2024, SOLAR PANELS, Electric Toilet

Perfect for families The Stella Familia is a solid choice for groups wanting a modern, well-equipped boat without breaking the bank. With three cabins sleeping up to eight, it's ideal for families or two couples traveling together.

Standout gear onboard You're getting genuinely useful kit here: air conditioning and heating keep you comfortable in shoulder seasons, a bow thruster makes tight anchorages manageable, and solar panels ease generator running costs. The 2024 build means everything should feel fresh and reliable.

Excellent value proposition At €1,680 per week with only a €2,500 deposit, this Bavaria punches well above its price point, modern design, decent cabin count, and a full spec of comfort features. For long-haul travelers from the US or UK, you're getting genuine quality without charter company markup.

One honest note The operator details are sparse in your listing, and we can't see which specific Adriatic base this deploys from, that matters for your flight connections and transfer logistics. Confirm base location directly with KWS Adria before booking, so you know exactly how far the airport transfer will be.

The marina & destination

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Zadar sits at the gateway to the central Dalmatian islands, making it ideal for week-one cruising toward the Pakleni Islands and Hvar. Northwesterly winds dominate in summer, pushing you naturally down the coast; typical first-week itineraries work the 30-40 nautical mile run to Vis or Korcula, with reliable shelter in between. The shallow, island-dotted waters suit both confident and cautious sailors, and you can reach established anchorages and small-town provisioning stops within easy day-sail distances.

Can Stella Familia be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Stella Familia 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 Stella Familia?

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.
