Gulet Lotus was built in 2006 by Huzur Yat - one of the finest Turkish shipyards when it comes to luxury yachts building. This boutique gulet was built for a private owner, a passionate wealthy sailor who decided to sell it in 2018, as he couldn’t find enough time in his busy schedule to enjoy on his beloved yacht. During 12 years of his ownership, the main engine of the yacht had less than 300 working hours.
In August 2018, the yacht was purchased by the Croatian owner to be introduced as a new entry to the luxury yacht charter market in Croatia for the season 2019.
Gulet Lotus comprises a stylish interior, two (out of total 4) impressive cabins, sleek exterior lines, and serious sailing equipment which ensures proper sailing experience onboard.
Let us walk you through the interior of the yacht first: entering from the aft you are stepping into the spacious salon, designed to be a perfect relaxation zone – your living room at the sea. On your left is the lounge area with a coffee table, opposite to it is TV; in front of the lounge area is inside the steering place while in the right front corner is the inside table. All fabrics are of high quality, interior wood is cherry, and large panoramic windows around the salon are ensuring plenty of natural light and an airy atmosphere.
The moment you step on board this magnificent yacht, relaxation and chilling seem as inevitable, if not the only possible attitude to the world around you.
Down the stairs from the salon, to the aft – in its separate area Master cabin is placed. Island bed in the middle of the cabin which takes side-to-side width. Sofa on one side, working-or-vanity table on the other side, walk-in closet, TV and minibar, all dressed in rich cherry wood clearly shows that the interior was inspired with the Ottoman style, providing that special sophisticated atmosphere that radiates with elegant serenity and take-your-time philosophy.
Stepping down the stairs from the salon to the front area of the yacht you will visit 3 other cabins: one double bed, one twin bed – one opposite to another, and in the very front: a VIP cabin; also stretching from side to side, with plenty of wardrobe space, TV and minibar.
Ok, so we’ve finished the interior walk, let’s go up to the deck and start the exterior tour from the aft: here Lotus offers an area for relaxation and al-fresco dining; aft mattresses, spacious dining table with chairs around it, all covered (shaded) by tent construction.
The front deck is definitely an area for the sun lovers during the day - as we mentioned, Lotus will provide an excellent sailing experience, therefore this area is not covered with a tent or awning as sun protection. Still, at the sunset time, this is probably the best area to spend this time of the day as Zen moments are assured to everyone comfortably lying on those mattresses.
Upper deck or sun deck or flybridge; you are invited to join the captain while he is steering from this position – there is a cocktail table and shaded lounge area for you. Or perhaps you want to enjoy it in privacy – so the captain will move to steering place in the salon.
Luxury gulet Lotus offers to her guests a wide range of entertainment as she is well supplied with water sports equipment.

Guest Reviews
August 2025
“It is difficult to express the week we spent together, your lovely country was by far our best family vacation! The weather was incredible (we got lucky), the amazing sea, the islands, but more importantly, your kindness, food, and the incredible crew. We will never forget this week. It was the best way of celebrating Mariana’s birthday. ¡GRACIAS TOTALES!“

“5 Stars across the board!
Our 7 days on the Lotus were an unbelievable experience. The food on the boat was over the top and the recommendations when we chose to dine ashore were excellent. Cannot say enough good things about Roko & his crew; polite, friendly, fun and extremely professional. Croatia & the Dalmatian coast were beautiful, I would not hesitate to recommend a charter on the Lotus with Roko & his staff.“

