Back on SCORPIOS second year for lunch - amazing sushi spread. One of my favorite luxury motorsailers in Croatia.
Read my review from last year below - It all still applies.
(Scorpios is the 2023 addition to the Tramontana Yachts Fleet) Black and striking, her name fits perfectly. She was one out of three Tramontana yachts at the show. All three have impressed us, showing Tramontana’s consistency in delivering high-quality luxury yachts.
First thing to note: Chief Stewardess Trish, who gave us the tour of the interior, has been with Tramontana from the start and trains all the stewardesses across the fleet – there is a huge focus on delivering the best service on these yachts.
What I love about Scorpios: The interior is fantastic throughout, but the flybridge blew us away. It is one of the best we have seen. With a bar and a jacuzzi –also with a bar top around it– and lounging couches that can be rearranged like building blocks, this is one of the most flexible and practical deck spaces we’ve seen. It is perfect for events, celebrations, or just a big group of friends enjoying a cruise.
SCORPIOS Yacht Description
Modern motor sailer living. SCORPIOS is a 52m (about 170’7”) custom build launched in 2023, and she sleeps 12 guests in six cabins. The vibe is straightforward: big deck spaces, easy indoor-outdoor flow, and enough separation that a full group does not have to run on one schedule.
Decks that earn their keep. There is an on-deck Jacuzzi for the post-swim reset, plus multiple exterior lounge and dining spots for rotating between shade, sun, and snacks. A fold-out balcony over the water adds a simple win: your morning coffee now has a sea-level setting.
Proper water access. Beach club and swim platform. The transom doors open to create another hangout right at the waterline, so getting in and out of the sea stays quick and low-effort.
Toys for a full week. You get two SeaDoo Jet-Skis, two Seabobs, an e-foil, wakeboard, adult and children’s waterskis, two paddleboards, a 2-person donut, plus snorkelling and fishing gear. The tender is an Advanced 8.5m with 150hp for shuttles and toy deployment without turning it into a committee meeting.
Cabins with flexibility. The layout is one full-beam Master, one VIP, and four convertible double cabins that switch between double and twin, so mixed couples and families are easy to accommodate. All cabins are en suite, and the master bathroom includes a bathtub.
Accommodation
Few sailing yachts have such superior staterooms with the ability for all to convert to luxurious king sized beds. They are decorated with a muted palette of soft grey, warm wood and accents of subtle blue. The ensuite bathrooms blend perfectly into the suites and cleverly echo the colour scheme with the master ensuite boasting a full bathtub. All the suites are spacious, light, with comfortable beds and plenty of storage for guests. Each stateroom has a walk-in wardbrobe, robes and slippers, satelitle TV and music systems with USB and bluetooth connectivity and hairdryers, essential toiletries in the ensuite bathrooms.CABIN DIMENSIONS

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 SCORPIOS, the expected APA is 15% to 30% of the charter price (€17,250 - €34,500), making the charter cost €132,250 to €149,500. 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.
