Bellini Yacht on the Adriatic: Italian Design, Backed by Local Expertise
Choosing a yacht is about more than selecting a model, engine package or interior finish. It is also about choosing the people who will guide the purchase, prepare the yacht for delivery and remain available long after the handover.
As the exclusive Bellini Yacht dealer for Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro, Croatia Yachting brings the contemporary Astor range to the Adriatic together with a complete local ownership service. Buyers can explore the models, configure their yacht, arrange delivery and commissioning, and receive ongoing technical support through one experienced regional partner.
This means that Bellini's Italian design is supported by people who understand the waters, marinas, regulations and practical realities of yacht ownership in the Adriatic.
An Italian boatbuilding story dating back to 1960
Bellini Yacht is a contemporary brand with more than sixty years of heritage behind it.
The Bellini story began in 1960 on Lake Iseo, where Battista Bellini started building boats. During the following decades, the family developed exceptional expertise in traditional craftsmanship, woodworking, finishing and the restoration of classic Riva boats.
In 2023, the family returned to new yacht construction. The modern Bellini Yacht range was developed with the involvement of Norberto Ferretti and designer Brunello Acampora of Victory Design, combining generations of Italian craftsmanship with a new, contemporary design direction. The result is the Astor range: yachts defined by clean lines, intelligent use of space and a close relationship with the sea.
A quieter and more considered form of luxury
Bellini does not approach luxury through unnecessary decoration or excess.
Its design philosophy focuses on rational proportions, carefully selected materials and spaces that work naturally throughout the day. The yachts are distinctive without needing to be ostentatious. Walkaround decks make movement around the yacht simple. Fold-down terraces bring guests closer to the water. Social spaces can be adapted for dining, relaxing or sunbathing, while the interiors maintain the same controlled and coherent design language.
It is an approach particularly well suited to the Adriatic, where days on board often move between cruising, swimming, dining at anchor and entering smaller coastal marinas.
Discover the Bellini Astor range
The Astor family currently extends from an open 36-foot walkaround to a 68-foot yacht designed for extended cruising. Although each model has a different purpose, they share the same visual identity and focus on open-air living.
Astor 36: the founding model
The Bellini Astor 36 introduces the essential design characteristics of the range in an agile 11.30-metre walkaround.
Its uninterrupted deck, fold-down side terraces and adaptable aft dinette create an unusually generous outdoor living area for a yacht of this size. Below deck, two cabins provide accommodation for four guests, making the Astor 36 suitable for both day cruising and comfortable overnight stays.
It is an attractive choice for owners looking for a stylish and manageable yacht for exploring islands, bays and coastal towns.
Astor 38: more space and greater versatility
The Astor 38 develops the successful concept of the Astor 36 with greater length, an expanded aft platform and more volume below deck.
The enlarged aft cabin can accommodate two separate beds, while the forward cabin features a queen bed. Owners can choose between inboard petrol or diesel engines and twin outboards, including a powerful Volvo Penta D6 380 hp diesel option.
With more room for guests and equipment, the Astor 38 is designed for owners who want the freedom of an open walkaround combined with more substantial overnight capability.
Astor 58: a complete walkaround sport cruiser
At 18 metres, the Astor 58 takes Bellini's open-deck philosophy into the sport-cruiser category.
It provides three cabins and three bathrooms, accommodation for up to eight guests and extensive outdoor living areas. Fold-down terraces transform the stern at anchor, while a tender garage keeps equipment stored out of view.
Twin Volvo Penta IPS drives with joystick control support comfortable cruising and easier manoeuvring in marinas.
The Astor 58 is suited to owners who want to spend longer periods on board without losing the open, social character of the smaller Astor models.
Astor 68: Bellini at its fullest scale
The Astor 68 extends the range across three deck levels, including a sundeck with its own helm station.
Its accommodation can include a full-beam owner's suite, a VIP suite, additional guest cabins and separate crew quarters. Hydraulic stern terraces create an expansive platform at sea level, while the interior and cockpit are connected through large openings designed to reduce the boundary between inside and outside.
It is a yacht created for owners seeking greater autonomy, privacy and comfort for longer Adriatic cruising.
