Malena is a 26-metre motor yacht built in 2002 and completely renovated in 2024, combining timeless elegance with contemporary comfort. With a beam of 6.4 metres and a draft of 2.6 metres, she delivers a stable platform for cruising the Croatian coast at a comfortable 10-knot cruising speed. Her natural, understated interior design philosophy emphasises spaciousness and relaxation, with thoughtfully appointed cabins and generous deck areas that invite both socialising and contemplative solitude.
The vessel accommodates ten guests across five well-appointed cabins, served by a professional crew of four—captain, chef, and two sailors—who ensure every detail of your charter experience unfolds seamlessly. The 4,000-litre water tank supports extended cruising, whilst air conditioning operates for up to six hours daily when moored, maintaining comfort during warm Mediterranean nights.
Malena's recent comprehensive renovation has preserved her classic charm whilst infusing modern conveniences throughout. The natural materials and timeless design aesthetic create an atmosphere of understated luxury, where guests feel immediately at home. Her shallow 2.6-metre draft permits access to secluded anchorages and shallow coves inaccessible to larger vessels, opening intimate corners of the Croatian archipelago to exploration.
The generous aft deck features a spacious cushioned lounge ideal for evening gatherings, whilst the expansive sunbathing area accommodates ten sun mattresses—inviting leisurely days beneath the Adriatic sky. The large dining area positioned at the aft deck becomes the social heart of your voyage, where chef-prepared meals are enjoyed with uninterrupted views of the surrounding seascape.
The Onboard Experience
Days on the Water
<em>Where comfort meets adventure, and every moment flows with effortless grace.</em>
Malena offers a carefully curated selection of water toys and entertainment to enhance every aspect of your charter. A 5-metre tender with 60HP engine provides flexible exploration, complemented by two stand-up paddle boards perfect for discovering hidden coves and shallow bays. Water enthusiasts will appreciate the inclusion of water skis, a responsive canoe for tranquil paddling, and a donut for spirited towing adventures. Complete snorkelling and fishing equipment invites discovery of the crystalline depths and local marine life that characterise the Adriatic.
Onboard entertainment includes a television and DVD system for evening relaxation, internet connectivity to remain connected (or deliberately disconnect), and a comprehensive music system that sets the ambiance throughout the vessel. The spacious cushioned lounge at the aft deck becomes a natural gathering place, with ten sun mattresses arrayed across the expansive sunbathing area—a sanctuary for soaking in the Mediterranean sunshine. The large dining area at the aft deck serves as the culinary and social centrepiece, where meals prepared by your chef are savoured with unobstructed views of the surrounding seascape.
Interior amenities include a coffee machine for morning rituals, an ice maker for refreshing beverages, climate control throughout, and a dining table for inclement-weather meals. Storage space in all cabins, 24V and 220V electricity, and individual night lamps ensure practical comfort, whilst daily cabin service maintains the yacht in pristine condition. Bathroom facilities feature home-style toilets and shower enclosures equipped with essential amenities, with four towels per person provided weekly alongside one beach towel per person.
Guest Accommodation
Suites Above the Sea
<em>An intimate sanctuary designed for rest and rejuvenation.</em>
Malena accommodates ten guests across five thoughtfully appointed cabins, each designed to deliver comfort and privacy. The accommodation comprises four double cabins, each featuring a double bed and an ensuite bathroom with a home-style toilet and shower enclosure, alongside one twin cabin with two single beds and matching ensuite facilities. All cabins are equipped with individual storage space, 24-volt and 220-volt electrical outlets, and individual night lamps, whilst air conditioning operates for up to six hours daily when the vessel is moored.
Daily cabin service ensures your quarters remain immaculate throughout your charter, with fresh linens, towels, and beach towels provided weekly. The ensuite bathrooms in all cabins feature home-style toilets, shower enclosures, and are stocked with complimentary shampoo, soap, hair dryer, and toilet paper. Each guest receives a set of four towels per week, plus one beach towel, ensuring luxurious comfort throughout your voyage.
The cabin layout optimises space and flow, creating intimate private retreats that feel far larger than their dimensions suggest. Natural light and ventilation throughout, combined with the understated natural interior aesthetic, create an atmosphere of calm and tranquillity—the perfect counterpoint to active days spent exploring the Adriatic's stunning coastline and vibrant anchorages.

The Adriatic’s Best-Kept Secret
Malena is ideally suited for exploring Croatia's spectacular Adriatic coast and island archipelago. The shallow 2.6-metre draft permits access to intimate anchorages and secluded coves unreachable by larger vessels, whilst the 10-knot cruising speed allows unhurried progression through the crystal-clear Croatian waters. Whether based from Split, Dubrovnik, Šibenik, or Trogir, your charter route can be tailored to reveal both celebrated highlights and hidden local treasures.
A signature seven-day itinerary might unfold from Split through Komiza and Hvar, discovering the lavender-scented islands and Dalmatian character, before traversing to Milna and Trogir—ancient maritime settlements brimming with Mediterranean history. From Trogir, the voyage continues to Drvenik and Primošten, each anchorage offering opportunities for snorkelling, swimming, fishing, and exploration. The route culminates in Šibenik, home to three UNESCO-protected waterfalls and a labyrinthine old town rising from the waterfront. Throughout your charter, the professional crew—captain, chef, and two sailors—provide local knowledge, culinary expertise, and attentive service, whilst your chef sources the finest local ingredients to craft memorable meals featuring fresh seafood, Croatian wines, and regional specialities.
The mild Mediterranean climate, with nearly 250 days of annual sunshine, makes May through October an ideal season for Croatian exploration. Peak summer (July–August) offers warm, settled weather perfect for sunbathing and water sports, whilst the shoulder months of May, September, and October deliver cooler temperatures, fewer crowds at popular anchorages, and enhanced opportunities for authentic connection with local communities. The Croatian coast's 5,000 kilometres of shoreline and more than 1,300 islands ensure that no two charters are identical—each voyage unfolds as a bespoke experience shaped by your interests, the season, and the ocean's gentle rhythms.
