ADRIATA
Motor yacht anchored in a Croatian cove at sunset
MMXXVI · MEDITERRANEAN & BEYOND

The sea, kept
in confidence.

Forty summers spent learning the quiet harbours of the Mediterranean. A small fleet, a smaller guest list, and a season chartered entirely for you.

— The Maison
Dallas, since 1987

A house of the sea,
not of the season.

Adriata is a small, family-held maison founded in Dallas four decades ago by a former naval architect and his daughter. We do not advertise. We do not list. Our guests find us by introduction.

— Aboard

Crystal, teak,
and unhurried hours.

A private chef from Le Bernardin. A sommelier who knows every grower in Provence. A tender always ready for the swim cove you spotted from the flybridge. Nothing is offered as a package — everything is arranged, quietly, for you.

  • Private chef & sommelier aboard each vessel
  • Master captain with twenty Mediterranean seasons
  • Discreet introductions ashore — restaurants, vintners, dive masters
  • Bespoke itinerary, drawn for your week alone
— Cruising Grounds

From the Istrian peninsula
to the gates of Montenegro.
