SailChecker Expert View

Luxury cruising couple The Azimut 53 Fly suits experienced boaters and affluent couples who want serious comfort without the mega-yacht crew overhead. With three cabins and a flybridge, you get space to entertain friends or family while maintaining an intimate owner-operator feel.

Standout features This 2025 build is genuinely well-equipped: onboard water maker, washer/dryer, and dual chart plotters mean you're not roughing it, plus the flybridge helm gives you command of the vessel in style. The zero deposit is refreshing and shows operator confidence.

Strong value proposition At €21,050 per week, you're paying for newness, a proven production hull, and genuine liveaboard amenities that justify the price. For a modern 53-footer with this spec, the weekly rate sits fairly in the market.

One honest note We can't see the charter base location from your data, that matters hugely for transatlantic or European clients arranging flights and transfers. Reach out to Splendid Yachting directly to confirm the base, fuel costs, and whether provisioning is included, as these can shift the true value considerably.

Why this is a great starting point

D-Marin Marina Mandalina in Šibenik sits perfectly positioned for exploring the central Dalmatian coast, with the Kornati Islands and Pakleni Islands within easy reach of your first week's sailing. The marina offers good shelter and full facilities, making it an ideal base to head north toward the island-dotted Zadar region or south to Hvar and Brač, depending on prevailing northwesterly winds. Week 1 typically involves island-hopping through shallow, protected waters with consistent afternoon breezes, ideal for building confidence before venturing further along the coast.

Frequently asked questions
Can NALU be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter NALU 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 NALU?
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.
