Anavi Superyacht

Luca Dini and the in-house design team at Admiral drew her together, and Bacigalupo shaped the V of her keel: Anavi is a 118ft (36m) superyacht built on an aluminium alloy hull in 2007 and refitted in 2022, her interior pairing grey tones with honey-coloured oak floors.

On deck

A deck jacuzzi and a wide sundeck give her plenty of open-air room, and the swim platform makes getting into the sea and back aboard easy. Gym equipment is carried for a workout without going ashore, and the dining table seats eight, so the whole party sits down together.

Water toys

A 15ft tender takes guests ashore, and the toys run from a Seadoo jet ski and two Seabobs, enough for two riders at a time, to an e-foil, paddleboards, an inflatable kayak, water skis and snorkelling gear, with a water slide dropping swimmers straight into the sea.

Where she cruises

Anavi keeps her home port at Split, and from there she covers the coast of Croatia and runs south into Montenegro, so there are two countries of shoreline open to her.

Accommodation and crew

Four cabins sleep eight guests, each with a private bathroom and closet space, and a crew of six looks after them, so attention is never spread thin. The layout runs to two doubles and two twins.

Comfort under way

She rides on a planing hull, cruising at 18 knots with 30 in reserve and burning 500 litres an hour; stabilisers at anchor and under way cut the roll in both.

Charter notes

She suits a family or friends who want to spend the day in the water; she is hired by the week, July and August her peak months, and beyond the eight sleeping aboard she can carry twelve by day or host an event charter for thirty.
