R700 000 reward offered for the recovery of a Cape Town couple’s yacht

R700 000 reward offered for the recovery of a Cape Town couple's yacht

A R700 000 reward is currently being offered in connection with the theft of a Cape Town couple’s yacht in Croatia last month. The stolen vessel, named Mischief, is worth more than R13 million. An official report was filed on 15 July, but the yacht has yet to be found.

The Weekend Argus reports that efforts to locate the yacht include a search by Croatian law enforcement, the promise of a reward equal to 5% of the yacht’s value, and involvement from Interpol.

While there were supposed sightings of Mischief in various locations within Greece shortly after its theft, authorities concluded that the provided information did not match the vessel’s features.

‘It’s now exactly a month since she disappeared. We are coming to terms with the fact that we may not get our yacht back. You don’t expect someone to steal a boat. But we are still hopeful,’ Ingrid Hale, co-owner of the yacht, told the Weekend Argus .

The Hales, who had only owned Mischief for a year, had enjoyed two vacation journeys aboard the vessel.

‘We bought her brand new during the COVID-19 pandemic. We chose Croatia because the country is beautiful and the people there are amazing. Our last vacation on the yacht was in June this year.’

A month after their last voyage, a couple chartered Mischief using fraudulent passports and enlisted the services of a Latvian skipper. In a peculiar turn of events, while the skipper was dining ashore, the clients disappeared with the yacht.

The circumstances surrounding the disappearance of Mischief have baffled those involved.

Ingrid Hale remarked, ‘The skipper shouldn’t have left the boat. We were told at some point that it could have been stolen in order to sell it or for high-end immigration.’

Raising suspicions, the clients paid 7 294 euros in cash for the yacht charter and an additional 3 000 euros for insurance.

In retrospect, this should have raised concerns.

‘But in Croatia, it’s easier to charter a boat than to hire a car,’ Hale explained.

The tracking device on the yacht was disassembled and placed in a waterproof container, which was left adrift.

Igor Karmelić, a sales adviser from Croatia Yachting, shed light on the ongoing investigation:

‘What we found out from them is that they held the Latvian skipper for questioning, as he was the one that had initially informed us that the boat was stolen while he was on shore. But they could not prove that he was involved in the theft and eventually let him go after intense questioning.’

Karmelić emphasised that the police had also notified authorities in Mediterranean countries and that search efforts include informing all marina associations in Greece and other relevant locations.

‘We have also used our social media and a large number of subscribers to our newsletters. We have also passed on to the investigators all tips received,’ he added.

Karmelić mentioned that the insurance company had enlisted Marine Claims Service to assist in the search, leveraging their extensive partner network. If Mischief is discovered in satisfactory condition, the insurance firm has pledged a reward equating to 5% of the yacht’s value.

Addressing the rarity of such incidents in Croatia, Karmelić noted, ‘It is the first time that it has happened to us in our 18 years in the charter. Croatia is the world’s biggest charter market, and with all the boats here, it is bound to happen on occasion. Sailing in Croatia and owning a yacht is very safe, and this should be considered an isolated incident.’

However, Ingrid Hale recalled being informed of a similar case where the owners had to wait around 10 months to reclaim their stolen boat.

Karmelić said that Mischief has distinctive features, including a black mast and boom, a fully battened mainsail, a second forestay and a T-shaped deep keel, which would be identifiable when the yacht is in dry dock.

Adriatic coast of croatia - mecca for world sailors.

Today in Croatia 78 charter companies, dispose of more than 1600 boats for the crewed and bareboat charter of which about 1450 modernly equipped sailing boats , mostly Bavaria, Elan, Jeanneau and Beneteau models and around 150 motor yachts.

Most of these companies are united under the Croatian Charter Vessels Group and regularly exhibit on the largest yachting and nautical fairs around the world. The reason for such rapid development lies in a number of advantages that Croatia as a destination has to offer.

Fascinating nature, the long chain of rugged islands of Croatia’s mountainous coast, a lot of abundant anchorages and a stable climate make Croatia a cruising haven with the perfect sailing conditions. For all those keen on privacy or those who prefer untouched nature Croatia offers Mediterranean wild beauty, warm colours with beautiful light, and generous and fragrant vegetation. Its coast alternates cliffs and caves, rocky inlets, fine pebble beaches and majestic bays. Travelling to Croatia is fast and easy, within 2 hours by plane, you can reach it from almost any corner of Europe.

