EDITOR'S LETTER

WHAT A WO N D E RFUL ( M ARI N E ) WO RL D

Splitski kroničar Miljenko Smoje kazao je kako je malo jedan život za upoznati Dalmaciju. Parafrazirajući Smoju, možemo kazati kako je malo jedan život za uživati u Dalmaciji, a posebno ako imate brod i možete dodirnuti njezin 'morski dio'. S druge strane, baš u ovom izdanju donosimo i malo uvida u plovidbu izvan naših 'teritorijalnih voda', dalje prema sjeveru. Zaključak je da ćete, kojim god jadranskim rutama krenete, pronaći ljepotu na moru, u jedinstvenom okruženju koje ljeti postaje najljepša prirodna pozornica. Da to i dalje ostane tako, danas se trude i brodograditelji, pa vam s ponosom donosimo testove dvaju novih modela najvećih svjetskih grupacija za proizvodnju jahti, Azimut Benettija i Ferrettija. One su, osim prema uživanju na moru, usmjerene k očuvanju okoliša, toga čudesnog svijeta koji nas okružuje dok plovimo.

Split chronicler Miljenko Smoje once said that a lifetime was too short to get to know Dalmatia. Paraphrasing him, we say that one life is too short to enjoy it in Dalmatia, especially if you have a boat and are thus privy to the region’s waterways. Still, in this edition we also shone a little light on sailing outside our home waters, farther north. Our inevitable conclusion – whichever Adriatic route you take, you will find a beautiful world at sea, a unique environment that in the summer months blossoms into the most beautiful natural arena. These days shipbuilders are also doing their part to maintain that beauty, and we tested two models that boast environmental consciousness, by the world's largest yacht builders, Azimut Benetti and Ferretti. Designed to do less harm to the sea they sail through, taking you on an ultimate pleasure cruise, they are helping to save that wonderful (marine) world that welcomes us.

Najnovija faza gradnje A New Construction Step CRN CRN svoju vrhunsku stručnost i dokazane vještine ovaj put koristi za novu custom 70-metarsku jahtu od čelika i aluminija – 145-Project Thunderball, na kojoj je apsolutno svaki detalj prilagođen željama kupca. Krasi je klasična, bezvremenska linija i naglašeno otmjen stil koji u potpunosti odražava viziju vlasnika, a jahta je prilagođena dugim, komfornim, kontemplativnim krstarenjima, a može biti i savršeno pomoćno plovilo za jedriličarske regate. Imat će pet paluba, ukupnu duljinu od 70 metara i širinu od 11 metara, zapreminu od 1100 tona i mjesta za do 12 gostiju i 15 članova posade u iznimnoj udobnosti. Koncept dizajna interijera nadilazi i vrijeme i trendove, održavajući kulturu mora, profinjenost detalja, nautičku tradiciju i sofisticiranost moderne estetike, u potpunosti ih reinterpretirajući s obzirom na novi stil života. Ova potpuno custom megajahta bit će opremljena i sustavom za povećanje energetske učinkovitosti i smanjenje potrošnje goriva, a za porinuće će biti spremna 2026.

Through its in-depth expertise and accomplished skill, CRN carries on the construction phases of a new fully custom vessel: the CRN M/Y 145-Project Thunderball, a 70-metre steel and aluminium superyacht, a totally bespoke design, engineering and handcrafted build.

This new megayacht with its classic, timeless line and a striking sense of style that fully reflects her owner’s vision and requirements for a pleasure ship suited to long, pleasurable, contemplative cruises and as the perfect support vessel for sailing regattas. The megayacht will have five decks, a length overall of 70 metres with a beam of 11 metres and 1100 GT, accommodating up to 12 guests and 15 crew in exceptional comfort. Interior Design concept goes beyond time and fashion. It expresses a culture of the sea, a sophisticated collection of details, a combination of heritage blended with a refined contemporary look, fully reinterpreting them from the latest lifestyle point of view.

This totally bespoke megayacht is fitted with a peak shaving system to increase energy efficiency and slash fuel consumption. It will be ready for launch in 2026.

LÜRSSEN KISMET

Novo svitanje u dizajnu superjahti The Dawn of a New Era LÜ R S S E N Djelo studija Nuvolari-Lenard – Lürssen Kismet ima izuzetno skladne proporcije: dugačka je 122 metra i široka 17,80 metara, što odmah govori koliko je prostrana. Ipak, izuzetan volumen ne narušava njezine otmjene, skladne linije. Veličanstveni jarbol i pramčana figura nalik na jaguara u skoku dodaju određenu veličanstvenost njezinu profilu. Među zanimljivim detaljima su dvoetažni otvoreni ulazni prostor s golemim videozidovima, podvodno kino nazvano Nemo na donjoj palubi, s ekranom od 150 inča, te luksuzni wellness centar sa sedam zvjezdica. Najnovija superjahta koja izlazi iz brodogradilišta Lürssen je Haven, čiji koncept i vanjski dizajn potpisuju Jim Robert Sluijter i Lürssen. Haven ima niski profil s izduljenim, otmjenim, ženstvenim linijama od pramca do krme, koje joj daju određenu sportsku notu. Temeljni element dizajna su vijugavi konkavni elementi koji se protežu cijelim nadgrađem, odražavajući kretanje valova kada ih sunce dodirne pod savršenim kutom. Haven ima ukupnu duljinu od 82 metra i širinu od 12,5 metara, što je svrstava među najveće svjetske superjahte s tri palube.

Designed by Nuvolari-Lenard, Kismet boasts harmonious proportions, with her 122-metre length and 17.80-metre beam, showcasing exceptional volume without compromising her sleek and elegant lines. The majestic mast and the bow figure, resembling a leaping jaguar, add a distinctive touch of grandeur to her profile. Highlights include a two-level open-plan entrance area adorned with sweeping video walls, a Nemo cinema on the lower deck featuring a 150-inch television and an underwater seating area, and a luxurious 7-star wellness area. The latest superyacht to leave the shipyard Lürssen is Haven. The concept and exterior design of HAVEN were developed inhouse at Lürssen by Jim Robert Sluijter. Haven features a low profile with long, elegant, feminine lines that sweep from bow to stern, lending her a touch of majestic athleticism.

Key to her design are sinuous concave patterns that run across her superstructure, reflecting the movement of waves when the sun is in the right position. Haven has a length overall of 82 metres and a beam of 12.5 metres, placing her among the world’s largest trideck superyachts afloat today.

YACHTING Prva potpuno aluminijska superjahta First All-Aluminium Superyacht Launched CUSTOM LINE Novi najveći model Custom Line porinut je u pogonu grupe Ferretti u Anconi. Prva custom gradnja od legure u segmentu od 50 metara u potpunosti je izgrađena od legure aluminija. Ima istisninski trup ispod 499 GT, dugačka je 49,94 m i široka 9,60 m, proteže se na četiri palube i ima raspored prostorija organiziran oko vlasničkog apartmana na pramcu glavne palube. Custom Line 50 ima vlasničku kabinu okruženu ostakljenim površinama s pogledom od 180 stupnjeva, a na raspolaganju ima i veliku privatnu terasu s veličanstveno prostranim i potpuno privatnim salonom i sunčalištem. Nova superjahta Custom Line ima još četiri VIP kabine na donjoj palubi, za ukupno 12 gostiju, te kabine za devet članova posade, uključujući i skipera, čija se kabina nalazi pored upravljačkog mjesta. Custom Line 50 će se svijetu predstaviti ove jeseni na sajmu u Monaku.

FEADSHIP 821

FEADSHIP 713

Era gorivih ćelija Fuel-Cell Era FEADSHIP Otmjeni sivoplavi trup i bijelo nadgrađe nedavno porinute jahte dugačke 59,50 metara, zasad poznate samo kao Feadship Projekt 713, predstavlja još jedan korak kuće prema klimatskoj neutralnosti do 2030. Projekt 713 je prvi Feadship koji nosi solarne ćelije za pomoćnu proizvodnju energije, a opremljen je dizelsko-električnim pogonom i može koristiti i nefosilno gorivo, kao i svi drugi modeli Feadshipa. I Feadship Projekt 821 pun je inovacija i daje odgovor na jedno važno pitanje – koje su granice zelene tehnologije na superjahtama? Novi Feadship je svestran, ne koristi dizelski pogon i stvoren je za krstarenje sa svime potrebnim za komfor, ali bez emisija. Dimenzije projekta 821 od gotovo 100 metara, kojem će pogon biti zeleni vodik, čine ga sjajnim kandidatom za istraživanje čistog zelenog vodika kao izvora snage. Jedna od najvećih prepreka je prihvatljiv način skladištenja komprimiranog tekućeg vodika ispod palube na -253°C – na luksuznoj jahti. Projekt 821 također ima najučinkovitiji sustav povrata topline, koji je dovoljno efikasan i snažan da grije sve na jahti; od bazena, jacuzzija i parne sobe do temperature zraka, radijatora za ručnike i podova u kupaonicama. Najnoviji Feadship je ujedno i najveća motorna jahta koja će biti porinuta u Nizozemskoj.

LJETO SUMMER 2024

With her elegant blue-grey hull and white superstructure, the newly launched 59.50-metre Project 713 represents yet another progressive step by Feadship towards its goal of being climate neutral by 2030.

Project 713 is the first Feadship to carry solar cells for auxiliary power generation. She is fitted with diesel-electric propulsion and the ability to run on non-fossil HVO, like all other Feadships. Another Feadship – innovation-packed Project 821 – is the answer to a fundamental question: ‘How far can we push green technology on superyachts?’ Feadship's bold response was a multi-faceted, zero-diesel approach designed to cruise and to operate with emission-free power from green hydrogen. The size of the proposed yacht – 100-metres-plus – made it a good candidate to explore pure green hydrogen as the fuel-cell source. One of the biggest hurdles would be developing a reasonable way to store compressed liquid hydrogen below deck at -253°C aboard a luxury yacht.

Project 821 also features the most efficient waste heat recovery system yet developed, a system heating everything from the pool, Jacuzzi and steam room to the ambient air temperature and towel bars and floors in the guest bathrooms. She's also the largest motor yacht ever launched in Netherlands.

The new Custom Line flagship has entered the water at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona, the first made-to-measure alloy construction in the 50-metre segment.

Designed and built entirely from aluminium, with a displacement hull under 499 GT, a length of 49.94 m and a beam of 9.60 m, the new Custom Line 50 extends across four decks, with a layout design centred around the master suite forward on the upper deck.

The owner’s stateroom, surrounded by windows that offer a 180-degree view, provides direct access to a large private terrace in the bow, featuring a beautifully spacious and completely private lounge area with sunpad.

The superyacht has four more VIP cabins on the lower deck, accommodating a total of 12 guests on board and nine crew, including the captain whose cabin is located next to the wheelhouse. Custom Line 50 will make her world debut at the Monaco Yacht Show 2024.

Evolucija forme i funkcije An Evolution of Form and Function SUNSEEKER Sunseeker Predator 55 utjelovljuje 30 godina evolucije dizajna unutar jedne proizvodne serije i pokazuje Sunseekerovu predanost progresivnim inovacijama od početaka, od 1994. Profinjenost i uzbuđenje stapaju se u ovoj jahti od 55 stopa koju krase očekivana kvaliteta i performanse, te koja nudi luksuzni prostor s tri kabine i otvorenom glavnom palubom. Izvana dominira kosi kruti krov, kojim se postiže nizak profil, sušta suprotnost većini jahti od 55 stopa. Glavna karakteristika koja definira Predator 55 je pomično ostakljenje, a zanimljiv je i krovni prozor od karbona integriran u kruti krov. Unutarnji

LJETO SUMMER 2024

raspored može se prilagoditi specifičnim zahtjevima vlasnika, pa se tako kuhinja s glavne palube može preseliti na donju palubu i zamijeniti sofom i TV-om koji se diže i spušta po potrebi. Ovo je prva jahta s interijerima novog tipa, koji je Sunseeker oblikovao u bliskoj suradnji s kućom Design Unlimited.

Sunseeker Predator 55 nudi mnogo uzbuđenja u plovidbi, sa svoja dva Volvo Penta IPS 950 turbomotora s kompresorom. Vlasnici mogu odabrati konfiguraciju koja nadmašuje čak i ono što se najčešće očekuje od superautomobila: sa svojih 1450 KS, jahta postiže brzinu od 36 čvorova.

The arrival of the Sunseeker Predator 55 marks 30 years of design evolution for a single model range, demonstrating Sunseeker’s commitment to progressive innovation since 1994. Refinement and excitement converge in this 55-foot yacht, defined by its renowned performance quality and luxurious expanse of three cabins and open main deck. The exterior has a sloping hardtop design, creating a low profile that stands apart from most 55-foot yachts. The defining characteristic of the Predator 55 is the retractable glazing and carbon fibre sunroof integrated into the hardtop. The interior layout can be

modified to suit an owner’s exact requirements. The main deck galley can be moved to the lower deck and replaced with a sofa and riseand-fall TV. This is the first yacht to feature an all-new interior collection, curated in close collaboration with Design Unlimited. Also, the Predator 55 offers more than unbelievable driving.

Prvi model s velikom autonomijom First of the Long Range Series SOLARIS POWER Novi Solaris Power 70 nudi mnogo prostora, vrhunsku udobnost i prepoznatljiv elegantni stil. Idealan odnos između prostora na palubi i ispod palube omogućuje gostima lako kretanje i puni užitak života na pučini, a veliki prozori otvaraju pogled prema moru. Krmeni kokpit i plaža su ono što će prvo privući pogled na modelu Solarisa 70 Long Range, dva elementa koji su jamac komfora i zabave. Fly paluba ima površinu od 40 četvornih metara i podijeljena je na tri funkcionalna prostora: stražnju palubu za sunčanje, vanjsku blagovaonicu i još jednu palubu za sunčanje, zaštićenu vjetrobran-

skim staklom ispred vozačkog mjesta. Svi ovi prostori mogu se prilagoditi željama vlasnika. Krmena garaža je dovoljno prostrana za jet ski duljine do četiri metra, a na vodu se spušta bočno. Paluba je na tom dijelu posebno dobro promišljena za smještanje što većeg broja vodenih igračaka. Zahvaljujući obliku pramca s proširenjem u obliku zvijezde, novi Solaris 70 glatko klizi valovima, a paluba mu je uvijek suha. Oblik trupa je razrađen i dizajniran u sinergiji sa stručnjacima odjela Volvo IPS, pa model ima nisku potrebu za gorivom i veliku autonomiju, više od 600 milja pri brzini krstarenja.

New Solaris Power 70 offers large volumes, superior comfort and unmistakable elegance. Ideal proportions between on-deck and below-deck spaces afford occupants ease of movement and full enjoyment of life onboard. The large windows offer continuous contact with the sea. The aft cockpit and beach area are the core features of the new Solaris 70 Long Range, making for high levels of comfort and ease.

The flybridge is 40 square meters wide encompassing three living areas: an aft sundeck, a second dining table, and forward of the driving position another sundeck, protected by

the windscreen. All these spaces can be customized according to the customer's wishes.

The stern garage can accommodate a 4-metre water-jet tender arranged longitudinally and served by the movement of the beach area bridge. Its size allows you to store various water toys. The new Solaris 70, thanks to the star-shaped flared bow rides smoothly over the waves and its deck is always dry. The hull shape has been researched and designed in synergy with the Volvo IPS power plant, resulting in low fuel consumption and therefore longer range (over 600 miles at cruising speed).

YACHTING Novi motorni katamaran New Yacht Power Catamaran AQUILA Aquila Power Catamarans predstavlja nešto sasvim novo sa svojim modelom Aquila 50 Yacht, nasljednikom popularnog modela Aquila 48.

Novi model srednje veličine savršeno se smješta između modela Aquila 44 Yacht i Aquila 54 Yacht, kao odgovor na specifične želje kupaca vezane uz spoj popularnog stila kuće i avanturističkog duha. Aquila 50 Yacht zadržava inovativni stil koji je već odavno sinonim za brend i pomalo podsjeća na nedavno predstavljeni model Aquila 42 Yacht. Međutim, za razliku od njega, krasi ga prepoznatljiva estetika tipa explorer, ponajprije visoki bokovi nad vodom nadahnuti radnim brodovima.

Model Aquila 50 predstavit će se javnosti na međunarodnom sajmu nautike u Fort Lauderdaleu ove jeseni.

The Aquila 50 Yacht retains the innovative styling that has become synonymous with the brand, echoing the recently launched Aquila 42 Yacht. However, it also incorporates a distinctive explorer aesthetic, featuring a high freeboard for a more capable look. The Aquila 50 Yacht will make its first public appearance at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in Fall.

Sudionici su imali priliku uživati u izvanrednoj kombinaciji gastronomskih delicija i vina.

YACHTING Povratak regatama Back to Racing X -YA C H T S Kada potpuno novi XR 41 prijeđe startnu liniju sljedeće godine, ulog će biti visok. Ambicija graditelja su uvjerljivi rezultati u ORC 2025, a vrlo rano su odlučili i da ovaj model neće biti dio još jedne dizajnerske klase. Umjesto toga, osmišljen je potpuno novi pristup relevantnim parametrima, pa se tako XR 41 može kontinuirano razvijati, a godišnje nadogradnje bit će ponuđene svim vlasnicima. Sve moguće preinake nudi sam graditelj. Važan aspekt novog modela bila je i dugovječnost, uključujući preprodajnu vrijednost. Svi znamo da X-Yachts gradi brodove koji traju desetljećima, a XR 41 nije samo regatni model, nego i privatni brod za sportsko krstarenje. S tim ciljem, elementi interijera su građeni modularno, mogu biti uklonjeni za regate i vraćeni na mjesto kasnije. Novi XR 41 je dostupan u dvije verzije, Race i Sport, a službeno će se predstaviti na sajmu Boot Düsseldorf 2025. godine.

The stakes are high when the brand new XR 41 crosses the start line next year. The ambition is to show strong results under the ORC in 2025. An early decision was made not to make this another one design class. Instead, a completely new way of approaching changing rating parameters was devised: The XR 41 can be continuously developed, and annual upgrades will be offered to all the owners. Modifications can be done at the yard. An important aspect has been safeguarding the future of the boat, including resale value. X-Yachts is known to build boats that last for decades, and the XR 41 is not only a racer – it’s also designed for sporty cruising. To accommodate this, parts of the interior is built in modules that can be removed for racing and reinstalled for fast cruising. Also, the XR 41 comes in two versions: Race and Sport. The XR 41 will be officially launched at Boot Düsseldorf in 2025.

ISTION

Istion je u svoju najnoviju plovidbenu avanturu zaplovio 13. travnja, iz svoje potpuno nove baze za najam jahti u Skradinu. Putovanje je uključivalo plovidbu kroz Zlarin i Kornat, pristajanje u uvali Telašćica, sidrenje s pogledom na prelijepi zalazak sunca na otoku Kapriju i za kraj te hrvatske avanture – posjet čudesnom Primoštenu. Zbog kratkih ruta i raznolikosti krajolika kojima prolazi, kao i zbog lokalne kulture i tradicije tih mjesta, Kup nudi jedinstvenu avanturu za jedriličare, obitelji i prijatelje

bez obzira na razinu nautičke vještine, pa je sjajna prilika za grupe prijatelja ili obitelji da se okušaju u regatnom jedrenju.

Ako niste jedriličar, i dalje možete unajmiti jahtu s posadom i ukrcati se sa svojim najdražima, te uživati u ovom iskustvu u sigurnim rukama profesionalnog skipera. Flota Istiona sastoji se od ukupno četrnaest novih jahti iz 2023.: sedam modernih katamarana i sedam jahti, sa skiperom ili bez. Ove godine se floti pridružilo i deset potpuno novih katamarana i jednotrupaca.

Istion embarked on their newest sailing adventure in April (1317) through the Adriatic, directly from their brand-new yacht charter base in Skradin. The journey included sailing through Zlarin and Kornat, docking at Telašćica Bay, anchoring to enjoy the captivating sunset on the island of Kaprije, and finally ending the Croatian adventure at the seaside wonder of Primošten. With short sailing distances and diverse landscapes, coupled with local culture and traditions, the Skradin Cup offers a unique adventure for sailors, families,

and friends of all skill levels. It's a great opportunity to team up with your friends or family and charter a bareboat yacht to race.

Alternatively, you can charter a crewed yacht and come aboard with your loved ones to enjoy this experience with the added comfort and safety of a professional skipper. The Istion fleet consists of a total of 14 new yachts from 2023: seven modern sailing catamarans and seven sailing yachts, available as either skippered or bareboat. In 2024, ten brand-new catamarans and monohulls have been added to the fleet.

Filip Jurišić izborio Olimpijske igre Filip Jurišić Is Going to the Olympics ILCA Filip Jurišić postao je prvi sportaš s otoka Hvara koji je izborio nastup na Olimpijskim igrama. Hrvatski jedriličar u klasi ILCA 7 vizu za Marseille ostvario je pobjedom u internim kvalifikacijama protiv klupskog kolege iz Mornara – Tončija Stipanovića. 'Ne mogu niti opisati koliko sam sretan. Ovo mi je bio jedan od najtežih zadataka u karijeri, teži od svih regata na kojima sam osvajao medalje', kazao je Filip Jurišić, koji je u karijeri dosad osvojio europsko srebro i svjetsku broncu. Natjecateljska jedrenja u Marseilleu započinju početkom kolovoza, a nadamo se kako će Filip nastaviti Stipanovićev niz koji je na OI-ju u Riju i Tokiju osvajao srebrne medalje.

Filip Jurišić is the first Hvar native to represent his country at the Olympic Games. This Croatian sailor in the class ILCA 7 got his ticket to Marseille after success in the internal qualifications and a victory over his Mornar club colleague, Tonči Stipanović. 'I can't even begin to describe how happy I am. This was one of the most difficult tasks in my career, more difficult than all the other races I won,' said Filip Jurišić. Jurišić already has a European silver and a world bronze. Races in Marseille will begin in early August, and we hope that Filip will be as successful as his older colleague Tonči Stipanović, winner of silver medals at the Olympic Games in Rio and Tokyo.

Velika dobrodošlica za veće jahte A Big Welcome for Large Yachts M A R I N A P U N AT Od 2024. godine Marina Punat ponosno dočekuje veće brodove zahvaljujući novoj dizalici i Premium Plus paketima za godišnji vez plovila do 40 metara dužine.

'Veće je ljepše', pogotovo kada su u pitanju jahte, no velike jahte zahtijevaju dodatni prostor i oprezno rukovanje. Predviđajući trendove i potrebe nautičke zajednice, Marina Punat grupa napravila je veliki iskorak 2023. investicijom u novi bazen i najveću dizalicu na istočnoj strani Jadrana. Suvremena dizalica kapaciteta do 540 tona i širine do 16 metara omogućava dizanje manjih i srednjih superjahti, velikih katamarana i sličnih plovila te njihovo redovno održavanje ili preuređivanje u Brodogradilištu Punat. Kao što su standardna parkirna mjesta postala pretijesna za suvremene automobile, standardni vezovi postali su preuski za moderne brodove. U Marini Punat vezovi se redovito revidiraju i nadograđuju kako bi se brodovi udobno i sigurno smjestili. Svaki je vez opremljen standardnim priključcima za vodu i struju, no vezovi Premium Plus za velike jahte opremljeni su električnim priključcima dodatne snage. Klijenti s Premium Plus paketom usluga, tzv. rezidenti, uživaju u posebnim pogodnostima, poput dodatnih parkirnih kartica, VIP kupaonica, besplatne usluge dopreme prtljage do broda i besplatnog prijevoza do zračne luke Rijeka, što povećava popularnost i ponekad uzrokuje listu čekanja za godišnje vezove u Marini Punat.

As of 2024, Marina Punat welcomes larger boats due to a new travel lift and special berth features for yachts up to 40 m LOA. 'Big is beautiful', especially when it comes to yachts, but large yachts require extra space and particular handling. Anticipating the trends and needs of the yachting community, Marina Punat Group has taken a big leap in investing in a new basin and the biggest travel lift so far, with the capacity to lift yachts up to 540 t and up to 16 m width.

That’s one of a kind on the eastern side of the Adriatic that can lift medium-sized superyachts, large catamarans, and the like, for regular maintenance or refit at Punat Shipyard. Just like the standard parking spots are too tight for modern vehicles, the standard berths have become too tight for modern vessels. At Marina Punat, the berths are regularly redesigned and upgraded to accommodate vessels comfortably and safely. A typical berth is equipped with a standard water and power supply. Still, Premium Plus berths for large yachts are suited with extra power connections. Premium Plus resident clients are also enjoying additional benefits like extra parking cards, VIP bathrooms, free luggage transport to berth, and a free shuttle to the Rijeka airport, increasing the popularity and occasionally causing a waiting list for annual berths at Marina Punat.

Natjecanje se održava pod nazivom Adriatic Offshore Tuna Championship, u organizaciji ribolovnog kluba Giričić iz Kaštel Gomilice. Očekuje se nastup 40-ak ekipa iz Hrvatske, Italije, Slovenije, Crne Gore, Srbije, Engleske, Monaka, Kazahstana, Slovačke, Češke, Egipta… Kuorizitet natjecanja je dolazak najboljih ekipa svjetske ‘big game’ scene, te ekipa prvaka svojih država. Ovim prvenstvom započinje međunarodno sportsko natjecanje koje prvi put donosi odgovor na vječno pitanje o tome tko je najbolji tunolovac na Jadranu, a osim slave, pobjednike očekuju i bogate nagrade.

This summer, from August 6th to 10th, the Adriatic big fish tournament will be held for the first time in the waters around Rogoznica, which in this period are abundant with tuna and ideal for such events in other ways, due to accessibility and logistics. The tournament, Ariatic Offshore Tuna Championship, is organized by the fishing club Giričić from Kaštel Gomilica, with participation from about 40 teams from Italy, Slovenia, Montenegro, Serbia, England, Monaco, Kazakhstan, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Egypt and Croatia. The event is unique in Croatia, as we don’t often get to see world’s best tuna catchers around her, most of them national champions. This tournament marks the beginning of an international sports competition looking to find the answer to the eternal fishing question: who is the best tuna catcher in the Adriatic, and the winner can look forward to exciting prizes and eternal fame.

FERRETTI INFYNITO 90

ITALIAN BUILDER FERRETTI HAVE DESIGNED THEIR FIRST YACHT WITH FOCUS ON ENVIRONMENT: THE NEW 90-FOOT INFYNITO LINE WAS PRESENTED AT CANNES 2023 UNDER THE MOTTO 'FURTHER THAN YOU CAN SEA'. WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE IT OUT FOR A RIDE THIS JUNE IN VENICE

R EV IEW Od prošle godine prodano je pet primjeraka Infynito 90, a u Cannesu nas ove godine očekuje 'mlađi brat' od 80 stopa. Ono što ćete prvo primijetiti jest zatvoren pramac, koji čini sasvim novu cjelinu na jahtama i koji će, po našemu mišljenju, sigurno doživjeti brojne primjene u industriji. Ono što nećete od prve primijetiti njegov je fokus na okoliš, jer je na novu jahtu primijenjen paket ekološki prihvatljivih rješenja za krstarenje. Jedan od najznačajnijih je integrirani sustav koji pohranjuje solarnu energiju prikupljenu fotonaponskim panelima koji generiraju 7,3 kW, ugrađenim na 'krovu' jahte u energetski spremnik sastavljen od 16 litijskih baterija po 120 KWh, koje pružaju osam sati autonomije na sidrištu bez emisija i buke. Zanimljivo je da su baterije smještene u posebnom spremniku koji se u slučaju požara može potopiti vodom, koji je razvijen za potrebe električne Rive Iseo. Također je posebna pažnja posvećena korištenju zelenih materijala, kao što su prirodne i bambusove tkanine, regenerirana koža i reciklirani materijali, ekološki prihvatljive boje na bazi vode i jako lijepi lamelirani tik s FSC 5 certifikatom korišten u cijelom eksterijeru.

