About this yacht
with webasto watermaker & solar panels
SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for larger groups This Bavaria Cruiser 56 suits families or friend groups of 8, 12 people who want comfortable cruising without compromising on space. Six cabins and 12 berths mean nobody's cramped, and the teak cockpit with cushions is a genuine social hub for evening drinks.

Well-equipped vessel Fat Boy comes with genuinely useful kit: water maker, bow thruster, autopilot, and a dinghy all come as standard. The sprayhood and chart plotter in the cockpit show the owner understands what makes bareboat cruising less stressful, especially if you're crossing longer distances to reach the yacht after a long-haul flight.

Strong value proposition At around €4,800 per week with a modest €3,000 deposit, this boat offers excellent bang-for-buck if you're splitting costs among 8, 10 people, you're looking at £40, 60 per person per night for a well-maintained 2016 build with serious cruising range thanks to the water maker.

One honest note We don't have the charter base location listed, so we can't confirm airport transfer times or local support quality. Before booking, confirm where Albatros Yachting operates and whether their team speaks English fluently, that matters when you're arriving jet-lagged from across the Atlantic or North Sea.

The marina & destination

Based at D-Marin Borik, in Zadar, Croatia. FAT BOY is operated by Albatros Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

D-Marin Borik sits on Zadar's waterfront with straightforward access to the central Dalmatian islands. Week 1 typically sees you sailing south to the Pakleni Islands and Hvar, or north towards the Kornati archipelago; both routes work well with prevailing northwesterlies and offer sheltered anchorages within 15-30 nautical miles. The marina itself provides solid facilities and a good base for clients who want immediate island-hopping without long delivery passages.

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