Carpe Diem 7 Yacht Description
Boutique gulet for nine. CARPE DIEM 7 is a 98ft/30m custom sailing gulet built in 2002 and refit in 2017, set up for smaller groups who want a proper sailing yacht rather than a floating apartment block. Sleeps 9 in four en-suite cabins.
Cabins with flexibility. The layout is built for mixed groups: a primary with a king, two twin cabins, plus a queen cabin with a Pullman for the ninth guest. Simple. Practical.
Water time is covered. You get a 4.8m/15ft RIB tender with a 100hp outboard for quick hops and tow sessions, plus a solid toy spread including wakeboard, towable tube, adult and child water skis, paddleboards, kayaks, and snorkelling kit.
Comfort, not fuss. Full air conditioning and onboard Wi-Fi keep downtime easy, and entertainment is handled with satellite TV, a 40-inch Panasonic TV, plus stereo/DVD. There is also light fishing gear when “just one cast” turns into an hour.

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 sailboat like Carpe Diem 7, the expected APA is 15% to 30% of the charter price (€2,775 - €5,550), making the charter cost €21,275 to €24,050. 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.

Reviews
The crew were friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating and consistently pleasant to be with during the whole week. Food was over the top fabulous. Your restaurant recommendations were really enjoyed by everyone. They prepared a wonderful surprise dinner (with birthday cake) for Doug (turn 70 while on board) … thank you for a wonderful holiday!
The trip was extraordinary: the splendour of the Carpe Diem, with its ample accommodations and the craftsmanship of the ship itself; a crew that was gracious and knowledgeable; food that was a regional delight; and the sites and experiences that were unforgettable. Frano and Lorena were the perfect hosts.
I selected Dora from her excellent website and we met at her London office to explain we are 3 middle-aged couples who have enjoyed vacations together, but not regular sailors. She showed appreciation for making the hour’s journey to meet her personally.
After narrowing down dates, location, boating experience, etc, Dora went carefully through a selection of her portfolio identifying the pros and cons of each boat. She is very professional and knows all of her client skippers and their boats individually.
We narrowed the choice to 4 – two power boats and two gullets, all adequately displayed on her website. I circulated this info to my friends and it became an easy choice – a beautiful gullet named Carpe Diem based at Split. I think Dora knew we would choose this boat before I left her office !
From then on nothing was too much trouble. Throughout, she gave the impression we were her only clients. We agreed dates, cost, cruising options, meal and drink options, local transfers, etc all handled by Dora patiently. She even recommended 3 restaurants; we tried 2 and very glad we did.
I have already begun a dialogue for another Croatian charter and personally very happy to recommend Dora Vulic to fix your next holiday too.’’
We have returned home from a fantastic week onboard Carpe Diem 7. Thank you for your assistance getting us to Croatia and making our holiday as enjoyable as possible.
We had a great time. That is good to know that you offer special rates! Maybe next summer.
Best,
Lindsay
