A Private Slice of Luxury on the Adriatic Sea
3 minThere’s something irresistibly special about spending an afternoon aboard the Jeanneau Prestige Fly 46, a perfect blend of elegance, sunshine, and easygoing charm. It’s exactly what guests love most: a touch of luxury, the sound of waves, and an atmosphere that feels both exclusive and warmly relaxed.
A Warm Welcome from Familiar Faces
With our hosts Dirk and Martina setting the tone, every moment on board feels like a carefully curated escape – personal, stylish, and effortlessly enjoyable. Known for his warmth and authenticity, Dirk is more than a captain; he’s the heart of the journey, a host who makes every guest feel instantly at home. Together with Martina, whose calm professionalism and charm add a fresh new energy, the experience becomes more than just a boat trip – it becomes a memory.

New Season, New Energy
This season brought exciting updates aboard the Jeanneau Prestige Fly 46. The yacht is now equipped with more powerful engines, delivering an even smoother and more dynamic ride, as Dirk would later demonstrate with an impressive burst of 38 knots.

A standout addition to the team is Martina, now at the helm as captain. With her calm presence, professional touch, and natural charm, she brings a new layer of sophistication to the experience, a perfect complement to Dirk’s warm and genuine hospitality.
Cruising towards Umag and Savudrija
The sailing route took us north along the coast, with ideal weather and calm seas making for a smooth and scenic ride. The mood on board was the perfect mix of laid-back luxury, elevated by small, thoughtful details. One of the highlights was a refreshing swim stop just in front of the iconic Savudrija Lighthouse, a moment to dive into crystal-clear waters, soak in the sun, and fully embrace the freedom of the open sea.

Tastes of Istria, Sea Breeze Included
Freshly marinated scampi, delicate appetisers, and a crisp glass of local Malvasia wine all added up to a true feeling of being on a private holiday. At one point, Dirk showcased the power of the new engines, briefly reaching 38 knots, just enough thrill to balance out the serenity.
