Broker Description About this yacht

Description supplied by the yacht's central agent

NDS EVOLUTION, an 85’ JFA built in 2018, stems from the origin of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, which represents the needs, development, and skills needed to evolve. The origin of the name dates back to the previous boat, which was NDS Darwin where they wanted to improve and broaden the build & technology of the new edition, NDS EVOLUTION. Being able to withstand high seas and even cold and icy waters with its aluminum hull & high technology, NDS EVOLUTION has traveled far & wide from the coasts of Europe to the South Pacific, Antarctica, Alaska, Southwest Pacific, Caribbean, and all places in-between. She was built for adventure and exploring yet also gives off the luxurious feel with an open concept and modern interior & exterior.

NDS EVOLUTION can accommodate up to 9 guests in four beautifully appointed staterooms below deck. The full beam Master Stateroom with its panoramic view features an office desk and a serene corner lounging area with a private access to the forward deck. The guest staterooms consist of two Double and one Triple stateroom, making NDS EVOLUTION an excellent option for families with kids.

After a day on the water, guests can take advantage of the trampoline beds located on the bow, an ideal spot for soaking up the sun or enjoying a starlit evening. The spacious flybridge offers 360-degree view and is equipped with comfortable lounging, making it a perfect spot for cocktails and conversations.

Possible routes 3 hand-picked itineraries

Croatia · the Adriatic

A starting point, not a script: pick one as a template and we'll tailor the dates, stops, and pace to your crew.

Northern Dalmatia & the Kornati Loop7 days · ~110 nm · 5 stops

Kornati National Park is empty coves, no shore power, true wilderness sailing. The route most people quietly call their best charter ever.

1Sukošan / Zadar
Charter base. Stock up on provisions before you leave, the islands are sparse on supermarkets.
2Žut
Sheltered bay with one restaurant pier. Easy first-night anchorage; bring cash for the moorings.
3Telašćica
Long fjord-like bay inside the national park. Swim to the cliff-top salt lake at sunset.
4Sali (Dugi Otok)
Sleepy fishing village with a working harbour. Konoba Roko for lamb peka, order ahead.
5Sukošan return
Half-day sail back; the wind usually fills from NW by lunchtime.
Central Dalmatia · the Hvar Circuit7 days · ~140 nm · 5 stops

Mixes the lively (Hvar town, Bol beach) with the still untouched (Vis, away from the cruise routes).

1Split
Charter base. Diocletian's Palace is worth a half-day before you leave.
2Brač
Bol's Golden Horn beach is the classic stop. Anchor in Lučice for quiet.
3Hvar
Hvar town is the party. Stari Grad on the north coast is the antidote.
4Vis
The far island, fewer charter boats, blue cave excursions, the freshest seafood on the route.
5Šolta
Quiet, close to Split. Maslinica is the prettiest anchorage on the island.
Istria & Kvarner7 days · ~120 nm · 4 stops

Italian-influenced architecture, the warmest water in Croatia by mid-July, fewer charter boats than further south.

1Pula
Roman amphitheatre at the harbour entrance. Charter base.
2Rovinj
Picture-perfect Venetian old town on a peninsula. Marina is small, book.
3Cres
Sparsely populated; griffon vultures overhead. Anchor in Lubenice cove for the cliff views.
4Krk
The largest Adriatic island. Punat marina is full-service if you need provisions or laundry.