The reasons why people charter a yacht in Croatia can be counted in hundreds, but here are the top 9 reasons why your next vacation should be a yacht charter in Croatia.

9 Reasons to Charter a Yacht in Croatia

1. a huge number of islands.

The Croatian Adriatic coast has a coastline of almost 6000 km, and 66% of this figure belongs to islands and reefs. There are over 1,000 islands and on top of all, only 50 of them are populated and each of them is pretty diverse, so diverse that it is the entire world in itself.

Charming little villages, hidden beaches and bays, rich in culture and history, and Mediterranean charm are only accessible by sea - all of this surely makes for an unforgettable sailing holiday with unlimited possible itineraries.

No wonder Croatia is known as the world’s leading sailing destination!

2. Charter areas in Croatia

From Rovinj to Dubrovnik the widest range of attractive destinations, each with their own magical treasures are waiting to be discovered.

  • North Dalmatia - Zadar region
  • North Dalmatia - Sibenik region
  • Central Dalmatia - Split region
  • South Dalmatia - Dubrovnik region

Yacht charter in Croatia Croatia Yachting

Cruise the Croatian coastline and experience an exciting mix of sailing and open-water challenge. Explore historical cities, ancient ruins, secluded bays and traditional fishing villages while you soak up the spectacular scenery. This is an area of delightful diversity but with one constant, wherever you go you will be greeted with a warm welcome. The first trip to the Adriatic coast and its islands is a journey into the unknown. Every other time you come to visit Croatia you will find it different, but equally breathtaking.

3. Outstanding Nautical Infrastructure

In addition to the 1,000 islands and indented coast, the Adriatic coast of Croatia is also recognized by an extensive nautical infrastructure, making sailing safe and enjoyable at the same time. There are more than 50 marinas in addition to leisure harbours and ports. This means that there are more than 100 amazing locations where one can berth along the Croatian coast. Generally, Croatian marinas are well-designed and positioned in incredible locations, in towns or stunning bays.

Croatian marinas represent important support for the development of nautical tourism. In 50 marinas on the coast, 13.200 moorings in the sea and 4.500 moorings on the land are at disposal throughout the whole year. Only some of these marinas are charter base marinas – you can charter a boat from Pula, Rovinj, Losinj, Zadar, Sukosan, Biograd, Sibenik, Primosten, Trogir, Kastela, Split, Dubrovnik. These bases represent the best choices regarding good highway, airport and railroad connections to the rest of the country and Europe.

4. Sailing Conditions

Croatian sailing season runs from April to November and is quite long. The best period to come to Croatia depends on the kind of vacation that you would like to have. In July and August, periods of calm prevail - ideal for those who like smooth waters for enjoying the summer fun activities and water sports, or relaxed vacation with the family.

Winds are predominantly westerly in the summer (Mistral and Tramontana). If sailing is your primary interest then Croatia is a place for you during the early summer and spring with light to moderate winds in May and June.

September and October will provide you with the right winds to set your sails and trim your jib with prolonged periods of the Bora (strong north wind) and the Scirocco (humid east-southeast wind). While bura and jugo each in their own way offer sailors excitement and challenge, maestral guarantees pure pleasure during which you can give yourself to the sea without fear. Sailing during the winter on the Adriatic is a unique adventure as well, but make sure that you charter a boat with the heating and prepare yourself for possible high winds and rough seas.

Yacht charter in Croatia

2,500+ hours of sunshine every year make Croatia one of the sunniest regions in Europe. The Croatian coast has a Mediterranean climate and which means that summers are hot, and winters are mild. The typical sailing season is from early April to late October while the peak season is in July and August. The less crowded months are June and September while the weather is still predominantly sunny and warm. In April and May (pre-season) and in October (post-season) the weather can be more unstable. You could experience summer temperatures with occasional cold fronts and showers. However, these months are perfect for you if you want peace and quiet and decent sailing winds.

