Ideal for small groups This Bavaria 34 is a solid choice for families or friends wanting a manageable, well-equipped cruising boat without the commitment to larger yachts. Three cabins and eight berths mean you can comfortably accommodate a crew, though you'll feel the intimacy of close quarters on longer charters.

Good practical kit The boat ticks the essentials: autopilot for easier sailing, bimini and sprayhood for weather protection, a swimming platform for cooling off, and a dinghy included for exploring anchorages. The teak cockpit and radio-CD player add some comfort to passage-making, and the refrigerator keeps provisions fresh across a week away.

Keen pricing, but operator hesitation At €1,760 per week with a reasonable €1,500 deposit, the tariff is competitive for a 2019 boat of this size in European waters. However, the operator's 3.3/5 rating from just three reviews warrants a direct conversation, ask about their support during your charter, communication responsiveness, and boat maintenance standards before committing.

One honest note The Bavaria 34 is a capable cruiser, but it's not the newest model on the market and will require you to be reasonably hands-on; expect a working boat rather than a luxury escape. If you're flying long-haul to a European base, confirm pre-arrival support and whether English-speaking staff are available for your checkout.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Izola, in Izola, Slovenia. Joker is operated by Batana Navtik.

Tomaziceva 4a

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Izola sits on Slovenia's only coastline, offering quick access to the Istrian Peninsula and northern Adriatic cruising grounds. Week 1 typically involves exploring the dramatic limestone cliffs and sheltered anchorages around Rovinj and Porec in Croatia, with steady northeasterly bura winds providing reliable sailing conditions. The shallow, protected waters suit boats comfortable with variable depths, and the short hop south means you spend minimal transit time and maximum time exploring the medieval hilltop towns and pine-fringed coves of the upper Adriatic.

Can Joker be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Joker 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 Joker?

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.