Na sajmu u Veneciji bio je izložen trup broj četiri, koji je izgrađen za američko tržište. Prvi model je imao jacuzzi na pramcu, a ovaj na tom mjestu ima bar i četiri barske stolice, te fiksno prednje staklo.

Na prototipu se pramčani kokpit, koji su u Ferrettiju moderno nazvali 'terasa za sve sezone', prirodno spaja s glavnom palubom električnim spuštanjem

n the year since its debut, the new Infynito 90 has been sold in five units, and is now getting ready to welcome a smaller sister, Infynito 80, also ready to debut in Cannes. The first thing we’ve noticed is the model’s closed bow deck, with a bow design that will surely take off in the industry. What we didn’t notice at first, was the designers’ focus on the environment – a full package of environmentally friendly cruising solutions. Among the most significant is the integrated system that stores solar energy collected by photovoltaic panels generating 7.3 kW, installed on the roof of the yacht, in an energy tank composed of 16 lithium batteries of 120 KWh each, which provides eight hours of autonomous operations for all systems, without emissions or noise. Interestingly, the batteries have been placed in a submersible tank that protects them in case of a fire, developed for the electric-powered model Riva Iseo.

Special attention has also been paid to the use of green materials, such as natural fabrics and bamboo, regenerated leather and recycled materials, environmentally friendly water-based paint and exquisite laminated teak with FSC 5 certification throughout the exterior.

Hull number four, which was built for the American market, was on display in Venice. The first model had a jacuzzi on the bow, while number four had a bar and four bar stools, as well as a fixed windshield. On the prototype, the bow

pramčanog stakla, što nam se baš svidjelo. Moguće je još naručiti i izvedbu sa sunčalištem umjesto jacuzzija/bara, a u vrhu pramca se nalazi jako lijepo sunčalište koje natkriva sidrena vitla.

Prava terasa nalazi se na krmi, koja ima staklenu pregradu s lijepe dvije fotelje koje gledaju preko krmenog zrcala i sunčalište. U zatvorenom dijelu krme nalazi se garaža za Williams 415, dok se opcijski jet-ski smješta na krmenu platformu.

U glavnom salonu su dvije fotelje s lijeve strane, a s desne kauč i damski ležaj. U sredini glavne palube je s lijeve strane moderna kuhinja s izlazom na palubu i skrivenim keramičkim kuhalom. Nasuprot nje nalazi se dizajnerski oblikovano stubište obloženo sivom tkaninom i bež kožnim detaljima za odlazak na donju palubu ili 'flybridge', te dnevni toaletni prostor koji smatramo važnom prostorijom kada boravite na brodu. U prednjem dijelu glavne palube je blagovaonica po cijeloj širini koja ima pogled na pramac, sa zasebnim izlaskom na palubu s desne strane, i vrlo praktična 'smočnica' u kojoj su hladnjak za vino, mikrovalna i ostale kuhinjske potrepštine, te je ide-

cockpit which Ferretti describes as an all-season terrace, naturally connects to the main deck by electrically lowering the bow windshield, a lovely and smart detail. The model is also available is with sunbathing area instead of a jacuzzi/bar, and on the very bow there is another nice sunbathing area, that covers the anchor winches. The actual terrace is a stern, with a glass partition overlooking the platform, and furnished with two plush sofas and a large sunpad. In the closed part of the stern, there is a garage for the Williams 415, while the jet-ski (optional) is housed on the aft platform.

In the main deck salon, there are two sofas on the left, and a sofa and a day bed. Mid-ship to the left lies a modern galley with access to the deck and a hidden ceramic cooker, while opposite stands an exquisitely designed staircase lined with gray fabric and beige leather details, leading below deck and to the fly bridge. There is also enough space for a day head, a very important detail for pleasing day cruising. In the bow of the main deck there is a full-width dinette with a view of the bow, with a dedicated exit to the deck starboard, as LJETO SUMMER 2024

Jahta može imati i pet kabina ako je vlasnička kabina smještena u pramčanom dijelu glavne palube. U potpalublju su četiri kabine, u krmenom dijelu je vlasnička kabina u punoj širini korita, s lijeve strane nalazi se toaletni stol, a s desne mali kauč smješten uz staklo, na kojem se lako vidimo s knjigom u ruci. U pramcu je VIP kabina s krevetom okrenutim okomito na uzdužnu liniju i kupaonicom u pramčanom dijelu. Tu su još jedna kabina 'twin' konfiguracije i jedna s krevetima na kat.

Dizajn interijera njeguje zaobljene rubove, te nježne sive i bež tonove, kože i lijepih tkanina, a jahta je dostupna u dva dekor stila: klasičnom i suvremenom. Iako oba dijele isti talijanski stil, klasični stil koristi tople, zemljane elemente, dok suvremeni stil sadrži sjajne drvene i tkanine u svježim nijansama inspiriranim bojama mora.

Ogromni prozori koji se protežu duž cijelog salona glavne palube, a ponavljaju se u sky loungeu, impresivni su u svom dizajnu i omogućuju prodiranje prirodne svjetlosti u unutrašnjost. Na gornjoj palubi je salon kojem se može pristupiti ili kroz zatvoreno stubište ili s krmene palube, a važno je napomenuti

kako je ovo prvi Ferrettijev model koji ima sky lounge, sa zatvorenom kormilarnicom na gornjoj palubi.

Odmah iza nje je veliki televizor s desne strane i kauč s lijeve, te veliki okrugli stol za jelo, dok se na otvorenom dijelu gornje palube nalaze lijepi 'šezloni' i element sa sudoperom, ledomatom i hladnjakom.

Na test smo izišli po vjetru od 10 čvorova i ne sasvim mirnom moru, ali zahvaljujući čak tri žiroskopska stabilizatora, jahta je plovila savršeno mirno. Infynito 90 može biti pogonjen s dva 1550 mhp MAN V12 motora ili dva 1800 mhp MAN V12 motora, što je bio paket koji smo mi imali. Na 1000 okretaja plovili smo brzinom od 10 čvorova, uz potrošnju od 50 litara na sat, što bi bila brzina idealna za prevaljivanje većih udaljenosti, jer je već na 1400 okretaja brzina 13 čvorova, a potrošnja 135 litara. Brzina krstarenja od 18 čvorova postignuta je s 2100 okretaja i potrošnjom od 500 litara na sat, s opterećenjem motora od 75 posto. Maksimalna brzina koju smo postigli veća je od predviđene i iznosi 23 čvora na 2390 okretaja i s potrošnjom od 700 litara. Iako performanse nisu glavna značajka ove jate ona nas ni po tom pitanju nije razočarala, najavljujući nedvojben uspjeh nove linije jahti Ferretti.

well as a very practical pantry with a wine cooler, a microwave and other kitchen utensils, ideal storage room for the daily needs of the crew.

The model is available with five cabins, with the master located in the bow part of the main deck and four guest cabins below deck. The master is aft, full-width, furnished with a vanity, a small couch right next to a window, ideal for quiet reading. The VIP is in the bow, with a bed perpendicular to the longitudinal line of the hull, and a private head in the very bow. The third cabin is a twin, with and the fourth has Pullman beds.

The interior is soft and rounded, in gentle gray and beige tones, soft leather and plush fabrics, and the model is available in two versions, Classic and Contemporary. Although they are both unmistakably Italian in style, Classic is warm and earthy, while Contemporary dazzles with fabrics in refreshing shades taken from the sea itself. The huge glazing that runs the length of the main deck lounge, as well as the Sky lounge, is impressive in design and allows natural light inside. On the upper deck, the salon is accessible via the interior staircase, or from the aft deck. This is the first Ferretti with a sky lounge and an

enclosed wheelhouse on the upper deck. Right behind the wheelhouse, there are a large TV and sofa on the left, as well as a large round dining table, while the open part of the upper deck charms with several lovely chaise lounges, and a bar with a sink, an ice maker and a refrigerator.

We tested the new Ferretti with a wind of 10 knots and not perfectly calm seas, but thanks to her three gyroscopic stabilizers, the yacht remained perfectly stable. Ferretti Infynito 90 can be powered by two 1550hp MAN V12 engines or two 1800hp MAN V12 engines, ours being the latter. At 1000 rpm, we reached 10 knots of speed, with a consumption of 50 liters per hour, ideal speed for longer cruises. At 1400 rpm, the speed rose to 13 knots, and the consumption to 135 liters. We achieved the declared cruising speed of 18 knots at 2100 rpm, with a consumption of 500 liters per hour, and 75 percent engine load. The maximum speed we achieved was higher than predicted – 23 knots at 2390 rpm, with a consumption of 700 liters. Although performance will not be the main draw, we were also impressed to see how she handles the seas, and we have no doubt in the future success of Ferretti’s new line.

Ovogodišnji sajam Salone Nautico Venezia, koji se održao krajem svibnja, bio je posebno zanimljiv poglavito zbog nekoliko svjetskih premijera, od kojih je najiščekivanija bila premijera najnovijeg Azimutova modela Seadeck 6, koji je ujedno i prva jahta potpuno nove linije Seadeck. Novi Azimut Seadeck 6 donosi i potpuno novi trup, koji do sada nije bio korišten ni na jednom drugom modelu, a odmah je prepoznatljiv po potpuno ravnom pramcu s uskim vrhom, koji čini najviši dio trupa i od pramca se lagano spušta prema krmi broda sve do krmene platforme, dajući vrlo skladan, pomalo elipsasti profil trupa, po čijoj se sredini proteže crna linija koja je ujedno i otvor u razmi broda za bolju vidljivost iz salona.

Na vrhu trupa smjestilo se nadgra-

đe sportski dizajnirano da bude što aerodinamičnije, s prostranim bočnim prozorima, upotpunjeno zlatnim krovom koji se nastavlja i preko dijela krmenog prostora.

Oštar ravan pramac i široka krma trupa vidljivo naznačuju da je glavni cilj dizajna bio povećana učinkovitost, kojom bi se, prema tvrdnjama Azimuta, trebale smanjiti godišnje emisije ovoga broda za 40 posto u odnosu na slične jahte. Osim smanjenih emisija, Azimut je na ovome modelu prvi put primijenio i uporabu održivih, odnosno recikliranih materijala te je tako 30 posto strukture trupa izrađeno od recikliranih plastičnih boca, a još jedan element prema održivosti je 'tikovina' na palubi koja je u stvari od pluta koje je puno održivije. Čitava paluba pre-

The annual Salone Nautico Venezia in May sparkled with several international debuts, and among them, the one everyone talked about was the latest Azimut Seadeck 6, the first in the brand new Seadeck line. The latest Azimut boasts a brand new hull, with a flat and tall bow, and a clear profile line descending all the way to the aft platform. This gives the profile a sophisticated and somewhat elliptical look, interrupted by a glazed black line which allows light into the interior. The superstructure is sporty, with aerodynamic lines and large side windows, protected by a golden roof that stretches half way above the aft cockpit.

The sharp bow and the wide hull make it clear the designers

krivena je tim plutom, uključujući i krmenu platformu koja se klizno spušta u more te se iza nje nalaze široke stube za izlazak u more.

Jednu stubu poviše, i nalazimo se na glavnoj palubi koja je na istoj razini po čitavome brodu, a započinje s prostranom krmenom sofom s pomičnim naslonom, uz koju se nalazi i rasklopivi vanjski stol i još jedna malena klupa. Ovaj prostor za objedovanje natkriven je krovom nadgrađa te ako ovome dodamo i rasklopive bočne stranice, dobivamo veliki jedinstveni prostor na kojem lagodno mogu boraviti svi gosti broda dok koriste krmu kao svoju privatnu plažu. Pristojni široki bočni prolazi s visokom bočnom ogradom vode na pramac, na kojemu je još jedno prostrano sunčalište.

Salon počinje s malenom kuhinjom koja je sakrivena u elementima i u kuhinjskoj plohi, koja unutar svoje bijele površine skriva indukcijsko kuhalo, sudoper te veliki hladnjak, koji je prekriven svijetlim rebrastim drvom.

Nakon kuhinje tu je velika sofa u obliku slova L, uz koju se nalazi rasklopivi stol za objedovanje koji se može spustiti te tako postati stolić za kavu, a čitav prostor je uređen u svijetlim

had one goal in mind: fuel efficiency, which, according to the builder, is 40 percent higher than on any competing model. In addition to lowering emissions, Azimut have used this model to showcase the results of their recycled materials research – 30 percent of the hull structure was built from recycled plastic bottles, and the teak deck is actually not teak, but eco-teak made from cork, bow to aft. The aft platform is submersible, and has an integrated staircase allowing easy access to the sea.

The main deck is a step above the platform, and stretching on the same level aft to bow. The cockpit holds a comfortable sofa with a moving headrest, a folding dining table and a small bench. This outdoor dining room is protected by the superstructure roof, just like the adjacent folding side terraces, and is a large, comfortable, multi-purpose place ideal for seaside activities. The side passages leading toward the bow are decent in width and well protected, and end at the second sunpad on the bow. Inside, the main deck opens with a small

tonovima – svijetli parket, bijele presvlake sofe i bijeli strop – kako bi se pojačao osjećaj prostranosti te osvijetljenost kroz ionako velike bočne prozore i krovno staklo čija fiksna sjenila bacaju rebrastu sjenu nad stolom za objedovanje.

Upravljačko mjesto pruža odličnu preglednost u svim smjerovima, pogotovo prema naprijed zahvaljujući neprekinutom vjetrobranskom staklu, a i samo je vrlo pregledno s dva multifunkcijska Garminova displeja na povišenom dijelu ploče te prekidačima, joystickom IPS-a, autopilota, pramčanog propelera te dvojnim ručicama gasa, koje, u ovome slučaju, upravljaju s tri motora Volvo IPS 650 od po 480 konjskih snaga svaki, što predstavlja jaču opciju uz Volvo IPS 500 motore od 380 KS. Volvo IPS zakretni pogon u kombinaciji s jakim pramčanim propelerom čini manevriranje u luci jednostavnim, a za pristajanje tu je i vanjski joystick smješten u pomičnom pretincu na desnoj krmenoj strani nadgrađa.

U plovidbi Seadeck 6 vrlo je stabilan i ugodan s ugašenim stabilizatorima i bez uporabe flapsova čak i pri brzini od 30 čvorova, koja je ujedno i maksimalna brzina koju smo postigli na testu, uz potrošnju od 279 litara na sat i čak desetoro ljudi na brodu. Optimalna brzina krstarenja kreće se između 18 i 24 čvora, koja bi trebala pružiti maksimalni domet od oko 290 milja. Za one koji žele polagano krstariti pri devet čvorova potrošnja je samo 28 litara na sat.

Jahta je jako poletna i vrlo brzo re-

agira na komande te će biti užitak za voziti vlasnicima koji se odluče koristiti je sami, a za one koji se ne usude, Seadeck 6 u standardnoj izvedbi dolazi s odvojenom skiperskom kabinom.

Osim u plovidbi, ova jahta nudi i ugodan smještaj u svojim kabinama u koje se spuštamo s pomoću polukružnog stubišta koje nas vodi u glavni hodnik, koji prema pramcu vodi u VIP kabinu s bračnim krevetom postavljenim uzglavljem uz pramac, gostinsku kabinu s dva odvojena kreveta smještenu na desnoj strani trupa te prostranu vlasničku kabinu smještenu na sredini trupa. Vlasnička kabina nudi ugodan i prostran smještaj kakav bismo očekivali na jahtama duljima od 25 metara, a uz golemi bračni krevet na desnoj strani tu je i veliki ormar za odjeću te sofa za odmor na lijevoj strani. Sve kabine uređene su u svijetlim tonovima, što ih čini jako ugodnim za boravak.

Ciljajući na što veću održivost, Seadeck 6 dolazi opremljen s baterijama od 42 kWh, koje bi trebale biti dovoljne da do osam sati napajaju klima-uređaj i stabilizatore kako bi gosti mogli spavati u punoj tišini po noći. Ovaj paket baterija priprema je za potpuni hibridni pogon koji će u ovu seriju stići s idućim modelom Sundeck 7, koji će biti predstavljen već ove jeseni, čime će Azimut osnažiti ovu liniju koja lijepo spaja održivost s predivnim dizajnom usmjerenim na što ugodniji boravak na moru s obitelji.

galley, white and unassuming, with an induction stove, a sink and a large fridge, behind a light wood panel. Right next to the kitchen, there is a large L-shaped sofa, served by a coffee table that unfolds into a dining table. The interior is light, with light wooden flooring, white fabrics and a white ceiling, which work hand in hand with the glazing to create a bright and cozy atmosphere, but with a striped skylight protecting it from harsh light.

The bridge enjoys excellent visibility in all directions and the windshield is large, wide and single-panel. The command console holds two multi-functional Garmin displays, the IPS joystick, the autopilot, the bow propeller commands and the double throttle levers. The new Azimut is powered by 3 x Volvo IPS 650 (3 x 480 hp), and also available with 380h p Volvo IPS 500. There is also one other joystick, in a dedicated space on the stern part of the superstructure.

Azimut Seadeck 6 proved to be super-stable in navigation even without the use of stabilizers or flaps, and even at maximum speed of 30 knots (279 l/h) with 10 passengers. Optimal cruising speed lies anywhere between 18 and 24 knots, allowing 290-mile range, while the most comfortable speed for easy-going owners is nine knots, with fuel consumption of only 28 l/h. We’ve found

the model swift and prompt to react, which both make it pure joy to pilot and ideal for owners who like to pilot themselves, but all the others will be happy to hear the model is also available with a skipper’s cabin. When it comes to cabins, they are all equally comfortable, with the VIP in the bow (a double), a twin guest cabin starboard, and the spacious master. The master is large enough to be on a much larger yacht, with a king-size bed, a large wardrobe and a private salon port-side. All cabins are light and airy, and perfectly suitable for longer cruising.

Azimut Seadeck 6 is big on sustainability, with her 42 kWh batteries supplying up to eight hours of power for the AC and the stabilizers, for quiet and cool nights.

This battery package is sort of a semi-step toward the full hybrid model Seadeck 7, to be launched later this fall. With their new Seadeck line, Azimut are demonstrating that their dedication to style and comfort can go hand in hand with sustainability.

Na obali pitoresknog otoka Donsö u Švedskoj početkom lipnja imali smo priliku testirati Nimbus 495 Flybridge, najveći model koji je ovaj švedski proizvođač, poznat po kvaliteti i odličnim maritimnim sposobnostima svojih modela, ikada izradio. Ukupne dužine 15 metara, Nimbus 495 Flybridge svim svojim dizajnerskim elementima jasno pokazuje iz kojeg brodogradilišta dolazi, od visokog trupa s prepoznatljivim dugim prozorima na pramcu do zaobljenih prozora na krmenom dijelu nadgrađa. Ovaj model posuđuje mnoštvo elemenata iz drugih Nimbusovih modela zadržavajući njihovu praktičnost.

Na jahtu smo ušli preko prostrane krmene platforme koja se, kako je to standard u klasi, hidraulički spušta u more i na njoj su ugrađene stube koje je povezuju s glavnom palubom. Na krmi se nalazi i prostrano spremište te električni grill, prateći poznatu praktičnost Nimbusa. I tako dolazimo do krmenog dijela, koji je dizajniran s puno pozornosti i rađen da bude uporabljiv

The picturesque island of Donsö in Sweden welcomed us earlier this June, during our sea trial of the new Nimbus 495 Flybridge, the largest model of her Swedish builder beloved for their dedication to quality and performance. With only 15 meters in length, Nimbus 495 Flybridge is a showcase of her builder’s skills – from her tall hull with distinctive long bow windows to the rounded aft windows on the superstructure, this model borrows many elements from previous Nimbus models, and all of their practical spirit.

We stepped aboard via the spacious aft platform, which, as is standard in the class, uses hydraulics to submerge, and has built-in stairs that connect it to the main deck. Aft, there is enough space for storage, and an electric grill.

The aft cockpit was painstakingly designed to be useful year-round, including gloomy winter months.

With that in mind, a glass wall with built-in blinds descends from the roof of the superstructure and together with side tents encloses the cockpit. From there, a staircase

i zimi, kada vrijeme nije dobro.

Zbog toga se iz krova nadgrađa može spustiti staklena stijenka s ugrađenim sjenilima, koja s bočnim tendama čini jedan zatvoreni prostor. Odavde stube vode na flybridge koji se može pohvaliti potpuno opremljenim upravljačkim mjestom te prostranom ležaljkom za sunčanje na svom prednjem dijelu, kao i prostranom sofom s velikim plastičnim stolom za objedovanje na stražnjem dijelu flybridgea, koji je pristojne veličine za ovakav tip broda. Za one koji vole sunčanje, na pramcu se nalazi još jedna prostrana ležaljka i na samom vrhu pramca mjesto za pomični stol.

Vraćajući se natrag na krmeni prostor, pored krmenih ulaznih vrata koja vode u nadgrađe je

staklena stijenka koja, podignuta, otvara šank iz kuhinje prema krmenom dijelu. Sama kuhinja zauzima cijeli stražnji dio nadgrađa, te ima čak tri radne plohe i opremljena je indukcijskim kuhalom, pećnicom sudoperom, s čak tri hladnjaka te mašinom za suđe. Prema pramcu, povišen za jednu stubu na lijevoj strani, nalazi se stol za objedovanje s četiri rasklopive površine, čime se njegova površina može udvostručiti, a okružuje ga velika polukružna sofa, dok je nasuprot jedna malena sofa, s pomičnim dijelom koji može služiti kao dodatno sjedište uz stol. Iza iste sofe je mjesto za televizor koji se podiže iz bočnog spremišta. Još naprijed prema pramcu, na lijevoj strani, još je jedna sofa, ova u obliku slova L,

All dimensions are in step with expectations from a yacht this size. Sun lovers will be happy to hear there is another spacious sun lounger on the bow, and enough space for a folding table on the very bow.

Back aft, right next to the door leading to the main deck interior, there is a glass wall separating the interior galley from the cockpit. The galley is located aft, and boasts three counter tops, has an induction cooker, an oven, a sink, three refrigerators and a dishwasher.

Ugodnim stubištem koje vodi u unutrašnjost trupa spuštamo se u hodnik koji povezuje tri kabine ovoga broda: VIP kabinu u pramcu, s uzdignutim bračnim krevetom te prostranim bočnim prozorima s pogledom prema pramcu, kabinu za goste s krevetima na kat, umjesto koje naručitelji mogu izabrati kabinu s radnim stolom, te vlasničku kabinu. Smještena na sredini trupa vlasnička kabina zauzima čitavu širinu trupa, te se u njezinoj sredini smjestio prostrani bračni krevet, a na desnoj strani uz bočni prozor još jedan dodatni ležaj, koji može poslužiti kao dnevna sofa, dok se na lijevoj strani nalazi prostrani stolić za šminkanje. Odmah pri ulazu u kabinu je kupaonica s odvojenom tuškabinom, dok VIP i gostinska kabina dijele jednu kupaonicu. Čitava unutrašnjost, u nadgrađu ili trupu, dijeli jednako uređenje s uporabom tamnog parketa, svijetlog drva na pregradama i namještaju, zelenkastim presvlakama sofa te pojedinim elementima na pregradama u tamnosivoj boji. U skladu s klasom ovog modela, Nimbus će klijentima ponuditi i dozu customizacije unutrašnjosti u suradnji s dizajnerima. Osim predivnog dizajna na vanjštini i u unutrašnjosti, plovidba Nimbusom 495 Flybridge pravi je užitak, čak i ako ćete njime upravljati potpuno sami. Tako unutrašnje upravljačko mjesto ima odličnu preglednost u svim smjerovima, a sve informacije o navigaciji i stanju motora dostupne su preko dva velika Garminova touchscreen multifunkcijska displeja. Garmin je u suradnji s Volvo Pentom unaprijedio poznati docking sistem preko joysticka, dodavši mogućnost upravljanja čitavom plovidbom pomoću njega. Tako pomicanje prema naprijed vrlo precizno povećava broj okretaja, a pomaci lijevo i desno vrlo precizno i brzo mijenjaju kurs.

Tijekom čitavog testa uopće nismo koristili klasično kormilo, što je pomalo šteta jer je upravljač predivno dizajniran po uzoru na sportske automobile. Sam docking sistem odlično zadržava poziciju broda čim se pusti joystick omogućujući vam da iziđete na palubu i privežete brod sami. U plovidbi vrlo stabilan, kao i drugi modeli ovog proizvođača i jako ugodan u okretima, Nimbus 495 postigao je maksimalnu brzinu od 28,6 čvorova pri 3830 okretaja, uz potrošnju od 195 litara na sat, a optimalne brzine krstarenja kriju se između 3000 i 3500 okretaja pri brzinama od 18,7 do 24,3 čvora, kada će potrošnja biti 115, odnosno 157 litara na sat. Praktičan, ugodan i nadasve možda i prelagan za upravljanje, Nimbus 495 Flybridge predstavlja najbolju švedsku kvalitetu u jednoj jahti.

that allow it to double in size, served by large semi-circular sofa. Opposite, there is a small sofa, with a moving part that can serve as an additional dining seat. Behind that sofa there is the dedicated TV spot, and the TV is hidden when not in use. Even farther towards the bow, there is another sofa, L-shaped, for those who love to join skipper in navigation, and next to it a small navigator’s corner with a table and a plotter, for guests to track the location of the vessel in real time.

A safe and comfortable staircase leads below deck, into the corridor connecting the three cabins - the VIP cabin in the bow, with a raised double bed and large side windows with a view towards the bow; the guest cabin with bunk beds, also available as a office cabin; and the master cabin. Placed in the very center of the hull, the master is full-width, with a large double bed in the middle, and one additional berth starboard, which doubles as a sofa. Port-side, there is a large vanity, and next to the cabin door, the en-suite with separate shower. The VIP and guest cabins share one bathroom.

The entire interior is decorated in the same style and color palette, with dark wooden floors, partitions and furniture in light wood, green sofas and dark gray details on the walls. Nimbus will also offer some level of customization, to reflect personal style of every owner.

In addition to being beautiful inside and out, Nimbus 495 Flybridge is a real pleasure to use, even if you’re all alone, with no help. The interior command post enjoys excellent visibility in all directions, and all navigation and engine data are displayed on large Garmin touchscreen multifunction displays. In addition to joystick being used for docking assistance, Nimbus made the yavht entirely manageable via the same joystick. Light forward movement of the joystick gently increases rpm, while side to side movement allows precise and quick course changes.

We didn't use the steering wheel at all, and relied on joystick alone, which is practical – but what a shame, since the steering wheel is beautifully designed, inspired by sports cars. The docking system itself perfectly holds the position of the vessel as soon as the joystick is released, allowing you to go out on deck and moor the boat yourself.

