About Athasi Yachting
Yacht Brokerage in the Adriatic

Buying a yacht is a major decision—financially, technically, and emotionally. At Athasi Yachting, our role is to guide clients through this process with clarity, structure, and full transparency.

As a yacht brokerage operating across the Adriatic, we support clients from Europe and the USA in making informed decisions—combining market insight, technical understanding, and a highly selective approach to every opportunity.

Our Approach

Our work is defined by alignment of interests, not by volume of listings.

We predominantly support clients on the buyer’s side, helping identify the right vessel, assess real market value, and avoid costly mistakes. At the same time, we operate within the broader yacht brokerage market and facilitate transactions in cooperation with other brokers or directly as part of the sales process when appropriate.

We do not push inventory or promote yachts without conviction. Every recommendation is based on objective evaluation and practical experience.

What We Do

We provide full-service yacht brokerage and advisory support, including:

Market analysis and vessel shortlisting
Real price benchmarking and negotiation support
Coordination of surveys and sea trials
Technical and financial due diligence
Contract and documentation management
Guidance on ownership structure and VAT considerations
Registration, delivery, and post-purchase support

Our goal is to ensure a structured, transparent, and well-managed process from first search to final handover—and beyond.

Regional Expertise

We primarily operate in Croatia, Slovenia, and Northern Italy, with strong presence across the Adriatic region.

Our work is supported by direct relationships with marinas, shipyards, brokers, and surveyors, as well as practical understanding of local regulatory and transactional frameworks.

This regional focus allows us to provide advice grounded in real market conditions—not assumptions.

Who We Work With

We work with both first-time buyers and experienced yacht owners.

Regardless of experience level, our approach remains consistent:

Independent advice
Objective evaluation
Clear communication
Confidence throughout the entire process

Damjan Planinc Director, Yacht Broker & Consultant

I have been involved in yachting, sailing, and boating since the age of seven, building a lifelong understanding of vessels, their construction, and their real-world performance.

I bring strong technical knowledge of yacht construction and build quality across different manufacturers. I am familiar with varying production standards, materials, and engineering solutions, as well as with typical hidden faults that can occur in both new and pre-owned yachts.

This allows me to assess not only how a yacht looks, but how it is built, how it will age, and what ownership risks may not be immediately visible.

Backed by a law degree, I provide clients with clear guidance on contracts, ownership structures, and transactional risks—ensuring that every aspect of the purchase is properly understood and managed.

I approach yacht brokerage with a simple principle: independent thinking, objective advice, and full alignment with the client’s interests.

Independent advice. Zero conflict. One interest: yours.
