CLOUD 9 | 2024

Best for: couples or small groups of friends, with families of up to six a close second.

Cloud 9 is a brand-new 2024 Menorquin motor yacht, and that freshness is the defining thing about her: everything from the upholstery to the engines is straight from the yard, launching from Komolac on the Dubrovnik riviera. She runs 21 metres and sleeps six guests across three cabins, a master en-suite, a VIP en-suite, and a starboard twin, giving two couples and a pair of friends their own doors to close each evening.

Captain Mato Krečak brings two decades of Adriatic knowledge and speaks English, Italian, and conversational Spanish, so island-hopping itineraries are shaped by someone who still finds the coast genuinely exciting. Alongside him, Mario Marušić handles deck and galley duties, carrying over 35 years of maritime experience from luxury yachts to cruise liners. Watertoys include a Seabob FS5 Star, SUP, wakeboard, and a donut, keeping active guests busy between anchorages.