Which Bellini model is right for you?
The right Astor model depends on how the yacht will be used.
The Astor 36 and Astor 38 are particularly suitable for day cruising, island hopping and occasional overnight stays. The Astor 58 offers the accommodation and storage required for longer journeys, while the Astor 68 provides the volume, privacy and crew facilities expected from a larger luxury yacht. Our role is not simply to present specifications. Croatia Yachting helps each client compare layouts, propulsion options, equipment packages, intended cruising areas and ongoing ownership requirements before selecting a model.
The objective is to configure a yacht around the owner's real lifestyle, rather than simply adding options to a standard specification.
Make your Bellini personal through Mea
Every Bellini can be personalised through the Mea program.
Owners can work with Bellini's designers and the Croatia Yachting team to select hull colours, finishes, upholstery, fabrics, woods, stones, metals and detailed stitching. The program can even include the creation of a distinctive onboard scent.
Rather than offering disconnected decorative upgrades, Mea approaches the yacht as one complete composition. Each material and colour is selected to work with the overall Bellini design language.
Croatia Yachting guides the client through this process, coordinates the selections with the shipyard and follows the project from the initial consultation until the completed yacht reaches the Adriatic.
Why the choice of dealer matters
Ordering a yacht is only the beginning of ownership.
Before delivery, numerous practical matters must be coordinated, including technical specifications, documentation, registration, transport, commissioning, insurance and the selection of a suitable berth.
After delivery, owners need access to qualified service, maintenance planning, warranty assistance and people who can respond locally when support is required.
Croatia Yachting provides Bellini clients with one regional point of contact throughout this complete process.
Local sales consultation and sea trials
Clients can discuss the Astor range directly with a specialist team that understands both Bellini yachts and their intended use on the Adriatic.
Private viewings and sea trials can be arranged, allowing prospective owners to experience the yacht's handling, deck layout and onboard atmosphere before making a final decision.
Configuration and ordering
We help owners select the model, propulsion system, equipment and personalization package that best suits their plans.
Our team coordinates the order with Bellini Yacht and follows the project through production, keeping the owner informed at every important stage.
Delivery and commissioning
The yacht can be commissioned, technically inspected, sea-trialled and prepared for handover locally.
The same regional team that manages the purchase can therefore remain involved when the yacht arrives and enters service.
Registration and documentation
Croatia Yachting can support owners with registration, legal documentation and other administrative requirements connected with purchasing and operating a yacht.
This is particularly valuable for international buyers who intend to keep their yacht in Croatia or elsewhere on the Adriatic.
Berthing support
Finding the right home marina can be one of the most challenging parts of yacht ownership in Croatia.
With offices and operational experience along the Croatian coast, Croatia Yachting can advise clients on suitable marinas, locations and available berthing solutions based on the yacht's size and the owner's preferred cruising area.
After-sales service and warranty support
Croatia Yachting operates its own service centre in Marina Kaštela and has a dedicated after-sales team for maintenance and warranty assistance.
This means that the relationship does not end once the yacht is delivered. Owners have a local team that already understands their yacht, its specification and its service history.
More than two decades of Adriatic experience
Croatia Yachting has operated in the region since 2004 and has developed extensive experience in yacht sales, charter operations, commissioning and after-sales support.
The company has delivered more than 420 yachts, represents eight premium yacht brands and operates through a network of offices and service locations along the Croatian coast, with an additional presence in Belgrade through Yachting One.
This combination of sales expertise, operational infrastructure and local market knowledge is what makes Croatia Yachting more than a sales intermediary.
For Bellini clients, it provides continuity: the people who help select and order the yacht are connected to the people who commission, service and support it.
Bellini, at home on the Adriatic
Bellini yachts bring together Italian craftsmanship, contemporary design and an open style of living that feels naturally suited to the Adriatic.
Croatia Yachting adds the regional knowledge and long-term support required to turn that design into a complete ownership experience.
Whether you are considering the agile Astor 36, the more spacious Astor 38, the sport-cruising Astor 58 or the flagship Astor 68, our team can prepare a detailed proposal based on your preferred configuration, intended use and delivery schedule.
