What you'll pay

Ideal for families The THOMAS is a brilliant choice for groups wanting to sail together without feeling cramped, ten berths across four cabins mean everyone gets their own space, which matters on a week-long charter. At just 10.9 metres, this 2024 catamaran is nimble enough for one or two confident sailors to handle, yet spacious enough for families or friends who want to relax rather than work.

Smart, modern setup You're getting a genuinely contemporary boat here: solar panels mean less fuel burn and generator noise, autopilot takes the strain out of longer passages, and the chart plotter keeps navigation straightforward. The bimini provides essential shade in Mediterranean sun, and having a dinghy included is a genuine plus for exploring anchorages and reaching shore restaurants.

Honest value question A €3,000 deposit is reasonable, but we can't see the weekly rate from the data provided, so do check that against comparable 4-cabin catamarans in the same base. The operator has a perfect 5-star rating, though only two reviews, so it's a young track record; worth asking for references if you want extra peace of mind.

One practical note The base location isn't listed here, which matters for your long-haul flight, confirm airport transfer time and whether Smart Sail handles logistics smoothly for international clients before booking.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Novi, in Novi Vinodolski, Croatia. THOMAS is operated by Smart Sail.

Mel 1B

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Novi sits on Croatia's central Adriatic coast and works well as a base for exploring the Dalmatian islands and channels within a week's sailing. From here you can reach the popular islands of Hvar, Vis, and Korcula heading south, or cruise north toward Rijeka and the Kvarner islands, with consistent northwesterly boras making these passages straightforward. The sheltered waters and numerous anchorages in this region suit both confident and moderate sailors, and you'll find good provisioning in Novi itself.

Can THOMAS be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter THOMAS 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 THOMAS?

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.
