Yacht Description
Freshened up, properly. FRIEND'S BOAT is an 86ft Custom Line (Ferretti) motor yacht built in 2008 and refit in 2025, set up to sleep 8 guests in 4 en-suite cabins.
Two-couple friendly. You get a main-deck master plus a VIP that is effectively a second master, then two twin cabins (one converts to a double). No awkward cabin politics.
Sundeck movie nights. The open-air cinema with projector turns the sundeck into the easiest post-dinner plan. Popcorn optional.
Water time included. Launch from the 5.8m VSR tender and cycle through the toy lineup: Flyboard, wakeboard, water-skis, a towable donut, 2 paddleboards, a 2-person kayak, snorkelling gear, plus Yamaha sea scooters for longer underwater wandering.
Comfort underway and at rest. Stabilizers at anchor and underway help keep the boat steady, with air conditioning and Wi-Fi onboard when you want to cool off and reconnect.

Broker: Friend's Boat has a very experienced captain. I really like his style and therefore, along with her combination of being a very compact, great value for money 26-meter, I highly recommend her. She's a very popular yacht.
Captain: Something which is very unique about Friend's Boat, it's a lady in the best years, like 16 years old, trying to keep it in good condition.
Captain: People like their comfort, nice soundproof and very stable on the sea with all necessary helping like stabilizers what we have. People really like it. Yeah.
Captain: Not too fast. We are like cruising 9 knots of speed and but very economically like not spending too much fuel these days and of course the environment and ecologically consumption is like in nine cruising nine knots cruising we doing not more than 100 liters per hour.
Captain: More island which I like here is Kornati Islands which is completely archipelago of like 100, almost 110 islands and really untouched nature, clear waters and good good food. We very often, yeah, I always recommend of course, but you know, it depends about the customers of course and the clients, yeah.
Captain: What we are usually trying to do is to keep the crew really together as much as we can. From my point of view, I'm 13 years on this boat.
