SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for couples or small families. The Bavaria Cruiser 37 "Gospoja" suits groups of 3, 5 people wanting comfortable bareboat sailing without breaking the bank. Three cabins and seven berths give flexibility, whether you're taking friends or keeping it intimate as a couple with guest space.

Well-equipped modern cruiser. This 2016 Bavaria punches above its weight, you get air conditioning, heating, bow thruster, electric winches, and solar panels, plus a teak cockpit that feels more upmarket than the price suggests. The chart plotter in the cockpit is genuinely handy for passage planning without ducking below.

Outstanding value proposition. At €1,320 per week with a modest €2,000 deposit, this is honest money for a recently built, fully-spec'd cruiser with auxiliary systems most bareboat sailors appreciate on longer trips. You're getting real comfort without charter-yacht markups.

One practical note: We don't have the charter base location in the listing, that matters for your flight logistics from the UK or US, so check with Mate Charter directly on where "Gospoja" is based before booking, and factor in airport transfers and potential connection times.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Zadar, in Zadar, Croatia. GOSPOJA is operated by Mate Charter.

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.

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