When you imagine the perfect motor yacht for exploring Croatia’s sun-drenched Adriatic coastline, the Swift Trawler 42 “Skitnica” is the kind of boat that comes to mind — reliable, comfortable, and full of timeless charm. Anchored at Marina Zadar, this beautiful trawler is ready to take you on a journey that blends vintage character with the comfort of a floating holiday home.
A Trusted Classic with a Story to Tell
Built in 2005 by the renowned Bénéteau shipyard, “Skitnica” isn’t just another yacht in our fleet — it’s a boat with a story. While newer yachts might boast the latest gadgets, few can match the cozy character and proven reliability of the Swift Trawler 42. Powered by twin Yanmar 370 HP engines, she cruises smoothly at 16 knots and is capable of reaching speeds up to 23 knots, making island hopping a breeze.
A Home Away from Home
Step onboard, and you’ll feel the inviting atmosphere right away. The Swift Trawler 42 is designed for guests who want to feel truly at home at sea. Two spacious cabins with comfortable double beds, a bright and airy salon with a convertible lounge for two more guests, and two well-equipped bathrooms with showers mean you’ll have everything you need for a relaxing stay. Up to six people can sleep comfortably on board — perfect for families, couples, or a small group of friends.
Spacious Living, Inside and Out
Life on “Skitnica” flows effortlessly from inside to out. The generous salon and galley are perfect for enjoying a relaxed breakfast before a day of cruising. When the sun is shining (and in Croatia, it often is!), the large sundeck on the bow is the best spot to soak up the rays or read a book in peace. The flybridge offers a beautiful vantage point for taking in Croatia’s famous sunsets, while the spacious cockpit is ideal for dining alfresco or simply watching the world go by.
Ready for Adventure
Despite its classic feel, the Swift Trawler 42 is well-equipped for modern cruising. From a bow thruster for easy maneuvering to a full navigation set including GPS, radar, and autopilot, the yacht makes cruising straightforward, whether you’re exploring nearby islands or heading out to the beautiful Kornati National Park. Entertainment is covered too, with a TV, sound system, and Wi-Fi onboard to keep everyone connected and content.
Everything You Need is Onboard
Your comfort comes first on “Skitnica.” The yacht comes with everything you need for your stay: bed linen, towels, a fully equipped galley, outdoor speakers, and even air conditioning for those hot summer nights. For easy access to the yacht from the dock, “Skitnica” is equipped with a hydraulic gangway, making boarding safe and effortless for guests of all ages. And when it’s time to dive into Croatia’s crystal-clear waters, there’s a convenient swimming ladder and an outside shower to rinse off the salt after a refreshing dip.
Why Choose “Skitnica”?
“Skitnica” is more than just a motor yacht — she’s an invitation to slow down, embrace the sea breeze, and discover Croatia at your own pace. So, if you’re dreaming of a charter that combines comfort, character, and the simple joy of cruising, “Skitnica” might just be your perfect match. Step aboard, feel at home, and let her show you why sometimes, the older boats really do have the most charm.