Very stable in navigation, like all other models of this builder, and super stable in turns, Nimbus 495 achieved a maximum speed of 28.6 knots at 3830 rpm, with a consumption of 195 l/h, and optimal cruising speed anywhere between 3000 and 3500 rpm (18.7 to 24.3 knots), with a consumption between 115 and 157 l/h. Easy to pilot, comfortable and almost too easy to handle, Nimbus 495 Flybridge is a true showcase of her Swedish builder’s expertise on 15 meters.

Na nautičkom sajmu u Cannesu 2023. predstavljena je nova 'kraljica' od 44 stopa – FIM 440 Regina, koja je u mnogočemu nadmašila očekivanja. Novodizajnirani krov, zgodna rješenja poput prostora za druženje na pramcu, dodatni prostor za sunčanje u kokpitu i pažljivo dizajniran unutarnji životni prostor, dopunili su rješenja koja smo već vidjeli na FIM-ovu većem modelu 470. Vanjski dizajn podsjeća na poznata imena u nautičkoj industriji, a nepravilni oblici staklenih površina donekle ublažavaju snažan i visok trup. Krov je postavljen na elegantne stupove na trupu plovila, a dizajn je inspiriran svijetom automobila. Naravno, ne nedostaju ni detalji s brojnim profilima od nehrđajućeg čelika.

S duljinom od 13,6 metara i širinom od četiri metra, 440 Regina stavlja životni prostor na otvorenom u prvi plan dizajna i koncepta. Vanjske površine su prostrane, počevši od krmene platforme s dodatnim terasama u zoni kokpita. Na krmi se nalazi veliki ležaj u mediteranskom stilu s praktičnim skladištem ispod njega. S krmene platforme u kokpit može se proći s lijeve i desne strane bočnim prolazima, što znatno olakšava kretanje prilikom pristajanja na vez. Do pramca vode tri stube, gdje se nalazi još jedna velika površina za sunčanje i nosač za okrugli stolić koji se može ukloniti. Ovaj se prostor može zaštititi od sunca s četiri stupa i tendom. U kokpitu ima mjesta za dvije klupe s velikim

At the Cannes Boat Show 2023, FIM debuted their new pride and joy, the 44-foot FIM 440 Regina, which in many ways exceeded expectations. A newly designed roof, interesting solutions such for social spaces in the bow, additional sunbathing space in the cockpit and a carefully designed interior living space complemented the solutions already seen on FIM's larger model 470. The exterior design takes cues from some well-known nautical names, while the irregular shapes of glazed surfaces soften the mighty and tall lines of hull to an extent. The roof is placed on elegant pillars on the hull of the vessel, and the design is automotive in inspiration, meaning, of course, an abundance of details in stainless steel.

With her 13,6 meters of length and four meters of width, the 440 Regina puts outdoor living space at the forefront of design and concept. The exteriors are spacious, starting from the aft platform with folding terraces in the cockpit area. Aft, there is a large sofa fit for any Mediterranean terrace, with plenty of storage space underneath. The cockpit can be accessed from the aft platform on both sides, via side passages, which greatly facilitates movement when docking. The bow is three stairs up, and designed as another large sunbathing area, with a round serving table which can be removed when not in use. This area is well protected from the sun by a soft top supported by four

Iza kormilarske klupe je kuhinja s perilicom posuđa, roštiljem ili štednjakom te hladnjakom i dva ormarića.

U našoj testnoj verziji vrata hladnjaka i ormarića bila su presvučena tikovinom, što daje dojam elegancije i sofisticiranosti. Ploča s instrumentima je dovoljno velika, a ima i prostora za dodatnu opremu. Svi su prekidači smješteni nadohvat ruke s lijeve strane. S desne strane je ručica gasa i joystick za Volvo Penta pogone. Vjetrobransko staklo izrađeno je iz jednog komada, a bočni stupići dovoljno su udaljeni da ne ometaju preglednost tijekom plovidbe. Tvrdi krov je inače vrlo detaljno dizajniran i pričvršćen za vanjsku oplatu plovila, tako da ne ometa kretanje u kokpitu.

FIM 440 Regina je jahta namijenjena parovima ili obitelji, a jednako je dobra za dnevne izlete i dulja krstarenja, pod uvjetom da nema previše ljudi.

Inovativan unutarnji raspored prostorija te korištenje vrhunskih materijala uz pažljivu završnu obradu čine interijer vrlo atraktivnim. Zaobljeni zidovi od furnira, završni rubovi od masivnog drva i uporaba modernih umjetnih materijala i boja stvaraju ugodan i

posts. In the cockpit there is room for two benches and one large. Both benches are foldable and can transform into a bed.

Behind the skipper’s seat, there is the galley, with a dishwasher, grill or stove, refrigerator and two cupboards. On the unit we tested, the refrigerator and the cabinet doors were covered with teak, which gave an elegant, sophisticated impression. The instrument panel is large enough, with plenty of space for additional equipment. All switches are within reach, all on the left side, while on the right side, there are the throttle lever and the Volvo Penta drive joystick.

The windshield is single-pane, and the supporting side pillars far enough apart that they do not interfere with visibility during navigation. The hard top is thoughtfully designed, installed into the outer shell of the hull as to not interfere with movement in the cockpit.

The new FIM 440 Regina was designed for couples or families, and is equally interesting for day trips and longer cruises, carrying a limited number of guests.

The innovative interior layout, the use of top quality materials and sophisticated finishing touches make the interior very attractive. The softly rounded lacquered walls, the solid wood finishing edges and

ekskluzivan ambijent, sličan onom na luksuznim motornim plovilima.

Standardna unutarnja konfiguracija uključuje dva dnevna prostora, jednu vlasničku kabinu u središnjem dijelu plovila, te prostor u pramcu s blagovaončkim stolom i sofom u obliku slova V, koja se može pretvoriti u ležaj. Prirodna svjetlost dolazi kroz prozore u trupu i na stropu, gdje je osigurana ventilacija. Središnji prostor opremljen je kuhinjskim pultom sa staklokeramičkom pločom za kuhanje i sudoperom, te ormarićima ispod pulta i visećim ormarićima iznad prozora. Nasuprot kuhinjske niše nalazi se ormar u kojem je veliki samostojeći hladnjak sa zamrzivačem i mikrovalnom pećnicom.

Vlasnička kabina smještena je u najširem dijelu i proteže se cijelom širinom plovila. Ležaj je postavljen poprečno na središnju os plovila, tako da je uzglavlje uz lijevi trup. Četiri metra široka kabina ima dovoljno prostora i za sofu za opuštanje. Uz vrhunski namještaj i materijale kao što su rebrasti zidovi od umjetne mase i prirodne kože, korištene su i visokokvalitetne tkanine. Izbor dodataka i materijala odlično prati filozofiju 'Made in Italy', u suradnji s vrhunskim talijanskim brendovima i s posebnim nagla-

skom na ekologiju. Unutarnji prostori mogu se do određene mjere prilagoditi životnom stilu vlasnika i njegovoj filozofiji provođenja vremena na moru.

Kako bi testirali novu 440 Reginu, zaputili smo se na Lago di Garda, u grad Sirmione. Vrijeme je bilo idealno, s temperaturom zraka oko 26 stupnjeva i bez daška vjetra. Pred nama je bilo mirno jezero, pa smo nakon zagrijavanja motora i nekoliko dugih zavoja stisnuli gas do kraja. Okretaji dva motora Volvo Penta D6, svaki s po 440 konjskih snaga, pogurali su Reginu do brzine od 38 čvorova. Pritom je potrošnja bila 180 l/h, što bi s punim spremnikom goriva značilo oko 220 nautičkih milja uz obveznih deset posto rezerve.

Pri 3000 okretaja u minuti, brzina je bila 24,5 čvorova, a potrošnja 115 l/h, što bi mogla biti ugodna brzina krstarenja. Ovaj put nismo mogli testirati trup na valovima, ali smo isprobali oštre zavoje i naginjanja, koja su bila slična sportskim plovilima s malo većim izlaznim kutom na krmi od uobičajenog. Brodogradilište nudi dugačak popis dodatne opreme i izbor materijala, kao i osnovnu verziju s parom motora Volvo Penta D6 od po 380 konjskih snaga ili dva motora Yanmar Diesel od po 370 konjskih snaga.

the use of modern materials and colors create a pleasant and exclusive atmosphere inspired by luxury motor yachts. The standard configuration includes two living areas, one master cabin in the center of the hull, and an area in the bow with a dining table and a V-shaped sofa, which can be converted into an additional berth. Natural light seeps through hull windows and the skylight, as does fresh marine air.

The central space holds a kitchen counter with a glass-ceramic hob and sink, as well as cabinets under the counter, and hanging cabinets above the window. Opposite the galley, there is a large storage space with a free-standing refrigerator with freezer, and a microwave oven.

The full-width master cabin is located in the widest part of the hull, with the bed placed transversely to the central axis of the vessel, placing the headboard port-side. The four-meter-wide cabin has enough space for a corner with a relaxing sofa, and is furnished in high-quality furniture and fabrics – we especially liked the ribbed walls made in an artificial material and natural leather.

The choice of accessories and materials follows perfectly the builder’s 'Made in Italy' philosophy, as the yacht was designed in cooper-

ation with top Italian brands, and with a special emphasis on sustainability.

The interiors can be customized to a certain extent to the owner’s lifestyle and cruising philosophy.

We tested the new FIM 440 Regina on Lake Garda, outside the town of Sirmione. The weather was ideal, with an air temperature of around 26 degrees and no wind. The lake was calm, and after warming up the engines and a few rounds around the lake, we went full throttle. The two mighty Volvo Penta D6 engines (2 x 440 hp) propelled 440 Regina to a speed of 38 knots, with the consumption of 180 l/h. At that speed, the autonomy is around 220 nm (not counting the ten percent fuel reserve). At 3000 rpm, the speed was 24,5 knots and the consumption fell down to 115 l/h, quite a comfortable cruising speed. We did not get the opportunity to see how 440 Regina handles waves, but we did execute some sharp turns and pitches, and found her handling similar to that of sports vessels, with a slightly larger stern exit angle than usual.

The builder offers a long list of accessories and a choice of materials, as well as a basic version powered by a pair of Volvo Penta D6 (2 x 380 hp), or two Yanmar Diesel engines (2 x 370 hp).

TECH NOH U LL

Gumenjaci grčkog brodogradilišta cijenjeni su u nautičkom svijetu zbog odličnih maritimnih sposobnosti, vrhunske izrade i sportskog dizajna

Technohull RIBs are among the best on the market, equally appealing for their performance, top quality build and sporty design Kada nam se u ožujku ove godine pružila prilika da posjetimo novo brodogradilište poznatog grčkog proizvođača velikih gumenjaka Technohull, u mjestu Lavriju nedaleko od Atene, čiji je regionalni zastupnik tvrtka MennYacht, koja nam je pomogla da ostvarimo ovaj posjet, objeručke smo je prihvatili. Nismo nikako željeli propustiti vidjeti iz prve ruke kako nastaju ovi vrhunski gumenjaci. Svaki poznavatelj umjetnosti kazat će vam da dobro umjetničko djelo nastaje iz strasti i ljubavi, a isto vrijedi i za dizajn brodova jer su najbolji projekti i brodogradilišta uvijek počinjali od skupine zaljubljenika koji su kroz svoje inovativne ideje željeli kreirati nešto jedinstveno.

Tako je započela i priča brodogradilišta Technohull koje je, sada davne 2005. godine, osnovala skupina entuzijasta. Te godine je nastao legendarni model SEA DNA 999. Nekoliko godina kasnije ova strast savršeno se poklopila s kontinuiranim investicijama u tehnologiju i R&D i Technohull je poduzeo prve korake da postane potpuno profesionalno brodogradilište. Tvrtka je 2014. uložila u visoko stručne profesionalce i počela suradnju s međunarodnim istraživačkim centrima, što je postupno dovelo do razvoja patentirane Dynastream tehnologije dizajna trupa, koja omogućuje prilagođen dizajn trupa za svaki novi model, što je pokazatelj kompetencije koju ima jako mali broj proizvođača u svijetu.

Earlier this year, in March, we were given the opportunity to visit the new manufacturing plant in the town of Lavro, not far from Athens of the well-known Greek RIB manufacturer Technohull, for which MennYacht company is the official regional dealer and which helped us organize this visit. We accepted readily, eager to see first-hand how they build their highest quality models. Any art connoisseur will tell you that great works of art are born out of passion and love, and the same can be said for boats – the best projects and the best builders inevitably start out as someone’s passion project, are brought to life by a passionate few who wish to create something unique, to see their innovative ideas come alive.

This is also the story of Technohull, founded back in 2005 by a group of enthusiasts. This is when the legendary Sea DNA 999 model is born. A few years later this passion was perfectly matched with a consistent investment in technology and R&D and Technohull takes the first steps in becoming a full-scale professional shipyard. In 2014, the company invests in high expertise professionals, starts cooperating with international research centers and eventually launches its Dynastream patented hull design technology which enables the company to design a custom hull for each of its models, which is a competence showcase by very few manufacturers worldwide.

ALPHA 50

Postojana strategija omogućila je Technohullu rast iz godine u godinu, kako u pogledu zarade, tako i broja prodanih plovila

Having a consistent strategy, the company showcases a significant year to year increase, both in terms of turnover and number of boats sold

Technohull je prvo osvojio tržište Grčke, koja je, zbog svoje specifične razvedene obale s brojnim otocima i vrlo nemirnog mora, definirala dizajn Technohullovih gumenjaka, s odličnim maritimnim sposobnostima i velikim brzinama koje omogućuju vlasnicima da brzo putuju između svojih omiljenih uvala, a uspjeh se polako počeo širiti i na ostatak svijeta.

Pogotovo na tržište Turske, Bliskog istoka te preko partnerstva i u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama, kao i u vrlo kompetitivnom svijetu megatendera s modelima Omega 41, Omega 45 i Omega 47, koji su bili flagshipovi, sve do najnovijeg modela Alpha 50, koji je predstavljen prošle godine, a ima 14,95 metara dužine i čak pet izvanbrodskih motora.

Ovaj veliki uspjeh dodatno je pojačan novim najsuvremenijim brodogradilištem u Lavriju, koje je 2021. postalo sjedište brenda.

Postrojenje, koje je jedno od najvećih međunarodnih ulaganja ikada u tom sektoru te jedno od tehnološki najmodernijih naprednih brodogradilišta na globalnoj razini, s najnaprednijom infrastrukturom u svim aspektima proizvodnje, zauzima površinu od oko 70 hektara i ukupno više od 25.000 četvornih metara natkrivenih prostora. Brodogradilište se prostire na ukupno četiri zgrade i ima potpuno integriranu proizvodnju, savršeno organiziranu u svakom koraku proizvodnog procesa.

U prvoj zgradi prepoznatljivoj po velikom logu brodogradilišta, u dijelu s velikim zatamnjenim prozorima, nalazi se uprava i dizajnerski odjel te pogon za završno skla-

panje, koji je bio pun svih modela, uključujući i nekoliko najvećih Alpha 50 u različitim fazama zgotovljenosti. U preostale tri zgrade nalaze se laminacijska i infuzijska hala te hala za izradu drvenih dijelova unutrašnjosti kao i tikovine te velika CNC glodalica za razvoj svih prototipnih dijelova i posebnih dijelova po custom zahtjevima. Trenutno Technohull godišnje proizvede oko 150 brodova svih veličina, uz rastući trend koji će možda zahtijevati povećanje trenutnih kapaciteta, no Technohull nam je potvrdio kako će zadržati sve kapacitete in-house kako bi se održala kvaliteta izrade na koju se pazi u svakom koraku proizvodnje. Kvaliteta je to u koju smo se još jednom uvjerili i u luksuznom salonu u obližnjoj Olympic marini u kojem kupci mogu proučiti sve custom opcije uz savjetovanje s dizajnerima, a u istoj marini su dostupni modeli koji se mogu i probati, što smo s radošću i napravili i opet smo se oduševili. Od jednostavnosti rukovanja svim funkcijama smještenim na upravljačkoj tabli do superpreciznih kontrola kormila te osjetljivih ručica gasa na koje motori odgovaraju gotovo odmah, dajući osjećaj ubrzanja koji se rijetko može osjetiti na bilo kojem drugom plovilu, sve do vrhunskog držanja mora čak i pri maksimalnoj brzini od 74 čvora.

Posvećenost kvaliteti unutar cijelog procesa, od dizajna do završne obrade, moguća je samo ako vas vodi strast prema materiji, što je i bio razlog osnivanja ovog brodogradilišta, strast koja se, kako smo se i sami uvjerili, nije izgubila ni nakon skoro dvadeset godina.

Technohull first conquered the Greek market, which due to the country’s indented coast with numerous islands and very rough seas, defined the design of Technohull models, that now boast excellent seaworthiness and are capable of great speed, allowing owners to travel quickly between their favorite coves. After Greece, Technohull set sails to conquer the world. The brand became especially popular in Turkey, the Middle East and in the United States, and achieved great success in the super-competitive corner of the market, the mega-tender segment, with models Omega 41, Omega 45 and 47, which was the flagship until the launch of Technohull Alpha 50 last year. This beast is 14,95 m long and powered by five outboard engines.

This great success was further enhanced by a new state of the art shipyard in Lavrio, which became the brand's headquarters in 2021. The facility, which is one of the largest investments ever made in the given sector internationally and one of the most modern and technologically advanced shipyards globally, featuring the most advanced infrastructure in all aspects of production, occupies an area of about 70 acres and a total of more than 25.000 square meters of roofed premises. The shipyard expands in a total of four buildings and hosts a fully integrated production, perfectly organised in every step of the production process.

The first building, marked by the large Technohull logo, is the domain of the company manage-

ment and the design department, and hosts the assembly plant, where we saw units of all models, including several units of the flagship, Alpha 50, in various stages of completion. The three other buildings house lamination and infusion halls, as well as woodworking halls and the large CNC milling machine, used for development of all prototype parts and custom parts. Currently, Technohull builds roughly 150 units a year, with a growth trend that may require an increase in current capacity, but we were assured all production was to remain in-house, to maintain the quality of craftsmanship at every step of production. And quality was obvious and abundant, in the plant and in nearby Olympic marina which hosts a fancy lounge where clients can get acquainted with all the custom features, consult with designers, and where units are available for test rides which we gladly accepted to go on one in which the tested model amazed us once again with its ease of use, with all functions on the control panel, to super precise rudder controls and sensitive throttle levers to which the engines respond almost immediately, giving a feeling of acceleration that can rarely be felt on any other craft, or to superb seaworthiness even at the 74 knots top speed.

Dedication to quality permeates the entire process, from design to the finishing touches, which is possible only if everyone involved is guided by passion – the passion that has remained a steady powerhouse in the heart of Technohull for almost twenty years.

upnja jahte jedno je od najvećih, najosobnijih i najljepših ulaganja koje itko od nas može napraviti. Međutim, za uživanje u vlasništvu potrebna su još dva vrlo važna koraka: pronalaženje prave posade i prikladne softverske platforme koja toj posadi omogućuje organizaciju rada, a donosi ključne i ažurne informacije. Vlasnik u svakom trenu mora imati svu kontrolu u rukama i donositi prave odluke bez previše stresa. Svatko tko već posjeduje jahtu zna što to znači.

DeepBlue je ušao na tržište 2013., donoseći rješenje stvoreno na temelju dubinskog razumijevanja stvarnosti nautičke industrije i nedostataka drugih, postojećih softverskih platformi. Od ranih početaka, prije više od jednog desetljeća, DeepBlue razrađuje i usavršava svoju temeljnu ideju i danas predstavlja savršenu platformu za potpuno upravljanje jahtama.

U razgovoru, jedan od osnivača DeepBluea je kazao: 'Prije nego što smo napisali i prvi red koda, postavili smo si temeljno pitanje: što je najveća prepreka u povećanju učinkovitosti platformi za upravljanje jahtama? Pokazalo se da je ta prepreka neučinkovita komunikacija između posade i menadžmenta, ali i nedostatak relevantnih informacija kada su najpotrebnije. To je najviše dovodilo do toga da posada gubi vrijeme, a vlasnici uzalud troše novac. To smo odlučili riješiti holističkim pristupom.'

Tako je Deep Blue osmislio sveobuhvatan proizvod sastavljen od više međusobno povezanih modula koji mogu upravljati operacijama jahte u cijelosti, a danas se nalazi na stotinama jahti u rasponu od 15 do 150 metara duljine. Upravlja svime – od financija, održavanja (PMS), inventara, sigurnosti (ISM), do naprednog obavještavanja i još puno toga. Modularni pristup proizišao je iz činjenice da se potrebe vlasnika privatnih jahti uvelike razlikuju, ali u određenim slučajevima neka postojeća rješenja su korisna za nadopunu modula DeepBlue. Pod motom 'Ako imate posadu, trebate i DeepBlue', platforma je najprikladnija za jahte od 25 metara naviše. Dinamična priroda cijena modula omogućuje i vlasnicima manjih jahti da ga koriste, uz značajnu uštedu u usporedbi s velikima.

Svi u DeepBlueu znaju da upravljanje jahtom nije moguće riješiti tek instalacijom još jedne sofisticirane aplikacije, stoga DeepBlue nudi i osnovnu obuku posade i upoznavanje s aplikacijom bez dodatnih troškova. Stručnjaci DeepBluea također nude i uvoz prethodnih baza podataka vezanih uz jahtu.

Nakon pravilne instalacije, DeepBlue omogućava posadi pristup centraliziranoj bazi podataka koja sadrži cjelokupnu dokumentaciju, raspored radnog vremena, računovodstvene podatke i doslovno sve drugo vezano uz svakodnevno korištenje jahte.

Zaboravite više verzija proračunskih tabela, zaboravite kopije za svaki slučaj. Zaboravite na podatke razbacane na nekoliko strana i glavobolju koju to izaziva. Svaki vlasnik uz DeepBlue dobiva pristup naprednim izvješćima koja omogućuju pametne odluke o budžetu, a za miran san, svi su podaci zaštićeni prema najvišim ISMS standardima i svakodnevno se sigurnosno kopiraju.

Yacht purchase is one of the biggest, most personal and beautiful investments in life. However, being able to enjoy the full benefits of yacht ownership requires another two crucial steps.

Finding the right crew and providing them with a suitable software platform that allows them to organize their workflow while providing you, the owner, with crucial up-to-date information.

You need to stay in control and make excellent decisions without excessive stress. If you already own a yacht, you know exactly what we are talking about.

In 2013 DeepBlue entered the market with its solution that was built on in-depth understanding of the yachting industry’s practices and the many shortcomings of the software platforms that existed. Since the early beginnings more than a decade ago, DeepBlue continues to expand on this premise, by now evolving into a full-fledged yacht management platform.

One of the DeepBlue founders notes during our interview: ‘Before we wrote a line of code, we asked ourselves a fundamental question. What is the biggest obstacle in making yacht management operations more efficient today? It turned out that crew-management miscommunication and lack of relevant information when you need it most was the no.1 reason crew was wasting time, while owners were wasting their money.

We set out to solve just that with a holistic approach.’ That is how Deep Blue built a comprehensive product consisting of multiple interconnected modules, that can handle the yacht operations in their entirety, nowadays serving hundreds of yachts ranging from 15 to 150m in size. Everything from finances, maintenance (PMS), inventory, safety (ISM), advanced reporting and a lot more is solved under one umbrella. The modular approach stems from the fact that private yachts differ widely in their requirements, and in specific cases, some may still choose to use their existing solutions to complement DeepBlue modules.

Guided by the maxim ‘If you have a crew, DeepBlue is for you,’ the platform is best suited for yachts 25 m and above. The dynamic nature of its pricing structure allows for the smaller yachts to benefit from significant savings in comparison to the large vessels.

The team at DeepBlue understands that managing a yacht cannot be solved by simply installing a fancy application. For this reason DeepBlue provides all initial crew introduction and training at no extra cost. Historical data and database imports are available and facilitated by DeepBlue’s experts.

Once properly set up, the crew will finally have access to a centralized database of all documentation, timesheets, accounting data and more, with user-level access permissions. No need for multiple versions of external spreadsheets and backups. No scattered data, no headaches. As an owner you would gain access to advanced reports that allow for smart budgeting decisions on-the-fly. For a full-time peace of mind, all data is protected by the highest ISMS standards and backed-up daily. Learn more at DeepBlue.app.

Sanja Božović postaje nova direktorica prodaje Sanlorenzo Adrije nakon tri godine u grupi, donoseći svoju stručnost, prečicu prema uspjehu i svježu perspektivu

Sanja Božović becomes the new Sales Director of Sanlorenzo Adria after three years in the group, bringing her field of expertize and immediate success with great perspective

Razveselila nas je vijest da Sanlorenzo Adria ima novu direktoricu prodaje, damu koja je zvijezda u usponu u regionalnoj prodaji jahti, koja je nedavno u svoj portfelj uključila i Bluegame. CEO Master Yachting Group i Sanlorenzo Adria, gospodin Schillinger, želio je dati svoje osobno viđenje na tu važnu promjenu u njegovu timu: 'Razvoj osoblja jedna je od važnih zadaća u Master Yachting grupi i stoga nam je veliko zadovoljstvo što ovaj vrlo važan položaj možemo popuniti nekim iz vlastitih redova, osobom koja s nama radi već tri godine. Sanja Božović je sustavno razvijala svoje prodajno područje u Srbiji i Crnoj Gori i u posljednje tri godine postala najuspješniji konzultant za klijente Sanlorenzo Yachts u Master Yachting grupi. Njezina nova pozicija je ključna za kontinuirani razvoj prodajne strategije naše tvrtke i rast prihoda. U ulozi direktorice prodaje, Sanja će voditi konzultante za klijente Sanlorenzo Adrije u Hrvatskoj, Sloveniji, Mađarskoj, Slovačkoj, Češkoj, BiH, Sjevernoj Makedoniji i Albaniji, a osobno će zadržati rad s klijentima u Srbiji i Crnoj Gori.'

Uspjeh Sanlorenzo Adrije vrlo je važan za razvoj Master Yachting grupe, koja je prisutna u 11 zemalja i ima sjedište u Beču, te prodajna predstavništva u Münchenu, Dresdenu, Düsseldorfu i Zürichu.

Prodajna predstavništva Sanlorenzo Adrije nalaze se u Rovinju, Sukošanu i Crnoj Gori, gdje je ujedno i ured nove direktorice. A zvijezda trenutka kaže: 'Pristala sam raditi u prodaji iz radoznalosti da vidim kako funkcionira, jer dolazim iz čarter svijeta i prodaja nam nikada

nije bila primarna djelatnost. Prvih godinu dana sam promatrala je li to stvarno za mene, i nisam postavila ni jedan uvjet. Nakon godinu dana sam počela bolje shvaćati kako funkcionira prodaja novih jahti. U svakom poslu volim baratati znanjem, i uvijek sam gledala da se ne pravim prebitna ‘jer sam Sanlorenzo’, nego da vidim što mogu naučiti od drugih kolega. Ubrzo sam shvatila da nisam tako loša i da mi se posao sviđa. Također sam shvatila da ću najviše naučiti ako sama prodam brod, a tako je i bilo.

