Her Story

Nocturno represents the luxury of stillness, a 48.3-metre vessel where presence and balance create an experience competitive with 50–60 meter superyachts. Completely renovated in 2023, she emerged as a piece of heaven where generous volume meets attentive service from her nine-member crew.

Her impressive beam of 8.4 metres and thoughtful draft of 3.3 metres allow for both spacious interiors and intimate anchorages in secluded Croatian bays. With a comfortable cruising speed of 10 knots, Nocturno moves at the perfect pace for refined slow travel, allowing guests to truly absorb each moment.

The vessel's interior design philosophy centres on warmth and natural materials, creating spaces where abundant light flows effortlessly through serene environments. Every corner invites guests to unwind, from quiet reading nooks to gathering spaces designed for meaningful conversation. The design achieves that rare balance of sophistication and comfort, where luxury simply breathes.

Under the ownership and captaincy of Duje Ercegović, who continues his family's maritime legacy, Nocturno has become synonymous with calm confidence and genuine warmth. For three years, Captain Duje has led a dedicated team that works seamlessly together, creating smooth, attentive experiences where every detail matters yet every moment feels effortless.

The Onboard Experience

Life Above the Waves

Where every moment flows with effortless grace.

Nocturno's sundeck provides the vessel's crown jewel—360-degree views complemented by a sophisticated bar, recreational spaces, and a welcoming lounge centered around an indulgent jacuzzi. This elevated sanctuary becomes the perfect setting for both solitary contemplation and memorable moments shared with family and friends.

The main aft deck offers a sophisticated dining area designed for shaded al fresco meals, where guests can savour the culinary artistry of Chef Dalibor. His personalised menus, crafted with the finest local ingredients, transform every meal into a moment of indulgence, from leisurely breakfasts to intimate sunset dinners.

Adventure awaits with Nocturno's exceptional collection of water toys: twin jet skis and twin SeaBobs lead an impressive fleet that includes an E-Foil, Jetboard, water skiing and wakeboard equipment, a towable sofa, three paddleboards, two kayaks, and a large inflatable platform. This comprehensive array ensures endless aquatic entertainment, whether guests seek adrenaline-fueled excitement or peaceful exploration of hidden Croatian coves.

Modern connectivity flows throughout the vessel with unlimited Wi-Fi, while climate control ensures perfect comfort in every space. The yacht's design seamlessly integrates relaxation zones with socialising areas, creating natural gathering spots that encourage both intimate conversations and larger group celebrations.

Guest Accommodation

Suites Above the Sea

An intimate sanctuary designed for rest and rejuvenation.

Nocturno's six serene cabins blend refined design with first-class comfort, each featuring private en-suite bathrooms with shower boxes and home-style toilets. The accommodation layout centers around two magnificent primary suites: a 40-square-metre master cabin with a king bed measuring 200x200 centimetres, and an even more spacious 44-square-metre VIP cabin featuring a king bed and an indulgent in-cabin bathtub for added luxury.

The vessel's versatility shines through four convertible cabins, each offering 23 square metres of thoughtfully designed space. These ingenious accommodations feature twin single beds measuring 90x200 centimetres that effortlessly convert to form spacious double beds measuring 180x200 centimetres. This flexibility makes Nocturno perfect for families or groups with varying accommodation preferences.

Every cabin showcases the same warm tones and natural materials found throughout the vessel, with abundant light creating an atmosphere of effortless comfort. Premium bedding, modern amenities, and careful attention to privacy ensure each guest enjoys restorative sleep and peaceful moments. The thoughtful design provides both shared experiences and private retreats, making every night aboard feel like a dream above the gentle Adriatic waters.
