NEW - SOLAR PANELS 2 x 115 W

Compact family cruiser The Vella suits groups of up to 7 looking for affordable coastal exploring without the complexity of sailing, think couples, small families, or friends who want to relax rather than crew. At 10.8 metres with three cabins, you're getting intimate shared quarters, so this works best when everyone knows and likes each other.

Practical essentials Solar panels and a bow thruster are genuine quality-of-life features on a boat this size, making solo anchoring and tight marina entries genuinely manageable. The basics are all there, chart plotter, dinghy, and decent creature comforts, without unnecessary frills that bump the price up.

Honest value proposition A €1000 deposit is refreshingly low, and Asta Yachting's perfect 5-star rating across their reviews is genuinely impressive for a smaller operator. You're looking at straightforward, no-fuss boating at rates that won't shock you, ideal if your budget is modest but your standards aren't.

Space trade-off Three cabins on 10.8 metres means compact berths and tight galley living; if anyone in your group values privacy or spaciousness, this will feel snug after day two. It's brilliant value, but only if sleeping arrangements that are cosier than a hotel feel like part of the adventure rather than a compromise.

The marina & destination

Based at D-Marin Dalmacija Marina, in Sukošan, Croatia. VELLA is operated by Asta Yachting.

Bibinje-Sukošan 1

Why this is a great starting point

D-Marin Dalmacija in Sukošan sits on Croatia's central Dalmatian coast, positioning you perfectly for the sheltered island-hopping grounds of the Zadar archipelago. Week one typically takes you south through the Kornati National Park's limestone islands or northwest toward Dugi Otok, both offering protected anchorages, moderate northwesterly winds, and short day hops of 10 to 20 nautical miles. The marina itself has full facilities and good provisioning, making it an efficient departure point before heading into deeper waters toward Split or the Adriatic's outer islands.

Can VELLA be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter VELLA bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.

What sailing licence do I need to charter VELLA?

Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.

What's included in the charter price?

The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.

What additional costs should I expect at the base?

Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.

How does the security deposit work?

The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.

Can I cancel my charter booking?

Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.

Is the yacht insured?

Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.

What documents do I need to bring?

You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.

What payment methods are accepted?

Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