BROKERS' FEEDBACK 2025:
“Lotus was looking great—very clean and tidy. The new en-suites were particularly lovely: bright and modern. Roko mentioned he’d recently refitted the panels above the dining table, and they looked really good. First impressions of the crew were fantastic—they were all smiley, warm, friendly, and welcoming. The whole crew was smart and presentable throughout. Onboard, the atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable from the start, thanks to the excellent crew who worked really well together as a team. They were professional, attentive, and made me feel completely at home. Roko was fab—very interactive and attentive. Jure, the chef, was also fantastic and very personable—not to mention talented! Daniella was brilliant; her confidence and enthusiasm stood out, and her service noticeably improved during the fam trip with guidance from Andjela. Branco is quieter but consistently polite and helpful. I think Daniella has all the makings of a great stew onboard. Lotus itself has a great layout with well-designed living spaces—the aft daybed is spacious, and the flybridge sundowner area is a lovely bonus. Details like robes and slippers really elevate the guest experience, and the interiors strike a nice balance between traditional and modern—nothing too flashy, just right.”
“I’d say Lotus was a solid 9 out of 10. Easily the best gulet out of the three we saw on the fam trip—newest, sleekest, highest quality. The deck areas and salon were in great condition, and overall, it stood out from the fleet. My first impression of the crew was very good. Roko is a great captain— excellent with guests and a strong communicator. Danijela, once we got to spend more time with her, was very present and engaging, especially on the later nights when drinks were flowing. Her English was excellent, and she was quick with jokes, better than most crew I've come across, honestly. The chef was a lovely guy, and the one dinner I experienced onboard was very good. I also heard from others that their meal was amazing. The young deckhand seemed very nice and professional, too, even though they’re harder to evaluate as they mostly work behind the scenes. The standout for me, though, is the woodwork—the craftsmanship is exceptional. As someone who knows gulets well, I’d say Lotus might have the best woodwork I’ve seen in Croatia. It’s not just well-maintained, it’s built well, which sets it apart from many others in the region.”
“Overall, I thought the yacht was excellent—very detailed and well- presented. Clean, stylish, and made a great impression. The crew were welcoming and friendly straight away. Roco is a really cool guy. He brings a great vibe to the boat and carries that energy through the whole crew. He’s the king of Lotus. The service was good, the food was tasty, and I’m confident guests would have a great time onboard. The cabins stood out— especially the master and VIP, they’re awesome. The flybridge is a great space, and overall, the atmosphere onboard is just spot-on. For me, it’s the best ‘all rounder’—I’d happily recommend Lotus to clients and other brokers.”

Amazing vacation with lots of great memories!
Amazing vacation on Lotus. Lotus is a beautiful boat. Two master staterooms, beautifully decorated. One cabin with full bed one with twin bed all with their own bathroom. Shaded dining on back of boat. Gorgeous salon. Boat has waverunner, kayak, paddle board, ski’s, tube, snorkeling gear. We can not say enough about the Captain, Roko and crew, Josipa, Marin, and Jure. Jure is the chef and we had the most amazing meals, we will probably need to be rolled home. Full breakfast, lunch, and dinner, great wines. We asked Roko to take us to some private coves and also took his suggestions on ports. Every spot seemed better than the next. I also want to say that every person we came into contact with told us what an amazing human Roko is, we definitely concur!!! We have so enjoyed getting to know Roko and his crew. Thanks to them for an amazing vacation with lots of great memories. We cannot recommend highly enough!!!

A fixed APA of 3,000 € is suggested to cover additional costs not included in the charter fee, such as the mentioned extra costs, shipping agents' fees, customs fees, and any special services or activities requested by the Charter Party during the charter. The APA simplifies the payment process for extra costs, ensuring the client doesn't need to worry about bringing or managing cash at the end of the week. Any unused portion of the APA will be refunded to the Charterer after the charter. If expenses exceed the fixed amount, any additional costs will be settled directly with the captain on board. The APA is optional, but if the client chooses not to pay it, they must ensure they have sufficient cash to cover all expenses at the end of the week.
NOTE: Gratuities/tips for the crew are not included, the industry’s standard is 10% to 15% of the base charter rate, given at the Charterer’s discretion.
OPTION REQUESTS POLICY
OPTION REQUEST
An option is placed only upon explicit written request and is valid until a clearly specified date and time, which will be communicated in our confirmation email.
We do not notify brokers when an option has expired or when a yacht is no longer available (e.g., placed under option or booked).
We do not accept multiple options for the same client across different yachts simultaneously.
PEAK SEASON POLICY: “First Come, First Served”
Due to high demand during peak booking season, we may apply a “first come – first served” policy. In these cases:
Options are placed only when the client accepts the charter offer and requests the charter contract.
The intent is to finalize the booking (have the charter agreement signed and the deposit paid) within the 2–3 day option window.
This ensures fair opportunity for all clients and encourages prompt decision-making.
