What you'll pay

€150 per rental mandatory

Included at no extra cost. A nice touch — many operators charge €30–€50 per week for this.

Refundable security deposit

Held at check-in (card pre-auth or bank transfer), refunded after charter if the yacht is returned without damage. Deposit-waiver insurance is one of the optional extras below — reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.

Compact and efficient. The Adria Event 850 is a small motorboat suited to couples or small families who want easy handling without the complexity of larger vessels. At 8.5 metres, it's genuinely manageable for relaxed cruising in sheltered waters or coastal exploration.

Smart practical features. Solar panels, a bow thruster, and electric winches make this boat surprisingly well-equipped for its size, you get genuine convenience touches rather than bare essentials. The chart plotter and dinghy open up exploration options, and the single cabin sleeps four if you're flexible with comfort levels.

Strong value proposition. At around €1,560 per week with only a €1,200 deposit, this is genuinely affordable for a equipped motorboat, especially if you're splitting costs across four people. You're getting real value without obvious corners cut.

One honest note: With just one cabin, this works brilliantly for one couple or very close friends, but four berths in a 1-cabin layout means tight sleeping arrangements, bunk cabins or saloon conversions take planning. Confirm the exact sleeping configuration before booking if you're bringing a group.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Šangulin, in Biograd, Croatia. Danora is operated by Danora.

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Šangulin sits in Biograd on the central Dalmatian coast, giving you immediate access to the Pakleni Islands and Hvar's sheltered anchorages, reachable in 2-3 hours of sailing. Week 1 typically takes you south toward Vis and Bisevo, or north into the Kornati National Park archipelago, both offering protected anchorages and consistent afternoon thermals from the northwest. The marina itself has good facilities and sits close to the town, making it straightforward for crew changes and provisioning before you head into deeper cruising grounds.

Can Danora be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Danora 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 Danora?

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.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
