What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
15 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
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.

Northern Dalmatia & the Kornati Loop
Kornati National Park is empty coves, no shore power, true wilderness sailing. The route most people quietly call their best charter ever.
