Perfect for families Lady Butterfly suits groups of up to six looking for a relaxed Adriatic escape without breaking the bank. The three-cabin layout works well for two couples or a family, and the included dinghy opens up hidden coves that bigger charters can't reach.

Well-equipped cruiser This Bavaria delivers practical cruising gear: bow thruster for tight anchorages, autopilot for longer passages, radar and chart plotter for navigation, plus solar panels to keep the batteries topped up. The snorkeling kit and bimini cover show the operator understands what makes a bareboat holiday actually enjoyable.

Honest value proposition At 12 metres and 2009-built, you're getting a proven, no-nonsense cruiser rather than a showpiece. The modest €1,700 deposit suggests competitive rates—though you'll want to confirm the weekly charter cost directly with Butterfly Water Sports, as it's not listed here.

One practical note Croatia's charter bases typically require a flight into Dubrovnik, Split, or Zagreb, then a drive or short domestic flight to the Dalmatian coast. Factor in transfer time when planning your arrival, but the Adriatic's protected waters and island-hopping make the journey worthwhile.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Tučepi, in Tučepi, Croatia. "LADY BUTTERFLY" is operated by Butterfly Water Sports Croatia.

Can "LADY BUTTERFLY" be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter "LADY BUTTERFLY" 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 "LADY BUTTERFLY"?

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.
