Her Story

Built in 2008 at a Croatian shipyard, Altair stands as a remarkable testament to Mediterranean craftsmanship, being the only cruising sailing ship built entirely in Croatia. This 24.5-metre vessel represents a distinctive blend of traditional gulet design elements and contemporary marine technology, with her 7.5-metre beam providing exceptional stability and generous living spaces. Her construction combines the elegance of Croatian sailing heritage with modern engineering, featuring twin 235hp engines and a shallow 2.2-metre draft that allows access to secluded bays and intimate anchorages.

Altair underwent a comprehensive refit in 2019, introducing dual air conditioning systems throughout, refreshed interior décor with designer benches and decorative cushions, new irok deck surfaces, and completely renewed bedding including sheets, duvets, and towels. The bathrooms were updated with pristine white tiles, while new refrigerators and an outdoor grill enhanced the onboard dining experience. Her impressive fuel capacity of 7,500 litres and substantial 17,000-litre water tank ensure extended cruising autonomy along the Dalmatian coast.

The yacht's design philosophy centers on authentic Croatian character, evident in her traditional lines paired with teak and steel construction. Her classic deck layout features a generous forward sunbathing area adorned with comfortable sun mattresses and a cushioned sofa, while the aft deck hosts an elegant alfresco dining area perfect for Mediterranean evenings. Blue awnings with mosquito nets provide flexible weather protection, with the option to fully enclose areas during storms.

Purpose-built for charter along Croatia's stunning coastline, Altair delivers reliable performance as one of the finest sailing cruisers in the Mediterranean, combining the romance of sail-powered travel with the dependability of modern yacht engineering.
