M/S AURUM SKY | 2020

Best for: larger groups and multi-generational families, with corporate or incentive groups a close second.

Built in 2020 by Odisej d.o.o. and measuring 43.5 metres, M/S AURUM SKY is one of the most generously proportioned motor yachts available on the Adriatic. The standout is sheer volume: six double en suite cabins each running between 20 and 25 square metres (two convertible to twin configuration) for up to 12 guests, a nearly 100-square-metre lounge and stern dining area, and a 120-square-metre flybridge complete with Jacuzzi and sunbathing space. That is a rare amount of room to breathe aboard a crewed charter yacht.

An eight-person crew, including captain, chef, engineer, deckhand, steward and stewardess, handles everything from tailored Adriatic itineraries to morning deck workouts led by the steward. The chef works with fresh local and seasonal produce to deliver Mediterranean cooking, with international menus on request. For active guests, the toy list covers two Yamaha wave runners, two SeaBob F5S units, four SUPs, water skis, wakeboard, inflatable canoes, fishing gear and more. Based in Šibenik, she is ideally placed for Croatia's island-studded central Dalmatian coast.