Ne može ti teorija tu pomoći.'

KAKVA JE DANAS VAŠA SADAŠNJOST? Trenutno smo prodali više brodova, a imamo dosta klijenata u pripremi. Ovo je stvarno ‘people business’ i važno je da mi ljudi baš vjeruju, što i jest moj ‘drive’.

Također, mislim da je najvažnije da imate strast za bavljenje ovim poslom uz koji morate voljeti ljude. Ja volim i brodove i ljude, ali i lifestyle koji jahting pruža, a volim i da drugi to osjete. Kada radiš čarter, ti nekome uljepšavaš tjedan ili dva, i ljudi su sretni kada unajme brod. Sad sam iskusila koliko su ljudi sretni kada kupe brod koji im stvarno odgovara, poput Sanlorenza. Meni je jako važno da imam povjerenje u osobe s kojima radim i da oni imaju povjerenje u mene.

DUGO STE U JAHTINGU? Mislim da su svi u jahtingu dulje nego ja, iako sam također dugo u ovom okruženju. Moji su prvi koraci u obiteljskom biznisu, jer smo imali jedrilice za čarter, odakle smo krenuli k jahtingu. Nakon studija u Italiji ljeti sam dolazila raditi booking, možda malo prerano jer je to bilo još prije Porto

We were happy to hear that Sanlorenzo Adria has a new Sales Director, the women who is rising star of regional yacht sales, at the same time including Bluegame into their portfolio. Mr. Schillinger, the CEO of the Master Yachting Group and Sanlorenzo Adria, wanted to give us personal insight about the important change in his team: 'Personnel development is one of the important tasks in the Master Yachting Group and we are very pleased that we can fill this extremely important position from our own human resources with a person who has already been working with us for three years. Sanja Božović has consistently built up her sales area, Serbia and Montenegro over the last three years and became the most successful client consultant for Sanlorenzo Yachts in the Master Yachting Group. Her new responsibility is crucial to the continued development of our organisation's sales strategy and revenue growth.

In her role as Sales Director, Sanja will lead Sanlorenzo Adria's client consultants in Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, BiH, North Macedonia and Albania. She will continue to take care of clients in Serbia and Montenegro herself.'

The success of Sanlorenzo Adria is very important for development of Master Yachting Group which is represented in 11 countries with headquarters in Vienna, Austria, sales offices in Munich, Dresden and Düsseldorf as well Zurich, Switzerland, while Sanlorenzo Adria sales offices are in Rovinj and Sukošan and of course Montenegro, the home of new direc-

tor, who said: 'I agreed to work in sales out of curiosity, to see how that’s done, because I come from the charter world and sale has never been our primary activity.

For the entire first year I was an observer, I wanted to see if that was really something for me, and I set no conditions. After a year, I began to better understand how new yachts sales work. Whatever I do, I rely on expertise, and I have always made sure to stay unpretentious, to just hide behind the name Sanlorenzo, but to see what I can learn from my colleagues.

I soon realized I was doing quite well, and I liked my job. I also realized that I would learn the most if I did the sales myself, so I did.

There’s no theoretic knowledge you can rely on in this business.’

WHAT DOES YOUR CURRENT JOB LOOK LIKE? We have recently sold several boats, and we have a lot of clients waiting. This is really a 'people business' and it is important that people trust me, so that’s my motivator. Also, I think the most important thing you can have in this line of work is passion, you have to love sales and you have to like working with people. I love both yachts and people, but also the lifestyle that yachting offers, so I like introducing others to that lifestyle. Cruising is a delightful activity, so in charter, I was happy to offer a client a week or two of happiness. Now I have experienced how happy people become when they buy a boat that really suits their needs, like a Sanlorenzo. I find it important to be able to rely on my co-workers, and be the person they can rely on.

Od čartera brodova i privatnih aviona do prodaje Sanlorenzo jahti, Sanja Božović ostavlja uspješan trag u svakom segmentu luksuznog sektora

Sanja Božović leaves only a positive and successful mark, from charters of vessels and private aviation to sales of Sanlorenzo yachts

Montenegra, koji je zapravo stavio Crnu Goru na nautičku mapu.

Ja sam se prispitivala je li jahting stvarno za mene, a sve više su me zanimale veće motorne jahte. S vremenom su me jednostavno ljudi počeli prepoznavati kao osobu koja poznaje jahting.

ALI DOBRO POZNAJETE I PRIVATNU AVIJACIJU? Imam radoznao um, što mi dosta pomaže u poslu. Ponekad dobijem neke lijepe ideje, što se desilo i u doba korone, kada se u Crnu Goru moglo doći samo privatnim avionom. Prvo sam pomogla svojim prijateljima, pa su me počeli zvati nepoznati ljudi.

Za mjesec i pol dana smo prevezli 250 ljudi privatnim avionima u Crnu Goru, tako je počeo još jedan novi segment mog poslovanja, koji danas najviše koriste vlasnici jahti.

KAKO VIDITE RAZVOJ SANLORENZO ADRIJE U GODINAMA KOJE DOLAZE? Ne volim dolaziti praznih ruku i drago mi je da mogu kazati kako je mojim doprinosom Bluegame došao u naše zastupstvo.

Adria. Naš rad je rezultirao time da ljudi razmišljaju o nama kada žele svoj 'dream boat', te je velika sreća što imamo ovako dobar brend iza sebe. To također vide u brodogradilištu, pa očekujem da ćemo za pet godina imati važnu poziciju u cijeloj regiji.

ODRŽALI STE I DVA BITNA EVENTA U LIPNJU? Jedan se održao u Porto Montenegru, a jedan u Splitu. Imali smo izložen SD 96, Bluegame BGX 63 i Bluegame 42. Jako smo sretni da smo imali priliku uživo prikazati Sanlorenzo na Jadranu i ugostiti različite goste iz cijele regije, te otvoriti novi ured na premium lokaciji u Porto Montenegru.

HAVE YOU BEEN IN YACHTING FOR A LONG TIME? I think everyone has been in yachting longer than I have, although I have also been in this environment for a long time.

My first steps were made in the family business, as we had sailboats for charter, and later motor yachts. After my studies in Italy, I came to do booking in the summer, maybe a little too early, because it was before Porto Montenegro was finished, a project which put Montenegro on the nautical map. I wondered if yachting was really for me, and I was getting interested in larger motor yachts. Over time, people simply began to see me as someone who knows about yachting.

YOU ALSO KNOW THE WORLD OF GENERAL AVIATION? I have an inquisitive mind, which helps me a lot in my work. Sometimes I get a nice idea, like during the pandemic, when you could only get into Montenegro on private plane. First, I helped my friends, then strangers started calling me. In a month and a half, we transported 250 people by private flights to Montenegro, and so my business grew another segment, which is especially favored today by yacht owners.

HOW DO YOU SEE THE DEVELOPMENT OF SANLORENZO ADRIA IN THE COMING YEARS? I don't like to come anywhere empty-handed, so I'm happy to say that Bluegame became a partner thanks to my contribution.

Our CEO is aware of the potential of this region, as in three years we have sold a solid number of yachts due to the very presence of Sanlorenzo Adria. We have worked very hard to be the first name people think about when they want to find their dream boat, and we are very fortunate to be working with such a great brand. This potential is also reflected in the shipyard portfolio, so I expect that in five years we will hold an important position in the entire region.

YOU HOSTED TWO IMPORTANT EVENTS IN JUNE. One took place in Porto Montenegro, and one in Split. We had an SD 96, a Bluegame BGX 63 and a Bluegame 42 on display. We are very happy to have had the opportunity to present Sanlorenzo models in person, so to say, here in the Adriatic, and to host partners and guests from all over the region. We are also looking forward to opening our new office on a premium location in Porto Montenegro.

Ističući se u poslu čarter menadžmenta, splitska tvrtka Touch Adriatic danas nudi i uslugu kompletnog menadžmenta, sa željom da zadovolji sve potrebe vlasnika luksuznih jahti za najam

As a dedicated charter management company Touch Adriatic grows the business fast, today also providing full yacht management, with the desire to meet all the needs of luxury yachts owners

Splitska čarter agencija Touch Adriatic okupila je respektabilnu flotu motornih jahti duljine između 20 i 50 metara, a njezin direktor Marin Gabrić ove godine obilježava petnaestu godišnjicu rada u čarter industriji. Bio je to povod za razgovorom o čarter menadžmentu luksuznih jahti koji sve više dobiva na važnosti i u Hrvatskoj.

KOLIKO DUGO SE BAVITE ČARTER MENADŽMENTOM? Već 15 godina uspješno se bavim čarter menadžmentom. Kroz navedeno razdoblje stekao sam bogato iskustvo i duboko razumijevanje industrije, što je pomoglo u pružanju vrhunske usluge našim klijentima.

Kroz godine smo izgradili čvrste odnose i s vlasnicima jahti i s gostima, što je ključ našeg uspjeha. ČINI SE DA TA VRSTA POSLA POSTAJE SVE POPULARNIJA U HRVATSKOJ. ZBOG ČEGA? Jedan od glavnih razloga je racionalizacija troškova za vlasnike jahti.

Vlasnici mogu uz prethodnu najavu i koordinaciju s čarter menadžmentom koristiti svoje brodove po želji, a kada su brodovi slobodni, umjesto da stoje na vezu i generiraju često velike troškove, koristeći naše usluge putem čartera, tj. najma, ostvaruju prihod. Hrvatska je predivna destinacija, što privlači sve veći broj klijenata koji na luksuznim jahtama žele istražiti Jadran. Kombinacija gore navedenih faktora čini čarter menadžment sve popularnijim.

ZAŠTO JE DANAS TOUCH ADRIATIC NAJVEĆA REGIONALNA TVRTKA ZA ČARTER MENADŽMENT? Iskusni smo tim koji se godinama bavi ovim poslom. Naša stručnost i posvećenost pružanju ekskluzivnog čarter iskustva ključ su našeg

uspjeha, ali sve je to plod rada tima od deset ljudi koji vrijedno rade na zadovoljavanju najviših standarda čarter industrije. Ako bih trebao istaknuti dvije naše osnovne karakteristike, svakako bih naveo preciznost i MYBA poslovanje. Njegujemo odlične odnose s vlasnicima jahti, koji u svakom trenutku mogu precizno znati stanje popunjenosti i ekonomski rezultat, ali ponovno napominjem da ništa od gore navedenoga ne bi bilo moguće bez naših vrijednih djelatnika u uredu. Naša predanost detaljima i usmjerenost na zadovoljstvo klijenata svrstavaju nas među najomiljenije tvrtke od strane stranih kolega. ŠTO ZNAČI POSLOVANJE PO MYBA UVJETIMA? Poslovanje po MYBA uvjetima znači da radimo prema strogo definiranim pravilima koja štite vlasnike, klijente i brokere. MYBA predstavlja najviši svjetski standard u jahting industriji, s posebnim naglaskom na čarter i njihov sustav Yachtfolio koji svakodnevno koristimo. Sve je jasno definirano i transparentno, čime osiguravamo poštenu igru za sve uključene strane, odnosno naše vlasnike i klijente koji žele sigurnost za svoje ulaganje u odmor na jahti.

Ovaj standard poslovanja omogućava nam da pružimo visokokvalitetnu uslugu uz maksimalnu zaštitu interesa svih sudionika.

KAKVE SAVJETE BISTE DALI VLASNICIMA JAHTI KOJI ŽELE KOMERCIJALIZIRATI SVOJE PLOVILA? Luksuzna jahta ne mora nužno biti samo trošak. Uz pravilno vođenje s naše strane posada se brine o brodu, održavajući ga u savršenom stanju, dok se pritom ostvaruje prihod, pa jahta od problema postaje

Split-based charter management agency Touch Adriatic have assembled a respectable fleet of more than forty motor yachts between 20 and 50 meters in length. Their Charter Director, Mr. Marin Gabrić, is this year celebrating fifteen years in the yachting industry. We talked to him about luxury yacht management, which has been gaining popularity in Croatia.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN ACTIVE IN CHARTER MANAGEMENT? I have been in charter management for 15 years, and in that period, I’ve gained a wealth of experience, as well as a deep understanding of the industry, which helped my company in providing superior service to our clients. Over the years, we have built strong relationships with both yacht owners and users, and I consider that to be the key to our success.

IT SEEMS THAT THIS TYPE OF SERVICE IS GETTING MORE POPULAR IN CROATIA. COULD YOU TELL US WHY? One of the main reasons is cost rationalization for yacht owners.

Our service allows owners to – with prior notice and in coordination with the charter management – use their yacht as they wish, and when the yacht is free, instead of idling on the dock and generating cost, which is often high, owners can opt to use our service, and rent out their yacht, to generate income. Croatia is a wonderful destination, which attracts many clients who want to explore the Adriatic on luxury yachts. The combination of those factors is what’s been making charter management more and more popular.

WHAT MADE TOUCH ADRIATIC THE LARGEST REGIONAL CHARTER MANAGEMENT COMPANY? We have an experienced team that have been in this industry for years. Our expertise and dedication to providing an exclusive charter experience is the key to our success, and behind our success there are hard working employees who work to meet the highest standards of the charter industry.

They excel in both ends, towards the clients and owners, which is particularly difficult goal. If I had to highlight two of our features that have most contributed to our success, I would have to mention respecting MYBA standards. Another is maintaining excellent relations with yacht owners, who can get an accurate insight into the booking status and financial gains at any time. I would like to point out again that none of the above would be possible without our valuable employees in our headquarters. Our dedication to detail and our focus on client satisfaction is what made us one of the preferred choices of international partners.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO DO RESPECT MYBA STANDARDS? It means that we work according to strictly defined rules that protect owners, clients and brokers.

MYBA represents the highest world standard in the yachting industry, with a special emphasis on charter and their Yachtfolio booking system, which we use every day. Everything is clearly defined and transparent, which ensures fair treatment of all parties involved, that is, our owners and clients who want a safe investment

KAKVA PLOVILA SU DANAS NA JADRANU NAJTRAŽENIJA ZA NAJAM? Na Jadranu su trenutno najtraženije jahte s pet i manje jahte sa šest kabina, duljine do pedeset metara. Navedene jahte su se pokazale kao optimalne uzevši u obzir konfiguraciju naše obale. One pružaju optimalan omjer uloženog od strane vlasnika i dobivenog za gosta, bilo da je riječ o obiteljskom čarteru ili pak grupi prijatelja koji žele uživati u luksuznom odmoru na moru. Važnije od tipa plovila je spremnost posade i opremljenost modernom tehnologijom koja omogućuje da i naši gosti uživaju u najljepšem mogućem odmoru. Na primjer, bez dobrog kuhara nema dobrog čartera i slično.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO YACHT OWNERS LOOKING TO PUT THEIR VESSELS IN CHARTER MANAGEMENT? Luxury yachts are not necessarily just an expense. With proper management, which is what we provide, the crew takes care of the boat, keeping it in perfect condition, while the yacht generates income. The yacht becomes a small profit hub, no longer an idle burden, at the same time it gets properly maintained and always available to the owner. This is a win-win situation that allows owners to reduce maintenance costs and realize the potential of their yacht. Furthermore, we are ready to customize our services to every owner's wishes. In addition to the basic charter management, we can also provide technical management and bookkeeping services, yacht maintenance, crew selection, investment consulting and of course - yacht sales.

SO YOU ARE A ONE STOP SHOP FOR YACHT MANAGEMENT? Yes, we are growing into a one stop

shop for, as the yacht owners we’ve been doing business with have expressed their need for it. Owners are often busy people taking care of their own companies and private obligations, and they love to just leave the complete management of their yacht to us. Every yacht is a mini-company, and with our additional control and cost optimization, we ensure that owners get maximum value from their yachts.

Our partner network enables us to come up additional savings and other opportunities for optimization, which inevitably makes owners happy. There are many owners who have selected us to manage their second or third yacht in a row, after positive experiences.

WHAT KIND OF YACHTS ARE POPULAR IN THE ADRIATIC? Five-cabin yachts and smaller six-cabin yachts, up to fifty meters in length are currently the most sought after. Such yachts seem to be the best choice considering cost effectiveness, as they provide an optimal ratio between the owner's investment and guest experience, whether it's a family charter or a group of friends who want to enjoy a luxurious vacation at sea. More important than the type of vessel is the professionalism of the crew, modern equipment like water toy selection that allows guests to enjoy the best possible vacation. For example, without a good cook, there is no good cruising experience.

YOU HAVE STATED MANY TIMES THAT YOUR PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS IS ALSO BASED ON YOUR FAMILY’S SUPPORT. Absolutely, this business is more than a job – it's a way of life. I’m away from home a lot, this job requires lots of traveling and flexibility. Without family support, it would not be possible to do it so well. Their support is the basis of my success and the motivation to continue developing our company. My wife is a well, the respected doctor with an equally demanding career, so yes, my experience says that professional success is based on the unanimous and unwavering support of the entire family.

Vlasništvo jahte može bit izvor velike radosti, ali i brige. Dogovaranjem čarter menadžmenta jahta postaje mali profitni centar, ali ujedno je i spremna u svakom trenutku za korištenje vlasnika Ownership of the yacht can provide pure joy, but also stress. By operating the yacht in charter management, she becomes profitable and always ready for guests and Owner's use

DORIJAN DUJMIĆ Direktor tvrtke BWA Yachting Hrvatska jedan je od pionira u razvoju jahtinga na Jadranu

CEO of BWA Yachting Croatia is among the Adriatic yachting pioneers and leaders

BUSIN ESS TA LK

Povijest tvrtke BWA Yachting Hrvatska neodvojivo je povezana s razvojem jahtinga u Hrvatskoj, od samostalnosti naovamo. Njezin glavni protagonist je suvlasnik i direktor tvrtke Dorijan Dujmić, koji je sa svojim ocem i obiteljskom tvrtkom Marea primao prve jahte u još ratom pogođenoj državi. Danas BWA Hrvatska slavi dvadeset godina postojanja, što je bio izvanredan povod za razgovor s gospodinom Dujmićem.

DANAS OBILJEŽAVATE LIJEP JUBILEJ? Ove godine tvrtka slavi dvadeset godina osnivanja, krenuli smo 2004., ali bolje je da krenemo od povijesti obiteljskog poslovanja, jer smo agenciju Marea otvorili 1992. godine. Moj otac ju je podignuo na novu razinu, on je kapetan duge plovidbe, te je preko nekih kontakata u inozemstvu došao na ideju da bi mogao raditi kao agent za megajahte u Hrvatskoj, iako je tada još kod nas bio rat. U ljeto 1994. smo imali prvog klijenta u Istri, bila je to jahta Il Cignio od nekih pedesetak metara. Od tada je moj otac započeo s obiteljskim biznisom, i to je razvijao do 2004. godine, kada smo se pridružili međunarodnom udruženju koje se prvo zvalo A1JLT, a poslije je promijenilo ime u BWA (Blue Water Alliance) Yachting sa sjedištem u Londonu.

VAŠ OTAC JE ZAPOČEO, A VI NASTAVILI STVARANJE VELIKE TVRTKE? Moj otac vodio je tvrtku do 2009. godine, a tada je odradio tri mandata kao gradonačelnik Opatije.

Danas ima 73 godine. Hrvatska je bila prva zemlja koja se pridružila novoj grupaciji, iste godine su slijedile Crna Gora i Turska, a naknadno sve ostale zemlje. Danas u Hrvatskoj imamo dvadeset stalno zaposlenih i još desetak sezonaca.

U početku smo imali urede u Rovinju, Opatiji, Splitu i Dubrovniku, a danas su tu još uredi u Cavtatu i Šibeniku. Imamo i svoju tvrtku za opskrbu jahti, osnovanu 2020. godine, sa sjedištem u Zadru i velikim skladištem koja radi posao ozbiljnog volumena, a 2014. smo otvorili sestrinsku firmu SOS Yachting, koja se bavi poreznim savjetovanjem za

naše klijente. Matična tvrtka BWA Yachting danas je najveći jahting agent u svijetu, imamo vlastite urede u 26 zemalja, sa stotinjak ureda i oko 400 zaposlenih djelatnika, a godišnje radimo s 1800 jahti, a imamo više od 3000 jahti s kojima smo surađivali. BWA Yachting također ima firmu Berkeley Rand, koja se bavi istraživanjem neotkrivenih destinacija, a poznato je da BWA Yachting ima ekskluzivno partnerstvo s America's Cupom i Sail GP jedriličarskim događajima za koje vodi i organizira ‘Superyacht program’.

DANAS TO IZGLEDA NORMALNO, ALI VI STE PROBIJALI LED? Kao i svaki početak, nije nam bilo lako, jer od privezivača do zakonodavstva nije se znalo kako tretirati jahte, imali smo svakakvih situacija, ali u današnje doba možemo kazati da je jahting u Hrvatskoj uhodan, iako je put bio dosta dugačak i naporan. Primjerice, zakonska regulativa za pomorce na jahtama se promijenila, u carinskom tretmanu je jahta bila teško prihvaćena jer je u oku promatrača lako razumljivo zašto se jahtu tretiralo kao brod.

Ali ona ima 12 putnika bez obzira na duljinu, ili po novoj regulativi 36 putnika za privatne jahte, i danas smo postigli cilj s prihvaćanjem jahti kao pojma. Infrastruktura se promijenila nabolje, jer nisu postojali ni privezi, ni privezivači, priključka vode nigdje nije bilo, a danas je svugdje ima, a struje još uvijek negdje ima, a negdje nema…

Bio je to trnovit put, ali svaki je takav. Dobro smo uhodali biznis, te mislim da će i za dvadeset godina BWA Yachting dobro poslovati u Hrvatskoj, i nakon mene.

IMA LI RAZLIKE IZMEĐU HRVATSKE AGENCIJE I ONIH U SVIJETU? Ima, u sezonskoj prirodi posla, mi radimo četiri mjeseca, a oni cijelu godinu. Mi se ubijemo ljeti, kada radimo po cijele dane da izguramo sezonu, a zimi imamo samo nekoliko jahti jer nema velikih mogućnosti u Hrvatskoj. Tu dolazimo do riječke luke koja se zadnjih godina sve više profilira kao odredište za jahte. Još se čekaju papiri za taj riječki bazen,

The history of BWA Yachting Croatia is inextricably linked with the development of yachting in Croatia, from gaining independence to present day. The hero in this story is co-owner and director of the company, Mr. Dorijan Dujmić, who alongside his father, was among the first yacht agents, through their company Marea – in a country still plagued by the war. Today, BWA Yachting Croatia is celebrating twentieth birthday, so we sat down with Mr. Dujmić to congratulate him and see what the future will bring.

YOU ARE CELEBRATING A BEAUTIFUL ANNIVERSARY? This year, the company is celebrating twenty years of presence.

Yes, we were founded in 2004. But maybe it would be better to start this story earlier, from the foundation of our family business, because we founded Marea all the way back in 1992. My father then raised the business to a new level; he is a master mariner, and through some contacts abroad he came up with the idea of megayacht management in Croatia, even though the country was still at war back then. In the summer of 1994, we got our first client, in Istria, it was the 50-meter long yacht Il Cignio.

My father founded our company, led it until 2004, when we joined an international association that was first called A1JLT, and later changed its name to BWA (Blue Water Alliance) Yachting, based in London.

YOUR FATHER FOUNDED THE COMPANY, AND YOU GREW IT. My father ran the company until 2009, and then he served three terms as mayor of Opatija. Today he is 73 years old. Croatia was the first country to join the new grouping, followed by Montenegro and Turkey the same year, and others joined later. Today we have twenty full-time employees here in Croatia, as well as another ten seasonal employees. In the beginning, we had offices in Rovinj, Opatija, Split and Dubrovnik, and today we also have offices in Cavtat and Šibenik.

We also have our own yacht supply company, founded in 2020 and with headquarters in Zadar, with a

large warehouse that does high volume work. In 2014 we founded our sister company, SOS Yachting Croatia, which helps clients with taxes. The parent company BWA Yachting is today the largest yachting agent in the world, with about 100 offices and about 400 employees in 26 countries. We manage 1,800 yachts annually, and we have a fleet with more than 3,000. BWA Yachting also owns a new destination specialist Berkeley Rand, and we are proud to be partners of the America's Cup and the Sail GP tour, through our Superyacht program.

YOU SAY ALL THIS CASUALLY, BUT HOW HARD WAS IT TO BREAK THE ICE? Beginnings are always hard and so was ours, because we had to come up with every solution ourselves; we had all kinds of situations, but nowadays yachting in Croatia is well established, even though the road was quite long and tiring.

For example, the legal regulations for crews have changed, as did customs regulations – in the early days, yachts were seen by the same laws as ships. But since yachts can carry only 12 guests regardless of length, or according to the new regulation 36 guests for private yachts, today the government recognizes the yachts, treating them as a dedicated category. The infrastructure also changed, and for the better, because there used to be few moorings, or no moorings at all, there was no water or electricity available for yachts, as in some locations, that is still the case. It’s been a thorny road, but that’s just how it is. I think we have done well for ourselves, and in twenty years BWA Yachting will still be doing well in Croatia, even after I am gone.

IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CROATIAN AND INTERNATIONAL YACHT AGENTS? Sure, primarily due to the seasonal nature of our industry. We work for four months and they work year-round. We push ourselves to exhaustion all summer, and in the winter we only get a few yachts because there are no

Ivo Dujmić je još u ratnim vremenima započeo s agenturom jahti, poslom koji je njegov sin doveo na novu razinu

Ivo Dujmić started working as a yacht agent during wartime in Croatia, and his son upgraded the business to a new level

za sada samo Porto Baroš koji je manji dio luke, sa smještajem manjih jahti, a trend u svijetu je da sve ide veće i veće, a kada obuhvati cijelu luku, tada će se moći pričati o mediteranskom jahting odredištu.

Lako je moguće da će biti jedna od jačih marina na Sredozemlju. ŠTO VI TAMO ŽELITE VIDJETI? Kao čovjek koji živi u Rijeci volio bih da se razvije poput marina na Azurnoj obali, da ima i sadržaje za lokalno stanovništvo i da se ljudi mogu tu prošetati, da marina jednostavno podigne vrijednost cijelog grada i regije kao njegov glavni dio, poput marine Port Vell usred Barcelone. Mislim da svi naši obalni gradovi imaju takve mogućnosti. To nije lako ali može se, za što prvenstveno treba strategija na razini države, za što bi se sigurno privuklo strane investitore. ŠTO, PO VAMA, TREBA NAUTIČKOM SEKTORU? Treba biti više edukacije za manje nautičare koji najčešće iznajmljuju brodove u Hrvatskoj. Na primjer, ako manje plovilo ostavi smeće na plaži ili ispusti tank u uvali, onda i veće jahte moraju otići. Nije rješenje u kažnjavaju, već treba edukacija. Zasad imamo tu sreću što imamo razvedenu obalu, i neka ima svih plovila, samo da se ljudi znaju ponašati, jer je čak i sigurnost na moru ponekad ugrožena. Inače Hrvatska je sigurna destinacija, klijenti nemaju problema s kriminalom, što je najvažnije za naše goste, tako treba i ostati.

