Ideal for families The Bavaria C50 suits groups of up to 8 looking for comfortable cruising without complexity, three cabins sleep everyone well, and the air conditioning keeps things civilized in warm climates. This 2021 model is young enough to feel fresh but proven enough to be reliable.

Well-equipped starter You're getting solid fundamentals here: bow thruster for easy mooring, autopilot for longer passages, and a generator to run the air con when at anchor. The teak cockpit and cushions add a touch of comfort without unnecessary frills, and the chart plotter eliminates guesswork on navigation.

Honest value assessment At this size and age with decent spec, the price sits in fair territory, not a bargain, but not overcooked either. The €3,000 deposit is reasonable, and running costs should be manageable given the generator and modest systems. You're paying for a modern, comfortable boat that won't need constant babying.

One consideration Without knowing the base location, I can't comment on how straightforward the international transfer is, but do confirm transfer time from your nearest major airport before booking. Some charter bases are a two-hour drive; others require a seaplane or an extra night's hotel.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Zadar, in Zadar, Croatia. PENELOPE is operated by Albatros Yachting.

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 PENELOPE be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter PENELOPE 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 PENELOPE?

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.
