## General

Anthea is a 52-metre custom motor [yacht](/what-is-a-yacht/) built in 2021 by the Croatian shipyard Radez, based in Korčula, and operated by Odisej Ltd. The interior design is the work of Ania Grubisa, whose scheme makes use of walnut flooring, timber panelling, leather sofas, and blue armchairs throughout the saloon spaces, with panoramic windows and glass sliding doors on all levels. Following a refit in 2025, the yacht is based at ACI Marina Split.

Anthea is a flybridge superyacht measuring 52 metres in length and 8.5 metres in beam, powered by two Volvo engines producing 500 hp each, giving a cruising speed of 10 knots and a top speed of 12 knots. The layout runs across three principal decks. The upper deck aft lounge is a versatile social space fitted with sofas, a dining table for twenty, a barbecue, a backlit bar, and a pull-down projector and screen; a retractable glass partition connects it to the inner saloon, allowing the two areas to function as one larger event space. The bridge deck carries a sundeck jacuzzi with LED lighting and a surround sound system. The main deck saloon is light and airy, and the upper deck dining room includes a piano with wraparound windows. A gym with exercise equipment and a sauna sit on the main deck, with the option to convert the space for massage use.

A notable and well-documented feature of Anthea is her private organic garden, maintained just off the Adriatic coast and dedicated exclusively to the yacht. The garden supplies the onboard chef with seasonal vegetables, fruits, and herbs, supporting a garden-to-table dining approach that is considered distinctive on the Adriatic charter market. Charter rates are from {price_from}, plus [APA](/advanced-provisioning-allowance-apa/) and local tax, shown in full.

## Accommodation & Crew

Anthea accommodates up to 20 guests across ten en-suite cabins. Four cabins are situated on the lower deck and six on the main deck. The [cabin](/what-is-a-cabin/) configuration comprises one master cabin and nine further double or VIP cabins; four of the ten can be converted to twin-bed arrangement to suit single guests or families with children. Each cabin measures between 22 and 28 square metres and is fitted with a king-size bed, en-suite bathroom, walk-in wardrobe, Smart TV, and intercom.

## Location

Anthea is based at ACI Marina Split on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia, one of the best-connected marina bases on the Adriatic. The central Dalmatian position provides straightforward access to the islands of Hvar, Brač, Šolta, and Vis to the south and west, as well as the UNESCO-listed historic core of Trogir a short distance to the north-west. From Split, itineraries can extend south along the Dalmatian coast to the Pelješac peninsula, Mljet National Park, and Dubrovnik, or north into the Šibenik archipelago and the Kornati islands. Montenegro is within range for extended programmes. The yacht is available for charter throughout the year on the Croatian Adriatic.

Licences
We have not confirmed whether this yacht is crewed or requires a sailing licence. We will check the exact requirements with the operator when you enquire.
Security deposit
A refundable security deposit is taken at the base by card swipe or cash. The exact amount is confirmed at quote time; refunded after handover provided the boat and inventory are returned undamaged.
Cancellation
Cancellation terms are operator-specific and disclosed in the charter contract before payment. As a rule, most Mediterranean operators retain the full charter fee within 30 days of departure; we recommend charter cancellation insurance via a UK broker (typically 4-5% of the charter fee).

Possible routes3 hand-picked itinerariesCroatia · 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.
Frequently asked questions 14 answers Charter basics · deposits · what's included
Does Anthea come with a crew, or is it bareboat?
The operator lists Anthea as available with crew, though we have not independently confirmed the exact arrangement for this specific yacht. Get in touch and we will check the crew and skipper details with the operator before you book.
What experience or licence do we need to charter Anthea?
That depends on the exact crew arrangement, which we have not confirmed for this specific yacht yet. Tell us your experience level when you enquire and we will check with the operator what, if anything, is required.
What's included in the charter price?
The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.
What additional costs should I expect at the base?
Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.
How does the security deposit work?
The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.
Can I cancel my charter booking?
Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.
Is the yacht insured?
Yes: every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.
What documents do I need to bring?
You'll need your passport and proof of payment. We will confirm the exact crew arrangement and any licence requirements with the operator ahead of your charter.
What payment methods are accepted?
Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
What's included, and do we need a skipper?
The operator lists this yacht as crewed, though we have not independently confirmed the exact crew and licence details for this specific hull. Get in touch and we will verify exactly what is included, and whether any sailing experience is needed, with the operator before you book.
Can we sail to a neighbouring country during the charter?
Sometimes, with the operator's written consent and the right paperwork. Common cross-borders: Croatia → Montenegro, Greece → Turkey, BVI → USVI. Most operators charge a one-off cruising-permit fee (typically €100–€300) and need 4–8 weeks' notice. Tell us at quote time and we'll arrange it: spontaneous border-crossing during the trip usually isn't allowed.
Do I need travel insurance on top of the charter insurance?
Yes. The yacht is insured by the operator for damage and third-party liability, but that doesn't cover you. Charter cancellation insurance (typically 4–5% of the charter fee) covers you if you have to cancel last-minute; standard travel insurance covers medical, flight, and personal-effects loss. We can recommend a UK broker that bundles both.
What happens if there's bad weather on the day?
For day-to-day weather you'll plan the week to avoid the worst: the Adriatic and Aegean have very predictable wind patterns. If a serious storm makes the start-day handover impossible, the operator delays check-in until conditions improve and refunds any lost days. The yacht itself is insured against weather damage, so you're not exposed.
Can I hold this yacht while I decide?
Yes: an option holds the yacht in your name for typically 48–72 hours at no cost. Useful if you're waiting on the rest of the crew to confirm, comparing it against another yacht, or sorting flights. Ask us when you enquire and we'll arrange the option with the operator.