6. Preserved Nature

Croatia is among the most persevered regions in Europe. The slogan of the Croatian Tourist Board has been used for years and is actually “Croatia - the Mediterranean as it once was”. That is one of the reasons why Sailing in Croatia is popular. On most islands, particularly those more isolated from the coast, for instance, Lastovo and Vis, the authentic Mediterranean surroundings are well preserved.

In a relatively small place, Croatia boasts as many as 8 national parks and four of them are situated on the Adriatic coast – Brijuni, Kornati, Krka and Mijet. Out of 11 nature parks, two of them are situated on the Croatian coast - Lastovo Island and Telašica Bay on Dugi Otok Island.

7. Rich History & Culture

Well, crystal clear blue sea and 1,000 islands are not the only thing that Croatia has to offer. It has more than you would expect. Several monuments eyewitness Croatia’s rich history and many of which are classified under the UNESCO World’s Heritage List. There are entire towns and cities that date back to the ancient Greek and the ancient Roman times while the Venetian rule and the later Austro-Hungarian rule also left a beautiful mark on the architecture and visual identity of many coastal towns.

8. Chartering a Yacht in Croatia is Affordable

Yacht charter in Croatia

Contrary to people’s misconceptions, Sailing Croatia's Islands is not only for rich people. In fact, it is truly affordable for anybody who could afford to stay in a hotel for a week.

The prices of sailboats and catamaran charters in Croatia are set per boat and per week. When dividing it by the number of people that the yacht can accommodate, it turns out that it isn’t expensive at all. Moreover, the prices are even lower when you prefer not to travel in the peak season.

In short, if you begin planning beforehand and take advantage of the special offers by companies such as multiple weeks and early booking, then it truly turns out to be one of the most affordable yet luxurious holidays you can ever have.

Of course, you will not stay on board the yacht the entire time, so it is worth mentioning that gastronomy is a major factor in Croatian Tourism and the price-quality ratio is unbeatable. Sure, there are some expensive restaurants as anywhere else in the world, but you will always be able to find a gastronomic delight suitable to your pocket.

9. Mediterranean Cuisine

What’s most exciting about Croatian cuisine is that it’s very heterogeneous and varies with every region. That’s possible due to the geographical location of some areas and the dependency on local ingredients. The cuisine on the Croatian coast is of the Mediterranean type and has an influence of Roman, Greek, French and Italian traditions. The best thing is that it uses unbeatable fresh local produce and an abundance of seafood.

PRESENTING MOTORYACHT MISCHIEF

The 52.45-meter 2006 Baglietto motor yacht MISCHIEF looks better now than the day she launched. This is thanks to a major interior refit.  Recent guests described the remodeled yacht as “…bright and fun, yet luxurious.”

ACCOMMODATIONS

She has a flexible cabin arrangement with space for 12 guests.  The yacht is absolutely ideal for large families.

SPANISH LICENSE

She has a coveted Spanish charter license, a rarity in large yachts!  Motor yacht MISCHIEF is available for Balearic Islands/Ibiza yacht charters in the warm summer months.

REFIT INCLUSIONS

She spent extensive yard time at the Benetti yacht charter facility in Livorno.  Baglietto yacht MISCHIEF left the yard with the completion of a multi-phase interior refurbishment.  First, the yacht received new carpets, a new master bed arrangement, and the conversion of the twin cabins into double cabins. In addition, all deck head ceiling panels painted white, refinishing most of the wall panels, and marble inlays throughout. Lastly, new tvs and new furniture in the interior and on the deck.

Exterior renovations were done as well. For instance, caulking and sanding the decks, and polishing the superstructure and hull. In addition, painting the deck Jacuzzi white.

OTHER RENOVATIONS

Modern renovations are important, but the cabin configuration is this charter vessel’s greatest appeal.  The guest cabins can be reconfigured from 4 to 5 double cabins.  With the main deck master serving as a double cabin as well, the yacht has the ability to offer 6 double cabins. This is a rarity in yachts of this size.

THE ACCOMMODATIONS

The full-beam master suite on the main deck includes a spa pool/bath and shower and two separate toilets/bidets. Additionally, walk-in wardrobes and a safe and minibar. Entertainment amenities include a 50” Samsung television and Apple airplay. Further, movie server and UK Sky TV.

