From October 7th to 9th, 2024, we had the pleasure of welcoming a select group of charter brokers aboard ANETTA for a Fam Trip, designed to give them an authentic life experience on this beautiful yacht. This laid-back three-day journey through the Adriatic was all about showcasing what makes ANETTA unique—her comfort, style, and the breathtaking destinations she explores—so that our guests can confidently share these experiences with their clients.
Day 1: Brač Island’s Scenic Treasures
The trip kicked off on the morning of October 7th, as guests gathered on the West Coast of Split to board ANETTA. With a warm welcome from the crew, we set sail for the island of Brač, heading towards Bol. Known for the stunning Zlatni Rat beach—a golden pebble stretch consistently ranked among Europe’s best—Bol offered the perfect first stop on our journey. Here, guests enjoyed a relaxed lunch onboard, surrounded by the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic.
After lunch, we headed to STINA Winery, a Brač institution since 1903, where our guests enjoyed a tasting of the island’s renowned wines. The serene atmosphere and rich flavors made it a delightful stop, allowing brokers to unwind and soak in the charm of Brač. As the sun began to set, we continued our journey with a sunset cruise towards Jelsa on Hvar Island, where we anchored for the night and enjoyed a cozy dinner onboard.
Day 2: Hvar’s Natural and Cultural Beauty
The next morning, after a delicious breakfast on deck, our guests geared up for a guided bike tour from Jelsa to the historic town of Stari Grad. This ride offered a unique perspective on Hvar’s landscape, winding through ancient Greek vineyards and olive groves—a heritage that earned Stari Grad its UNESCO World Heritage status in 2008. Meanwhile, ANETTA sailed to meet the group in Stari Grad, where everyone came together for a BBQ lunch on the sundeck prepared by chef Mensur Hadžić.
After an amazing lunch, we continued to Hvar Town, offering plenty of time for our guests to explore at their own pace. the afternoon was all about enjoying Hvar’s laid-back charm. As evening rolled in, we returned to ANETTA for a peaceful night at anchor in a quiet bay near town.
Day 3: A Serene Return to Split
The final day we started with a casual breakfast on deck, allowing everyone to savor the last moments on Hvar. By mid-morning, we set our course back to Split, with ANETTA gliding smoothly across the Adriatic’s calm waters. The stunning views of Split’s historic harbor and Diocletian’s Palace welcomed us back around 1:00 PM, marking the end of a memorable trip. Our guests left with a deeper understanding of the unique experiences ANETTA offers, equipped to share this knowledge with their clients.
Why This Trip Mattered
This Fam Trip wasn’t just about relaxation but about giving brokers a firsthand feel of what makes ANETTA special. By experiencing her comfort, service, and the destinations she visits, they are now better prepared to convey the charm and luxury of a journey aboard ANETTA to potential clients. It was a pleasure for us to create an environment where everyone could unwind, connect, and truly enjoy the essence of the yachting lifestyle.
