Our team went on board these yachts at the CRO.Y.A. 2026 yacht show in Croatia. These ten stood out. They are listed in no particular order, and each card shows the yacht’s current listing.
1. MARALLURE
Service that reaches the right person without a search
Our team has been on board Marallure three years in a row and still likes her very much. A request made by a guest reaches the right crew member without anyone having to go and find them, and guests notice that on every day of a week.
2. FARBEN
A guest book full of letters from past guests
Farben keeps a guest book where past guests leave handwritten letters and drawings. On the day we visited, the galley had a tray of overnight oats in glass jars with a handwritten card listing exactly what was in them. She has two outdoor places to eat: the shaded aft cockpit, and the forward deck with sunpads and bean bags.
3. OHANA
Built around families, with a kids’ room that has a climbing wall
Ohana means family. Below deck is a dedicated kids’ room with a climbing wall, monkey bars and a small kitchen, and the cinema is next door for movie nights. Everyone eats together on the aft deck in a half circle along the rail, and themed nights such as a white party are arranged to suit the group.
4. TRI WING OSSUS (LAGOON 55)
New for 2026, with light modern interiors and cabins in a range of sizes
Tri Wing Ossus is new for 2026. The interior is light and modern, and her catamaran layout gives far more usable outdoor space than a monohull. Her cabins come in a range of sizes, which suits one family or two families travelling with children. Croatia is her patch.
5. TRI WING ENDOR
A family boat with a crew who plan around the group
A crane on the bow launches the jet ski, so it actually gets used. The captain times the inflatable platform around a long lunch or an island tour so it is ready when the group returns, and a projector can hang wherever the group wants it, bow included, for a cinema night at anchor. The crew plan the island run to the Blue Cave, the green cave and Stiniva around the weather.
6. SINATA
A removable bed in the master and a chef who cooks Mediterranean food
A removable bed is built into the master’s closet, so parents with a small child can keep them in the same room. The chef cooks Mediterranean food, and dietary requests such as vegan and gluten-free are easily accommodated.
7. ARGO
A high crew-to-guest ratio and hotel-style cabins
Argo is built around service, and her crew-to-guest ratio changes the feel of the whole week. Her cabins, including the smaller ones, are light, colourful and decorated like a hotel. The bridge deck takes the whole group at once.
8. RARA AVIS
Set up for groups who already know each other
Rara Avis has an open galley in the salon, and guests use it, standing and talking to the chef while he cooks. A sofa, books and games for the children are alongside. At night the crew set tables on the sun deck for dinner under strung fairy lights. She is 108 ft with an 8.4 m beam, wide for her length, so she feels bigger inside than those numbers suggest.
9. MIDORI (SUNREEF 70 ECO)
A deep green hull and sushi made in front of the guests
Midori is a Sunreef 70 Eco built around a Japanese idea: midori means green, and her hull is a deep green. Sunshades fore and aft and a walk-through from end to end make her one large open platform. A big cooking island in the galley lets the chef make sushi in front of the guests and serve it straight onto the island. Every bed splits into twins, so she reconfigures for whatever group comes aboard.
10. ARAGO
Dark wood and black panelling instead of a white interior
Arago has a dark-wood, black-panelled interior with real character, a change from the usual bright charter look. The master is on the main deck with a walk-in closet and a bathroom larger than usual. The saloon table seats the whole group, so everyone eats together. She suits adults who want a darker, more characterful interior.
Also worth a look from the show
Renata
Renata has been rebuilt inside, so everything inside is new. Her doubles are the size of VIP cabins, the master has its own private deck with a jacuzzi, and the beach club has a sauna that opens straight to the sea.
Novela
Novela’s saloon has one enormous couch you can lie flat on, which makes it a very good movie room.
La Mirage
La Mirage has a grandmillennial interior of white, pink and blue with florals and pastels, a look we have not seen on another yacht.
Conte Alberti
Conte Alberti is a 27.4 m Horizon motor yacht built in 2006 and refitted in 2020, with 4 cabins for 8 guests. She cruises Croatia, and guests can join her in Trogir or Split. She solves the weather problem well: there is a dining table inside, one outside and one on the flybridge, so there is always somewhere right to eat.
The flybridge is a whole deck of its own rather than a sun pad and a railing. The master is on the main deck and is the only cabin there, with windows above the bed for looking at the sky.
