<br>Return on Friday afternoon is not required. The boat may be returned to the marina on Saturday morning by 09:00.

Who it suits This compact 8.2-metre motorboat works best for couples or small groups of two to three people seeking a relaxed, low-commitment coastal escape, think day trips and sheltered anchorages rather than serious cruising. The single cabin and modest berth count mean you're looking at intimate getaways, not larger family holidays.

Standout features The 2021 build is reassuringly new, and practical touches like the bow thruster make single-handed maneuvering straightforward, even for less experienced drivers. Wi-Fi and a chart plotter keep you connected and navigating confidently, while the bimini and cockpit cushions promise genuine comfort during lazy afternoons on the water.

Value proposition At €1,463 per week with just a €1,000 deposit, this is genuinely affordable day-boat territory, excellent value if your ambitions match the boat's size and range. You're not paying for space you won't use.

One honest note The operator's 4.3-star rating on only three reviews suggests limited charter history, so you'll want to check recent feedback carefully and confirm exact base location and local support availability before committing. Also clarify fuel policy and whether that outboard engine suits your intended cruising distance.

Can Lovre be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Lovre 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 Lovre?

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.
