Ocean Sailing House: The Art of Mediterranean Yachting

In the world of nautical tourism, where the offer is often reduced to the number of vessels or the price, Ocean Sailing House have built a different approach. This family-run company follows the philosophy that charter is not just about renting a boat, but it has to be an experience that combines luxury, privacy and authentic Mediterranean lifestyle.

After years of working in the charter industry, Adriana and Jakov Bošnjak recognized a gap in the Croatian market and in 2012 decided to fill it. There was, they realized, a large offer of bareboat charter sailboats, gulets and motor yachts, but without any concept to offer the luxurious experience of navigation without having to pilot the vessel yourself. 

They found the solution in crewed catamarans, vessels offering stability, exceptional spaciousness and a sense of privacy of a seaside villa – but with the freedom to explore different destinations. Guests can sail in total comfort, while the crew takes care of all everything.

In their search for a vessel that would best support their idea, they came across the Sunreef Yachts brand. Their design philosophy, which brings together spaciousness, sophisticated interiors and top-notch craftsmanship, perfectly matched the vision of Ocean Sailing House. 

The world debut of their Sunreef 80 further confirmed that catamarans could offer a level of luxury and comfort was previously associated only with superyachts. Since then, Sunreef catamarans have become a key part of the company's identity and philosophy – a symbol of luxury at sea that combines the freedom of sailing with a sense of home.

The art of personalized experience at sea

At Ocean Sailing House, the relationship with the client begins with a detailed understanding of their expectations and lifestyle. Expert customer care specialists try to define the client’s dream vacation – whether they are looking for total privacy and seclusion, family fun, gastronomy adventure or active exploration of the destination.

Before the guests arrive, every detail is covered: technical readiness of the vessel, impeccable cleanliness, personalized food catering and all additional services. During the trip, the crew is discreet, but always available.

‘We don’t see charter as just a week renting a boat – we see it as a relationship based on trust. Our goal is not just to design a custom vacation, but to create an experience our client will remember for a lifetime’, say the specialists at Ocean Sailing House. 

Sunreef 50 Solitaire, Sunreef 60 Vulpino, Sunreef 70 Power Amber One and Sunreef 70 n+1 are synonyms for this type of cruise – a thrilling experience that makes clients return year after year.

Sunreef Yachts fleet in Croatia

The Ocean Sailing House fleet boasts 15 luxury catamarans. From the very beginning, development has been guided by the philosophy of quality, not quantity: every vessel must meet high standards in terms of technical equipment, comfort and aesthetic value. The heart of the fleet are the nine Sunreef Yachts catamarans, the pinnacle of international luxury cat market and symbol of pleasure cruising in the Adriatic. 

Models Sunreef 50, 60 and 70 are all available as sailboats or power cats. All three are very popular for their elegance, performance and an exceptional level of comfort. The fleet also counts a number of selected models of Lagoon cats, known for their modern design and functionality which makes them particularly attractive to families and guests who are entering the world of luxury charter experience for the first time.

‘Luxury is not a matter of size, the level of experience. We don’t see vessels as just a product – they are spaces where memories are made, where the feeling of being one with the sea is born.’

Croatia as the perfect destination

One of the reasons for the success of the charter industry in Croatia is the very nature of the destination. Croatia is not just a beautiful destination – it has the potential to become a global symbol of the luxury Mediterranean charter experience. The Adriatic is known for stable weather and safe, pleasurable sailing, making it the ideal environment for exploring the coast of Croatia on Sunreef Yachts catamarans. 

Calm seas and the absence of tall waves, strong currents or extreme winds allow for a relaxed and refined sailing experience along one of the most beautiful coastlines in the Mediterranean. It is precisely the appeal of this destination and the level of service that keep clients coming back year after year, on catamarans like the Sunreef 50 Zara and Sweet Dreams, and the Sunreef 60 Ahalya, Dessus and Sea Dreams. 

However, as we have learned from the Ocean Sailing House team, the future of the industry depends on raising standards and clearly positioning Croatia as a destination: ‘We don’t just sell charter – we promote the Mediterranean lifestyle’, they say. Global trends show that clients these days are looking for more than just a boat: they are looking for experiences, emotions and a custom-tailored approach that will turn their vacation into a unique story.

Looking ahead

In the coming years, Ocean Sailing House plan to further strengthen their position in the segment of luxury crewed catamarans in the Adriatic. As the sales representative of Sunreef Yachts for Croatia, the company actively participates in the promotion of this brand, but also in the development of long-term partnerships with boat owners  – everything from purchase consulting to dedicated management of this valuable possession, through charter or private ownership. 

Equally important is their goal is to continuously raise the standards of service, professionalism of crews and transparent fleet management. Their long-term vision also includes the development of an education center for crews and professionals in the luxury charter segment, which would contribute to strengthening the quality of the Croatian nautical offer. 

At the heart of everything is still the same idea that gave birth to their company: the sea as a space of freedom, luxury and unforgettable moments.
