NIKA ONE Yacht Description
Core upload to your holiday brain: NIKA ONE is a brand‑new 2025 Fountaine Pajot Samana 59 built around one idea: maximum liveable deck space for 8 guests who actually want to use the yacht, not just sleep on it. Think oversized flybridge, bow lounge, aft cockpit and hydraulic swim platform – four separate zones where your group can scatter, decompress and only regroup when the food appears.
The real hook: the flybridge is one of the largest in class, with proper sunbeds and a raised helm/cockpit, so you get views and airflow instead of crouching under a bimini. Forward, the sunken bow cockpit with modular sunpads is your quiet‑zone: morning coffee, sunset drinks, kids out of the way, adults pretending they’re discussing “itinerary strategy.”
How you actually live on board: 8 guests sleep in 4 queen cabins, including a VIP master that eats up two‑thirds of the starboard hull. Translation: real wardrobe space, real shower, and enough room to pretend you’re on a much bigger yacht. Interiors are factory‑fresh, with owner‑selected fabrics, full air‑conditioning and a clean, light finish that feels more boutique hotel than charter bus.
Hardware for play: NIKA ONE carries a serious toy stack for this size: fast tender, wakeboard, adult and kids’ water skis, 2 Sea Scooters, inflatable banana and donut, SUPs, kayak and full snorkel kit. The hydraulic swim platform turns into a beach club, so gear launch and recovery doesn’t become a group engineering project.
Silent‑mode comfort flex: upgraded battery bank and electric galley mean you can cook and run AC at night on anchor without living next to a generator soundtrack. It’s a small detail until you’ve tried sleeping without it – then it’s non‑negotiable.
Human operating system: a three‑person Croatian crew – Captain Toni, Chef Ivan and hostess Marina – run this boat like a tight, family‑level operation. Toni knows the islands and anchorages down to “which way the boat swings at 3am”; Ivan is ex‑5‑star‑hotel with a menu built around fresh local produce; Marina stitches the whole experience together front‑of‑house. If you want a charter where the crew quietly optimise your week without turning it into a performance, this is that yacht.
Why you pick NIKA ONE over another 60‑footer: more usable deck space, a genuinely big master, a toy list that justifies the swim platform, new‑build comfort, and a pro crew already tuned to Mediterranean, food‑centric, family‑and‑friends charters. If your spec is “modern, spacious cat that functions like a small resort and doesn’t feel crowded with 8 people,” you’ve basically arrived at the end of your search results.

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 NIKA ONE, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price (€7,000 - €12,250), making the charter cost €42,000 to €47,250. 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.

Captain: Toni Ljubović
TONI Ljubović - CAPTAIN
--------------------------------
Captain TONI, 39 years, was born in Split, Croatia, and from the very earliest age has been in the most complete sense a total man of the sea. By the age of three he was already accompanying his father on his fishing boat plying the Adriatic for the perfect catch and it was this very early experience which developed his deep love and affinity with boats and the water.
He grew up in and around the extensive sailing community in Split. Before the age of ten he had already acquired advanced sailing qualifications and was to be seen each weekend carving through the waves on his special dinghy 'Lorimar.' By the time he reached his teens he had developed into an extremely competent helmsman with a love for anything connected to the water: TONI was also a national swimming and water polo champion at junior level and gained a reputation locally as an excellent diver who had a side business selling shells from his underwater exploits.
TONI knows the Dalmatian islands like the back of his hands and will impress you with his in-depth knowledge of each island, each restaurant, each bay, and all the interesting sites and things to do. A discreet and quiet Captain extremely proficient in all matters related to boat handling, he used to skipper one of the local 57ft sailing yachts called 'Dora' that went around the world. He also sailed extensively in Greece, BVI, Montenegro, Italy and Spain. He is an active member of the sailing community in Split and has won awards in several sailing races. Toni is also a university graduate where he excelled with a major in sailing.
TONI has over 11 years' experience at skippering commercially with charter guests on boats of varying sizes. Professionalism, quiet efficency, and good humour are his main characteristics and he will make sure that you have what you need throughout your charter.
He is married to Marina, the hostess aboard, and is fluent in Croatian and English.
MARINA Ljubović - HOSTESS
-------------------------------------
MARINA is at once a very experienced and professional hostess and also the wife of Captain TONI. They met on a sailing trip they had both joined around the Mediterranean ( where else? ) and the rest is history. MARINA's background is in hospitality; she graduated from one of the best hospitality schools in Split. She is also a trained chef and delights in preparing snacks and hors d'oeuvres for guests on occasion.
Having started sailing as a hostess on various sailing yachts later on in her career, she incorporated her love for cooking into her hostess role. She is highly responsive, detail-oriented, and passionate about delivering an unforgettable vacation experience for guests. From helping Ivan to organize impeccable meals to ensuring every aspect of the journey runs smoothly, she goes above and beyond to exceed guest expectations.
Her warm personality and attentive service have consistently received high praise from clients. Marina has previously lived in London and Perth, Australia and speaks good English.
IVAN Cagalj - CHEF
------------------------
Having graduated from one the best private culinary schools in Split, Ivan's carreer started at the Le Meriden Lav, a 5 star hotel in Split where he mastered his cooking skills as well as developed an impeccable eye for presentation. More recently he also worked at several other high end hotels such as Martinis Marchi on Solta and has accumulated a very impressive CV.
His culinary ethos is all about incorporating fresh local produce, hence he tries to source local ingredients where possible. His passion is Dalmatian Cuisine (a light Med cuisine based on a lot of veg, fresh fish and meat) however he is able to adapt to any cuisine and delights in showing his skills by adapting to the various palates of international guests.
He is happy to receive feedback and incorporate client suggestions and wishes into his menus, and has a happy personable manner which has won him a lot of friends on the boats and many very satisfied clients.
