Perfect for couples or small groups. The Bavaria C38 is an excellent choice if you're looking for a modern, well-equipped sailing yacht that doesn't require extensive sailing experience. With three cabins and space for up to eight, it's ideal for two families or a group of friends wanting a comfortable week on the water without feeling cramped.

Smart design features. This 2025 build includes practical touches that make cruising easier: a bow thruster for tight mooring situations, autopilot for longer passages, and a sprayhood to keep things dry in choppy conditions. The inclusion of Wi-Fi, refrigeration, and a holding tank means you won't sacrifice comfort while exploring the Adriatic.

Solid value proposition. At 11.4 metres with modern systems, the Bavaria C38 offers genuine bang for your buck—you're getting a new boat with all the essentials included rather than paying extra for upgrades later. The modest €1,300 deposit is refreshingly low and suggests Orvas Yachting runs a straightforward operation.

One fair note: With only two reviews on record, Orvas Yachting is still building its reputation, so you're taking a small leap of faith compared to operators with hundreds of customer reviews. That said, their 5/5 rating is promising—just worth confirming availability and lead times well in advance when booking through SailChecker.

Can VELIKA LUKA be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter VELIKA LUKA 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 VELIKA LUKA?

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.
