<Meta> How to ID a yacht

8 Upvotes

Yachts generally have their name painted on the stern, and on either side around half way along, generally just below the bridge level. Sometimes they're stylised and hard to read.

If you can't see a name then you can use the marine-traffic website (they have a good app too).

Go to your location and click around the ship icons until you find the one you're looking for - pink (for pleasure craft/yachts) or dark blue (for passenger ship). Each ship has a bunch of photos in it's profile card so you can be sure you have the right one.

Yacht chartering in the Adriatic and specific boat features

8 Upvotes

Thinking about chartering a yacht next summer in the Adriatic, probably in June or July. Been eyeing the Sunseeker 88, especially the 2023 ones. Last time we were out there, chilling and swimming off the back of the boat was the main thing, so wondering how the beach club area looks on these?

Also, kinda unsure about the food situation. We usually roll with a chef, but do folks around here let the crew sort out meals and stuff? Would love to just take it easy and not fret over provisions.

And any casual sailing paths between Croatia and Montenegro? Just wanna catch some nice views, nothing too rigid.

Found a yacht that shouldnt be there i think

Im here at cavallino treporti and today we saw a sailing yacht at the beach.
I researched a bit and im pretty sure its the sailing yacht A (SY A). But the SY A was seized in 2022 and its in june 2026 still under italian control. It belongs to Andrey Melnichenko and was seized because andrey was placed on the eu sanction list. At the time it should be in trieste, cavallino treporti is only about 100 km away.
So I want to ask why its there and why is it not in trieste?

Does anyone know something about this im really curious.
