About Crewed Power Catamaran BY MY SIDE
BY MY SIDE is a 2024 Aquila 54 power catamaran purpose-built for discerning charterers seeking spacious, stable cruising through Croatia's Adriatic. Four double cabins with private ensuite facilities accommodate eight guests across a thoughtfully planned layout that prioritises both privacy and social flow. Teak interiors, quality fabrics, and a raised saloon create an understated elegance that lets the Croatian coastline remain the focal point.
Deck spaces reward different moods. The aft platform hosts an intimate dining and lounge area ideal for sunset aperitifs overlooking Dalmatian anchorages. The flybridge offers panoramic sightlines and dedicated seating for champagne and conversation. Forward sun beds provide a tranquil bow perch for morning swims and Mediterranean light. Throughout, the catamaran hull delivers the stability and shallow-draft access that twin-hulls provide, essential for navigating Croatian archipelago passages.

The Charter Experience
Captain Mateo leads a crew committed to safety, cultural immersion, and genuine hospitality. With seven years' maritime experience and expertise in vessel mechanics, he shapes itineraries around your preferences, anchoring near Dubrovnik's historic ramparts, Mljet's protected waters, or Vis's unspoiled coves. Cook and Stewardess Nikolija elevates each meal through Dalmatian culinary traditions and artful presentation. Her signature Wine & Paint evenings blend local vintages, sunset light, and creative collaboration into memorable rituals that anchor your voyage beyond typical charter service.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week departs Sibenik and sweeps south through the Dalmatian islands, anchoring near Dubrovnik's Old Town, Mljet's saltwater lakes, and the wine-producing slopes of Vis. Days balance structured excursions (snorkeling sites, beach clubs, cultural landmarks) with unstructured anchorage time. Evenings centre on Cook Nikolija's progressive menus paired with Dalmatian wines, punctuated by signature Wine & Paint sessions under full stars. Captain Mateo adjusts wind and swell patterns in real time, always prioritising discovery within comfort.
