Ideal for families This 2024 Bavaria is a solid choice for groups of 4, 6 wanting comfortable cruising without complexity. The four cabins and nine berths give you flexibility, and the modern fit-out means everything feels fresh and intuitive.

Standout practicalities Solar panels and a bow thruster are genuine quality-of-life upgrades on a 46-footer, they reduce fuel consumption and make tight anchorages painless. Dual chart plotters plus autopilot signal a boat set up for independent sailing without constant hand-steering.

Value proposition As a nearly-new Bavaria from a 5-star operator, you're paying for reliability and minimal wear. The €2,000 deposit is reasonable, though charter rates will depend on season and base location, worth asking directly about availability and pricing.

One honest note ADVENTURE CHARTER only has two reviews on record, so while their perfect rating is encouraging, you might want to chat with them about their experience and customer turnover before committing. That said, a new boat with professional support is a low-risk proposition for international guests flying in.

The marina & destination

Based at D-Marin Dalmacija Marina, in Sukošan, Croatia. Simba is operated by ADVENTURE CHARTER.

Bibinje-Sukošan 1

Why this is a great starting point

D-Marin Dalmacija in Sukošan sits on Croatia's central Dalmatian coast, positioning you perfectly for the sheltered island-hopping grounds of the Zadar archipelago. Week one typically takes you south through the Kornati National Park's limestone islands or northwest toward Dugi Otok, both offering protected anchorages, moderate northwesterly winds, and short day hops of 10 to 20 nautical miles. The marina itself has full facilities and good provisioning, making it an efficient departure point before heading into deeper waters toward Split or the Adriatic's outer islands.

Can Simba be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Simba 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 Simba?

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.
