’s many beautiful soft, sandy beaches and coves certainly constitute its main attraction. Low-lying and volcanic in origin, Antigua & Barbuda form part of the Leeward Islands. Barbuda lies 40 km (25 miles) north of Antigua and is an unspoiled natural haven for wild deer and exotic birds. The beaches are excellent with coastal waters rich with all types of crustaceans and tropical fish. You can cool down with a local drink such as ice-cold fruit juice or, should you prefer something stronger, Antigua-produced red or white rum.

St Lucia is the second-largest of the Windward Islands. It has some of the finest mountain scenery in the West Indies, rich with tropical vegetation. For one small island, St. Lucia has a great variety of plant and animal life. Orchids and exotic plants of the genus anthurium grow wild in the rainforests and the roadsides are covered with many colourful tropical flowers. Flamboyant trees spread shade and blossom everywhere. Indigenous wildlife includes a species of ground lizard unique to St Lucia, and the agouti and the manicou, two rodents, common throughout the island. The Amazona versicolor parrot is another, though more elusive, inhabitant of the deep interior rainforest. The highest peak is Mount Gimie at 950m (3117ft). Most spectacular are Gros Piton and Petit Piton, ancient volcanic, forestcovered cones which rise out of the sea off the west coast. Soufri (vents in a volcano which exude hydrogen sulphide, steam and other gases) and boiling waterpools can be seen here. The mountains are intersected by short rivers which in some areas form broad fertile valleys. The island has excellent beaches and is surrounded by a clear, warm sea.

The British Virgin Islands make up the larger part of an archipelago of islands and cays forming the northern extremity of the Leeward Islands in the eastern Caribbean. The British Virgin Islands comprise 56 islands, rocks and cays, but only 16 are inhabited. The islands are volcanic in origin, with the exception of Anegada, which is formed of coral and limestone and is the lowest lying. In general, the atmosphere is quiet and uncommercialised, with miles of beautiful

unspoilt beaches. The islands are situated in one of the finest sailing areas in the world. Tortola is linked by a bridge to Beef Island, site of the international airport. Road Town, on the south coast, is the capital of the British Virgin Islands. It has a colourful market and delightful West Indian-style houses. Many of the best beaches are on the northern part of the island, with names such as Smugglers’ Cove, Long Bay, Cane Garden Bay and Brewer’s Bay. Local island specialities include conch stew, shark and other fish delicacies.

volcanoes make this a fascinating and diverse landscape with some of the finest beaches in the world. In the capital, St George’s, The Carenage, a picturesque inner harbour with 18th-century warehouses and restaurants, the botanical gardens and Fort George (built by the French in 1705) are all worth a visit. Travelling north from the capital towards Spice Country, visitors pass through some of the prettiest fishing villages on the island. Levera Bay and Grand Anse are considered to be two of the island’s best beaches. The highest waterfall is Mount Carmel with two falls cascading over 21m (70ft) to clear pools below. Local specialities include calaloo soup, crabs, conches and nutmeg ice-cream. The local rum and beer, Carib, is excellent. The nightlife is based in hotels, with discos, organised shows and cabarets.

Grande-Terre (separated from Basse-Terre by a narrow sea channel) and five smaller islands. Basse-Terre has a rough volcanic relief whilst Grande Terre features rolling hills and flat plains. All the islands have beautiful white or black sand palm-fringed beaches.

There are also many lush mountainous areas with stunning and unspoiled tropical scenery. Pointe-à-Pitre, the commercial capital of Guadeloupe, is a gracious town with a pleasant square at its core.

It has an active, lively port with many narrow streets to explore.

On Basse-Terre, Sainte-Marie-de-Capesterre, where Columbus landed, should be visited, as should the Hindu temple to its south.

displays of local dancing and music. The famous dance of the

island is called the Biguine, where colourful and ornate Creole costumes are still worn.

When Christopher Columbus discovered Martinique he said it was ‘the most beautiful country in the world’, naming it in honour of St Martin. Before then, the area was inhabited by Arawak and Carib Indians and was called Madinina (‘island of flowers’) by the native population. Each year, hundreds of thousands of visitors are drawn to Martinique’s picturesque volcanic landscape, its fine black, white or peppered sand beaches surrounded by sugar, palm, banana and pineapple plantations. The island’s location also makes it a stopping-off point for cruise ships. Most Martiniquais are of mixed ancestry, being the descendants of 17th century French settlers and slaves brought from Africa to work on the island’s plantations. In addition, visitors won’t escapte zouk, the lively, two-beat local music similar to merengue but unique to the French West Indies. Martinicans are very proud of it and it can be heard everywhere. Finally, one should not leave the island without tasting its rum, considered among the best in the world. It was awarded the prestigious French label ‘appellation d’origine contrôlé’ previously only reserved for French cheeses and wines.

Dominica is the largest and most mountainous of the Windward Islands, with volcanic peaks, mountain streams and rivers, dense forests, quiet lakes, waterfalls, geysers and boiling volcanic pools.

There are beaches of both black (volcanic) and golden sands while orchids and untamed subtropical vegetation grow in the valleys.

Guadeloupe is to the north and Martinique to the south. The capital, Roseau, on the southwest coast, is the main centre for visitors. Morne Trois Pitons National Park, covering 7000 hectares (17,000 acres) in the south-central part of Dominica, was established in 1975.

Places of interest in the park include the Boiling Lake, the secondlargest actively boiling lake in the world, and the Emerald Pool.

Creole dishes include tee-tee-ree (tiny freshly spawned fish), lambi (conch) and agouti (a rodent). Island fruit juices are excellent as is coconut rum punch. There are often folklore evenings with authentic costumes and music.
