Introduction
Last season, a carefully selected group of top brokerage professionals embarked on an exclusive familiarisation (fam) trip aboard the splendid One Blue. Docked along the shimmering waters of Croatia, the yacht greeted them with promisevsleek lines, warm wood interiors and an atmosphere of refined luxury. The aim? To experience firsthand not just the yacht’s features, but the charter‑potential, guest journey and service excellence. What they discovered was a masterclass in modern Italian elegance at sea, where adventure meets understated glamour.
Welcome Aboard One Blue
Built by Oceanline and designed by Frank Mulder, One Blue spans 38.71 metres in length with a beam of 7.54 metres. She accommodates up to 12 guests in a layout comprising 1 Master suite, 1 VIP, 2 Double and 2 Twin cabins, serviced by a seasoned crew of six. Charter rates run from approx. €89,000/week (low season) to €99,000/week (high season) while cruising the Croatian coast.
During the fam trip, the brokers were welcomed by the captain and crew, briefed on the week’s itinerary and immediately absorbed the sense of elegance and polish the yacht exudes. The yacht’s 2025 refit (with a brand‑new flybridge Jacuzzi) impressed immediately, setting the tone for the days ahead.
A Taste of Excellence: Gourmet Dining on Board
One of the standout experiences during the trip was the culinary journey. The brokers were treated to beautifully presented multi‑course meals, thoughtfully paired with wine selections worthy of a Michelin dining room. Dining al fresco on the aft deck as the sun dipped below the Adriatic horizon, and later under the stars in the upper deck lounge, the atmosphere encapsulated luxury in every detail. From fresh local seafood to elegant desserts, the menu reflected the yacht’s dedication to service and craft. The brokers noted the personal touches the way the crew anticipated dietary preferences, offered wine explanations, and delivered with a light but professional presence.
Fun on the Water: Toys, Thrills & Crystal Seas
After breakfast, the yacht’s water‑toy arsenal came alive. Brokers swapped business suits for wetsuits as they enjoyed Seabob rides, jet skis, paddle‑boarding and more thanks to the extensive toy list: 2× jet skis (Seadoo GTX and RXT), Seabob F5S, kayaks, paddleboards and water skis among others. The brand‑new flybridge Jacuzzi became a post‑adventure lounge, with sunbeds and panoramic sea views inviting relaxation. Onboard One Blue, the balance is perfect thrilling sea‑toys for the active, plus refined spaces for relaxation for those who prefer calm. For charter guests, this translates into flexibility: families can split up for action and downtime with ease.
Living the Experience: Luxury Cabins & Interiors
The brokers spent time exploring the cabins and interiors, and much praise was given to the master suite’s split‑level design, large panoramic windows and mosaic‑adorned bathroom a true sanctuary. The VIP cabin and guest doubles/twins also stood out for comfort, modern furnishings and thoughtful layout. Warm wood tones, plush fabrics and a sweeping spiral staircase created a sense of refined elegance throughout. Even minor details lighting control, views, storage options were seen as charter‑ready touches. Feedback included praise for the quietness at anchor, the air‑conditioning, and the “hotel‑style” feel of the guest rooms.
Flybridge Escape & Social Spaces
The flybridge quickly became a favourite among the brokers. A brand‑new Jacuzzi awaited them with a bubble‑filled soak and uninterrupted views of the Adriatic islands. The surrounding sunbed zones and alfresco dining table offered perfect settings for cocktails, networking or informal discussions at sunset. The main deck aft provided communal lounging and dining space, while the indoor salon offered a comfortable retreat for briefings or relaxed gatherings. The layout supports different moods: a lively party, a quiet afternoon read, or an intimate dinner making One Blue versatile for charter guests. The brokers commented that the seamless indoor‑outdoor flow makes the yacht feel larger than her 38 metres suggest.
Smooth Cruising & Performance Review
During the fam trip, the brokers observed and experienced the yacht’s cruising behaviour. At 12 knots she moved effortlessly stable thanks to underway stabilisers and reached over 22 knots when pushed. Coastal runs along Croatia’s picturesque islands reinforced the feeling of smooth, confident performance. Minimal motion, responsive helm, comfortable guest areas even in modest seas gave the brokers confidence in the yacht’s operational readiness. For future charter clients, this means comfort both at anchor and on the move, a feature that the brokers repeatedly highlighted.