KAKO VELIKE JAHTE PLOVE PO JADRANU? Mi jako puno ovisimo o Veneciji, jer u proljeće radi Biennalea ima više jahti na sjevernom nego na južnom Jadranu. Veliki dio velikih

jahti posjećuje Veneciju, i svi oni krstare prema 'dole', posjete Istru i obavezno Brijune, malo presijeku Kvarner, idu na Lošinj, Kornate i Split, te se najviše zadržavaju na potezu od Kornata preko Splita do Dubrovnika. Imamo sreću da nam je obala tako razvedena i dugačka.

Još davno smo razvili vodiče za tridesetak najpopularnijih jadranskih odredišta koji su odličan orijentir za naše klijente.

MOŽETE LI IZDVOJITI NEKE JAHTE S KOJIMA STE RADILI? Godišnje radimo s dvjestotinjak jahti, unazad dvadeset godina, i teško je izdvojiti neku posebnu, ali sjećam se da je Queen K još 2005. bila najveća jahta u riječkoj luci, Talitha G je isto bila u riječkoj luci, radili smo s Abramovičevim jahtama Eclipse i Pelorus. S njima je bilo svakakvih situacija jer smo jednom samo na potragu sidra za jahtu Pelorus ispred Rapca platili stotinjak tisuća eura…

many yachts spending winters in Croatia. This is where the port of Rijeka comes in, which in recent years has been gaining attention from the yachting industry. The documentation for development plans is still pending, for now we can only use Porto Baros, which is a smaller part of the port, with berthing for smaller yachts. Since the trends dictate things getting bigger and bigger, Rijeka will not be an international yachting destination until all of it is available for megayachts. But then it just might become one of the most impressive marinas in the Mediterranean.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE THERE? As someone who lives in Rijeka, I would like its marina to develop like the marinas on the Cote d'Azur, to have facilities for the locals and walk-ins, too; for the marina to simply raise the value of the entire city and the region as its heart, like the Port Vell marina did for Barcelona. I think that all our coastal cities have such potential, which isn’t easy to use, but it can be done. The first thing we need is a strategy at the state level, that will surely attract foreign investors.

WHAT DO YOU THINK THE NAUTICAL SECTOR NEEDS? There should be more education opportunities for skippers, who most often charter in Croatia. For example, if a smaller vessel leaves trash on the beach or drops a black water tank in the bay, larger yachts will leave the location too, as it is not nice anymore. Punishment is not the solution, but education is needed. For now, we are lucky enough to have an indented coast,

and it’s good to have all sorts of vessels cruising along it, but crews need to learn good maritime behavior, because now even safety at sea is sometimes threatened. Otherwise, Croatia is a safe destination, clients have no problems with crime, which is the most important thing for our guests, and it should stay that way.

HOW DO LARGE YACHTS FARE IN THE ADRIATIC? We depend a lot on Venice because in the spring there are more yachts in the northern Adriatic than in the southern Adriatic, they all flock to the Biennale. A large number of large yachts visit Venice, and they all cruise downstream, to visit Istria and Brijuni, to dip their toes into Kvarner, and to visit Lošinj, Kornati and Split. In the summer, they mostly stick to the route from Kornati through Split to Dubrovnik. We are lucky that our coast is so diverse and long. Ages ago we developed guides for about thirty of the most popular Adriatic destinations, which are excellent reference point for our clients.

CAN YOU SINGLE OUT SOME YACHTS YOU HAVE MANAGED? We’ve been managing about two hundred yachts every year for the past twenty years, and it is difficult to single out a special one, but I remember that in 2005 Queen K was the largest yacht in the port of Rijeka, and Talitha G also visited the port of Rijeka. We managed Roman Abramovič's yachts Eclipse and Pelorus and got into all sorts of situations with them. Once we had to pay about a hundred thousand euros just to find an anchor for Pelorus in the waters of Rabac...

ANDRIJA ŠIMIĆ Simmor Marine veliki je promicatelj jahtinga i elitnog turizma na Jadranu s posebnim naglaskom na riječku luku kao cjelogodišnji vez za megajahte

Simmor Marine is a great promoter of yachting and elite tourism in Croatia, with special attention to Rijeka as a whole year destination for megayachts

BUSIN ESS TA LK Vlasnik pomorske agencije Simmor Marine, specijalizirane za rad s jahtama, bivši je kapetan, a danas uspješan poduzetnik Andrija Šimić, osebujnog izgleda i dinamičnog životnog stila. Agenciju je osnovao prije točno dvadeset godina i pravi je ambasador hrvatskog jahtinga u svijetu, te jedna od najzaslužnijih osoba za evoluciju riječke luke u smislu jahtinga, ali i pozitivnu percepciju tog elitnog biznisa u Hrvatskoj. Pitali smo ga kako je započeo s agenturom za jahte.

'Uvijek su mi se iz neke gluposti događale najbolje stvari. Imao sam jako težak čarter, gosti su radili nevjerojatne stvari, te su nam čak potopili dva jet-skija. Tu sam naletio na buduće partnere jer mi je tada Catalano Shipping (dio Cosulich grupe) bio agent, pomogli su nam da spasimo čarter, te smo Tomaso, Laurent i ja postali prijatelji, da bismo 2014. postali partneri. Priča je zanimljiva jer dopire do dvadeset godina unatrag, do 1994., kada sam tražio posao, a tada je bilo teško 'ukrcat se'. Otišao sam u Trst, u povijesnu zgradu Fratelli Cosulich, ali intervju za prvi ukrcaj nije dobro prošao. Od tada prođe 20 godina i ja sa svojim sadašnjim partnerom i prijateljem Augustom Cosulichem odlazim u Trst i uđem u tu istu zgradu i vidim čovjeka s kojim sam imao intervju. Išli smo ga pozdraviti, i čovjek je pronašao intervju sa mnom u digitalnom obliku, i na dnu zabilješku da sam čudno izgledao i da nisam ulijevao povjerenje.

Izgledao sam isto kao i danas, kao da me je plima izbacila, ali danas smo partneri, a to je najveća pomorska agencija na svijetu. Nevjerojatno sam ponosan što sam dio te kompanije i radije govorim o njima i njihovoj povijesti nego o sebi.'

I POČECI SU VAM VEZANI UZ TALIJANSKE KAPETANE? Jedan od najvećih talijanskih kapetana zove se Luigi Del Tevere, da nije bilo njega, ne bi postojao Simmor. Mi smo od početka radili kvalitetno, ali falilo nam je klijenata, kojih treba imati barem stotinu, a u trećoj smo godini poslovanja došli do dvadeset. On se odlučio za nas, kada je bio kapetan na jahti koju je tada posjedovao Flavio Briatore, koji je bio moj prvi veliki klijent. Ostale velike jahte su prepoznale da se preko mene može raditi, on me upoznao s Ginom Battagliom i svim talijanskim ko-

legama. U međuvremenu sam postao i prvi sponzor ITALIAN YACHT MASTER grupe, i drago mi je vidjeti što su napravili u ovih 11 godina.

Tako nešto bi trebalo napraviti i u Hrvatskoj jer naše Ministarstvo mora je jedno od najrazumnijih ministarstava i kada bismo mu na zajednički način pristupili, mogli bismo riješiti niz izazova, kao što su licence za Yacht Master od 1000 i 3000 tona koje naši Yacht Masteri trebaju, jer su jahte sve veće.

HTJELI STE NEŠTO KAZATI I O KAPETANU IVI DUJMIĆU? To neka bude vodilja nekoj novoj generaciji koja će doći nakon nas.

Uvijek je bio nevjerojatan gospodin, počeo je s jahtingom kada ja još nisam znao što bih radio u životu. Bio je prema meni nevjerojatno susretljiv, i pomagao, iako je u tom trenutku bio tako velika zvijezda jahtinga da smo ga gledali sa strahopoštovanjem. Bio je uvijek pun savjeta i dobronamjeran, što bi trebala biti smjernica kako bi se mladi trebali ponašati. Moraju surađivati iako su u suprotnim kompanijama, dijalog je jedini način napretka destinacije.

MOŽETE LI KOMENTIRATI TRENUTAČNO STANJE U RIJECI? U Rijeci mi doslovno živimo san, jer riječka luka nije bila 'friendly for yachts' sve do prije desetak godina. Kad razmišljaš o tome kakva je situacija sada, s dvije jahte od preko 130 metara, a to su Prince Abdul Aziz i Al Mirquab, onda čovjek pomisli da sanja. Generalna je situacija da smo zadnjih sedam godina potpuno popunjeni, a zbog 'overbookinga' izmišljamo neke nove vezove, i situacija je sjajna. To smo znali u startu jer iza svake velike luke i svake priče o jahtingu mora stajati jedan veliki grad, u kojem se događa 'šušur' i gdje posada može izaći vani. Kada sam na početku predlagao da bi u Rijeci moglo biti nešto, ljudi su se smijali i govorili da 'koji će vlasnik doći u Rijeku'. Ali ne dolaze u Rijeku vlasnici, već posade i oni jako puno odlučuju gdje će zimovati. Njima je bitan doživljaj jer sve je osjećaj, i sam jahting je osjećaj i doživljaj... Ljudi se varaju misleći da nam trebaju 'bitve od zlata', treba im siguran vez i sadržaj kada iziđu s broda. Lučka uprava Rijeka je najbolji domaćin koji kompanija može poželjeti, jako su 'business friendly'.

KAKVA JE BUDUĆNOST RIJEKE

The owner of the Simmor Marine, specializing in super yacht agency is a former Captain, today a successful entrepreneur, Andrija Šimić, equally interesting for his striking appearance and dynamic lifestyle.

He founded the agency exactly twenty years ago and has since grown into a true ambassador of Croatian yachting in the world, and one of the most deserving people for the yachting-related evolution of the port of Rijeka, as well as for the positive perception of this elite business in Croatia. We talked to Mr. Šimić about his beginnings.

'The best things have always happened to me out of the blue, and due to something silly. I was handling a very difficult charter, the guests behaved horribly, even sinking two of our jet skis. That's where I ran into my future partners, my agent back then was Catalano Shipping (part of the Cosulich Group) and they helped us save that situation. Tomaso, Laurent and I became friends, and in 2014 they became partners. Our story goes back twenty years, to 1994, when I was looking for a job, back when it was difficult to get employed on a ship as apprentice. I went to Trieste, to the historic Fratelli Cosulich building, but my first interview did not go well. 20 years later, I go to Trieste with my current partner and friend August Cosulich, enter that same building and see the man who interviewed me back then. We went to greet him, and the man found the digital record of my interview, and a note at the bottom that said I looked strange and did not inspire confidence. I looked the same as I do today, as if I’d slept on a bench somewhere, but today we are partners in the biggest international maritime agency. I'm incredibly proud to be a part of that company and I'd rather talk about them and their history than about myself.'

YOUR BUSINESS IS INEXTRICABLY LINKED TO ITALIAN SEA CAPTAINS? One of the greatest Italian sea captains is Luigi Del Tevere, and if it wasn't for him, there would be no Simmor. From the beginning, we worked good, but we lacked clients; you should have at least a hundred, and in three years we managed to find twenty. Del Tevere was the captain of the yacht owned by Flavio Briatore, who became my first big

client. Other big yachts followed; he introduced me to Gino Battaglia and all his Italian colleagues. In the meantime, I became the first sponsor of the ITALIAN YACHT MASTER group, and I am glad to see what they have done in these 11 years. Something like this should be done in Croatia as well, because our Ministry of the Sea is one of the smartest ones, and if well acted together, we could solve a number of challenges, like licenses for Yacht Masters on 1000 and 3000 tons…

YOU WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT CAPTAIN IVO DUJMIĆ?

He showed us how to do things, and that is a legacy to inspire new generations. He was always an amazing gentleman, he started working on yachts back when I still didn't know what I would do in life. He was incredibly understanding and helpful, even though he was such a big yachting star. He always gave great advice, always was well-intentioned, and his example should guide new generations as well. We all should cooperate despite being in competition, as dialogue is the only way to progress.

CAN YOU COMMENT ON THE CURRENT SITUATION IN RIJEKA? In Rijeka, we are literally living a dream, because only ten years ago, the port of Rijeka wasn’t yacht-friendly. When you look at it now, with two yachts above 130 meters – Prince Abdul Aziz and Al Mirquab – you’d think you’re dreaming. Generally speaking, we have been fully booked for the last seven years, and even had to come up with some solutions due to overbooking, so the situation is great. We knew this would happen, because behind every big marina with yachting story there must be a big city, a vibrant city where things are happening, where crews can step off-board and go enjoy themselves. When I initially suggested Rijeka, people laughed at me, saying, who’d want to come to Rijeka. But it is not yacht owners who come to Rijeka – it’s the crews, and the crews make many decisions, a lot hinges on them, they choose where they will spend the winter.

Experiences are important to them, because yachting itself is all about the feeling, all about experiences...

BUSIN ESS TA LK KAO JAHTING ODREDIŠTA? Obitelj Lürssen i ACI zajedno planiraju ogroman projekt koji će promijeniti Rijeku zauvijek. Ostaje nam sadašnji dio megajahtinga, a imat ćemo uz to najmoderniju marinu koja će razvijati ono što nam najviše nedostaje, a to su vezovi za manje jahte. Tu će se razviti i industrija čartera jer Rijeka bi bila sjajan 'prvi porat'. Imamo nevjerojatan centar na Malom Lošinju koji se potpuno izdvojio s tvrtkom Jadranka, koja se okrenula elitnom turizmu. Kad pogledam standarde Lošinj Hotels and Villas, mislim da su nekad iznad jahtaških, a to nije lako postići. Vidim tamo nevjerojatne stvari, vrhunske restorane, vrhunske doživljaje i izlete koje možemo organizirati, pa gledam Rijeku kao početnu i završnu točku, gledam Rab, Krk i Cres kao nekakav 'krešendo' te čarter kompozicije, Lošinj kao vrhunac, fantastičan Rovinj, Brijune i Opatiju za kraj.

A KAKO VIDITE SIMMOR U BUDUĆNOSTI? Iako radimo u cijeloj Hrvatskoj, i to uz nevjerojatnu podršku mog kolege Lovorka Lučića iz Dubrovnika, mi smo odmah u startu odlučili razvijati i sjever jer smo vidjeli da je potencijal ogroman, ali još uvijek neistražen. Od stotinu jahti koje uđu u Jadran, svih stotinu dođe od Dubrovnika do Splita, dvadeset ih dođe do Zadra, a manje od deset posto produži sjevernije. Tu smo još uvijek, pomorskim rječnikom, 'dead slow ahead', a bez problema bismo mogli biti 'full ahead' ako se stvari dobro planiraju. ŠTO TREBA NAPRAVITI DA BI SE TO POSTIGLO? Treba upoznati apsolutno sve brokere s tim da postoji i ponuda na sjeveru Jadrana, da će čarteri biti dobri i da će se ljudi dobro provesti, jer svatko tko dođe na sjever bude oduševljen. Ali je jako teško nagovoriti jednu jahtu koja je samo planirala doći do Splita, da krene sjevernije, na primjer do Venecije.

Nama na početku nije bilo lako nagovoriti jahte da dođu u Rijeku, ja sam čak na početku falsificirao meteo izvještaje, pa je nakon Hvara, Rijeka bila grad s najviše sunčanih dana u Hrvatskoj, a kada bi počela padati kiša rekao bih da tri mjeseca nije padala. Ali kada su ljudi upoznali nas, okolinu i potencijale - kiša više nije predstavljala problem.

VI STE SE IZ INOZEMSTVA VRATILI U HRVATSKU. KAKO GLEDATE NA TU MOGUĆNOST? Svatko će se vratiti ako ga zadovoljavaju uvjeti koje im možemo pružiti, što se najbolje vidi na primjeru Lürssenove investicije, koja je zadržala dvjesto obitelji visoko kvalificiranih stručnjaka u Hrvatskoj. Da imamo još takvih stotinu projekata, ne treba nam nikakav program za obnovu Hrvatske. Siguran sam da bi ljudi pristali i na nešto manje, a da budu doma. Ja živim po cijelom svijetu, a fale mi Rijeka i Hrvatska.

TREBA LI TRAŽITI VIŠE NOVCA OD STRANIH JAHTI KOJE POSJEĆUJU HRVATSKU? Ne treba, mi moramo raditi na tome da ih što više privučemo s broda vani, da naš destination management bude takav da što više vremena provedu izvan jahte, i da što više troše. Taksativnost je pokazala loše rezultate, jer mi situaciju koju imamo sada u jahtingu možemo zahvaliti talijanskoj vladi koja je na Sardiniji 2008. uvela porez na luksuz, kada se dogodila ogromna migracija iz Italije u Hrvatsku. Petsto puta sam rekao da bi Mariju Montiju trebalo dići spomenik negdje na obali, jer nakon njegovih poteza se kod nas stvorio bum super jahtinga. Moramo jahtama i posadama pružiti još dodatan luksuz i moramo privlačenjem najvećih svjetskih kompanija, kao što su Louis Vuitton, Prada ili Patek Philippe, pružiti gostima još ekstravagantnije okruženje, da bismo izvukli maksimum od jahtinga. Moja vizija Hrvatske je takva da ona ide prema elitnom turizmu na dobrobit cijelog društva. Ja bih htio da naš konobar ima jako veliku plaću, da restoran ima desetak stolova, ali da je u kasi ostalo pedeset ili sto tisuća eura. Da preokrenemo onu maksimu da 'puno zujimo, a malo meda dajemo'.

spectacular, golden moorings or something, but all yachts need safe mooring and content, fun when they get off the boat. Rijeka Port Authority is the best host anyone could wish for, they are very business friendly.

WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF RIJEKA AS A YACHTING DESTINATION? The Lürssen family and ACI are planning a huge project together that will change Rijeka forever. The current mega-yachting trend will continue, and we will also get a topnotch modern marina that will add what we lack the most, berths for smaller yachts. The charter industry will also develop there, because Rijeka is a great first pit-stop spot.

We have an incredible location in Mali Lošinj, who have pivoted toward elite tourism. When I look at Lošinj Hotels and Villas, I sometimes think they are even more luxurious than yachts, and that’s no mean feat. I’ve seen some incredible things there, top restaurants, top experiences and excursions, which all makes Rijeka an excellent starting and ending point for cruises. Including Rab, Krk and Cres as a kind of crescendo to every charter melody, Lošinj as the climax, and then the fabulous Rovinj, Brijuni and Opatija as the coda.

HOW DO YOU ENVISION SIMMOR MARINE IN THE FUTURE? Although we work throughout Croatia, with the incredible support of my colleague Lovorko Lučić in Dubrovnik, we have decided to develop northern Adriatic as well, because we immediately recognized the potential – huge, but unexplored. If, say one hundred yachts sail into the Adriatic, all of them will visit the area between Split and Dubrovnik, twenty of them will visit Zadar, and less than ten percent will venture farther north. We are still 'dead slow ahead' in nautical terms, and we could easily be 'full ahead' if things are planned well.

WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE? All brokers must absolutely be informed about the northern Adriatic opportunities, and pass it on to their clients: great cruising, great experiences. Visitors will be delighted. But it is very difficult to persuade guests who were only planning to sail to Split, to go further north, for example to Venice.

In the beginning we had a hard

time persuading yachts to come to Rijeka, I even falsified the weather reports to make Rijeka looked like the city with second most sunny days in Croatia, after Hvar. When it would rain, I would say that it hadn’t rained in three months. But when people got to know us, the environment and the potential, nobody asked about rain any more.

YOU RETURNED TO CROATIA FROM ABROAD. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT NOW? Everyone will return if they are satisfied with the conditions we can provide them, which is best seen in Lürssen's investment, which has kept two hundred families of highly qualified professionals in Croatia.

If we had another hundred projects like that one, we would not need any government initiatives. I am sure that people would agree to less of something just to stay here, at home. I’ve lived all over the world, but I always miss Rijeka and Croatia.

SHOULD WE ASK FOR MORE MONEY FROM FOREIGN YACHTS VISITING CROATIA? No need, we have to work on attracting as many of them as possible, and orient our businesses to, as destination, offer things to do, so they spend as much time as possible off the yacht, and that they spend as much money as possible. Taxation has shown bad results, because we can thank the Italian government for the current situation in Croatian yachting: Italy introduced a luxury tax in Sardinia in 2008, and that caused immediate yacht migration from Italy to Croatia. I’ve said many times that a monument to Mario Monti should be erected somewhere on the coast, because his actions spurred a super-yachting boom in our country. We have to provide yachts and crews with even more luxury, attract the world's largest luxury players like Louis Vuitton, Prada or Patek Philippe, we have to provide guests with even more extravaganza, that’s how we’ll get the most out of yachting. My vision for Croatia is migrating toward elite tourism for the benefit of the whole society. I would like our waiters to have high salaries, for our restaurant to have half tables empty – but earn thousands of Euros daily. Let’s stop being a country where lots of flapping and posturing creates very few results.

Mnogi nautičari će vam kazati da, ako želite malo mira tijekom ljetnih mjeseci, odete brodom na sjever Jadrana. To je razdoblje kada su dalmatinski otoci preplavljeni brodicama, katamaranima i jahtama za odmor. Razlog je jednostavan, jer većina gostiju želi vidjeti Split, Dubrovnik, Hvar i Korčulu ili, pak, nacionalne parkove Krka i Kornati, a kako su ipak najčešći posjetitelji koji na Jadranu borave u sedmodnevnom čarteru, teško da će se 'na prvu' odlučiti da ne vide najpopularnije jadranske atrakcije. S druge strane, sjeverni Jadran tako dobiva neočekivani mir na moru, posebno na otocima koji nisu do-

Many sailors will tell you that if you want some peace during the summer high season, the best idea is to visit Northern Adriatic. That time of the year Dalmatian islands are dotted with yachts, catamarans and boats sailing around, which is understandable – guests mostly want to visit Split, Dubrovnik, Hvar and Korčula or the national parks of Krka and Kornati, and since the most frequent visitors on the Adriatic are those coming over for a seven-day charter, it is unlikely that they will opt for anything other than the most obvious choice. This contributes to the main draw of Nothern Adriatic: peace and quiet even

Najljepši početak sjevernojadranske 'đite' je u Rovinju, kao gradu koji uživa u spoju tradicionalne arhitekture, modernih hotela i luksuza The loveliest beginning of the North Adriatic cruise can be Rovinj, the city of breathtaking architecture united with modern hotels and luxury

stupni autom ili manjim dnevnim brodicama.

U zadnjem desetljeću bilježimo i streloviti razvoj dvaju luksuznih odredišta, Rovinja i Lošinja, koji uz Nacionalni park Brijune postaju sve privlačniji i 'morskim' gostima. Ono što je zanimljivo jest da oni razvijaju upravo ponudu koja je zanimljiva za velike jahte, čiji gosti su željni luksuza, a svakodnevni ritual u odredištima poput Porto Cerva ili St. Tropeza je i kupovina, profinjeni 'wellbeing' tretmani i posjet izvrsnim restoranima. To je upravo ono što, za razliku od većine dalmatinskih odredišta, sjever Jadrana nudi, posebno u kombinaciji s obližnjom Venecijom.

Ako takvu plovidbu iskombinirate s uživanjem u mirnim uvalama tijekom dugih ljetnih dana, onda imate kombinaciju privlačnu svima onima kojima 'ludi provod na Hvaru' nije na prvom mjestu. Istodobno, želja mnogih iskusnih nautičara je uživanje u miru i tišini po modelu 'pusti me stat' i nedoticanje obale što je dulje moguće. Takav model plovidbe sve je teže doživjeti na otocima poput Visa, čija ljepota privlači nevjerojatan broj posjetitelja – odličan primjer su nepregledni ljetni redovi pred Modrom špiljom – pa je i s tog aspekta ljetna plovidba sjeverno od Kornata sve zanimljivija.

Ne želimo kazati kako je 'sjeverna đita' danas jednako privlačna kao i južne rute, ali smatramo da uz razvoj luksuznih odredišta taj akvatorij sigurno postaje sve ravnopravniji i za velike jahte, čiji gosti će jednako uživati u gostoprimstvu i šarmu vjekovnog Raba i monde-

in high season, especially on islands that are not accessible by car or smaller day boats.

In the last decade, two luxury destination saw rapid development: Rovinj and Lošinj, which, along with the Brijuni National Park, are gaining attraction with yachting visitors. Interestingly, they are developing into large yacht destinations, catering to guests who expect luxury on daily basis. Among their favorite activities is luxury shopping, just like in Porto Cervo or St. Tropez, as are SPA and well-being treatments and finest dining. All of this and more is now available in Northern Adriatic, which also benefits from its proximity to Venice – something Dalmatia cannot offer. Quiet cruising, peaceful coves in the long days of summer – doesn’t that sound more appealing than crazy days and nights in a Dalmatian party Mecca like Hvar? Many experienced sailors also prefer staying in quit bays for a while, not going ashore for as long as they can avoid it, and that cruising model is getting increasingly difficult to experience on islands such as Vis, whose beauty attracts an incredible number of visitors. Can you imagine spending your summer vacation queuing to see the famous Blue Cave? No? Maybe sail farther north and find out what the rest of the Adriatic has to offer.

We’re not trying to say that the northern route is more attractive as southern ones, but we do believe that with the development of luxury destinations, this area is certainly becoming more interesting for larg-

nog Rovinja. Smatramo da budućnost donosi balansiranje i nadopunjavanje ponuda sjevera i juga, na dobrobit svih koji plove Jadranom. Brojne uvale pogodne za kupanje i sidrenje tijekom mirnih vremena lako su dostupne ploveći među lukama koje su uglavnom smještene u gradovima na 'glavnim' otocima. Za one kojima nije poznat taj dio Jadrana, donosimo popis njegovih najpoznatijih odredišta.

ROVINJ Grad koji se slobodno može zvati hrvatski Portofino je razvojem turističke grupacije Maistra u smjeru ponude za elitne goste, te rekonstrukcijom ACI marine ispred hotela Grand Park, postao najpopularnije odredište na istarskom poluotoku. Kao idealno odredište za polazak na krstarenje ili uživanje u čarima unutrašnjosti Istre, Rovinj predstavlja nezaobilazno odredište za nautičare koji će posjetiti taj dio Hrvatske.

BRIJUNI Ovaj hrvatski nacionalni park, osim što ga krasi prelijepo otočje, u sebi nosi duh prošlih vremena. Mnogi gosti još znaju tko je bio Tito, čiji je lifestyle na Brijunima danas glavna turistička vedeta, uz nezaobilazan safari i vožnju turističkim vlakićem. Stara, ali dobra marina pruža odličan vez za jahte do 50 metara duljine, a možemo slobodno kazati da je šteta ne posjetiti Brijune 'u originalu', dok se ne pretvore u još jedno elitno turističko odredište.

Northern Adriatic offers many bays and coves suitable for swimming and anchoring, usually easily accessible by boat, as well as protected mooring, mostly located in small towns on bigger islands. For those who are not familiar with this part of the Adriatic, we have created a list of most of its most interesting destinations.

ROVINJ The Croatian Portofino, Rovinj has become the most popular destination on the Istrian peninsula thanks to tourist giant Maistra, who pivoted their development toward elite guests, and the reconstruction of the ACI marina by the Grand Park hotel perfectly complements their efforts. Also, ideal starting point for any trips into the Istrian rich mainland, Rovinj is a must-see destination for yachts in the Northern Adriatic.

