Description
Built in 2025 by Azimut — one of the world’s most celebrated Italian motor yacht builders — VIVA II is a 26-metre yacht offering a fast, contemporary base for exploring the Croatian coast and the Dalmatian islands.
Accommodation: 5 Staterooms for 10 Guests
The yacht Viva accommodates 10 overnight guests in five en-suite staterooms: a master suite on the main deck, two double staterooms, one twin, and one convertible cabin. The interior is the work of Achille Salvagni Architetti, one of Italy’s most celebrated yacht interior designers, and the exterior lines were drawn by Alberto Mancini. Together they create a yacht that feels refined and spacious well beyond what its length suggests.
The carbon fibre superstructure reduces weight while increasing structural rigidity — a detail that gives the yacht both performance and a lighter, more elegant profile. Full-height windows throughout the main deck flood the salon and cabins with natural light, creating a seamless visual connection to the sea that defines the onboard experience from the moment guests step aboard.
Onboard Amenities & Entertainment
The defining feature of the yacht Viva is the deck2deck™ terrace — Azimut’s signature innovation that raises the transom to the level of the main deck edge, effectively extending the cockpit toward the sea and creating a fluid connection between the living space and the water. On a charter, this translates into easier water access, a more social swim platform, and a sense of openness that conventional aft deck designs cannot replicate.
The flybridge carries sunbeds, a bar, and a lounge area with panoramic views — ideal for mornings at anchor in a sheltered Dalmatian bay or for late-afternoon drinks as the light changes over the islands. The POD propulsion system delivers quiet, low-vibration operation, which matters during long anchorage stays in Croatia’s quieter coves. Cruising speed of 24 knots and top speed of 26 knots make inter-island passages efficient without ever feeling rushed.
Water Toys & Tenders aboard Yacht Viva
The yacht Viva carries a well-chosen selection of water toys suited to Croatia’s clear, sheltered Adriatic waters. Two Seabobs allow guests to explore the rocky underwater edges and reef lines that run along the Dalmatian islands, while a set of paddleboards and snorkelling gear cover the surface and shallow-water options. A wakeboard and inflatable towable complete the package for groups who want more active afternoons at anchor.
The primary tender handles all shore transfers and restaurant runs with ease — keeping the group connected to the coastal towns, beach clubs, and hidden coves that make Croatian chartering so varied from day to day.
Charter Yacht Viva: Destinations & Sample Itinerary
The yacht Viva is based in Croatia and available for charter along the Dalmatian Coast, one of the most celebrated sailing grounds in the Mediterranean. The natural starting point is Split, where guests can arrive directly at the waterfront and explore Diocletian’s Palace and the old town before the yacht heads into the islands.
A first full day leads to the Pakleni Islands just off Hvar — calm anchorages, clear water, and easy access by tender to Hvar town’s restaurants and waterfront. The Yacht viva’s speed makes it easy to cover the Hvar–Korčula passage in a morning, leaving the afternoon free for swimming and exploring Korčula’s medieval old town on foot.
From Korčula, the route continues south to Mljet National Park, with its salt lakes, pine forests, and protected bays — some of the quietest and most scenic anchorages on the entire Dalmatian coast. The charter concludes in Dubrovnik, where the city walls, the Old Harbour, and the terracotta rooftops provide a dramatic and memorable finale for any week aboard the yacht viva.
