Dolce Vita Yacht Description
Gulet DOLCE VITA is one of the most beautiful gulets based on the Adriatic. We say this with complete confidence, not only because we have witnessed it ourselves, but more because our clients and colleagues seem to think so, too. We’ve had wonderful reports about her dedicated crew, generous deck space and luxury accommodation.
DOLCE VITA had a full refit back in 2013 but her owners give her a significant upgrade every winter. The gulet can accommodate up to 10 guests in five en suite cabins.
Offered by DMA Yachting, the astonishing charter yacht Dolce Vita is a 111 ft sailboat featuring a jetski and a hot tub. Dolce Vita spends the summer and winter season in Croatia. She was constructed by the renowned boatbuilder costume in 2005. An elegant refit was completed in 2015. The spacious yacht layout features 5 large cabins and easily accommodates up to 10 guests.
Dolce Vita is classified primarily as a sailboat.

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 Dolce Vita, the expected APA is 15% to 30% of the charter price (€4,447 - €8,894), making the charter cost €34,093 to €38,540. 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
experienced! Ante took care of us paddle boarding and warming up the jacuzzi! Captain Tom - there is no one like you! You found the best coves, the best restaurants, the best everything. You all have been so amazing and we can’t wait to return. Ante - wishing you the best with you new baby and thank your wife for us - she is tough to get through the first week without you! Thank you SO much for everything!”
Thank you so much for such a great week, you have all been so kind to us from start to finish. We look forward to coming back in 2025 and staying with you for a 5th time!
PS. Boris your lunches were absolutely delicious, nearly as nice as Irena's desserts!!
There are moments in time to have special days in paradise and this trip was one of them. From Tomis stead hand in charge, Ante's quiet talking but solid demeanour and Boris making us incredible food. Mostly, I'd like to that Nikola and Irene, who feel like one of the family!
I was worried when I heard the crew had changed but we have had the best time!
The crew of Dolce Vita absolutely made our vacation! Tome, thank you for planning and organising our journey and getting us safely from port to port. Ante, thank you for transporting us to and from the boat and for making sure all of our water toys worked. Nikola, we loved seeing your bright smile every day! Thank you for being so attentive, for chatting with the kids and for your fun shots! Irene, you are so sweet and kind. The kids loved spending time with you and we appreciate all the work you do to Mae our journey special. Boris, thank you for your delicious food (especially the pancakes!), late night swims and throwing the football!
We hope to cross paths with you all again,
American Family
Especially noted:
Nikola- mastered English 'builders tea' and gin and tonic maker!
Boris - 'anchor man'. Superb international cuisine from the Croatian Masterchef, but the fired eggs stole the show!
Ante- our own private water taxi and protector.
Irena - great maker of pre swim cherry brandy shots, towel sculptures and very creative table presentation.
Captain Tom - always a smile on his face, a natural leader always in control with expert knowledge not only on the waters and islands but of the best restaurants in town!
You have all been amazing and have all looked after us so well- we don't want to leave!
Many thanks to our amazing crew: Irena, Nikola, Tom, Ante and Boris. YOU made our trip warm, friendly and welcoming. We are so grateful for all your hospitality and kindness. Wishing you the best.
Fingers crossed that we get to see you again in 2024!
