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.
ADRIATIC DRAGON Yacht Description
Catamaran, properly set up. This 76ft Lagoon cat (built 2019, refit 2024) sleeps 8 in 4 cabins, with the extra space you pick a cat for in the first place. Full air conditioning and onboard WiFi keep life civilized between swim stops.
Easy water access. The forward owner area has a hydraulic opening hull door that becomes a teak terrace with a swim ladder. Quick dip. Quick back on board. Repeat.
Toys for actual use. Expect a Highfield OM Deluxe 500 tender with a 100hp Honda for getting everyone moving, plus a Seabob F5, wakeboard, water-skis, 2 stand-up paddleboards, a 2-seat kayak, and the usual crowd-pleasers (donut, banana, towing ring, inflatable water beds, snorkeling gear, fishing gear). There’s also a GoPro 6 Black for proof.
Evenings are handled. Open air cinema when you want to wind down, plus a karaoke and disco ball set when you very much do not. BBQ, ice maker, salon TV/stereo, and a stack of board games cover the rest.

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.
