About By My Side

Best for: families chasing a toy-led week, with foodie couples a close second.

By My Side is a 2024 Aquila power catamaran working the Šibenik coast, and her standout is the sheer breadth of water toys for a boat this size. A Seabob F9, a Flite Seascooter, a pedal kayak, a SUP, a large Nautibuoy platform, a towable and full snorkelling kit turn every quiet bay into an afternoon programme, all launched from a fast Zar tender with a 350 HP Honda V8.

She sleeps up to eight across four spacious, comfortable cabins, so two families or a group of friends spread out easily. Captain Mateo brings over seven years at sea and a local's read on the Croatian islands, while Ivana, a marine biologist by training, cooks traditional Mediterranean, Asian fusion and a soft spot for Italian sweets, with Lukas on deck keeping the water sports running safely. Smart TV, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth keep the saloon easy between swims.

At 44 feet she carries herself like a 56 foot catamaran, with a genuinely spacious master and clever extra sleeping in the saloon. The Seabob, SUP and snorkelling kit make her a brilliant pick for an active week on the Adriatic.

Good to know

We want to make sure you are well prepared and informed for your trip. Here are a few things you might want to know before you set off.
An APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance) is an amount paid to the yacht before your charter. It's a fund to cover expenses such as food & drink eaten on board, fuel and mooring fees. At the end of your charter, you’ll receive a detailed document showing how the APA was spent, and any remaining balance will be refunded to you. if in doubt about what is included, ask your HELM broker.
The Captain will let you know if you're about to overspend and discuss your next steps, which will generally be a bank transfer to top up the funds.
We recommend (10-15% for the Med) (15-20% for the Caribbean/Bahamas) of your charter fee, which will be split evenly among the crew (it's a nice touch to bring a blank envelope or a thank you card in advance).
We'll share your Captain's details with you a few weeks before your charter. We can set up a group chat with your group and the captain to discuss plans before you go.
