Private Yacht Charter from Zadar — no party boat, no strangers on board
With Soraya you charter the Sunseeker Manhattan 52 exclusively for your own group — with an experienced skipper, without any boat-licence requirement, and without strangers coming on board. The base is Marina Dalmacija in Sukošan near Zadar, from where the cruising grounds of Kornati, Dugi Otok, Ugljan/Pašman and Šibenik/Krka lie within day-trip range.
The unoccupied niche: private, not a fleet
The yacht-charter market in northern Dalmatia is heavily geared towards bareboat fleets and cabin charters with changing crew. Soraya takes the other path: one fixed yacht, one dedicated skipper, one closed group. You share the deck, cabins and saloon with no one but the people you have invited yourself.
Who it is for
Couples seeking a calm, romantic setting. Families with children who need a sheltered, predictable day without strangers on board. Small company groups wanting a discreet setting for conversation or an incentive. Common to all is the wish to remain among themselves on board.
What “no party boat” really means
No loudspeaker soundtrack for other groups, no rigidly timed party schedule, no changing occupancy from trip to trip. The day is shaped around your group and agreed individually with the skipper — quiet bays rather than booze-cruise routes.
The yacht: Sunseeker Manhattan 52 “Soraya”
17.86 m in length, two MAN diesel engines with 1,600 hp combined, full air conditioning, a large bathing platform and two guest cabins (a VIP double bed plus a cabin with bunk beds). On an overnight charter up to 4 guests travel; on day trips up to 9 guests plus crew.
Cruising grounds from Sukošan
From Marina Dalmacija you reach Kornati National Park, Dugi Otok with Sakarun and Telašćica, the islands of Ugljan and Pašman as well as Šibenik and Krka National Park — freely combinable depending on charter length and weather.
