What you'll pay

Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.

Paid at the base (mandatory)

Tourist tax
Regulated rate, charged by the marina (not the operator).

Transit Log 2026 1 week
Bang on the Croatia average (€200–€350 typical for boats this size).
€340 per rental mandatory
Transit Log 2026 2 weeks
Above the Croatia average. Operators with higher transit logs often run newer fleets — usually a sign of investment, not a hidden charge.
€390 per rental mandatory
Transit Log 2026 3 weeks

SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for families This 2018 Bavaria Cruiser 41 suits couples and small families looking for comfortable cruising without compromising on living space. With three cabins and eight berths, you've got room to breathe, rare at this length, plus the kind of modern amenities that keep everyone happy.

Well-equipped vessel The standout features here are the creature comforts: air conditioning, heating, solar panels, and a bow thruster make handling genuinely easy, especially if you're not ultra-experienced. The swimming platform and dinghy are perfect for exploring anchorages, and those cockpit speakers set the right tone for a relaxed charter.

Solid value proposition At this price point and spec level, you're getting a nicely balanced boat, not over-optioned, but not stripped bare either. The 2018 build year means systems are relatively modern without the premium tag of a brand-new hull.

One honest note The base location isn't specified in the data, so before booking, confirm the sailing ground and flight connections from your home airport, some bases involve longer transfers that can eat into your first day. That said, the €2,000 deposit is refreshingly low, which suggests competitive overall pricing.

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.

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