For those of us who truly love the sea – exciting times are ahead, and with them the new issue of Yachts Croatia magazine, which brings exclusive boat tests, reports from the most beautiful Adriatic and world destinations, and a unique overview of the best lifestyle trends
Summer is back, and the air and sea temperatures are here to remind us that we are part of the Mediterranean climate, even if the spring was a bit chilly. Temperature and temperament are part of our identity, almost like an invisible spice of life, more pronounced at the coast.
We feel it while swimming in a quiet cove or yelling over each other at a local market, and it remains etched into every pore of life in its invisible ink. Interpreting it in all kinds of ways, even when it’s wrapped into a modern package deal for tourists, this invisible energy is the most obvious in summer, when everything is on fire.
That’s when we try to find a place in the shade to hide from the scorching sun, but also from other heated situations. So, what we truly wish for you this summer is an optimal sun/shade ratio, and the thing connecting them in the best way possible is the sea breeze.
However you envision your ideal days at sea, lovers of premium yachting will find their perfect match in the latest issue of Yachts Magazine. The star of this issue is the Pershing GTX70, which we were among the first in the world to test in Portorož and Venice. Beyond this new Italian GT, our summer edition of Yachts features four more tests: the Dracan 42, Apreamare Gozzo 38 Cabin, Galeon 560 Fly, and Prestige M48.
In commemoration of Lürssen’s 150th anniversary, we delve into the rich history of one of the world’s most influential shipyards. Additionally, our interview with Vladimir Zinchenko introduces the new brand GX Superyachts and its inaugural project, a 42-meter hybrid powered yacht that redefines luxury and sustainability.
Our yachting section also brings you an insightful feature on the chefs who craft exquisite gastronomic experiences aboard luxury yachts. We also suggest a serene route through the Malo More, an untouched expanse in the very south of Dalmatia, nestled between the Neretva Channel and the bays of Pelješac, which steadfastly resists mass tourism.
The lifestyle section of this issue offers a curated overview of the newest hotels along the Adriatic coast, alongside fashion and design stories that highlight refined style and contemporary aesthetics. Our spotlight shines on Chopard, a brand that has brilliantly blended tradition and modernity for decades, from dazzling jewelry gracing the Cannes red carpet to elegant timepieces inspired by the legendary Mille Miglia race. Finally, we pay homage to the white shirt, a simple yet indispensable classic of any summer wardrobe.
Furthermore, our news sections explore a wide range of nautical subjects, providing a detailed overview of recent events and trends in fields where excellence is paramount.
Dive into summer and into our world sprinkled with luxury, top quality and an overall lust for life and all it has to offer.
Happy reading!
