Exploring the World of Luxury Super Yachts: A Traveler's Guide

Updated: Dec 3, 2025

With its crystal-clear waters, more than a thousand islands, and rich cultural heritage, Croatia has quickly become the yachting capital of Europe. It offers unparalleled access to the Adriatic Sea in true luxury style.


I recently experienced three incredible super yachts through Goolets. Each yacht has its own distinct personality, design, and purpose. Whether you’re drawn to the old-world charm of Seagull II, the sociable luxury of Riva, or the romantic serenity of Alessandro I, there’s a perfect yacht waiting to make your Adriatic adventure unforgettable.