Many visitors are well aware this was the favorite vacation place of the former head of state Tito, whose lifestyle is today one of the main tourist attractions of Brijuni, along with the must-see safari

CRES Nevjerojatno razveden otok sa sjeverne strane čuvaju visoke litice nastanjene bjeloglavim supovima, s istočne bogato razgranata Punta Križa s mnogim uvalama idealnim za nautičare, s južne kristalno čisto more i predivne uvale, poput plaže podno svjetski poznatih Lubenica, te za kraj grad Cres, odlično zaklonjen u dubokoj uvali koja gleda na kopno. Morski dio otoka odlično se nadopunjuje s njegovom unutrašnjošću, koja čuva jedno od najboljih maslinovih ulja na Jadranu, ovčarsku tradiciju i raznovrsno začinsko bilje.

MALI LOŠINJ Gotovo u svakom broju našeg časopisa imamo poneku crticu o Lošinju, jer on to zaista zaslužuje. Kao najveći grad na hrvatskim otocima, Mali Lošinj nudi sve civilizacijske tekovine koje mogu zanimati nautičare, uključujući i predivan Apoksiomenov muzej, ali pravi raj nude njegove južne obale s brojnim uvalama i tvrtkom Lošinj Boutique

Hotels kao svjetionikom luksuza na ovom dijelu Jadrana.

RAB S tragovima kulture koji sežu do prije rimskog doba, glavnim gradom čija ljepota će vas ostaviti bez daha, a ACI marina u njegovu središtu pružiti siguran vez, Rab će vam prvim dodirom pokazati da ste došli na posebno mjesto. Pješčane plaže na sjevernom dijelu otoka kompatibilne su sa zelenim uvalama na jugu, pa iako je otok izložen napadima turista s kopna, nemojte ga propustiti posjetiti za vrijeme vaše plovidbe ovim područjem.

SUSAK Za mnoge nepoznat, za druge nezaobilazan, ovaj pješčani otok koji zimi nastanjuje tek 150 stanovnika čuva vlastiti dijalekt, nekoliko dobrih domaćih konoba i ambijent koji je jedinstven na cijelom Jadranu, čime je zaslužio status austrijskog lječilišta za djecu prije Prvog svjetskog rata. Ako tijekom plovidbe tražite nešto sasvim drukčije, doći ćete na pravo mjesto.

and tourist train ride. The old, but decent marina provides safe mooring for yachts up to 50 meters in length, so we recommend you visit, as it would be a shame not to visit Brijuni while they are still unique and untouched by modern tourism.

CRES The fabulously indented island is guarded on the north by high cliffs inhabited by griffon vultures, on the east by Punta Križa with its many coves for boaters, on the south by crystal clear sea and wonderful bays (like the beach at the foot of the world-famous Lubenice), and by the town of Cres, perfectly sheltered in a deep bay overlooking the mainland. The sea and the land are equally attractive when it comes to Cres, as the island boasts the finest olive oil production in the Adriatic, there are still numerous sheep herders and the nature is abundant in fragrant herbs.

MALI LOŠINJ We know we feature Mali Lošinj in almost every issue of our magazine,

but only because it really deserves it.

As the largest town on any Croatian island, Mali Lošinj brims with culture, ancient and new, like the fantastic Museum of Apoxymenos, but the true paradise lies on its southern shore, with endless coves. There, Lošinj Boutique Hotels shines as the brightest beacon of luxury in this part of the Adriatic.

RAB With traces of culture dating back to pre-Roman times, a town whose beauty will leave you breathless, and the ACI marina in its very heart providing safe mooring, the island of Rab is a special place that charms at first sight. Sandy beaches on its northern part of the island are as delightful as green coves in the south, so even though the island is really popular among tourists coming in from the mainland and can get crowded, it’s a must-see for those coming by boat, as well.

SUSAK Unknown to most, must-see for others, this sandy island with only 150 inhabitants during winter has its own dialect, several good local taverns and a truly unique feel to it. Before World War I, Susak was beloved by the Austrian- Hungarian government for the healing properties of its climate and hosted a children’s hospital. If you are looking for something completely different, Susak is the place for you.

KOMIŽA Ribarski gradić na Visu nautičarima je jedna od najdražih destinacija na srednjem Jadranu – zbog prepoznatljivog otočnog šarma, avanturističkog duha i dobre gastronomije

This fishing village on the island of Vis is a cruising favorite in the central Adriatic, combining quirky island charm, adventurous spirit and good food Smještena na zapadnoj strani otoka Visa, Komiža je slikoviti gradić bogate pomorske tradicije, koji osvaja srca putnika svojim šarmom i autentičnim duhom. Doživite opojne mirise mirte, lavande i ružmarina te uživajte u svježim morskim delicijama uz zvukove galebova koji se okupljaju oko ribarica punih svježe ribe.

Komiža nudi jedinstvenu atmosferu koja će vas ostaviti bez daha.

UVOD U MEDITERANSKU IDILU Putovanje iz Splita savršen je uvod u čarobnu Komižu. Plovidba do Visa pruža vam veličanstvene poglede na Jadransko more i okolne otoke. Po dolasku u Vis čeka vas kratka vožnja automobilom do Komiže ('Com Issa' – mjesto pored Visa), što je avantura sama po sebi. Nakon svakog zavojitog okreta na 'serpentini' pred vama se otvara slikovita panorama koja će vam zauvijek ostati u sjećanju. Ispod vas se prostire zvonik crkve sv. Nikole, zaštitnika pomoraca, crveni krovovi i kamene kuće poredane uz obalu, a oko vas

zelena brda prekrivena vinogradima i maslinama. U daljini se nazire otok Biševo, a između njih se plavi kristalno čisto more. Uplovljavanje u komišku luku je poput ulaska u simfoniju mora i kamena. Sunčeve zrake plešu na kristalnoj površini, a u pozadini se uzdiže brdo Hum (587 m). Živopisni ribarski brodići pričaju svoju priču, a visoki lukobran, obnovljen 1996., idealan je za večernje šetnje, dajući Komiži dozu luksuza.

NA SVAKOM SE KORAKU KRIJE NOVA PRIČA Šetnja uskim kamenim ulicama Komiže je poput putovanja kroz bogatu povijest. Gradić je naseljen od doba antike, a kroz stoljeća bio je pod utjecajem različitih kultura, što je vidljivo u arhitekturi, gastronomiji i tradiciji. Osim venecijanskih utjecaja, u arhitekturi Komiže možete pronaći i elemente bečke secesije i historicizma, ali i brojne svjedoke jugoslavenskog razdoblja – od stambenih zgrada, kina i hotela do spomen-ploča. Iako je turizam

Located on the western side of the island of Vis, Komiža is a picturesque town with a rich maritime tradition that wins the hearts of travellers with its charm and authentic spirit.

Experience the intoxicating scents of myrtle, lavender and rosemary and enjoy fresh seafood delicacies with the sounds of seagulls circling boats full of fresh fish. Komiža’s unique beauty will leave you breathless.

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE IDYLLIC MEDITERRANEAN The boat ride from Split is the perfect introduction to the magical Komiža. The journey to Vis offers magnificent views of the Adriatic Sea and the nearby islands. Once you reach Vis, a short car ride will take you to Komiža ('Com Issa' – a place next to Vis), which is an adventure in its own right. A picturesque panorama opens up after each winding turn along the serpentine that you will never forget. In front of you is the bell tower of the Church of St. Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors,

red roofs and stone houses are lined up along the coast, and green hills covered with vineyards and olive trees are around you. The island of Biševo can be seen in the distance, surrounded by crystal blue sea.

Entering the port of Komiža is like entering a symphony made of sea and stone. The sun's rays will dance on the water’s crystal surface, with the Hum hill (587 m) in the background. Colourful fishing boats tell their own story, and the tall breakwater renovated in 1996 is ideal for evening walks, giving Komiža a touch of luxury.

Komižani su (s pravom) ponosni na svoje podrijetlo, te će vam s radošću ispričati priče o bogatoj povijesti i kulturi ovog mjesta. Uživajte u razgovoru s njima, probajte lokalne specijalitete i zavirite u maštovite suvenirnice.

Although tourism is a significant part of its economy, the town has managed to preserve the island's lightness of being, unique spirit and charm, and meeting members of the local population is always pleasant and cordial. The people of Komiža are proud of their heritage (rightly so), and will gladly tell you stories about the rich history and culture of this place.

DESTINATIONS BOGATSTVO I RAZNOLIKOST NA NEPCIMA Putovanje kroz Dalmaciju bez posjeta otoku Visu i njegovim restoranima je poput plovidbe bez karte – gubite dragocjenu priliku da doživite čarobnu gastronomiju koju ovo područje nudi. Vis se od ostalih dalmatinskih destinacija izdvaja po mnogočemu, a bogatstvo i raznolikost njegove gastronomije samo su jedna od brojnih prednosti koje ga čine posebnim.

U brojnim konobama i restoranima možete uživati u tradicionalnim jelima poput brudeta, crnog rižota, hobotnice na žaru i komiške pogače. Jedna stara izreka s otoka Visa kaže: 'Riba mora tri puta plivati: u moru, u maslinovu ulju i dobrom vinu!' Stoga ne zaboravite degustirati i autohtona viška vina – vugavu i plavac mali – odavno poznate po svojoj kvaliteti.

Nautičari će se posebno oduševiti poznatom 'Jastožerom' koja svojim gostima nudi besplatan vez, a manja plovila mogu jednostavno uploviti ispod svoda direktno u bazen sa živim jastozima. Ova konoba, izgrađena 1883. godine, nekada je bila poznata kao 'lobstera', mjesto gdje su se uzgajali i čuvali jastozi za trgovinu diljem Europe. Danas 'Jastožera' nudi svojim gostima nešto više od svježeg jastoga pripremljenog na nekoliko načina – jedinstveno iskustvo, najkvalitetniji izbor ribe i putovanje kroz vrijeme i prostor.

Moderniji i kreativniji pristup gastronomiji nudi bistro 'Fabrika', u vlasništvu Luke Nižetića, hrvatskog pjevača i prvog hrvatskog Celebrity MasterChefa. 'Fabrika' je izvrstan odabir za doručak ili brunch, ali i za vegane, no u sjajnom mediteranskom street foodu sa signature burgerima i širokom

Boaters will love the famous 'Jastožera', where mooring is free of charge for guests, and smaller vessels can simply sail under the arch directly into the pool with live lobsters. This tavern, built in 1883, was once known as the 'lobstera', a place where lobsters were raised and kept for trade throughout Europe. Today, the 'Jastožera' offers something more than fresh lobster prepared in several ways – a unique experience, the best fish and a journey through time and space.

Naime, razvili su poseban tip broda na jedra – gajetu falkušu – brod iznimnih maritimnih sposobnosti. Falkuša je jedinstvena zbog toga što u sebi krije dva broda – niski brod pogodan za ribolov i visoki brod pogodan za jedrenje i prijevoz tereta. U 16. stoljeću u Komiškoj su uvali bile 74 falkuše, a posljednji tip najstarijeg ribarskog broda na

Avanturistička turistička agencija Alternatura, među ostalim, nudi jedinstvena iskustva plovidbe falkušom uz obale Visa i okolnih otoka. Posjetitelji mogu uživati u tradicionalnom načinu plovidbe te u priči o bogatoj povijesti i kulturi ovog broda. Posebno je popularna regata falkušama 'Rota Palagruzona', koja se smatra najstarijom regatom na Mediteranu, a možda i u Europi.

Poznata po svojem podvodnom svijetu, Komiža se može pohvaliti vidljivošću koja često premašuje 30 metara, što je čini rajem za ronioce svih razina. Čak i potpuni početnici mogu se okušati u uvodnim ronjenjima, istražujući živahne koraljne grebene prepunjene šarenim ribama. Iskusniji ronioci uživat će u ronjenju na brodskim i avionskim olupinama iz Drugog svjetskog rata, ili će se spustiti uz dramatične podvodne stijene susrećući se s raznolikim podvodnim životom.

'Fabrika' is an excellent choice for breakfast or brunch for vegans and guests looking for great Mediterranean street food alike. Their signature burgers and a wide range of options can be enjoyed any time of the day, with a great view of the sea.

The small pastry shop will win you over with its charming ambiance, but the real magic happens when you try Mrs. Jasminka's creative takes on traditional Dalmatian sweets. Every bite is full of rich flavours of Dalmatia, such as carob, fennel, dried figs, bitter orange, lemon, prošek dessert wine or their various combinations.

SAILING AND DIVING THROUGH HISTORY Komiža’s adventurous spirit is truly remarkable. For centuries it was inhabited by brave fishermen who first dared to leave the Adriatic and sail all the way to Malta. As a matter of fact, they developed the gajeta falkuša – an exceptional sailing boat. The falkuša is unique because it can be used for fishing, but also for transporting cargo. There

were 74 falkušas in the Komiža Bay in the 16th century, and the last type of the oldest fishing boat in the Mediterranean sank in 1986.

The gajeta falkuša is considered a symbol of Croatian maritime heritage, and three boats have been restored for the purpose of tourism: 'Comeza-Lisboa', 'Mikula' and 'Palagruža'. The Alternatura adventure travel agency offers, among other things, unique sailing experiences aboard the falkuša along the coast of Vis and nearby islands. Visitors can enjoy the traditional way of sailing, and hear the story of the rich history and culture of this boat. The 'Rota Palagruzona' falkuša regatta, which is considered the oldest regatta in the Mediterranean and perhaps in Europe, is especially popular.

The visibility in Komiža’s spectacular underwater world often exceeds 30 metres, making it a paradise for divers of all skill levels.

Even complete beginners can try introductory dives, exploring vibrant coral reefs teeming with colourful fish. More skilled divers will enjoy diving on World War II ship and plane wrecks, or descending dramatic underwater cliffs to encounter a variety of underwater life.

A upravo jedno takvo iskustvo nudi ranč Wild Brač, koji se nalazi neposredno iznad centra grada Supetra, s predivnim pogledom na Brački kanal i grad Split. Obitelj Wild Brač čine Stiven, Sara i Vicko – veliki zaljubljenici u životinje koji nastoje na najbolji mogući način povezati životinje i ljude.

'đite', onda vam svakako preporučujemo kupanje s konjima. Na početku, vodiči će vas upoznati s konjima i pružiti vam osnovne upute za jahanje, čak i ako nemate prethodno iskustvo. Konji su mirni i dobro obučeni, a najuzbudljiviji dio je kada polako ulaze u more.

Taj trenutak pruža vam nevjerojatan osjećaj slobode i povezivanja sa životinjama. Ova tura traje 45 minuta i prikladna je za sve uzraste, odnosno namijenjena je svim ljubiteljima prirode, avanturistima ili onima koji žele isprobati nešto drukčije dok su na odmoru.

Kao dodatak jahanju u moru, od ovog ljeta uvedena je i opcija vježbanja s privatnom trenericom Petrom, a upravo je ova tura najtraženija među jahtašima i ima mnoštvo prednosti: istodobna vježba i relaksacija, poticanje timskog duha i osvještavanje svih dobrobiti vježbanja na otvorenom. Također, trenerica osmišljava različite igre kako bi tura gostima bila što sadržajnija.

Ovakav pristup tjelovježbi oslobađa tijelo i um, omogućujući gostima da uživaju na višem nivou, uz predivno iskustvo plivanja s konjem.

Osim kupanja s konjima, Brač možete upoznati i iz druge perspektive, uz opuštajuće ture jahanja u prirodi, kroz maslinike do prekrasnog vidikovca. Iskusniji mogu izabrati jahanje do Škripa, najstarijeg sela na otoku, gdje se nalazi muzej maslinova ulja, a onima koji žele doživjeti kas i galop kroz dalmatinsku prirodu, preporučili bismo jahanje do Donjeg Humca. Na ranču se može jahati u jahalištu ili samo uživati u druženju s ostalim životinjama. Za kraj, spomenimo da je za kupanje, jahanje i posjet ranču obavezna prethodna rezervacija.

we recommend swimming with horses. First, the guide will introduce you to horses and give some basic riding instructions, even if you don’t have any previous experience. The horses are calm and well-trained, and seeing them slowly enter the sea is truly exhilarating. You will get an incredible sense of freedom and connection with animals. This is a 45-minute tour suitable for all ages, and meant for all nature and adventure lovers, or those wanting to try something different while on vacation.

Apart from riding horses in the sea, you can also get an exercise session with personal trainer Petra. This is actually the most popular tour for boaters: exercising and relaxing at the same time, encouraging team spirit and reaping all benefits of outdoor exercise. Petra also comes up with various games to make the tour as interesting as possible. This approach to exercise frees up the body and the mind, enabling guests to enjoy things on a higher level, paired with a beautiful experience of swimming with a horse.

You can also get to know Brač from a different perspective, thanks to relaxing horse-riding tours taking you through olive groves to a beautiful vantage point. More experienced riders can ride to Škrip, the oldest village in the island, home to an olive oil museum, and if you want to trot or gallop through Dalmatia’s nature, we recommend riding to Donji Humac. You can also ride a horse in the manège on the ranch, or just enjoy spending time with other animals. Finally, it’s important to note that advance notice and reservation is mandatory for swimming, riding and visiting the ranch.

Ovaj restoran odaje počast tim elementima koji vam pružaju utjehu, kao što je aroma bakine kuhinje i plata koja je uvijek spremna za goste. Lokalci vole Taj Mahal ne samo zbog hrane, nego zbog bogate povijesti i kulturnog iskustva koje pruža. Jelovnik i uređenje restorana odaju počast jednostavnim okusima i tradicijama Bosne, s fokusom na povrće i meso s roštilja koje dolazi iz vlastite boutique mesnice restorana, Taj Butcheraj. Ovdje ćete kušati najbolje ćevapčiće, a uz njih možete popiti i jedan od jednostavnih koktela ili čašu vina. Restoran se nalazi u samom srcu Starog grada, što znači da možete očekivati gužve, pa preporučujemo rezervaciju.

Upoznavanje brojnih vinskih sorti savršen je dodatak plovidbi Jadranom If there is anything to make an Adriatic cruise even better, it's fine wine tasting

Kad se otisnete na avanturu duž Jadrana, u vaš bi se raspored puta moglo savršeno uklopiti istraživanje hrvatskih vina kao gurmanski dodatak. Povijest vinarstva u Hrvatskoj seže unatrag dva tisućljeća. Vinogradi uspijevaju u obalnim regijama Hrvatske i na otocima još od brončanog doba, kad su Iliri počeli uzgajati vinovu lozu. U prilog toj dugoj i bogatoj vinogradarskoj povijesti ide iznimno raznolik terroir na kojem raste više od 130 autohtonih sorti vina koje nije moguće pronaći nigdje drugdje na svijetu. Kako ne biste morali razmišljati i istraživati, donosimo vam vodič za pronalazak najboljih hrvatskih vina dok plovite.

As you set out on your adventure along the azure Adriatic Sea, exploring Croatian wine could seamlessly fit into your agenda and enrich your trip with a gourmet twist. Croatia boasts a winemaking heritage that spans over two millennia. Vineyards have flourished in Croatia's coastal regions and islands since the Bronze Age, when the Illyrians first began cultivating grapevines. Supporting this long and rich viticultural history is a remarkably diverse terroir, home to over 130 indigenous grape varieties found nowhere else in the world. To eliminate the guesswork and save you time researching, here is a guide for finding Croatia’s best wines while sailing.

DEBIT Debit je ultimativno ljetno vino. Obično je zlatnožute boje i ima aromu citrusa, osobito limuna i limete, te jabuka. Vino je svježe, lagano kiselkasto i blago slano. Njegov uravnotežen profil odlična je nadopuna jednostavnim i svježim morskim jelima, kao što su salata od hobotnice i riba s roštilja.

Debit is the ultimate summer wine. It typically has a pale yellow color, with aromas of citrus - particularly lemon and lime - and pome fruits. On the palate, it is known for fresh and crisp acidity and mild salinity. Its straightforward profile pairs delightfully with simple and fresh seafood dishes such as octopus salad and grilled fish.

MALVAZIJA ISTARSKA Prepoznatljiva istarska sorta bijelog grožđa dolazi u nekoliko oblika, uključujući pjenušavo, svježe i odležano vino. Većinom se konzumira u svježem obliku, kad je umjereno aromatično, s notama bilja i citrusa. Malvazija se često pije uz morska jela i tjesteninu.

A flagship white wine grape of Istria, it is made in many styles: including sparkling, fresh, and aged. It is mainly consumed as a fresh wine, when it is moderately aromatic with botanical and citrus notes. Malvazija wine is often enjoyed with seafood and pasta.

PLAVAC MALI Kao prepoznatljiva dalmatinska sorta crnog grožđa, od plavca malog proizvode se vina punog, zaokruženog okusa. Posljednjih se godina promijenio stil proizvodnje, pa vinari sve češće proizvode laganije, elegantnije vino sorte plavac mali. Kušajte takva vina iz Komarne, najnovije hrvatske vinske regije. Želite li nešto tradicionalnije, potražite dingač ili postup. Takvo vino možete upariti s mesnim rižotom i varivima.

As Dalmatia's flagship red wine grape, Plavac Mali produces full-bodied and firmly structured wines. In recent years, the style has shifted: more and more producers are making lighter, more elegant Plavac Mali. For more elegant Plavac Mali, try the ones from Komarna, Croatia's newest wine region. For the traditional style, seek out the ones from the Dingač and Postup appellations. This wine can be paired with meat risotto and stews.

TERAN Napomene za degustaciju: teran je najpoznatije istarsko crno grožđe, prepoznatljivo po tamnoj boji, visokoj razini kiselosti, robusnoj aromi i okusu koji podsjeća na bobičasto voće. Savršeno se sljubljuje s istarskim pršutom, zrelim sirevima i jelima od divljači.

Tasting Notes: Teran is Istria's most prominent red wine grape, known for its deep color, high acidity, ferrous aroma, and flavors redolent of dark berries. It is a great match for Istrian prosciutto, aged cheese, and game dishes.

TRIBIDRAG

Sorta bijelog grožđa koja raste na otoku Korčuli daje vino osobite teksture i profila okusa kojim dominiraju sočne sušene marelice i smokve. Svjež okus savršeno upotpunjuje morska jela, koja možete naći u izobilju duž dalmatinske obale.

Poznato kao zinfandel u SAD-u i primitivo u Italiji, tribidrag je hrvatska sorta crnog grožđa. Od nje nastaju snažna, voćna crna vina s blagim taninima. Klasično je vino za odrezak i lokalne specijalitete od mesa, kao što su ćevapi i pljeskavica.

A white wine grape native to the Korčula island, it produces wine with significant texture and a flavor profile dominated by juicy pome fruit. Its refreshing quality makes it an ideal companion for seafood dishes, which are plentiful along the Dalmatian coast.

Also known as Zinfandel in the USA and Primitivo in Italy, Tribidrag is a red wine grape originating from Croatia. It produces bold, fruity red wine with soft tannins. It is a classic wine for steak and local meat dishes like ćevapi and pljeskavica.

DRESS TO IMPRESS Dizajnirani kao perfektni partneri smokingu, dress satovi utjelovljuju jednostavnu eleganciju i minimalizam lišen nepotrebnih detalja, koji se uklapa u sve formalne prigode

H. MOSER & CIE STREAMLINER PERPETUAL CALENDAR CONCEPT Nezavisni švicarski brend H. Moser & Cie, osnovan davne 1828. godine, uvijek se vodio filozofijom 'manje je više' u kojoj su satovi oslobođeni svih suvišnih ukrasa. Streamliner Perpetual Calendar Concept je skulptura modernističkog minimalizma koja se kroz jednostavan, ali nevjerojatno ingeniozan dizajn fokusira isključivo na bitne elemente. Sat je lišen indeksa i logotipa, a glavna je zvijezda brojčanik boje dimljenog lososa. Svjetliji je u sredini i tamniji prema krajevima, igra se kontrastima i proizvodi različite tonove boje, od čokoladne do profinjene zlatne.

The independent Swiss brand H. Moser & Cie, founded all the way back in 1828, has always been guided by the 'less is more' philosophy, in which there is no place for any unnecessary ornaments on watches. The Streamliner Perpetual Calendar Concept is a modernist, minimalist sculpture that focuses exclusively on essential elements through its simple but quite ingenious design. There are no indices and logos, and the main star is the smoked salmon-colored dial. Lighter in the center and darker towards the outer rim, the game of contrasts produces different tones, from chocolate-brown to refined gold.

AUDEMARS PIGUET CODE 11.59 Predstavljanje linije Code 11.59, ljudi iz Audemars Pigueta nazvali su najvećim događajem u povijesti brenda još od 1972. godine, kada je lansiran legendarni Royal Oak. Opsjednutost detaljima i artizanskim umijećem izrade vidljiva je na površini brojčanika razvijenoj u suradnji sa švicarskim majstorom za izradu giljoša Yannom von Kaenelom. Ručno ugraviran uzorak koncentričnih krugova koji sliči na mreškanje vode posebno efektno izgleda u kombinaciji nebeskoplave boje i kućišta od ružičastog zlata. Još jedan zanimljiv detalj je osmerokutna sredina sata kao hommage Royal Oaku.

The Code 11.59 launch event was called the biggest in the brand’s history since 1972, when the legendary Royal Oak was launched. The obsession with detail and craftsmanship is evident in the dial surface developed in collaboration with Swiss guilloché craftsman Yann von Kaenel. Hundreds of concentric circles engraved by hand resemble the ripple pattern of water and look especially effective in the combination of the sky blue and a rose gold case. Another interesting detail is the octagonal case center as a tribute to Royal Oak.

PARMIGIANI FLEURIER TORIC PETITE SECONDE Kroz fascinantno putovanje u vlastitu prošlost, Parmigiani Fleurier oživio je svoj prvi model, koji je 1996. dizajnirao osnivač brenda Michel Parmigiani. Nazvan jednostavno Petite Seconde, novi Toric odaje počast minimalizmu i estetici dress satova iz 60ih godina prošlog stoljeća. Jednostavan i čist brojčanik ukrašava samo dvanaest sitnih oznaka elegantno raspoređenih oko ruba i diskretni sekundarni brojčanik. Za ovaj model Parmigiani je predstavio kožne remene koji su završeni dvostrukim šavom nazvanim 'Punto a Mano', koji podsjeća na ručne šavove napuljskih krojača.

Through a fascinating journey into its own past,the Parmigiani Fleurier has brought to life its first model designed in 1996 by brand founder Michel Parmigiani. Called simply the Petite Seconde, the new Toric pays homage to the minimalism and aesthetics of the 1960s dress watches. The simple dial is decorated with only twelve tiny markers elegantly arranged around the bezel and a subtle sub-dial. For this model, Parmigiani introduced leather straps that are finished with a double-point stitch called 'Punto a Mano', reminiscent of the sartorial hand stitching from Neapolitan tailors.

PIAGET POLO DATE 150TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION Uz novo izdanje modela Piaget Polo, ova prestižna švicarska kuća proslavlja 150 godina bogate tradicije i inovacija. Model Polo predstavljen 1979. godine pod vodstvom Yvesa Piageta postao je simbol ere sportskog šika i uspostavio čvrstu vezu marke s kraljevskim sportom – polom. Rafinirana elegancija toplog bež brojčanika ukrašena je prepoznatljivim uzorkom vodoravnih utora, a ultratanko kućište od čelika savršeno se uklapa u svaki stil. Pravi urarski tihi luksuz u tijelu jednog od najkarizmatičnijih satova svih vremena.

