ANAVI is a 36 metre Admiral from 2006, a sleek and generously proportioned Italian flybridge motor yacht that makes easy work of the clear water of Croatia and the Adriatic. She looks after eight guests across four cabins with a crew of six, and her appeal is the way she brings space, service and pace together: a clean modern profile, a sun deck with a jacuzzi and broad pads to spread out on and a bright, comfortable interior below, so a busy run of islands and harbours stays easy and more of the week goes to swimming, exploring and settling into quiet bays. For a family or a group of friends who want a well crewed yacht with real presence and the legs to roam, she is a confident and comfortable choice from the first morning to the last.
Her point of difference is that generous scale on a hull built to move. Six crew for eight guests mean attentive, unhurried service, while the clean lines and the bright interior give everyone room to find their own corner. She runs cleanly and rides well at a good turn of speed, so the hops between islands become short and simple, and at rest she drops into a cove with the poise of a yacht built for leisure. The crew keep every part of the day running smoothly, from the first swim off the stern to a long dinner under the stars. The result is a yacht that feels lively and quick when the schedule asks and calm and composed once the evening draws in, with the pace and the space to make the most of a full week on the water.
Life in the open air spreads across her decks, and it rises to the sun deck. Raised above the main deck and open to the sky, it gathers a jacuzzi, soft sun pads and shaded seating with a clear view over the water, the natural gathering point for a long afternoon in the sun and for sundowners as the light drops over the bay. A deck below, the foredeck and the broad aft deck set out further seating and sun pads a few steps from the sea, while a wide swim platform opens the yacht to swimming and to the tender and toys. In the warm months the open decks are the sociable heart of the yacht, with clear Adriatic water always within reach and the pine covered islands slipping past as she moves between anchorages.
Inside, the mood is bright, calm and welcoming, finished in soft tones with large windows that keep the sea in view from every seat. The main salon is a comfortable, open living space with deep sofas and a low table, set close to an elegant interior dining area, so the whole party can gather in bright, sociable rooms when the breeze turns cool or the sun climbs high. A further interior lounge gives a quiet corner to settle with a book or a drink, and the generous glass and the composed finish give the interior an airy, relaxed feel, a counterpoint to the long days spent out on deck and in the water, welcoming by day and settled once the evening comes.
Accommodation is arranged over four cabins for eight guests, set below the main deck where the motion is gentlest. The master stateroom takes a generous, private position with a wide bed, soft joinery and its own bathroom, while a run of guest suites, each quiet and comfortable with their own facilities, look after the rest of the party. It is a flexible plan that suits two families or a group of friends travelling together, the cabins ready for couples and for younger guests sharing, every one finished to the same bright, calm standard. Sleek, quick and attentively crewed, ANAVI is a relaxed and genuinely enjoyable way to charter Croatia and the Adriatic with the whole party kept close.
