Yacht Description
Gulet scale, 2021 build. LOVE STORY is a 43.25m (about 142ft) custom-built gulet-style sailing yacht launched in 2021 (refit also noted as 2021). She sleeps 12 guests in 6 en-suite cabins, so you get proper space without turning the week into a game of musical bathrooms.
Sundeck that earns it. The sundeck is set up for long days outside: a deck Jacuzzi surrounded by sunpads, plus a dining area and lounge seating. Not subtle. Very effective.
Easy water access. A fold-down swim platform and swim ladder make getting in and out of the sea straightforward, and it doubles as a low-to-the-water hangout when you are done pretending you will “just have a quick dip.”
Toys for real use. You have a Jet Ski, e-foil/foilboard, wakeboard, adult water skis, paddleboards/SUPs, canoe, snorkeling gear, and light fishing gear, plus a BRIG tender (6.7m, 175hp) to keep the switch between “onboard” and “on the water” nicely frictionless.

Charter Reviews
Dear Love Story Crew, We are a group of old Argentine friends who have taken several trips like this. This crew is in the "Top 3" of the best we've ever traveled with. It's very difficult for us to rate them because they are kind, efficient, caring, attentive, and they did everything they could to understand each and every one of us. We will always remember them fondly. A "Special mention to Cristina," who is responsible for us having to buy clothes a size bigger. Ha ha ha!!! :) We thank the entire team who took care of us while we had fun like children in the water... And what can we say about Tony and Ana... We all need a Tony and Ana at home... Infinite thanks to everyone...
Dear Love Story Crew: We are so grateful for our week at sea with you – it was a perfect, magical journey that we will remember forever! Captain Ivan: Strong, capable, genuine; we were in such good hands and your warmth made us all feel safe and at ease. Thank you! Tony: Always present, welcoming us with a big smile and warm laugh; you always anticipated our needs. Ana: Patient and kind; the special memory you created for us of our Cici was something we will never forget. Kreso: Our capable tender driver; always ready with a strong hand and big smile. Marin: Sharp, direct with that we so appreciated; thank you for being direct. Dom: Always had our water toys ready; a quiet presence filled with joy. Paola: Our rooms were glorious – thank you! Christina: Delicious meals that were catered to all of our specific needs; just wow! We are leaving happy and full. Our favourite memories: “Shredding
the gnar!” So many delicious meals – many, many mojitos! Golf with Tony on a rainy night. Getting to know Captain Ivan on Monday morning – come visit us in Chicago and Virginia Beach!
From our family to yours, we appreciate all that you did for us. We will treasure the memories. Thank you!
Dear group magic team of Love Story, Thank you for your attention and care of us. The kids will remember the best time of relaxing. It was an amazing week!
Beautiful week and sea, very comfortable yacht (one of the best I have seen), and the most important – very warm atmosphere created by the team! Thank you for being nice and making us feel completely at home! Special thanks to Ana and Tony! They have a talent to know what you want before you realize it yourself! :)
Dear crew of Love Story, A heartfelt thank you for making our time on board absolutely unforgettable. From the very first moment you made us feel completely at home.
Your warmth, professionalism, and attention to details were simply outstanding. The entire crew is truly a 10 out of 10! And the food... what can we say? We've eaten like in Michelin starred every single day. AN ABSOLUTE DREAM!!! We already find ourselves wishing we could stay longer. Hope to return next year and make this amazing journey a tradition. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for everything you've done for us. With all our gratitude!
Anna, Tony, and the whole wonderful Love Story crew. THANK YOU SO MUCH for creating such a spectacular adventure for our gang. The service was incredible, the locations you’ve taken us to so beautiful, the food is INSANELY good... shout out to chef Christina!... and all around we are all so wowed by the level of hospitality. This will be a trip we all look back on the rest of our lives with such fond memories. This entire operation is so truly impressive, and it is not lost on us the amount of around the clock work that goes into it.
Love, other Anna!
To show our appreciation, I’ve written in rhyme:
The Zoldans & Berrys had such an amazing time.
To Charter a yacht was Ronnie’s ambition, so being on Love Story brought it to fruition.
The wonderful & efficient 8 man crew
Enhanced our stay & made the dream come true.
They work so hard each & every day
and pandered to our wishes in such a lovely way.
From breakfast to dinner and even afternoon tea,
All delicious and served so beautifully.
The guys were fantastic with all the toys Seabobs, hydrofoil & jet skis
for the boys, Changing batteries, and watching us in case of a fall.
All of us in their safe hands having a ball.
So many thanks to you wonderful 8,
We’d love to come back, we can hardly wait.
You’ve become friends to us all we had such a treat
So let’s all hope in the future we’ll meet.
To Ana, Andrea, Antonia + Kristine, Dom, Filip, Ivan + Krešo
You’ve made our holiday so special & great. A memory for us that will never fade.
Thank you Thank you Thank you
