Felicita I Motor Yacht

A Seadoo Spark jet ski and a Williams Jet Tender ride in a garage built into Felicita I, so neither of them takes up room on her decks. She is a 70ft (21m) Azimut motor yacht built in 2024, with an interior by Alberto Mancini and P.L. Ausonio Naval Architecture.

Water toys

Five toys come with her. The jet ski is for speed, the water skis and the towable sofa are for being pulled behind a boat, and stand-up paddleboarding is a slower way over the same water; snorkelling kit rounds out the set and goes in from her swim platform, which puts a swimmer at sea level without a climb down her side. The Williams tender carries the party ashore.

Where she cruises

Split, in Croatia, is her home port, and she works the Adriatic coast, with Montenegro open to her as well as Croatia's own islands and bays.

Accommodation and crew

Four cabins sleep eight guests in two doubles and two twins: a master cabin that takes her full beam, a VIP cabin, and a pair of twin cabins, the second of them fitted with bunk beds. A captain and a hostess make up her crew of two, and July and August are the height of her season.

Comfort under way

She is a sport yacht, and her Volvo Penta IPS drives give a cruising speed of 27 knots with 35 knots at the top, so a long run of coast passes quickly. Her fuel use is 300 litres an hour, and Garmin systems handle her navigation and control.

On deck

Her sport flybridge carries a refrigerator, a barbecue grill and a shaded dining area, which means a meal can be cooked and eaten outdoors and out of the sun. Felicita I has a lounge on her bow and an aft deck besides, a Fusion sound system plays through both the saloon and the cockpit, and LED lighting below her waterline lights the sea around her hull.

Charter notes

Felicita I is for hire by the week and suits a family or a party of friends of up to eight, and for a day aboard she takes twelve, so the charter group can be larger by day than overnight.
