ABOUT YACHT

VOYAGE (previously known as BLUE EYES) is a modern take on a traditional design and has delighted all who have had the opportunity to sail with her over the course of the past 10 years. She is maintained in first class condition by a crew of eight dedicated individuals and is an excellent choice for a luxurious yacht vacation. A very popular charter yacht available in the waters of Aegean, the Mediterraneran or the Adriatic, VOYAGE is renowned for comfort, safety and performance

If you are seeking a memorable sail along the gorgeous Adriatic coasts of Croatia and Montenegro, this superbly handcrafted 112-foot motor sailing ketch, built to rigorous standards by her European owner, is unique. The interior of VOYAGE perfectly complements the traditional gulet design and is so roomy and luxurious that you will soon feel right at home.

VOYAGE offers comfortable accommodation for up to ten guests in five luxuriously appointed cabins, each carefully crafted in African mahogany. The warmth of mahogany contrasts beautfully with the soft furnishings. The aft master stateroom, full-width and appealing has large windows that admit abundant light as well as a superb view. The master has two ensuites, one of which offers a deep tub. In the stern section of the yacht is one twin cabin which ideally suits the smallest members of the party, or two friends, as well as a spacious double VIP cabin. Forward of the saloon, are a twin cabin and a double cabin, also designed to offer plenty of space for storage and an attractive and very spacious ensuite.

VOYAGE is a quiet haven... and she is also a party boat -- whichever takes your preference. There are no rules. You are free to relax, let go and let the mood take you. If it is a quiet cruising experience you seek, the yacht has much to offer: carefree leisure time either inside the elegant deck saloon, where you can linger over a five course meal prepared for you by a master chef or outside, where you can lounge on the shaded aft deck cushions or lay in the sun around the Jacuzzi and relax. Take a break from sun on a comfortable sofa while reading, listening to music or watching one of hundreds of popular movies that make up the yacht's own collection.

If it's a high-energy occasion you seek, there is an endless array of options from which to chooseand the blues of the Adriatic Sea provide the perfect backdrop for swimming, snorkeling, water-skiing, jet-skiing and sea kayaking. In addition, the yacht has a pedal-board, a kneeboard, a wakeboard and more. Oh, and let's not forget the sailing! BLUE EYES is breathtaking under sail!

At the end of the day, a satellite TV, game boards, and your favorite music piped up and onto the deck will add to the atmosphere as your crew go about preparing the cabins for guests to turn in.
