You can party in Hvar’s legendary social scene, explore the 16th-century port of Dubrovnik, experience the ancient Montenegrin city of Kotor at the bottom of Boka Bay, or find a deserted, pine-fringed cove of your own if you want to escape.

ANIMA MARIS’s 49m (161ft) hugely experienced captain knows all there is to know about this remarkable cruising ground: where to find the best konobas for local dishes, how to reach the hidden blue caves before anyone else, when best to visit the spectacularly well-preserved roman ruins that dot the coast.

This special yacht combines the exhilaration of sail with all the comfort and amenities of a motor yacht. ANIMA MARIS is absolutely unmistakable with its powerful Bermudan schooner rig, backed up by 1,000hp of engine power to keep you on schedule on calm days.

On the sun deck aft is a jacuzzi, nestling among sun pads, where you can soak in the bubbles as you enjoy the scenery. There are sun lounges for bronzing under a cloudless sky, a bar to keep you and your guests fully refreshed and shade on offer from retractable biminis. There is also an open-air dining table for dining beneath the stars.

Lunch, lovingly prepared by your gifted chef using the finest local produce, is best taken on the main deck aft, shaded from the midday heat. Steps lead down to the swim platform where the deck crew can prepare the yacht’s watertoys. There’s a jetski for instant adrenaline and waterskis, a wakeboard and a doughnut for scooting around behind the yacht’s 6.8m (22.3ft) tender.

When you walk in from the main deck aft to the lounge’s air-conditioned cool, there’s a sit-up bar for cocktails to get the celebrations started. Forward to starboard there is a formal dining room with stunning views through picture windows, opposite L-shaped sofas where you and your guests can relax after dinner.

At bedtime, yours is the full-beam master suite aft, with its private staircase from the main lounge. The VIP suite also has a private entrance, reached by a staircase from the bridge. A third staircase, forward of the lounge’s bar, leads down to four further double cabins, all en suite, well-appointed and beautifully finished.