With the new edition of the Piaget Polo model, this renowned Swiss house is celebrating 150 years of well-established tradition and innovation. When the Polo model was launched in 1979 under the helm of Yves Piaget, it became a symbol of the sport-chic era and established a firm link between the brand and the royal sport – polo. The refined elegance of the warm beige dial bears a distinctive pattern of horizontal grooves, and the ultra-thin steel case fits any style perfectly. A true example of the horologic quiet luxury in the body of one of the most charismatic watches of all time.

PERPETUAL 1908

OYSTER PERPETUAL SKY-DWELLER

Perpetual 1908 sada je dostupan u platini 950 s ledenoplavim brojčanikom, nijansom koja je rezervirana isključivo za Rolex satove od ovog prestižnog metala. Na ovom guilloché brojčaniku sa zrnatim motivom, svjetlost se odbija o uzdignuti uzorak, stvarajući razne refleksije pri svakom pokretu zapešća. Motiv na brojčaniku izrađen je tehnikom guilloché ili okretanjem motora – tehnika koja koristi okretni alat za oblikovanje geometrijskog uzorka na površini. Dekoracija aludira na tradicionalno urarstvo, no dizajn poput rozete, usredotočen na mali brojač sekundi na 6 sati, daje ovom satu iznimnu osobnost. Sat rijetke prepoznatljivosti, novi 1908 vizualno je remek-djelo, što pokazuju blistavi brojčanik i delikatna izrada čak i u najsitnijim detaljima, od dizajna brojčanika do rebrastih rubova prstena i filet sauté s naboranim uzorkom guilloché okolo minutne staze.

Sofisticiran, visokih tehničkih performansi i istaknut, Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller u 18-karatnom Everose ili žutom zlatu sada je dostupan s narukvicom Jubilee. Dizajniran kako bi neumornim putnicima omogućio brzo pronalaženje smjera, Sky-Dweller ponovno potvrđuje svoju eleganciju i užitak je za osjetila. Izmjenom veličine i završetka članaka – s manjim, poliranim središnjim člancima i većim, satiniranim vanjskim člancima – narukvica Jubilee u 18-karatnom zlatu ističe se svojim bogatstvom odsjaja i skladnim oblicima. Uparena sa Slate brojčanikom na verziji u 18-karatnom Everose zlatu i s intenzivno bijelim brojčanikom na satu u 18-karatnom žutom zlatu, ova je narukvica također cijenjena zbog keramičkih umetaka – koje je dizajnirao brend – unutar članaka, koji poboljšavaju njezinu dugotrajnost i fleksibilnost na zapešću.

The Perpetual 1908 is now available in 950 platinum with an ice blue dial, a hue that is reserved exclusively for Rolex watches in this prestigious metal. On this guilloché dial with a rice-grain motif, light bounces off the raised pattern, producing a variety of reflections with every movement of the wrist. The motif on the dial is created via guillochage, or engine turning – a technique that uses a turning tool to sculpt a geometric pattern into a surface. The decoration alludes to traditional watchmaking, yet the rosette-like design, centred on the small seconds counter at 6 o’clock, gives this watch exceptional personality. A watch of rare distinction, the new 1908 is a visual masterpiece, as demonstrated by the scintillating dial and delicate craftsmanship in even the tiniest details, from the dial design to the fine fluting of the bezel, and the filet sauté with guilloché crimped pattern around the minute track.

Sophisticated, technical and distinguished, the Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller in 18 ct Everose or yellow gold is now available with a Jubilee bracelet. Designed to enable tireless travellers to rapidly find their bearings, the Sky-Dweller reaffirms its elegance and is a delight to the senses. By alternating the size and finish of the links – with smaller, polished centre links and larger, satin-finished outer links – the Jubilee bracelet in 18 ct gold stands out for its wealth of reflections and harmonious forms. Paired with a slate dial on the version in 18 ct Everose gold and with an intense white dial on the watch in 18 ct yellow gold, this bracelet is also appreciated for the ceramic inserts – designed by the brand – inside the links, which enhance its longevity and its flexibility on the wrist.

BLACK BAY 58 GMT Potpuno novi model Black Bay 58 GMT evocira eru kada je novina jet-settinga u različitim vremenskim zonama bila usklađena s glamuroznim i elegantnim stilom. Opremljen je novim TUDOR GMT manufakturnim kalibrom srednje veličine, uparenim s toplim nijansama tamnocrvene, crne te pozlate na prstenu. Univerzalno privlačno kućište Black Bay 58 postalo je posjetnica modela, a sada dolazi u GMT obliku. Black Bay 58 je dobio ime po godini u kojoj je predstavljen prvi TUDOR ronilački sat vodootporan do 200 metara, referenca 7924, nazvan ‘Big Crown’. Između ostalih estetskih aluzija na ovaj slavni povijesni sat, ovaj model ima kućište promjera 39 mm, u skladu s karakterističnim proporcijama 1950-ih. Sat savršeno odgovara GMT funkciji, a uz Black Bay 58 GMT, ultimativna funkcija jet-settera dolazi s daškom elegancije iz sredine stoljeća. Prsten je tamnocrvene i crne boje s pozlaćenom 24-satnom skalom, u skladu s općim jezikom dizajna linije Black Bay. Dizajn podsjeća na vrijeme kada su se prvi put izrađivali TUDOR ronilački satovi, a mlazni zrakoplovi kretali kroz vremenske zone i prevozili putnike na odredišta o kojima su mogli samo sanjati, brže nego ikad prije. Završni pozlaćeni detalji primijenjeni su na oznake sati, kazaljke i oznake sati dvobojnog prstena. Još jedan omiljeni detalj koji je ostao na Black Bay 58 GMT je navojna krunica koja nosi logo TUDOR ruže u reljefu.

The entirely new model, the Black Bay 58 GMT, is evocative of an era when the novelty of jet-setting across time zones was matched by glamorous and elegant style. It is fitted with TUDOR's new mid-size GMT Manufacture Calibre paired with warm hues of burgundy, black, and gilt on the bezel. The universally appealing case of the Black Bay 58 has become the model's calling card, and now it comes in GMT form. The Black Bay 58 is named after the year in which the first TUDOR divers' watch waterproof to 200 metres, the reference 7924, dubbed the ‘Big Crown’, was introduced. Among other aesthetic allusions to this famous historical watch, this model has a 39 mm diameter case, in keeping with the characteristic proportions of the 1950s. The watch is the perfect match for a GMT function, and with the Black Bay 58 GMT, the jet-setter's ultimate function comes with a touch of mid-century elegance. The bezel is burgundy and black with a gilt 24-hour scale, keeping with the general design language of the Black Bay line. The design is reminiscent of when TUDOR divers' watches were first being made, and jet planes were moving through time zones and delivering interlopers to destinations they could only dream of faster than ever before. Finishing gilt touches have been applied to the bicolour bezel's hour markers, hands, and hour markers. Another fan-favourite touch that remains on the Black Bay 58 GMT is the winding crown, which bears the TUDOR rose logo in relief.

Karakteristični četvrtasti satovi i kazaljke ‘Snowflake’ izrađeni su od luminiscentnog keramičkog kompozita za optimalnu čitljivost u izazovnim uvjetima. Na obodu brojčanika nalazi se rekalibrirana tahimetrijska skala, čiji se unutarnji prsten fokusira na brzine biciklista. Sat krasi jednodijelni remen promjera 22 mm od čvrste, crne žakard tkanine i tradicionalna kopča, dok in-house kalibar MT5813 prikazuje sate, minute, sekunde, kronograf i funkcije datuma. Također ima završnu mat obradu i prepoznatljiv monoblok rotor od volframa te 70-satnu rezervu snage ‘otpornu na vikend’.

TUDOR has also introduced a brand new Pelagos FXD model: a cycling-themed chronograph.

This watch reflects the daring spirit of a team that competes in some of the most challenging cycling races around the world, including, from 2024, the Giro d'Italia. TUDOR opted for carbon composite for the case of the new chronograph and the implementation of titanium elements makes the watch necessarily robust as it will surely face unpredictable driving conditions. The chronograph scale is ‘wrapped’ around the dial in a spiral, making it possible to read the average speeds at a glance. The matte black dial with red details puts legibility first and recalls the colors of the TUDOR Pro Cycling team. The distinctive square ‘Snowflake’ clocks and hands are made of a luminescent ceramic composite for optimal legibility in challenging conditions. Around the dial is a recalibrated tachymeter scale, the inner ring of which focuses on the cyclist's speed. The watch is adorned with a 22 mm solid black Jacquard woven technical fabric one-piece strap and a traditional buckle. The in-house caliber MT5813 displays hours, minutes, seconds, chronograph and date functions. It also has the matte finish and features a signature monobloc tungsten rotor and a weekend-proof 70-hour power reserve.

GAME OF THRONES IN BARCELONA Jedriličarski spektakl je opet u Europi, gdje će pet izazivača na ultramodernim foiling jednotrupcima AC75 pokušati prekinuti novozelandsku dominaciju

The sailing circus is back in Europe, where five challengers on ultra-modern AC75 foiling mono-hulls will try to end the dominance of Team New Zealand

Stara izreka kaže kako tradicije postoje da bi se rušile. Najstarije jedriličarsko (ujedno i sportsko natjecanje) prvi se put neće jedriti u zemlji pobjednika. 37. izdanje America's Cupa održat će se u Barceloni od kolovoza do listopada 2024., a prati ga i paralelna regata mladih i ženskih posada.

Organizatora regate odlučili su neki drugi (čitajte) komercijalni razlozi, tako da će nakon 2007. i Valencije regata America's Cupa drugi put u povijest biti organizirana u europskim vodama.

To ne znači ništa loše, dapače, atraktivnost Barcelone kao destinacije jamči spektakl na moru, a i broj gledatelja sigurno će premašiti dosadašnje brojke.

You know how they say: traditions are only there to broken. The oldest sailing (and sporting) competition in the world will for the first time in its history not be ghosted by the previous winner's home country. The 37th edition of the America's Cup will be held in Barcelona, from August to October 2024, as will its companion events, the young crews and female crews competitions.

The host was selected for reasons other than athletic (aka, commercial), and so after Valencia 2007, the America's Cup will for the second time in history be hosted by

a European country. This is by no means bad – on the contrary, the appeal of Barcelona as a destination almost guarantees the success of the event, as it guarantees a higher number of spectators than last time.

Competing in the 37th America’s Cup, alongside the defending champion Team Emirates New Zealand, will be teams the British Ineos Britannia as the official challenger, Italian team Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli, and American team NYYC American Magic, as well as two new participants – Swiss team Alinghi Red Bull Racing and French

Na dizajnu jedrilica radili su momčadi iz Formule 1, najbolji navalni arhitekti, zrakoplovni inženjeri i umjetna inteligencija

Formula 1 teams, top naval architects, aeronautical engineers and AI all joined forces on the design of the sailboats

Sve momčadi predstavile su svoje adute, a njihove prave performanse vidjet ćemo na regatnom polju All teams have shown their impressive cards, but the true test will, of course, be their performance in the race

Na startu 37. izdanja, uz branitelja naslova Team Emirates New Zealand, naći se britanski Ineos Britannia kao službeni izazivač, a talijanska Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli i američki NYYC American Magic te dva nova sudionika – švicarski Alinghi Red Bull Racing i francuski Orient Express Team. Kormilarske pozicije zauzima crème de la crème svjetskog jedrenja, kao što su Peter Burling, Tom Slingsby, Jimmy Spithill, Ben Ainslie i mnogi drugi.

Jedrit će se na izmijenjenoj verziji foiling jednotrupca AC75 čije su karbonske linije postale zategnutije i aerodinamičnije, a površinom veći foilovi omogućit će znatno brže dizanje i letenje nad valovima.

Prema simulacijama, ovi jedriličarski 'top gunovi' trebali bi letjeti četiri puta brže od brzine vjetra. Priznat ćete, jako impresivno za zvijeri dulje od 20 metara i teške oko 6,5 tona.

Broj članova posade smanjen je s 11 na osam, a novost je i povratak 'biciklista' koji će pedaliranjem 'hraniti' sve sustave na jedrilicama.

Zanimljivo je kako će na tim pozicijama većinom biti ljudi koji nemaju iskustva s jedrenjem. Riječ je mahom o biciklistima, veslačima, sudionicima natjecanja Iron Man… Dizajnerski izazovi i financijski budžeti bili su golemi jer svaki tim može predstaviti samo jedan brod za natjecanje. Uz angažman momčadi iz Formule 1 (Red Bull i Mercedes), najbolje navalne arhitekte, CFD i zrakoplovne inženjere, jedrare i umjetnu inteligenciju sigurni smo da nas čeka najnapredniji America's Cup u povijesti.

team Orient Express. At their helms, the crème de la crème of international sailing: Peter Burling, Tom Slingsby, Jimmy Spithill, Ben Ainslie.

The crews will sail on a modified version of the AC75 foiling mono-hull, whose carbon body has become tighter and more aerodynamic, and whose foils have grown, all of this enabling significantly faster lifting and flying over the waves. If the simulations are correct, these sailing top guns should be capable of flying four times faster than the wind speed – pretty impressive for beasts longer than 20 meters and weighing around 6.5 tons.

Crews have been cur from 11 to eight, with the return of the 'cyclist' who will 'feed' all the systems on the sailboats by pedaling. Interestingly, this position can be held by a person with zero sailing experience – most crews have chosen professional cyclists, rowers, Iron Man competitors… you know the type.

All crews were faced with huge design and budget challenges, as every team is only allowed one hull. With a little help from Formula 1 teams (Red Bull and Mercedes), the best naval architects of the moment, CFD and aeronautical engineers, athletes, as well as artificial intelligence, this Cup is most certainly going to be a historic event. We will see how successful all of them have been at the test regatta in Barcelona mid-August, just before the beginning of the Louis Vuitton Cup, which will

Dvostruki osvajač America's Cupa, Alinghi, vratio se nakon gotovo 15 godina izbivanja

Two-time America's Cup winner Alinghi is back after almost 15 years of absence

Koliko je sva ta pamet bila uspješna vidjet ćemo tek na testnoj regati u Barceloni koja će se jedriti sredinom kolovoza uoči početka Louis Vuitton Cupa, natjecanja koje će tijekom tri kruga regatavanja iskristalizirati posadu koja će izazvati Novi Zeland u velikom finalu.

37. izdanje America's Cupa bit će posebno još po jednoj stvari.

Po uzoru na serijal o Formuli 1: Drive to Survive najavljena je dokumentarna serija koja će u nekoliko nastavaka dočarati svu dramu i ljepotu jedrenja s brojnim kadrovima iza kulisa ovog prestižnog natjecanja.

A kao ugrijavanje za Barcelonu pogledajte dokumentarac 'Neispričana priča: Regata stoljeća' o 25. izdanju America's Cupa kada je Australia II prekinula 132 godine dugu dominaciju New York Yacht Cluba. John Bertrand protiv Dennisa Connera, David protiv Golijata. Jednostavno – poezija jedrenja…

S obzirom na blizinu Barcelone, preporučujemo vam da tijekom jeseni uživo pogledate regatu America's Cupa. Jer u pitanju je prava sportska poslastica koja se od 1851. godine jedri uz slogan ‘There is no second’.

The 37th edition of the America's Cup will be special in another way. After the great success of ‘Formula 1: Drive to Survive’, a documentary series about the Cup has been announced, bringing to the screen all the drama and all beauty of sailing and this prestigious competition over several episodes, with plenty of behind the scenes footage.

Finally, as a warm-up for Barcelona, watch the documentary ‘Untold: The Race of the Century’, the story of the 25th America's Cup, where tea, Australia II ended the 132-year dominance of the New York Yacht Club. John Bertrand vs. Dennis Conner, David vs. Goliath. The simple poetry of sailing.

Seeing how Barcelona is quite close geographically, if you can, make sure you go watch at least one America's Cup race in person. This is a real sporting treat, and will confirm why the Cup has since 1851 been known as the race with no second place.

Organizacija gospodarskog događanja sama je po sebi zahtjevna, a posebno kada ima ambiciju postati najveće takvo okupljanje u Hrvatskoj.

A već u svom prvom izdanju okuplja elitu hrvatskih gospodarstvenika, tada nema dvojbe da je osnivač takvog projekta jedna posebna osoba

Organising a business event is demanding enough even when its aim isn’t to become the largest meeting of its type in Croatia, and with the most renowned business people attending the event, there is no doubt that the organiser is someone special

Maja Borovina Frankić ima strateški cilj – prezentiranja Hrvatske prema stranim investitorima i povezivanja nacionalne i regionalne gospodarske scene – koji provodi u djelo poput iskusnog lisca, uspješno slažući kockice prvorazrednog gospodarskog okupljanja. Na pitanje odakle je došla vizija za tako ambiciozan projekt, kaže: 'Kad su jednog umjetnika upitali gdje nalazi inspiraciju za svoje slike, on im je kazao: 'Ja inspiraciju ne nalazim, ja sam to sve već sanjao.' Tako sam i ja sanjala Masters of Building Fair. Od prvoga dana kad sam se odlučila organizirati jedno takvo događanje, ja ga sanjam i nije ni dan prošao da nisam o njemu razmišljala. Moja je želja da svi oni koji se uključe i svi koji dođu na Masters of Building Fair, prvenstveno misleći na poduzetnike, osjete jedan snažan impuls. Znate kako kažu: 'Kad ideš raditi velike stvari, onda idi udvoje.' Znači, što nas je više, to smo snažniji i dajemo pravu sliku našeg gospodarstva. Cilj mi je da svatko tko dođe da se osjeća prvi među jednakima. Želimo stvoriti nešto više i dati jedan iskorak našem tržištu.

Jedino kad postoji strukturirano i strateško okupljanje bitnih ljudi, može se stvoriti potencijal interesa stranih tržišta. Uporno ponavljam da se ozbiljnog investitora u Hrvatskoj trenutno može pozvati jedino na ručak, a Hrvatska nije zemlja u kojoj su najveći događaji samo oni koji pozivaju na zabavu.'

MOŽETE LI MALO DETALJNIJE OPISATI VAŠE DOGAĐANJE? Svi misle da se Masters of Building Fair odnosi isključivo na graditeljstvo, ali pojam Building odnosi se na one koji grade gospodarstvo, misli se na snažni poduzetnički impuls. Automatski sam razmišljala nekoliko koraka unaprijed: da u jednom predivnom Rovinju oformimo događanje koje mogu prepoznati ljudi iz drugi europskih i daljih tržišta koji su zainteresirani investitori. Zašto ne bismo imali jedan renomirani događaj koji je interesantan inozemnim potencijalnim partnerima. Ne trebamo mi stalno ići na strane sajmove, već oni mogu doći i u Rovinj. Također, mislim da definitivno treba odmah govoriti o nekom regionalnom nivou.

VEĆ DUGO OZBILJNO RADITE NA ORGANIZACIJI. KAD STE POČELI? Počeli smo u siječnju 2023. godine. Bila sam svjesna od prvog trenutka da ako uzmem za svaki segment organizacije vanjske partnere, znači firme koje to ozbiljno i etablirano rade, na takav način jačam i svoj organizacijski potencijal. Što je verzija koja je definitivno skuplja, ali jedino se tako mogu raditi ovakve high-profile stvari velikih razmjera. Napravila sam analizu tko i što mi sve treba. Međutim, znala sam što želim i činila sam korake kako doći do toga, a ako imate poslovnog iskustva, onda možete prepoznati kvalitetu.

Maja Borovina Frankić has one strategic objective: presenting Croatia to foreign investors and bringing together national and regional economic actors. Her execution of putting together the pieces of this A-list business event has been exceptional. When asked what her inspiration for the event was, she replied: ‘When an artist was asked where he finds the inspiration for his painting, he replied: I don't find inspiration, I’ve already dreamt the entire thing.’ The same thing happened with me; I dreamt the Masters of Building Fair. Ever since I decided to organise such an event, I have been dreaming about it non-stop. My wish is for everyone joining and visiting the Masters of Building Fair, and by that, I mean primarily entrepreneurs, to feel an impulse. You know how they say: ‘Good things come in pairs’?

So, the more of us there are, the stronger we get and the more accurate the portrayal of our economy is. My goal is for everyone to feel as the first among equals. We strive for something great and making a breakthrough in the market. The only way to create potential interest from foreign markets is by strategically bringing together a who’s who of the industry. I keep saying that the only place you can invite a serious investor in Croatia at the moment is to lunch, and Croatia is not a country where the biggest events are party invitations.’

CAN YOU DESCRIBE YOUR EVENT IN A LITTLE MORE DETAIL? It’s a misconception that the Masters of Building Fair refers only to the construction industry, the term ‘building’ is actually about everyone building the economy, with a strong entrepreneurial drive. I automatically thought several steps ahead: organising an event in Rovinj that can be recognised by parties from other European markets and beyond interested in making an investment. Why wouldn’t there be a world-class event in Croatia that potential foreign partners are interested in? We don't need to visit fairs abroad all the time, people from abroad can come to Rovinj as well. I also believe that we definitely need to discuss a regional option right from the start.

YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THE EVENT’S ORGANISATION FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. WHEN DID YOU START? We started in January 2023. Right from the start, I knew that my organisation potential would grow if I contracted external partners for every step of the way, or rather well-known companies that do serious work. That is definitely a more costly option, but it’s the only way to do these high-profile events on a large scale. I did an analysis of the factors and persons I would

TKO SADA ČINI VAŠ TIM? Prva osoba koja je uz mene sto posto, uz bok, to je Matea Jerić Ćurković iz President grupe, a vlasnica je i renomirane agencije Perfecta Travel, koja je od samog početka prepoznala moje snove, podržava me i sa mnom upravlja projektom. Imamo agenciju koja radi event menadžment i marketing. To je Alert – Lana Bedeković Rosandić i cijeli njezin tim. Priželjkivala sam da oni rade ovaj događaj zato što mislim da, po svom iskustvu i tipu događanja koje su radili do sada, imaju nešto što želim donijeti ovom poslovnom događaju, eleganciju i entertainment višeg nivoa, da cijeli dojam projekta ima jednu toplinu, odnosno da ne bude isključivo poslovno, kruto okruženje. Nakon toga imamo i agenciju Vajt, Jerka Trogrlića, i već smo potpisali ugovor sa Zvona Catering, koji su premium catering u Hrvatskoj. Mislila sam da ću sve moći sama s vanjskim suradnicima ishendlati, ali i nas nekoliko 'in house' ima posla preko glave.

A TKO DOLAZI NA SAJAM? Od prvog dana sam znala da želim događanje gdje će se pod jednim krovom naći svi oni koji djeluju u investicijsko-dobavljačkom lancu. Isto tako sam znala, s obzirom na veličinu tržišta, da moram sve svesti na jedno mjesto, i po vertikali i horizontali. To znači od ustanova, institucija, pa do realnog

require. I also knew what I wanted and took action to make it happen. If you have business experience, you are able to recognize quality.

WHO IS ON YOUR TEAM NOW? The first person that’s with me 100 percent is President Group’s Matea Jerić Ćurković, owner of Perfecta Travel, which is a renowned agency. She has been there from the beginning, recognising my dreams, supporting me and co-managing the project. There’s also the event management and marketing agency, Alert, run by Lana Bedeković Rosandić and her team.

I had been wanting them to work on the event because, based on their previous experience, I believe they have something I want to bring to this business event, a next-level elegance and entertainment, with a sense of warmth to the event instead of a plain old business affair. Then there's Jerko Trogrlić’s Vajt agency, and we’ve already booked Zvona Catering, a premium Croatian caterer. I was convinced that I would be able to outsource and handle everything on my own, but even a few of us working in house are in way over our heads.

AND WHO WILL BE ATTENDING THE FAIR? From day one, I knew that I wanted an event bringing under one roof everyone involved in the investment and supply chains. I also knew, given

sektora, zapravo svi oni koji pripadaju tom lancu. Radi se o investitorima raznih tipova, privatnih i javnih. Tu su i svi koji slijede u tom lancu – od arhitekata, građevinske operative, proizvođača i trgovaca materijala, alata, opreme, financijskih usluga, usluga osiguranja, do konzultanata svih usmjerenja, ekonomskih, pravnih, tehničkih, energetike, tehnologije, te IT sektor. Na tržištu je to iznimno isprepleteno i naizgled kad kažete da na jedno mjesto dolazi građevinska firma, firma koja nudi IT uslugu ili netko tko se bavi trgovinom prehrambenih proizvoda, čak bih rekla i trgovinom nakita, zapitate se što ti ljudi rade na jednom mjestu. Međutim, oni su nevjerojatno povezani, a ono što ih veže jest to što su jako važni u svojim industrijama i svi imaju segment da su povezani investicijama, tako da su oni investitori ili da su u nekom segmentu lanca koji investitori koriste.

JOŠ NE BISTE O BROJKAMA? Ako pričamo o tome koliko ih ima, mogu samo reći da već imamo termin za 2025. Da ja želim da tamo dođe 5000 ljudi, stavila bih kotizaciju 20 eura i mi bismo to napunili. Međutim, nama nije cilj imati šetače, cilj je da je svatko tko prođe na tom događanju bitan. Ako govorimo o biznisu, treba doći na okupljanje gdje je velika vjerojatnost da će vam svaki razgovor biti produktivan. Ljudi i kompanije dolaze zato da bi imali jedan dobar i pozitivan utjecaj na svoj posao. Ako ćemo pričati o brojkama, one mogu stvoriti lažan dojam koliko je neko događanje bitno. Po cijeni i po svemu ostalome smo se profilirali kao nešto što je za one koji su ozbiljni i dolaze biti među istim takvima. Jako mi je bitna kvaliteta i usmjereni smo isključivo na donositelje odluka.

PRIJE OVOGA NAPRAVILI STE VAŽAN KORAK U SMJERU PREDSTAVLJANJA HRVATSKE U VAŠEM SEKTORU OSMIŠLJAVANJEM PLATFORME BUILDING.HR? To je bio prvi korak cijelog mog putovanja. Radeći u obiteljskoj tvrtki SPEGRA različite vrste poslova, u jednom trenutku sam radila nabavu. Po prirodi volim biti što učinkovitija u što kraćem roku i onda sam shvatila da nevjerojatno puno vremena trošim kako bih saznala informaciju gdje tko radi i što radi. Tada je još bilo puno manje podataka na internetu i ako tome pridodamo da je većina podataka na internetu donekle netočna, zaključila sam da treba napraviti sustav u kojem će se svaka kompanija registrirati s ispravnim podacima, da takav sustav treba biti automatiziran, da nema nikakvih manipulacija, da je omogućeno idealno 'matchiranje' ponude i potražnje, isključivo za B2B sektor. Razvila sam platformu i 2022. smo izišli na tržište, i imali smo već u prvoj godini jako dobar odgovor.

