Erolia is a Custom Line 120 built to be used hard. Twenty-five knots from a planing GRP hull, a Wally 48 running alongside her as a chase boat, and a summer programme spent in the Croatian islands rather than parked stern-to in a marina. Ferretti delivered her in 2022 to a Francesco Paszkowski design, inside and out, and she has been chartering the Adriatic ever since.
The exterior is where the Paszkowski hand shows most clearly. Long glazing bands, a low superstructure and a hardtop carried on dark swept struts that frame every view from the upper deck without ever closing it in. She looks quick standing still, and the numbers back it up: twenty-three knots cruising, twenty-five flat out, 1,100 nautical miles of range.
Inside, the scheme is warm rather than pale. Book-matched oak runs floor to deckhead in a soft honey tone, set against high-gloss lacquer, cream upholstery and a single deliberate note of colour in the red leather chairs that anchor the main salon. It is a confident room. Sofas face each other across a low glass table, curtains soften the window band, and the whole space reads as somewhere to sit for an evening rather than a lobby to pass through.
Forward of it the dining sits in its own zone, set apart by a run of full-height oak joinery rather than closed off behind a bulkhead: a glass-topped table for eight in cream armchairs, its own cabinetry, its own light. Between the two, the stairwell is treated as a feature in its own right, lit timber treads behind a full-height glass balustrade running the depth of the yacht.
The master sits full-beam on the main deck, forward. The berth faces a window band that runs the width of the cabin, with an armchair by the glass and a bathroom in white stone off one side. Four further cabins below take the guest count to ten: doubles in silver and oak with their own en suites, and a twin with two proper single berths rather than a convertible compromise. Eight crew look after them.
On deck she is arranged in layers. The sundeck carries facing sofas with teak armrests under the hardtop and a run of loungers aft, all of it open to the coastline. One level down, a round table for six sits under the same hardtop with the sides open to the water. The foredeck adds sun pads and a private seating group in the bow, and the stern folds down into a bathing platform where the toys live.
And the toys are the point of her. A Wally 48 chase boat runs with her, which turns a day trip into something closer to a second yacht. Alongside it: a Sea-Doo RXT-X, a Fliteboard, a Seabob, two sea scooters, paddleboards, a wakeboard, skis and a monoski, an inflatable stern platform and a bike for going ashore.
She cruises the eastern Mediterranean and the Adriatic in both seasons, which in practice means Croatia. That is the right water for a yacht this size and this quick: a hundred islands within a morning of each other, and the legs between them short enough that twenty-five knots genuinely changes the itinerary.