The lower deck offers two double cabins. These staterooms offer ensuite with shower and separate toilet/bidet, safe, mini bar, and TV.

ADDITIONAL CABINS

The aft double is actually a VIP cabin.  It is full beam, and it is a bit more spacious than the other double.

The other lower deck cabins are twins with ensuite bathrooms. Both twin cabins can convert into super kings by joining the beds in the middle. They each have extra mattresses and support.

A sixth double cabin is located on the upper deck.  It features ensuite facilities and excellent sea views.

ian-malouf-superyacht-owner-interview

On Board With Ian Malouf, Owner of 52m Superyacht Mischief

Claire Wrathall meets Ian Malouf, owner of 52.4 metre superyacht Mischief , a businessman who has cleaned up in Australia and is now enjoying the fruits of his labours...

In the tell-it-like-it-is style of the Sydney Morning Herald , Ian Malouf is “king of the dumpsters” and “Australia’s richest garbo”. More poetically he’s an alchemist who has found a way to turn rubbish into gold, or at least dollars. Officially, however, he tends to be known as the founder and CEO of Dial a Dump Industries, aka DADI Group, the self-styled “leading waste management service provider and recycler in New South Wales”.

We meet amid surroundings that could not be further removed from most people’s perceptions of a tip. Mischief , the 52.4 metre Baglietto-built , Francesco Paszkowski-designed superyacht that Malouf bought in 2015 and had comprehensively refitted, has a newly resprayed ultramarine hull and immaculate white-and-navy interiors. She is berthed in the Vieux Port at Cannes, where the annual film festival is in full swing and the beau monde are out in force. A week hence she will be 50km west in the Bay of Monaco for the Formula One grand prix. “Then we’ll cruise down to Italy,” he says. By the time he goes back to Australia, he’ll have been aboard about two and half months. “And then I’ll come back for September and October and hang out in Spain. We’ll stretch the season as long as we can.” He says he spends half the year afloat.

“No one likes to do the dirty jobs,” he says. “But there’s money in trash.” Malouf has grown DADI from a one-man rubbish collection service he launched as a student in 1984 with A$700 (about £400) – he quit university six weeks into a law course to run it full-time – to a range of businesses from skip hire to recycling and the production of mulch, woodchip and aggregates to landfill and potentially energy generation. The cluster of desks and computer screens in one corner of the yacht’s main saloon act as his on board office.

“I’ve always liked being near the water,” he says, recalling his childhood in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. “And my family always had boats of some description, significantly smaller than superyachts, of course. My dad was by no means an overly wealthy man, but he brought us up well, sent us to private schools and all that.”

As a boy – he was the youngest of four – Malouf and his father would go out in a “tinny”, a small open aluminium dinghy with a 6hp engine, to catch tailor or bluefish. As he grew bigger, so the boats they owned became more substantial. But it was Malouf ’s first holiday on a 100ft yacht – he doesn’t recall its name – that he chartered with friends on Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda that opened his eyes to superyachts. “After that we had them in our system.” The end of their week came and they didn’t want to go home, so having spotted another boat they liked the look of in Porto Cervo , they “found the owner and just did a direct charter”. He was hooked. He began to charter regularly. And then in 2015, within 30 minutes of stepping aboard for the first time, he decided to buy what was then Blue Scorpion . Tellingly, he renamed her Mischief .

There was another buyer lined up, who was prevaricating over the results of a survey. Malouf was undeterred. “I come from a machinery background. Back home I own 3,000 engines, so even if I’m not a mechanic, I run a phenomenal amount of equipment and can walk into an engine room and know I’ve got half a chance of making it work. So I just walked through, took a look, gave it my best guess and said I’d just take it as it was. I think I made the right decision.” And having undergone a substantial refit, inside and out, “it’s in beautiful order now,” he says.

Not that ownership stops him wanting to experience life on other boats, especially when, as happened last year, he was offered $1 million for a three-week charter during the Australian school holidays. It struck him as too good an offer to turn down, so another party took temporary custody of Mischief , and he chartered a less expensive boat for his own family.

