What you'll pay

Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.

Paid at the base (mandatory)

Transit log MB (final cleaning, bed linen, shower towels, unlimited Wi-Fi)

Above the Croatia average. Operators with higher transit logs often run newer fleets — usually a sign of investment, not a hidden charge.

€400 per rental mandatory

Tourist tax/per person (total sum calculated upon check-in)

Regulated rate, charged by the marina (not the operator).

€1.33 per night mandatory

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.

€2,000 refundable mandatory

Perfect for couples The Antares 9 OB is ideal if you're a couple or small family flying in for a week of relaxed cruising, it sleeps four comfortably across two cabins, so there's genuine privacy. At 9.2 metres, it's compact enough to handle independently without overwhelming you, yet offers genuine comfort with air conditioning and heating for year-round charter.

Solid value proposition At roughly €2,168 per week with a modest €2,000 deposit, this boat delivers honest bang for your buck, especially given the 5/5 rating from Master Yachting, which suggests reliable, well-maintained kit and dependable support. You're paying for a trusted operator rather than chasing the cheapest option, which matters when you've flown internationally to enjoy your holiday.

Standout practicalities The inclusion of air conditioning, heating, fridge, and TV means this boat cares about livability, not just getting you from A to B. That matters on shorter charters when comfort and entertainment options genuinely enhance the experience.

Location clarity matters The charter base location isn't listed in your data, so before committing, confirm exactly where you're flying into and how long transfers will take, that's crucial for long-haul planning. Once you know the base, you can factor in airport connections and whether the cruising ground suits your sailing ambitions.

The marina & destination

Based at D-Marin Dalmacija Marina, in Sukošan, Croatia. ESCAPE is operated by Master 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 ESCAPE be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter ESCAPE 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 ESCAPE?

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.
