Indigo Star I
- 38m | Siar & Moschini | 1995 (2018)
This stunning 38m was built by Siar & Moschini and is the epitome of stylish living, having been elegantly refitted in 2018.
Boasting one of the biggest salons of any yacht her size, Indigo Star I offers a myriad of different lounging areas both inside and on deck, which are perfect for relaxing and entertaining, as well as two al fresco dining options. The yacht also features a bespoke cinema room for laidback film screenings.
Across her four decks, the interior benefits from a unique and funky design with bold animal prints, monochrome tones and black lacquer furniture lending a distinctly boutique hotel vibe to the setting.
Sleeping 10 guests across five comfortable en suite staterooms, the Maltese-flagged Indigo Star I relies on her knowledgeable and experienced crew of seven to ensure that guests will want for nothing and enjoy an idyllic escape from reality.
The Captain
Kicking off his studies at the Marine High School in Zadar, the highly experienced Captain Ante Bazdaric later graduated from the University of Maritime Affairs in Rijeka, Croatia. Spending almost six years as a deck officer on cargo ships and tankers, he later went on to work as chief mate and captain on privately-owned 18m, 36m and 46m motor yachts.
Captain Bazdaric joined Indigo Star I in 2015 for her cruise around the world, and since then he has travelled to many incredible destinations with her owner and his family. Stepping up to captain in March 2022, his organisational skills, team spirit and ability to adapt to different cultural environments are second to none!
The Experience
If you’re looking for a sleek craft with creature comforts both inside and out, Indigo Star I is sure to fit the bill.
Her highly individual and stylised interior is evident from the moment you arrive, from the indulgent brocade cushions on the deck banquette to the generously proportioned avant-garde main salon with monochrome animal prints and black lacquer furniture contrasting against a white ceiling and large windows.
A rococo style dining room is characterised by opulent velvet seating, a glass dining table and modern artwork while the upper salon is furnished with white sofas and eye-catching purple leather club-style armchairs. A moody-hued and spacious master stateroom features a king size bed, cosy salon sofa seating as well as a dedicated office space and classically designed panelled bathroom.
Further staterooms include a VIP suite with dark polished wood accents, two snug double staterooms with queen size beds and a generous sized twin stateroom.
An enviable selection of water toys including a Sea Doo jet ski, a fly board with jet ski control, two doughnuts, a banana, water skis, wakeboard, three SeaBobs, five sets of scuba diving gear and a Zodiac tender are at the guests’ disposal.
The Cuisine
Chef Marjan Tomasic heads up the galley on Indigo Star I, where his expertise with Mediterranean cusine - among many others - is sure to impress.
Discovering his passion at a young age, Marjan held a number of honorary, seasonal and permanent jobs both during and after school where he developed a strong work ethic and positive approach to new challenges. Furthering his culinary skills at a notable restaurant before heading on board, he is always up for creating new recipes, and often discusses his ideas with the rest of the crew to ensure his dishes are world class.
A typical dinner menu kicks things off with appetizers of tuna tartare infused with sundried tomatoes and arugola, octopus salad with roasted vegetables, scallops with roasted asparagus or puff pastry rolls with pesto and red peppers.
As for the mains, guests can expect the likes of grilled sea bass with lemon puree, vegan pasta with pulled chunks in white wine and soy sauce, Beef wellington or fettuccine ala fruti di mare.
Be sure to save room for dessert, though - you won't taste anything much more spectacular than Chef Marjan's lava cake with chesnut semifredo - although his panna cotta with sweet and sour berry sauce comes close.
