BY MY SIDE's layout is a standout among catamarans — a stylish bar links the saloon to the back deck, and the master cabin sits forward on the bow with sweeping sea views. The interior styling is genuinely special, with design touches you'd expect on a much bigger yacht. She also cruises at a brisk 15 knots, among the fastest in her class, and carries a generous tender.

A recent guest put it best: "Everything was wonderful — the boat, the crew, the food, the route we took in Croatia. Ivana, Mateo and Lukas were really nice with us. Ivana cooked delicious meals and she is a sunshine!" Sailing Croatia with a crew who look after you like family is exactly what makes a trip like this stay in your heart. If you're dreaming of your own Croatian charter, let's plan it together.

June 2026 — a family of five spent a superb week aboard By My Side on a round-trip Split itinerary. They're repeat clients who came back knowing exactly what they wanted, and the boat and her crew met every expectation. If you're weighing a Croatian charter out of Split, I'm glad to talk through what these guests loved and whether she's the right fit for your dates.
