Umbrella mobility has its representatives also at sea. You can sail around the whole Croatia on the luxury yacht Umbrella Victoria!
In addition to our premium coaches and minibuses that we use on our international or urban and suburban routes and rent them for occasional transport services, you will find the Umbrella trademark also at sea. In 2017, we bought a new luxury power catamaran from the Fountaine Pajot shipyard, with the MY 44 type designation. The very next year in spring, this beauty sailed to Croatia already under its name Umbrella Victoria. Here, it can be hired thanks to our partners from the charter company Baotić Yacht Charter.
Why did we opt for the MY 44 power catamaran? The first reason was the skills and reputation of its manufacturer, the company Fountaine Pajot that has been engaged in designing and manufacturing ships since 1976. Its series of power catamarans combines in itself a top-class design, unrivalled space and incredible performance. The second reason was in particular the maximum possible comfort that the MY 44 offers to passengers – it is no exaggeration to say that its standard can be compared to a five-star hotel.
We were among the first at that time who ordered this hot new MY 44. Immediately afterwards, the results of prestigious “shipbuilders” surveys convinced us that our choice was accurate. MY 44 was first announced the winner of the Asia Boating Awards competition. Immediately afterwards, it took home the Motor Boat Award 2018 for the best motor yacht that is awarded by the prestigious Motorboat & Yachting Magazine. Finally, it crowned its triumphant march to victory by winning the title of the European motor boat of the year at the shipbuilding trade fair in Düsseldorf.
The boat that will enchant you
Umbrella Victoria is one of the most luxurious and best equipped catamarans that you can meet in Croatian waters. From the interior made of teakwood to all electrical appliances, everything is in top quality. Unprecedented comfort is then awaiting guests on the board.
The yacht offers accommodation for 6 people in three double cabins that are incredibly spacious and comfortably equipped with comfortable double beds with storage compartments, tables and seatings. The biggest of them is the owner’s cabin, resembling exactly the five-star hotel room. Each cabin has its own bathroom, TV and Wi-Fi connection.
Adjacent to the cabins is a spacious bright saloon with perfectly equipped galley and a folding dining table. Every conceivable food can be cooked in the galley, and a fridge, cooker, microwave oven, dishwasher and even a wine cooler or a washing machine are commonplace. The whole boat is literally larded with electronic devices – you will find here a BOSE HiFi system, a TV in each of the cabins or large 22 inch screens with boat controls on the captain’s bridges.
The other spaces for relaxation, sunbathing and drinking chilled drinks are on the upper deck, so called flybridge. In addition to the seats, the generous relaxation zone includes also a grill with a fridge. Moreover, the upper deck offers a beautiful view of the surroundings. The bow of the boat is also furnished with comfortable mattresses. Guests can enjoy a hydraulic swim platform, an air-conditioning system and underwater lights for boating during romantic evenings. The equipment and accessories also include the Williams dinghy, a wakeboard, stand up paddleboard, towing ring and other water toys for both kids and adults.
Beautiful outside, strong inside
Another great advantage of this boat is that its water and fuel bunkers are so big that guests do not have to waste their time by sailing into ports and refilling them for the whole week. On top of that, Umbrella Victoria is incredibly economical. Compared to the other yachts, it is possible to sail on it in a speed of 8 to 9 knots per hour for similar costs as on a sailboat. And even in a speed of 15 to 18 knots per hour, the fuel consumption is significantly more favourable than for common single-hull motor yachts. This power catamaran also has excellent manoeuvrability in small spaces and impressive sailing performance during fast sailing under impaired conditions.
We rent Umbrella Victoria with a professional captain, who will take care of every detail of the voyage. A hostess may be available to guests at their request. There is a separate cabin for the captain and the hostess and so they do not infringe personal privacy of guests. You will find detailed information about the terms and prices of the rent on the website of our subsidiary company Umbrella Yacht.
Its territory is Croatia
Umbrella Victoria moors in the marina of Baotić in Seged Donji, Croatia, right next to the airport in Split. You can head off on it to basically any part of the Croatian coast. We offer our customers tips for the country’s most interesting and beautiful sights in the articles published on the Umbrella Yacht blog.
Here, they can read for example about Mljet, one of the most beautiful local islands: The Green Pearl of Croatia. The fact that you can also set off for a one-way cruise in Croatia is profiled in the article titled Do You Want to Enjoy Croatia to the Max? Set off for a one-way cruise from Trogir to Dubrovnik! Of course, our colleagues from Umbrella Yacht or directly from the Croatian charter company Baotić Yacht Charter help our clients to make their travel plans.
