Ideal for small groups. This 2023 Bavaria C42 suits couples, families, or friends exploring the Adriatic, eight berths across three cabins means no one's cramped, and a five-star operator rating from Adriatic Yacht Charter speaks volumes about reliability and service.

Well-equipped modern boat. Solar panels, autopilot, bow thruster, and Wi-Fi tick all the boxes for comfortable cruising; the sprayhood and bimini keep you shaded, while the chart plotter takes the guesswork out of navigation. You're getting genuinely useful kit here, not just bells and whistles.

Strong value proposition. At €2,085 per week with only a €2,000 deposit, you're looking at fair pricing for a nearly-new yacht with serious creature comforts, especially the solar panels and internet, which often cost extra elsewhere. For international guests flying into Split or Zadar, this base offers solid accessibility and a proven operator.

One practical note: With three cabins across 12.4 metres, cabin sizes will be modest rather than spacious, so couples or those prioritising comfort might feel slightly squeezed on longer charters, though it's perfectly standard for this class.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Medulin, in Medulin, Croatia. Fiona is operated by Adriatic Yacht Charter.

Osipovica 40

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Medulin sits at the southern tip of the Istrian Peninsula, offering quick access to the protected waters of the Adriatic's northern reaches. Week 1 cruising typically heads south along the Dalmatian coast toward the Elaphiti Islands or west to the Venetian-influenced towns of Rovinj and Porec, with reliable northwesterly bora winds providing good sailing in spring and autumn. The marina works well as a base for mixed itineraries; you can explore the limestone cliffs and anchorages of central Dalmatia or stay within Istrian waters depending on wind conditions and your crew's experience.

Can Fiona be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Fiona 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 Fiona?

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.
