The winning bidders’ party of eight will cruise the Adriatic coast aboard the 122’ charter yacht Navilux, an elegant and comfortable vessel with spacious cabins, a Jacuzzi, satellite communications and Wi-Fi. An eight-member crew will cater to your every need, with meals prepared by a private chef using local ingredients from each port. For those who enjoy staying active, the Navilux is equipped with Seabobs, wakeboards, waterskis, kayaks, snorkeling gear and fishing equipment. When it’s time to explore on land, a Yamaha tender and professional ribcraft are available for stylish transport.

The Navilux‘s size allows access to exclusive destinations, including Šipan, known for its wine and relaxed atmosphere; Brač, Dalmatia’s largest island with pristine beaches and olive oil; Hvar, a cultural hub set in a picturesque bay; Korčula, famous for sword dancing and indigenous wines; and Mljet, home to a National Park and Roman palace ruins. Additionally, throughout the journey, you’ll savor delicious Mediterranean meals and discover Croatia’s rich art and culture, which includes over 200 museums, theaters, ten UNESCO World Heritage Sites and a lively contemporary art scene.

For their home cellar, each couple will receive a Magnum of the 2022 Draco Dormiere from Knights Bridge Winery. This striking blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot and Petit Verdot represents the essence of the estate. Multidimensional in every respect, it is a soaring wine that deftly balances decadence and pleasure with a classic structure.

As you explore the wonders of Croatia, you’ll be inspired by knowing that your winning bid helped a new generation of children achieve a better life.
