Perfect for families The Bavaria Cruiser 37 is an excellent choice if you're flying in from the US or Europe with family or friends, three cabins sleep up to eight people comfortably, making it great value for group charters. It's a forgiving, well-designed cruiser that doesn't demand expert sailing skills, so mixed-ability crews will enjoy it.

Smart modern kit This 2019 boat comes well-equipped for independent cruising: autopilot takes the strain, solar panels mean less engine time, and the chart plotter handles navigation while you relax with the cockpit speakers. The teak cockpit and sprayhood add real comfort for long days on the water.

Solid value proposition At 11.3 metres with three cabins, you're getting genuine cruising space without paying superyacht prices, the €2,000 deposit is straightforward, and solar panels help keep running costs down. For a 2019 Bavaria, this represents fair mid-range charter pricing.

One practical note The listing doesn't specify the exact base location (likely Croatia given the operator name CRO-MAR), so confirm flight logistics, most Adriatic bases are 1-2 hours from Split or Dubrovnik airports, making it accessible but not a quick hop from the UK or US. Check whether CRO-MAR handles airport transfers to avoid last-minute scrambling.

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 Matija be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Matija 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 Matija?

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.
