About Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht IVA
IVA is a Ferretti 960 built to balance refined comfort with genuine ease. Five cabins accommodate ten guests across three double and two convertible twin configurations, each outfitted for the kind of privacy and rest that matters after days spent exploring Montenegro and Croatia's most compelling anchorages. The yacht's layout encourages both social gathering and quiet retreat, with open deck spaces that anchor each day and staterooms that finish it well.
What separates a week aboard IVA from routine charter experience is the consistency of her crew. Captain Zdravko Buha, with over a decade of hands-on yachting expertise, leads a five-person team selected for both competence and restraint. Chef Milos Tomanovic trained in world-class hotel kitchens at Regent Porto Montenegro and Regent Berlin, and brings that precision to menus that shift between formal multi-course service and relaxed family-style dining depending on where you are anchored and what the day calls for. Chief Stewardess Dragana Backovic and her team maintain the kind of service that feels attentive without hovering. Deckhand Mirko Nikolic manages water activities, watertoy logistics, and social timing with the natural rhythm of someone who has spent years reading rooms and guests alike.

The Charter Experience
A week in these waters typically unfolds from Portonovi or similar departure points, threading through Montenegro's deep bays and into Croatia's Adriatic coast. Your route remains flexible by design. The crew handles reservations, timing, and local knowledge, leaving you free to linger when a cove feels right, press on when conditions favour it, or pivot entirely toward whatever draws you that morning. Days build around your preferences, whether that means underwater exploration, visits to stone-built coastal towns, food-led stops at local restaurants, or simply anchoring in silence. The Adriatic's geography ensures no two days feel identical, and the crew's familiarity with these specific regions means better timing, better local access, and better understanding of what makes each area distinctive.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical seven-day itinerary departs from Portonovi and flows between Montenegro's striking anchorages—deep-water bays framed by steep shorelines—before crossing into Croatia's northern Adriatic. Sample stops include the quiet inlets near Perast, the sheltered waters around Lopud and the Elafiti Islands, and the historical harbour towns along the Dalmatian coast. Days balance water time, coastal exploration, and leisurely passages, with evening dining rotating between anchored dining under stars and waterside restaurants in small ports. The crew refines timing and routing in real time based on weather, your energy, and what the moment suggests.
