SailChecker Expert View

Perfect starter choice. The Bavaria 42 is ideal if you're new to sailing or want a relaxed, manageable boat, she's forgiving, well-equipped, and sized right for small groups or families wanting hands-on sailing without the complexity of larger vessels.

Solid practical kit. Multiple chart plotters, solar panels, Wi-Fi, and a sprayhood mean you're comfortable and connected even on longer passages, while the 8 berths across 3 cabins squeeze good value from the 13-meter hull for groups splitting costs.

Genuinely competitive pricing. At €1,650/week with just €1,550 deposit, this is honest money for a 2005 boat in active charter, you're paying for reliability and availability rather than new-boat gloss, which makes sense for the long-haul traveler who values a working holiday over a floating luxury hotel.

Age worth noting. She's nearly 20 years old, so while Bavarias are famously robust, you may encounter minor wear or creaks that newer stock wouldn't, nothing scary, but worth discussing recent refit history with Navigator Charter before booking if extended offshore sailing matters to you.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Kremik, in Primošten, Croatia. Sea King is operated by Navigator charter.

Splitska 22-24

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Kremik in Primošten sits on the central Dalmatian coast, putting you within easy reach of the Dalmatian Islands for your first week. From here you can sail south to Brač and Hvar (4-6 hours), or north to Šibenik and the Kornati archipelago (3-4 hours), giving you flexible options depending on wind conditions. The shallow, sheltered waters and island-hopping routes make this a good base for building confidence before venturing further, with steady northwesterly breezes typical for summer cruising.

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