Onboard SON DE MAR in Split.
Very wide beam - properly spacious. Sleeps 12. Built in 2019 but styled like a classic, so you get that old-school charm without the creaks. The mahogany looks great.
The chef’s been busy – we’ve tested him on everything, and he delivers.
The master cabin has a 3-meter king bed, which is rare and genuinely impressive. Each cabin has its own coffee machine and good amenities.
The foredeck and sundeck are the big winners: Huge shaded dining, bar for evenings, jacuzzi, and plenty of space to spread out. Toy selection is solid – including an 8-meter floating mat.
But as we so often say, it is the crew that matters the most, and this is where India, the hostess, comes in. She has a Michelin background, knows her wines, and runs service at the highest standard. To say a little about her efforts, her signature cocktail is a "soak overnight and filtered 5 times" cocktail - it is delicious!
A great setup for families or 3–4 couples. Spacious, classic look, strong crew, and great value for Split.
Client Review: September 2025 - We wanted to thank you for the most amazing trip on Son De Mar. We could not fault anything. The yacht, the food, the crew, the toys, the way the yacht was run, all perfect. The boat was lovely, very comfortable and well equipped, and the crew were outstanding. The food was out of this world. We all decided that we would rather dine on board most nights than go out, and the service was impeccable. They are just lovely people. We all enjoyed every minute of it!!
SON DE MAR Yacht Description
Deck life first. SON DE MAR is a 45m (147'8") custom-built motor sailer from 2019 that leans hard into outdoor living: a large sun deck with a Jacuzzi, multiple spots for al fresco dining, and easy lounging from aft deck to foredeck. Coffee up front, sundowners up top. Simple.
Serious water access. The 8m swim platform with Sea Bob docks makes swim stops quick and low-drama, and the toy box backs it up with a Jet Ski, waterskis for adults and children, wakeboard, SeaBobs, four paddleboards, two single kayaks, plus snorkelling gear and fishing equipment.
Spaces that work. Inside, the main salon is set up like people actually use it, with separate lounge and dining areas plus a bar, and plenty of natural light. There is also a sauna for post-water warm-ups or post-lunch regret management.
Sleeps 12 in six. Accommodation is for up to 12 guests in six en-suite cabins: a full-beam master with a king bed, four doubles with queen beds, and one twin cabin.

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 SON DE MAR, the expected APA is 15% to 30% of the charter price (€11,250 - €22,500), making the charter cost €86,250 to €97,500. 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.

Reviews
Chef Antonija and sous chef Nena spoiled us with world-class meals that rivaled any fine dining experience. Stews Matea, Indija, and Lea brought so much warmth, care, and attention to detail, making us feel truly pampered every day. Deckhands Ivan, Luka, and Nikola worked tirelessly to ensure smooth sailing, safety, and fun at every stop.
The entire team worked in perfect harmony, creating an atmosphere that was both professional and deeply personal. Croatia’s coastline is breathtaking, but it was this exceptional crew that made our trip absolutely magical.
If you are considering sailing Croatia, the Son de Mar with this outstanding crew is the only way to do it!
The boat was adequately furnished as advertised, very clean and very efficiently run.
Toys and facilities all in working order and always at hand.
The crew were always prompt, efficient and very courteous, eager to please with a genuine smile.
Captain Mate runs an excellent crew and is very professional.
The food was excellent and varied. The wife of the captain was in charge of the kitchen and worked tirelessly to impress us with her skills.
We had a wonderful time on board and have nothing to complain about. We would certainly recommend the Son de Mar to friends and families that enjoy the sea and love the simple, essential pleasures of a laid back life on board a very good value for money yacht.
comfort of the yacht just added to our enjoyment. Not enough good things can be said about the crew. Captain, chef, deckhands and stewardesses were all most welcoming and accommodating. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and all done with a smile and a pleasant nature.
anyone wanting to cruise the Adriatic. The crew were amazing, providing us with a truly unforgettable experience and the food was delicious, great variety and plentiful.
