Lovely Lagoon has had a recent refit; she looks in great condition. Impressive size walk-in closet, nice touch with the fold-down balcony, great sunbeds on the flybridge, and big lounging area on the front deck. Best part is the friendly and super experiences captain, Niksa Gjurasic, who grew up in Dubrovnik with the Croatian cruising ground as his backyard. He was great to talk to about itineraries and I would happily put him in charge of planning a route around the islands. Two of our team members, John Boullin and Mo Pristas, were onboard for a trip with Adriatic Dragon after the Yacht Show in Split in 2024. Their main praise went to the captain.

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a sailing catamaran like ADRIATIC DRAGON, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price (€9,400 - €16,450), making the charter cost €56,400 to €63,450. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.
