Bootscharter in Kroatien · Excess 14 in Pula / Tehnomont Marina Veruda — “Lydia III” — (2025)

Pula's position at the southern tip of Istria makes it the perfect launchpad for exploring two distinct sailing zones in one week. From Tehnomont Marina Veruda, you can work north toward the Venetian islands and Rovinj, or south into the sheltered archipelago of Dalmatia—Lydia III gives you both options without compromise. Built in 2025, this Excess 14 catamaran sleeps 12 across six cabins with four dedicated bathrooms, so families and groups avoid the squeeze of traditional monohull charters. The twin hulls deliver genuine advantages: near-zero heel when anchored means drinks stay level and children move safely around deck, while the 1.3-meter draft lets you anchor in bays and approach beaches that larger yachts cannot reach. Below decks, the saloon spans the full beam between the hulls, creating natural light and generous headroom for meals and evening gatherings. The galley and heads are thoughtfully placed, and the cockpit remains the heart of sailing—spacious enough for the whole crew to move freely when tacking through island channels. On deck, wide trampolines stretch between the bows, a genuine bonus for sunbathing and swimming stops. The foredeck offers solid ground for sail handling without the tippy feel of a narrower platform. Bareboat from Pula means you navigate without a skipper's schedule, anchoring where conditions suit you and discovering coves on your own timeline. For a week of unrushed cruising with room for everyone, Lydia III balances comfort with practical seamanship.
