Perfect for couples This 2010 Azimut 43 S suits pairs or small families who want motor-yacht comfort without the complexity of sailing. With just 2 cabins sleeping 4, it's intimate rather than spacious, ideal if you're after a romantic getaway or travelling with one other couple.

Solid practical features Aphrodite comes well-equipped for cruising: air conditioning keeps you comfortable in Mediterranean heat, bow thruster makes tight anchorages easy, and autopilot handles longer passages without fatigue. The bimini provides essential shade, while radar and GPS backbone suggest this boat's been properly maintained for safe cruising.

Zero deposit appeal The €0 security deposit is genuinely unusual and attractive, no large upfront cash hold when you're already investing in international travel. That said, always clarify damage terms with Epidaurum & Dubrovnik directly, as deposit-free charters sometimes carry stricter liability conditions.

Age worth considering At 14 years old, this Azimut is past its first flush but remains a respected builder's model. Factor in that older motoryachts can mean higher fuel costs and potential mechanical surprises, ask the operator about recent engine servicing and running hours before committing.

The marina & destination

Based at Port Gruž, in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Aphrodite is operated by Epidaurum & Dubrovnik Boat Adventure.

Obala Ivana Pavla II 13

Why this is a great starting point

Port Gruž lies just north of Dubrovnik's old town and serves as the main working harbour for the region. From here, week one typically involves cruising the Elaphiti Islands (Kolocep, Lopud, Sipan), which sit 30 minutes downwind, or heading south to Cavtat and the Dalmatian coast; the prevailing Maestral wind during summer months favours both directions. The location puts you within easy reach of established anchorages and small ports with reasonable provisioning, making it practical for easing into a Croatian sailing routine.

Can Aphrodite be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Aphrodite 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 Aphrodite?

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.