Firme su prepoznale da im to treba, a kako su i kompanije i tržišta živi organizmi, mijenjaju se, dodaju usluge, mijenjaju brendove ili lokacije na kojima rade, to je nemoguće pratiti ako nemate alat za to. Building. hr je digitalni alat, odnosno digitalni epicentar investicijsko-dobavljačkog lanca, i sljedeći korak nam je bio etablirati događanje. Upravo s jednom digitalnom bazom i jednim okupljanjem kao što je Masters of Building Fair stvaramo i poziciju za konzumiranje naših interesa na ovom tržištu i u regiji, ali stvaramo i 'one stop' odredište za sve investitore iz inozemstva koji su zainteresirani za naše tržište i regiju.

the market size, that every relevant person from each segment needed to be involved, from institutions to the real sector, everyone from the chain.

These are various investors, public and private. They are followed by other stakeholders: from architects, construction workers, to businesses producing and selling materials, tools, equipment, financial services, insurance, to consulting services of all sorts, as well as stakeholders from the areas of economy, law, engineering, energy, technology, and the IT sector. These professions are extremely interwoven in the market, and sometimes a single company does construction work, IT and is a food retailer, or even sells jewellery, you can’t help but wonder why these people are in one place. However, they are deeply interconnected by the fact that they are extremely important in their respective industry and connected to institutions by being investors or by being a link in the chain the investors use.

YOU AREN’T READY TO TALK NUMBERS? If by that you mean the number of attendees, I can tell you that we already have a 2025 date. If I wanted 5000 people, I would charge them €20 and we would have a full house. However, we don’t want just passers-by, but truly relevant actors. If we’re talking business, you need to attend events where it’s highly likely that every conversation you have is a productive one. People and companies visiting leave a good and positive impression on their work.

When talking numbers, they can create a false impression of how relevant an event is. Thanks to our price and all other important aspects, we have established ourselves as a serious event for serious people. I care deeply about quality and we're focused solely on decision makers.

YOU MADE AN IMPORTANT STEP BEFORE THIS BY PRESENTING CROATIA TO YOUR INDUSTRY BY CREATING THE BUILDING.HR PLATFORM? That was the first step in my journey. The various jobs I did at my family’s company, SPEGRA, also included procurement. As I like to be as efficient as possible, I realised that I was losing an incredible amount of time just to find out a company’s location and area of business. There was substantially fewer information online at the time, and combined with the fact that most online data are incorrect to a degree, I realised that we needed to make a system for each company to register with correct information, which needed to be automatic, without any possibility of manipulation, enabling the ideal matching of demand and supply exclusively for the B2B sector. I built the platform and we were on the market in 2022, with a really good response already in the first year. Businesses realised that that was what they needed, and as companies and markets are living organisms that rebrand or change locations, it’s impossible to keep track of this without a proper tool. Building.hr is a digital tool, or better yet, a digital epicentre of the investment and supply chains, and out next step was to create an event. Pairing a digital base with an event such as the Masters of Building Fair means that we are creating a position for consuming our interests in the market and the region, but also making a one-stop destination for all investors from abroad that are interested in our market and the region.

Ljeto u boci Summer in a Bottle CHANDON GARDEN SPRITZ

Chandon Garden Spritz, nova generacija spritza, nastao je kao spoj nagrađivanog Chandon Brut pjenušca i likera od kore naranče.

Rezultat je rada stručnjaka iz vinarije Chandon u Argentini, koji su preko četiri godine radili na idealnoj recepturi. Chandon pjenušac dobiva se od grožđa iz visinskih vinograda Mendoze. Za liker od kore naranče koriste se isključivo naranče s lokalne, održive, obiteljske farme, čija kora ne sadrži ostatke pesticida. Kora se ručno guli, zatim suši, te sporo maceri-

ra s pomno odabranim najboljim začinima svijeta. U proizvodnji se ne koriste nikakvi umjetni okusi ili bojila, a sadrži čak 50 posto manje šećera od ostalih spritzeva na tržištu. Rezultat je savršena ravnoteža slatkoće i gorčine i osvježenje koje vas svakim gutljajem podsjeća na ljeto. Odmah je spreman za konzumaciju, napravljen od najboljih sastojaka, uvijek iste vrhunske kvalitete i prirodnog okusa. Idealan kao aperitiv ili poslijepodnevno druženje, Chandon Garden Spritz oduševit će sve ljubitelje spritzeva.

The Chandon Garden Spritz, a new generation of spritz, is a combination of the award-winning Chandon Brut sparkling wine and orange peel liqueur. It was created by a team of experts from Argentina’s Chandon winery who spent four years testing recipes. The Chandon sparkling wine is made from grapes from the estate near Mendoza. The orange liqueur is made from hand-picked oranges from a sustainable family farm that doesn’t contain any pesticide traces. Oranges are peeled by hand, dried and then macerated, fol-

lowed by a selection of the world’s finest herbs. No artificial flavors or colors are added and it has 50 percent less sugar than other spritzes on the market. The resulting unique balance of bitter and sweet evokes the spirit of summer with every refreshing sip. Ready to serve, it’s made using the finest ingredients, maintaining the same level of quality and taste, while being no less than naturally delicious. Perfect for aperitif moments or afternoon drinks, the Chandon Garden Spritz is sure to delight all Spritz lovers.

Upravo tada njegovu viziju nastavili su razvijati njegovi sinovi, kreirajući danas prepoznatljivi brend Prahir Fine Jewellery, koji je jedan od vodećih proizvođača nakita u Hrvatskoj, a iznimnu ekspanziju bilježi u više od 10 europskih država kao vodeći izvoznik vjenčanog i zaručničkog prstenja. Snaga obiteljske tvrtke očitava se u stručnim, zadovoljnim i posvećenim zaposlenicima koji se u proizvodnji vode modernim dizajnom i inovativnim tehnologijama kako bi stvorili proizvode dugoročne kvalitete i suvremenog dizajna. Tajna istinske ljepote i izvrsnosti Prahir nakita skrivena je u velikoj ljubavi i strastvenoj posvećenosti detaljima koji, uz jednostavnost i eleganciju, vode kreiranju prepoznatljivih proizvoda i samog brenda Prahir Fine Jewellery.

Klimatske ugode otoka neosporno su bile konzumirane još u antici, a sredinom 19. stoljeća pojavile su se i prve konture organiziranog biznisa u njihovoj eksploataciji. Ekspedicijom cara Franje Josipa po Dalmaciji, u koju je bio uključen i Rab, pokreću se nove stvari. Europski kulturo-

loško-zdravstveni turizam otkrio je novu potencijalnu destinaciju i austrougarski je kapital počeo istraživati mogućnosti investiranja na otoku, a formalno je desetak godina nakon toga, točnije 16. svibnja 1889. godine, Općinsko vijeće donijelo pravomoćnu odluku da se započne s organiziranim turizmom na otoku. Rečena je odluka obilato rodila plodom, zasijani su mnogi hoteli i apartmani, uređene plaže i otvorene brojne gostionice i restorani, a Rab je ponosan dobio epitet – jadranski biser.

Geographical location on the point of contact between the Mediterranean and sub-Mediterranean region, the island of Rab has always boasted mild summers and winters, a warm sea and air rich in healthy aerosols.

The benefits of the island's favourable climate were undoubtedly reaped even in antiquity, while the first traces of organised approach to this go back to the mid-19th century. Emperor Franz Joseph's expedition to Dalmatia involved Rab, and this set the whole thing in motion. European cul-

tural and health tourism discovered a new potential destination, so the Austro-Hungarian capital began to explore the possibilities of investing in the island. Ten years later, on May 16, 1889, the matter was formalised when the Municipal Council made a final decision to start organised tourism on the island. Many hotels and apartments were opened, beaches were established and numerous inns and restaurants, leading to Rab getting the name it proudly wears today – the pearl of the Adriatic.

Autentičnost utkana u svaki komad nakita Authenticity Embedded in Every Piece Z L ATA R N A D O D I Ć U svijetu gdje se istinska vrijednost često izgubi u sjaju, Zlatarna Dodić vraća u fokus autentičnost, stručnost i posvećenost svome zanatu. Ljubav prema stvaranju vrhunskog nakita oduvijek je bila tu, a zahvaljujući radu, trudu i dobroj poslovnoj intuiciji, tradicija obitelji Dodić traje već više od 50 godina. Stručnost, preciznost, strast i kvaliteta temeljne su vrijednosti utkane u svaki komad nakita koji proizvode u majstorskoj radioni u Zagrebu, a znanje je njihova najveća vrijednost. Svaki komad Dodić nakita sa sobom nosi emociju i priču koje obilježavaju važne životne prekretnice – od zaruka do vjenčanja, krštenja, rođendana i obljetnica.

Potpis Dodić je izraz autentičnosti i individualnosti, a njihov trajni nakit prenosi se generacijama kao vrijedna uspomena na najdraže trenutke.

In a world where true value is often lost in the glitter, Dodić Gold Jewellery brings authenticity, craft and business dedication back into focus.

The love for creating high-quality jewellery has always been there, and thanks to work, effort and a good business intuition, the Dodić family tradition has been going strong for more than 50 years. Expertise, precision, passion and quality are the fundamental values embedded into every piece of jewellery they produce at the master workshop in Zagreb, and knowledge is their greatest asset. Each piece of Dodić jewellery carries with it an emotion and a story that marks important life milestones – from engagements to weddings, baptisms, birthdays and anniversaries. The Dodić signature is an expression of authenticity and individuality, and their long-lasting pieces are passed down through the generations as a valuable memory of the most cherished moments.

Dizajn isklesan iz mramora A Design That Comes From Marble KREOO U evoluciji kolekcije Blessed (hrv.: ‘blagoslovljen’) estetski temelji ostaju nepromijenjeni. Kolekciju koja je sad dostupna u izduljenoj ovalnoj ili četvrtastoj verziji kade i koju je dizajnirao Christophe Pillet odlikuje kontrast materijala unutarnje i vanjske površine na kojima se nalaze dvije različite vrste mramora. Rezultat je elegantna antiteza ne samo boje, nego i teksture prirodnog kamena, s različitim šarama i nijansama koje se dodiruju na gornjem rubu, tako da se postigne što tanji i upečatljiviji komad. Bianco Carrara i Bianco del Re opcije su za unutrašnji dio kade, dok se vanjski dio može personalizirati raznim vrstama mramora, travertina i poludragog kamenja.

The evolution of the Blessed collection maintains its aesthetic foundation unchanged. Now also available in a freestanding bathtub version, in elongated oval or rectangle, design by Christophe Pillet is characterized by the material contrast between the outer and inner surfaces, offered in two different types of marble. The result is an elegant antithesis, not only in colour but also in the texture of the natural stone, with different veins and nuances meeting at the top edge, to achieve a minimal and striking thickness.

Bianco Carrara and Bianco del Re are the options dedicated to the internal silhouette of the tub, while the exterior can be customized in a wide range of marbles, travertines, and semi-precious stones.

Partnerstvo za stvaranje ultimativnog zvučnika Partner to Create the Ultimate Vessel for Sound B A N G & O L U F S E N A N D R I VA

Budući da dijele povijest izvrsnog umijeća izrade i ambiciju da pruže prekrasna iskustva zvuka, Bang & Olufsen i Riva udružili su se kako bi stvorili savršen zvučnik.

Isto tako, Bang & Olufsen već je gotovo stoljeće predvodnik u segmentu luksuznog zvuka te oblikuje i preoblikuje industriju jedinstvenom kombinacijom moćnog zvuka, bezvremenskog dizajna i umijeća izrade bez premca.

Uz viseću zahodsku školjku iz nove kolekcije Meda, LAUFEN predstavlja tehnologiju tihog puštanja vode – Silent Flush. Iako zvuk vode možda nije jedan od najvažnijih kriterija pri izboru školjke, to je sigurno pokazatelj njezine kvalitete; uz dizajn, udobnost, higijenu i trajnost. Švicarski proizvođač vrhunskih kupaonica LAUFEN osmislio je metodu za znatno stišavanje zvuka puštanja vode, čime se osigurava još više diskrecije i tihih noćnih odlazaka u kupaonicu. Zahvaljujući inovativnoj tehnologiji voda se snažno pušta niz školjku spiralnom putanjom. To znači manju potrošnju vode, a povećanu higijenu u kupaonici. Snažni vrtlog vode ostavlja školjku savršeno čistom uz minimalnu potrošnju vode. Za stvaranje potrebnog vrtloga, unutrašnjost školjke bez ruba posebno je oblikovana da usmjeri vodu niz optimiziranu putanju, a iako je tehnologija Silent Flush nova, poznati dizajn WC školjke izvana je ostao nepromijenjen.

With the wall-mounted toilet of the new Meda collection, LAUFEN introduces the Silent Flush technology. Admittedly, the sound of flushing may not be one of the most important decision criteria. However, after design, comfort, hygiene, and durability, it is indicative of the quality of the toilet. LAUFEN, the Swiss manufacturer of premium bathrooms, has devised a way to significantly reduce flushing noise, ensuring even more discretion and quiet night-time trips to the bathroom. The innovative technology flushes the water powerfully yet quietly in a spiral through the toilet bowl. Water consumption is reduced, and bathroom hygiene improved. The dynamic water vortex flushes the toilet perfectly clean with as little water as possible. To create the necessary swirl of water, the interior of the rimless toilet is specially shaped to direct the water along a perfectly optimized spiral path. The use of Silent Flush does not change anything about the familiar design of the toilet on the outside.

LIFESTY LE Luksuz sa suvremenom primjenom Luxury With a Contemporary Twist LEXUS LBX

S isporukama potpuno novog LBX-a koje su već krenule, kupci su iz prve ruke doživjeli visoku razinu Lexusova luksuza u dosad najkompaktnijem modelu marke.

Od privlačnih, suvremenih linija 'Resolute Look' eksterijera automobila do dizajna, udobnosti i uređenja interijera, LBX prenosi kvalitetu 'klasa iznad' – onu kakvu biste očekivali od većeg, skupljeg modela višeg segmenta. Fokus je na stilu i osjetilnoj privlačnosti uz izbor atmosfere: Elegant, Relax, Emotion i Cool. Svaki evocira drukčiji karakter – profinjen, dinamičan, sportski – kroz opcije boja te izgled i dojam presvlaka i ukrasa. U skladu s današnjim ekološkim prioritetima, možete odabrati interijer bez kože prilagođen veganima kao alternativu taktilnoj Ultrasuede ili ekskluzivnoj L-anilin koži, materijalu koji je do sada bio ekskluzivan za Lexusovu vodeću limuzinu LS. LBX je možda kompaktne veličine, ali to ni na koji način ne umanjuje udobnost i osjećaj samopouzdanja i kontrole koje vozač osjeća za volanom – definirajućih elemenata Lexus Driving Signature koji je prioritet u svakom novom Lexusu. Vozač uživa u impresivnom pogledu, karakterističnom za SUV, s nisko postavljenom instrument pločom i širokim vjetrobranskim staklom.

U isto vrijeme, položaj sjedenja više sliči na limuzinu, s osjećajem kontrole usmjerene na vozača. Glatko i intuitivno korisničko iskustvo također pruža multimedijski sustav Lexus Link Connect, kojim se upravlja putem središnjeg 9,8-inčnog zaslona osjetljivog na dodir ili sustava glasovne kontrole koji može odgovoriti na zahtjeve u više razgovornom stilu. Utjecaj Lexusove Takumi izrade i tradicionalne japanske estetike također je vidljiv u novim Tsuyasumi ukrasnim umetcima u boji ugljena i u opciji šavova presvlaka u Tatami stilu.

Novi Lexus LBX možete testirati u Lexus salonu u Zagrebu.

With deliveries of the all-new LBX under way, customers are experiencing first-hand the high level of Lexus luxury in the brand’s most compact model yet. From the appealing, contemporary lines of the car’s 'Resolute Look' exterior to the design, comfort and appointments of the interior, the LBX communicates a 'class above' quality – the kind you would expect from a larger, more expensive higher segment model. There is a focus on style and sensory appeal with a choice of Atmospheres: Elegant, Relax, Emotion and Cool. Each evokes a different character – refined, dynamic, sporty – through colour options and look and feel of upholsteries and trims. In tune with today’s environmental priorities, you can specify a vegan-friendly leather-free interior as an alternative to tactile Ultrasuede or exclusive L-aniline leather, a material that until now has been exclusive to Lexus flagship LS limousine. The LBX may be compact in size, but this in no way diminishes the comfort and sense of confidence and control the driver feels behind the wheel – the defining elements of the Lexus Driving Signature that’s prioritised in every new Lexus. The driver enjoys both a commanding view, characteristic of an SUV, with a lowset instrument panel and wide windscreen.

At the same time, the seating position feels more like a sedan, with a driver focused control feel. A smooth and intuitive user experience is also provided by the Lexus Link Connect multimedia system, operated via a central 9.8-inch touchscreen or a voice control system that’s able to respond to requests in more conversational style.

The influence of Lexus’ Takumi craftsmanship and traditional Japanese aesthetics are also evident in the new charcoal-finish Tsuyasumi trim inlays and in the Tatami-style upholstery stitching option. You can test drive the new Lexus LBX at the Lexus showroom in Zagreb.

Prošlo je 90 godina od objave knjige 'Ubojstvo u Orient Expressu', koju je napisala Agatha Christie, a redatelj Sidney Lumet prema njoj je 1974. snimio istoimeni film. Najpoznatijeg putnika u vlaku, belgijskog inspektora Herculea Poirota, glumio je Albert Finney. Najluksuzniji vlak na svijetu bio je intrigantna kulisa i u filmu 'Iz Rusije s ljubavlju': Sean Connery u ulozi Jamesa Bonda u Istanbulu se ukrcava u vlak koji je u to vrijeme prolazio i kroz Jugoslaviju, te se zaustavlja u Beogradu i Zagrebu. Gotovo četiri desetljeća kasnije francuska glumica Audrey Tautou u reklami za parfem Chanel No 5. Orient Expressom putuje u Istanbul, do stare željezničke stanice u blizini hotela Pera Palace, u kojem je boravila i Agatha Christie dok je pisala svoj najpoznatiji krimić. Navodno ju je inspirirao događaj iz 1929., kada je spavaći vagon 3309 čak deset dana bio zaglavljen u snijegu.

I premda su moderna vremena i tehnološki napredak donijeli mnoge promjene u načine putovanja, vožnja vlakom zadržala je svoju privlačnost, osobito ako se vozite u otmjenom Orient Expressu. Taj kultni vlak odnedavno je opet u pogonu, kao i u svoje zlatno doba vozi od Venecije do Londona, od Pariza do Istanbula, od Budimpešte i Beča do Pariza, te kroz još nekoliko europskih gradova. Temeljito ga je obnovila kompanija Belmond i nazvala ga je Venice Simplon Orient Express. Ovisno o udaljenosti gradova, jedna noć u luksuzno uređenoj kabini za dvoje kreće se od 3450 eura na više po osobi, dok smještaj u Grand Suiteu košta 9800 eura po osobi. U tu cijenu uključeni su doručak, ručak od tri slijeda, večera od četiri slijeda – u izvedbi chefa Jeana Imberta, šampanjac i privatni stjuard čija je misija da gostu pruži kraljevski tretman.

Od vijugavih planinskih dolina Austrije, valovitih brežuljaka Toskane ili blistavih vinograda istočne Francuske, Venice Simplon Orient Express polazi danju, a na odredište stiže drugi dan. Nerijetko na usputnim postajama osoblje vlaka preuzme pošiljku svježih jastoga iz Bretanje ili janjetine iz Normandije, jer u skladu s gastronomskim konceptom, sva hrana mora biti svježa i lokalnog porijekla. Jednom godišnje u ponudi je i superluksuzno putovanje od Pariza do Istanbula u trajanju od pet dana, čija cijena po osobi u kabini za dvoje iznosi 17.500 funti, odnosno 38.000 funti po osobi u apartmanu.

Orient Express simbol je autentičnog luksuza i dekadencije od prve godine postojanja. Servis je 1883. uspostavio belgijski biznismen Georges Nagelmackers, koji je nadahnut putovanjem željeznicom po Americi odlučio napraviti najluksuzniji vlak na svijetu. Ruta je spajala centralnu i istočnu Europu, desetljećima su se u njegovim vagonima odvijale uzbudljive priče i susreti, a među slavnim putnicima bili su književnik Lav Tolstoj, glumica Marlene Dietrich, Lawrence od Arabije, kraljevi, špijuni... Čarolija zvana Orient Express okončana je 1977., no James Sherwood, tadašnji vlasnik hotela Cipriani u Veneciji, odlučio ga je vratiti na tračnice. Na aukciji u Monte Carlu kupio je dva originalna vagona, potom je pronašao i ostale pa je od 1982. vlak vozio od Züricha do Istanbula. Nekoliko je tjedana bio dom pop-zvijezdi Michaelu Jacksonu za vrijeme njegove europske turneje, da bi mu se 2009. izgubio trag.

Tek 2015. pronašao ga je Arthur Mettetal, istraživač specijaliziran za industrijsku povijest. Na opće iznenađenje, vlak je stajao na izoliranom ranžirnom području, usred stepe, na granici između Bjelorusije i Poljske. Unatoč činjenici da su ga deset godina na otvorenom šibali vjetrovi, snjegovi i kiše, iznutra je bio dobro očuvan. Neoštećene su bile legendarne stolne lampe u obliku tulipana i stakleni paneli s kosovima i grožđem, što ih je dizajnirao francuski umjetnik stakla Rene Lalique. Nakon dvije godine pregovora vlasnik vlaka pristao ga je ustupiti grupaciji Belmond. Restauracija je povjerena renomiranom arhitektu Maximeu d’Angeacu, koji je uz pomoć najboljih francuskih zanatlija reinterpretirao dekor starog Orient Expressa i vratio mu sjaj najluksuznijeg vlaka na svijetu. Čuveni spavaći vagoni 3309 i 3425 postali su tako Grand Suites, ukupno ih je šest, a nazvani su prema gradovima kroz koje vlak prolazi.

Grupacija Belmond nedavno je predstavila i L’Observatoire, ekskluzivni spavaći vagon koji će se iduće godine priključiti kompoziciji vlaka. Dizajnira ga francuski umjetnik JR (Jean-Rene), a ako je suditi prema najavama mnoštva skrivenih, ručno rađenih detalja, u svijet putovanja stiže nova dimenzija luksuza na tračnicama.

LJETO SUMMER 2024

It’s been 90 years since Agatha Christie’s 'Murder on the Orient Express’ was published, and 50 years since Sidney Lumet made a film based on it in 1974. The most famous passenger on the train, Belgian inspector Hercule Poirot, was played by Albert Finney. The world’s most luxurious train was also an intriguing backdrop in the film 'From Russia with Love': Sean Connery as James Bond in Istanbul boards the train, which also passed through Yugoslavia, with stops in Belgrade and Zagreb. Nearly four decades later, the French actress Audrey Tatou travels to Istanbul on the Orient Express in an ad for Chanel No 5. She reaches the old railway station near the Pera Palace Hotel, where Agatha Christie also stayed when she wrote her most famous crime novel. She was allegedly inspired by an event when the sleeping car 3309 was marooned in a snowdrift for 10 days in 1929.

And while modern times and technological progress have caused many things to change in the way we travel, travelling by train has kept its appeal, especially if you’re abroad the elegant Orient Express. The iconic train is back in business, taking travellers like in it did in the golden age of travel, from Venice to London, from Paris to Istanbul, from Budapest and Vienna to Paris, and to several other European cities. It was thoroughly restored by Belmond and is called the Venice Simplon Orient Express.

Depending on the distance between cities, a single night at the luxury Twin Cabin starts at €3450 per person, while the Grand Suite costs €9800 and up per person. The price includes breakfast, three-course lunch, four-course dinner prepared by Chef Jean Imbert, champagne and a private steward who is meant to treat guests as royalty.

From the winding mountain valleys of Austria to the wavy hills of Tuscany or the sparkling vineyards of Eastern France. Venice Simplon Orient Express leaves the station during the day and reaches its destination on the next day. The staff often takes a delivery of fresh lobsters from Bretagne or lamb from Normandy while making stops along the way because, in line with the culinary philosophy, everything needs to be fresh and locally sourced. Once a year, guests get a chance to experience the super-luxury, five-day journey from Paris to Istanbul, starting at £17,500 per person in a Twin Cabin, or £38,000 per person in a Suite.

The Orient Express has been the symbol of authentic luxury and decadence from its very first year. The inaugural journey was made in 1883 thanks to businessman Georges Nagelmackers. Inspired by U.S. railroads, he decided to build the world’s most luxurious train. The route connected the entire Central and Eastern Europe, with exciting stories and meetings taking place aboard. Some of the famous passengers include writer Leo Tolstoy, actress Marlene Dietrich, Lawrence of Arabia, kings, spies...

The Orient Express magic ended in 1977, but James Sherwood, owner of Venice's Cipriani hotel at the time, embarked on a mission to bring the train back to life. Starting with two original carriages bought at auction in Monte Carlo, he went on to track down lost carriages and the train was relaunched in 1982, taking passengers from Zürich to Istanbul. After being home to Michael Jackson on his European tour for several weeks, the train disappeared in 2009.

It was only in 2015 that it was found by Arthur Mettetal, a researcher specialising in industrial history. To everyone’s surprise, the cars were found parked up at a station on the border between Poland and Belarus.

Although exposed to the wind, snow and rain for more than ten years, the interior was not damaged. The legendary French tulip shade lamps and glass panels with blackbirds and grapes, designed by French artist René Lalique, were intact. After two years of talks, the train’s owner agreed to sell it to the Belmond Group. The carriages were renovated by Parisian architect Maxime d’Angeac, who partnered with France’s best craftsmen to reinterpret the old Orient Express decor and bring it back to glory as the world's most luxurious train. The famous 3309 and 3425 cars were turned into Grand Suites. There is a total of six, named after the cities the train passes through. The Belmond Group has recently presented L’Observatoire, an entire carriage for exclusive use that will be added to the trainset next year. It was designed by the French artist JR (Jean-Rene), and judging by the announcement of a number of intricate, hand-made details, a new dimension of luxury on rails is coming to the world of travel.

TERRE BLANCHE Terre Blanche je kroz povijest bilo odmaralište plemićkih obitelji i filmskih zvijezda, koje su u brdima između Provanse i Azurne obale uživale u epicentru fantastičnog krajolika. Hotel s atmosferom opuštenog ladanjskog kluba inspiriran je izgledom provansalskih sela, u kojem čiste linije modernog dizajna žive u savršenoj harmoniji s obilnom dozom rustikalnog šarma. Dva svjetski priznata golf-terena s 18 rupa – Le Château i Le Riou, koje je osmislio golf-arhitekt Dave Thomas, maksimalno iskorištavaju potencijal slikovitih dolina, jezera, slapova i bujnih šuma. Gastronomska ponuda resorta sastoji se od pet restorana, od Le Faventie s Michelinom zvjezdicom do roštilja Le Tousco za opuštene obroke uz bazen.

Throughout history, Terre Blanche has been the resort of noble families and movie stars who enjoyed the epicenter of the fantastic landscape in the hills between Provence and the Cote d'Azur.

The hotel with its relaxed country club atmosphere is inspired by the look of the Provençal villages where the clean lines of modern design live in perfect harmony with a generous dose of rustic charm. Two world-renowned 18-hole golf courses – Le Château and Le Riou designed by golf architect Dave Thomas make the most of the potential of picturesque valleys, lakes, waterfalls and lush forests. The resort's gastronomic offer consists of five restaurants, from the Michelin-starred Le Faventie to the Le Tousco grill for relaxed meals by the pool.
