Solar panels 2*180W, New sails in 2026

Ideal for families This 51-footer comfortably sleeps 11 across five cabins, making it perfect for multi-family holidays or groups wanting their own private spaces without cramping together.

Well-equipped cruiser The Bavaria impresses with practical kit, solar panels mean lower running costs, autopilot and chart plotter keep things straightforward, and the bow thruster handles tight anchorages with ease. A teak cockpit and bimini make lounging genuinely pleasant.

Reasonable value proposition The €2,500 deposit is modest, and you're getting a solid 2017 boat that's neither ancient nor cutting-edge, good for families wanting reliability without premium pricing. Just confirm total charter cost against similar five-cabin options in your chosen waters.

One note on reviews The operator's 5/5 rating is excellent, but it's based on only two reviews, so while encouraging, it's a smaller sample than you'd ideally want when booking long-haul from abroad. Request detailed recent client references before committing.

The marina & destination

Based at D-Marin Dalmacija Marina, in Sukošan, Croatia. Zoilo 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 Zoilo be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Zoilo 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 Zoilo?

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.
