Spring Issue of Yachts Croatia Is Out Now

Spring always arrives with a certain energy, a quiet awakening of the sea, but also a clear hint of the season ahead. As nature returns to its full rhythm, so do yachts, crews, and owners, ready to rediscover that sense of freedom that exists only at sea.

In the same rhythm, the new issue of Yachts Croatia emerges, led by the striking cover yacht, CRN Amor à Vida, one of the most distinctive projects on the contemporary scene.

In our tests and reviews section, we present a range of current models shaping the season. Sunseeker 82 Ocean Enclosed and Azimut 82 Fly offer a contemporary balance between performance and onboard living, while Itama 54 stays true to its sporting DNA. Meanwhile, the Galeon 480 Fly and Apreamare Gozzo 48 Cabin demonstrate how comfort and character can coexist without excess.

A special place in this issue is reserved for superyacht features, from projects such as Feadship Project 717 and Lürssen Odisea, to new directions in design and technology that increasingly blur the line between a yacht and a private residence at sea.

Through conversations with key industry figures, we bring first-hand insights; Marco Casali, Jonas Gothberg, and Jan-Erik Viitala reveal how contemporary design is evolving, what luxury means today, and where the yachting sector is heading. 

Business topics further open a view behind the scenes - from shipyards to the after-sales segment that defines the ownership experience. Yet, no matter how far technology and design progress, the sea always brings the focus back to simpler things.

For inspiration at sea, this issue presents routes that show spring at its best - from the peaceful Pakleni Islands, before the summer crowds arrive, to the unique experience of cruising up the Krka River towards Skradin, where salt and fresh water meet in an almost unreal calm. 

The story then extends beyond the Adriatic, towards European destinations, hidden addresses and places where culture, design and enjoyment come together - routes that don’t require a precise plan, only the right moment.

In the same time, Björn Frantzén reminds us that a true experience often comes down to discipline and a sense of detail, whether on the plate or on deck.

Beyond yachting, this issue also offers a broader perspective on luxury living; fashion, timepieces, design, and contemporary trends that follow life at sea, but also beyond it.

At a time that often dictates speed, the sea reminds us that real value lies in the rhythm we choose for ourselves. And that is precisely the idea of this issue - to find a balance between movement and stillness, between performance and enjoyment.

Happy reading!
