Wide-beam and properly spacious, SON DE MAR pairs classic mahogany styling with modern comfort — no creaky corners here. The master suite's three-metre king bed is a rare treat, and every cabin gets its own coffee machine. The shaded foredeck and sundeck are the stars, with a jacuzzi, evening bar, and an 8-metre floating mat for play. Hostess India, Michelin-trained, keeps service — and her signature cocktail — at the very top of its game.

Guests keep coming back to say the same thing about SON DE MAR:
"We could not fault anything. The yacht, the food, the crew, the toys, the way the yacht was run, all perfect... the crew were outstanding, the food was out of this world. We'd rather dine on board most nights than go out!"

Captain's Interview: Son Del Mar, a Brand-New Motorsailer
The captain of Son Del Mar discusses the yacht's features, its Croatian crew, and the unique cruising experience it offers in the Adriatic Sea.
Motor sailor is one category, it's not motor yacht, it's not sailing yacht, something between. We can run on the motor, we can sail, but really it is one special category.
Captain 0:31
Motor sailor is solid boat, usually steel boat, heavy, good seaman, I said, because during the bad weathers, strong winds, we can navigate without any problem.
Captain 0:49
We have a lot of fisherman friends and everything. So supply is really on daily base, fresh and amazing.

Transcript — Captain's Interview: Son Del Mar, a Brand-New Motorsailer
>> This is a SMA brand new boat on Croatian market. Croatian flag, Croatian crew, of course, Croatian captain.
This boat has a capacity of 12 guests in six cabins. All cabins are en suite and we can offer the guest food experience, our Adriatic experience, beach, and everything.
>> Motor sailor is one category. It's not motor yacht, it's not sailing yacht, something between. We can run on the motor, we can sail, but really it is one special category.
>> Motor sailor is solid boat, usually steel boat, heavy, good seaman, I said, because during the bad weathers, strong winds, we can navigate without any problem. This is different than plastic modern motor.
>> We have more than 200 islands. All our legs and distances are two, three hours. So we don't need a fast boat. So speed of between 8 and 10 knots is more than convenient and enough.
>> During the week, depending on the guest wishes, usually it is seven, but we can make two daily, so between seven and 14.
>> It is always, "This is my island, I'm bored on the island." We have a lot of fisherman friends and everything. So supply is really on daily base, fresh and amazing.
>> If you're interested, please give us a call. My name is Peter Dumska.

Charter Reviews
Chef Antonija and sous chef Nena spoiled us with world-class meals that rivaled any fine dining experience. Stews Matea, Indija, and Lea brought so much warmth, care, and attention to detail, making us feel truly pampered every day. Deckhands Ivan, Luka, and Nikola worked tirelessly to ensure smooth sailing, safety, and fun at every stop.
The entire team worked in perfect harmony, creating an atmosphere that was both professional and deeply personal. Croatia’s coastline is breathtaking, but it was this exceptional crew that made our trip absolutely magical.
If you are considering sailing Croatia, the Son de Mar with this outstanding crew is the only way to do it!
The boat was adequately furnished as advertised, very clean and very efficiently run.
Toys and facilities all in working order and always at hand.
The crew were always prompt, efficient and very courteous, eager to please with a genuine smile.
Captain Mate runs an excellent crew and is very professional.
The food was excellent and varied. The wife of the captain was in charge of the kitchen and worked tirelessly to impress us with her skills.
We had a wonderful time on board and have nothing to complain about. We would certainly recommend the Son de Mar to friends and families that enjoy the sea and love the simple, essential pleasures of a laid back life on board a very good value for money yacht.
comfort of the yacht just added to our enjoyment. Not enough good things can be said about the crew. Captain, chef, deckhands and stewardesses were all most welcoming and accommodating. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and all done with a smile and a pleasant nature.
anyone wanting to cruise the Adriatic. The crew were amazing, providing us with a truly unforgettable experience and the food was delicious, great variety and plentiful.
