NOOR II | 2020

Best for: active families and groups of friends, with water-sports-focused groups a close second.

NOOR II is a 2020 San Lorenzo motor yacht, 31 metres, carrying up to ten guests across five cabins with a crew of five. The standout here is the chase boat: a Brig Eagle 10 with twin 350hp Suzuki engines and capacity for twelve passengers, meaning the whole group can transfer to anchorages, beaches or dive sites without splitting into shifts. Back aboard, three Sea Bobs, a Jet Ski, wakeboard, kneeboard, inflatables, combo skis and two SUPs fill the water hours, and a dive compressor means tanks can be filled on the hook.

Captain Ivan Juran brings twenty years of Adriatic experience and a background in windsurfing, diving and wakeboarding that translates directly into knowing where to go and what to do with the toy inventory. Chef Mladen Mustra trained formally and has cooked aboard yachts up to 51 metres, with Mediterranean and international menus shaped around guest preferences. Chief Stewardess Antonia, from Trogir, adds a considered eye for comfort and detail. Dining works at any scale: the main deck, flybridge and salon tables each seat ten comfortably, so the group eats together wherever the evening calls for it.