“So yes, even now I continue to charter,” he says. “Going down to Croatia, for instance – rather than take [ Mischief ] all the way down, we’ll just jump on

another boat [that’s already there]... it saves the crew’s time.” Last year he had her shipped on a transporter to the Caribbean for the winter. “Crossing the Atlantic is a massive trip,” he says. “And a pretty amazing process. But it costs about half a million US dollars. So if someone’s got a boat over there, and we’ve got one here, there are a deck of reasons [to leave them where they are] and arrange a charter or swap. They use ours here; we use theirs. You work out a trade and away you go.”

Despite his obvious affection for his Baglietto, he thinks Mischief will be on the market by the end of the year. “You fall in with this crazy system where you want something bigger,” he says. “It’s a bloke thing.” At which point he erupts with laughter. “Do I need a bigger one? No. But this is my hobby. And the whole process of looking for another yacht is just so much fun.” Fun is a word he uses 18 times in the course of an hour’s conversation. But I don’t think it’s an act: Malouf comes across convincingly as a fun guy.

In any case, he adds, “I don’t own a house.” Excuse me? “That shocks a few people. We live in great homes. We just don’t own them. We rent, so we have to move around every now and then.”

Malouf shares his yacht and his rented home with his wife Larissa, with whom he has five children. “She was my childhood sweetheart,” he says proudly. “We started going out when I was 17 and she was 14. She calls me her first husband, so I’m always on notice.” Cue more laughter. It is she who took charge of Mischief’s interiors, stripping out its original dark-wood floors and panelling and replacing them with a paler, cooler and more contemporary scheme, with floors of bookmarked Carrara marble and burnished leather walls. “We spent a small fortune,” he says. “There was no budget control. It still kills me.”

The boat is also well equipped with exercise and fishing equipment, not to mention the wherewithal for on-deck clay-pigeon shooting, a climbing wall that descends to the water, a slide and a floating sunbathing dock. There’s been no little investment in technology too. “Gadgetry: I love it!” he exclaims. Hence the gigantic, three by two metre video wall opposite the cocktail bar in the main saloon (“great for music videos and sports events” – rugby is another passion). And the bespoke app he developed so guests can order room service via their phones from a menu that even asks you to specify how hot you want your coffee. That’s how detail-driven he is.

Indeed it’s Malouf’s faith in technology and the way it can improve life that lies at the heart of both DADI and a new initiative called Ahoy Club. Back in Australia, “we’re trying to build the world’s largest energy plant”, he says, explaining that, assuming it gets the go-ahead, the A$700 million project will combust a million tonnes of waste that would otherwise go into landfill to fuel 200,000 homes. It’s a clean technology thanks to the very high temperatures involved. “But we’re getting a bit of resistance from the local community. It’s just a fear of the unknown, a nimby problem. But we’re totally environmentally conscious. The plant will reverse three million metric tonnes of gas emissions a year, whereas landfill produces methane, which is many times more potent than CO2. So it’s actually really positive. But it’s a new technology, and when something new comes along, people resist it.”

The proposition behind Ahoy Club is a little simpler. In essence it’s a platform that aims to connect those who want to charter directly with the owners of yachts.

As he explains it, the website and app will enable users to find a boat they want to charter, ascertain immediately whether it’s available, book, pay a deposit by credit card and receive an automatically generated contract. At that stage the owner will still have the right to review and reject the contract but “if they accept it, the contract is formed, and everybody’s happy”. Established charter companies might argue that a human interface remains critical to the charter process – to advise on boats, settle any disputes and make sure the charter is specifically tuned to the client, from food and drink to itinerary and crew.

But Malouf firmly believes automation is the future. So does he see himself as a disruptor? “I prefer improver,” he replies. Looking around his refitted yacht, it’s hard to argue with that.

Advanced provisioning allowance (APA): the charterer is charged extra, at cost, for the charter expenses: fuel for the yacht, RIB or other tenders; food, soft drinks, wines, beers, spirits for the charterer, other consumable stores, berthing dues and other harbour charges away from the yacht's own berth, including pilotage fees and charges for water and electricity taken from the shore, laundry, telephone, fax or telex via radio or Inmarsat, as well as the hire costs of any special equipment placed on board at the request of the charterer. 25-40% APA is given to the yacht prior to the charter to allow the captain to buy fuel and provision the yacht as per the charterer's demands.
