Perfect for groups The Bavaria Cruiser 51 sleeps up to 12 across five cabins, making it ideal for families or friends chartering together, you'll struggle to find better value for accommodating larger parties on a modern, well-equipped sailing yacht. At 15.6 metres, she's manageable for mixed-ability crews without feeling cramped.

Well-thought-out cruising Solar panels, heating, Wi-Fi, a bow thruster, and outside steering positions show this 2020 boat was built with comfort in mind. The swimming platform, dinghy, and sprayhood are genuine quality-of-life additions that justify the spec, and the autopilot will be your friend on longer passages.

Strong operator backing Nova Eurospectra holds a perfect 5/5 rating across their reviews, and a zero deposit is genuinely rare, it signals confidence in their fleet and lower financial friction for international charterers flying in. That matters when you're booking from overseas.

Missing one detail We don't have the charter base location listed, which makes it impossible to assess travel logistics from major European or US hubs. Once you confirm where Ivolga is based, check flight connections and airport-to-marina transfer times, that's your real cost and convenience factor for a long-haul charter.

Based at ACI Marina Trogir, Croatia . Ivolga is operated by Nova Eurospectra.

Licences: A recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) and VHF radio licence are required for bareboat charter. Sailing CV listing your previous yachts and miles is checked on arrival.
Security deposit: A refundable security deposit is taken at the base by card swipe or cash. The exact amount is confirmed at quote time; refunded after handover provided the boat and inventory are returned undamaged.

A starting point, not a script: pick one as a template and we'll tailor the dates, stops, and pace to your crew.

Northern Dalmatia & the Kornati Loop7 days · ~110 nm · 5 stops

Kornati National Park is empty coves, no shore power, true wilderness sailing. The route most people quietly call their best charter ever.

1Sukošan / Zadar

Charter base. Stock up on provisions before you leave, the islands are sparse on supermarkets.

2Žut

Sheltered bay with one restaurant pier. Easy first-night anchorage; bring cash for the moorings.

3Telašćica

Long fjord-like bay inside the national park. Swim to the cliff-top salt lake at sunset.

4Sali (Dugi Otok)

Sleepy fishing village with a working harbour. Konoba Roko for lamb peka, order ahead.

5Sukošan return

Half-day sail back; the wind usually fills from NW by lunchtime.

Central Dalmatia · the Hvar Circuit7 days · ~140 nm · 5 stops

Mixes the lively (Hvar town, Bol beach) with the still untouched (Vis, away from the cruise routes).

1Split

Charter base. Diocletian's Palace is worth a half-day before you leave.

2Brač

Bol's Golden Horn beach is the classic stop. Anchor in Lučice for quiet.

3Hvar

Hvar town is the party. Stari Grad on the north coast is the antidote.

4Vis

The far island, fewer charter boats, blue cave excursions, the freshest seafood on the route.

5Šolta

Quiet, close to Split. Maslinica is the prettiest anchorage on the island.

Istria & Kvarner7 days · ~120 nm · 4 stops

Italian-influenced architecture, the warmest water in Croatia by mid-July, fewer charter boats than further south.

1Pula

Roman amphitheatre at the harbour entrance. Charter base.

2Rovinj

Picture-perfect Venetian old town on a peninsula. Marina is small, book.

3Cres

Sparsely populated; griffon vultures overhead. Anchor in Lubenice cove for the cliff views.

4Krk

The largest Adriatic island. Punat marina is full-service if you need provisions or laundry.

Can Ivolga be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Ivolga 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 Ivolga?

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.

Bareboat or skippered, which suits our crew?

Bareboat is for crews with at least one experienced skipper (RYA Day Skipper / ICC level) plus a co-skipper, and a track record of similar passages. Skippered charters add a professional skipper for typically £150-£250 per day, recommended if anyone in your group is light on Mediterranean experience, if you want a relaxed week without responsibility, or if the area is new to you. You can also hire a hostess (cook + cabin help) on top.

Can we sail to a neighbouring country during the charter?

Sometimes, with the operator's written consent and the right paperwork. Common cross-borders: Croatia → Montenegro, Greece → Turkey, BVI → USVI. Most operators charge a one-off cruising-permit fee (typically €100–€300) and need 4–8 weeks' notice. Tell us at quote time and we'll arrange it: spontaneous border-crossing during the trip usually isn't allowed.

Do I need travel insurance on top of the charter insurance?

Yes. The yacht is insured by the operator for damage and third-party liability, but that doesn't cover you. Charter cancellation insurance (typically 4–5% of the charter fee) covers you if you have to cancel last-minute; standard travel insurance covers medical, flight, and personal-effects loss. We can recommend a UK broker that bundles both.

What happens if there's bad weather on the day?

For day-to-day weather you'll plan the week to avoid the worst: the Adriatic and Aegean have very predictable wind patterns. If a serious storm makes the start-day handover impossible, the operator delays check-in until conditions improve and refunds any lost days. The yacht itself is insured against weather damage, so you're not exposed.

Can I hold this yacht while I decide?

Yes: an option holds the yacht in your name for typically 48–72 hours at no cost. Useful if you're waiting on the rest of the crew to confirm, comparing it against another yacht, or sorting flights. Ask us when you enquire and we'll arrange the option with the operator.
