Bavaria S40 HT | Sun Dreamer

Q: Can Sun Dreamer be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Sun Dreamer 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.

Q: What sailing licence do I need to charter Sun Dreamer?

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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

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 per person per day

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

€1.33 per person per day mandatory

"Enjoy Life - Package" incl. Bed linen, Towels, Tender, Welcome Package

Transit Log > 12m

Above the Croatia average. Operators with higher transit logs often run newer fleets — usually a sign of investment, not a hidden charge.

€375 per rental mandatory

Refundable security deposit

Held at check-in (card pre-auth or bank transfer), refunded after charter if the yacht is returned without damage. Deposit-waiver insurance is one of the optional extras below — reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.

Our "Sun Dreamer" combines sportiness and comfort in two very spacious cabins. With a width of almost 4m, the VIP cabin is a real space miracle with over 2m headroom and room for up to three people. The bathroom has a separate shower cabin.
The saloon with its open kitchen not only invites you to cook, but also offers enough space for the crew on the seating area. The lowerable saloon table also offers additional sleeping accommodation for guests.
In the cockpit area there are two seating areas with a table, and it is also possible to convert one seating area into a berth here. The electric hardtop provides adequate ventilation on hot summer days.
The extra-large bathing platform leaves nothing to be desired for bathing fun and water sports.
The S40 HT is therefore ideal for two couples or a family with children.

Diesel, Inverter, Air Condition, Underwater LED, no electric rooftop

Perfect for couples or small families seeking relaxed motor cruising without sailing complexity. The Bavaria S40 HT delivers comfortable cruising in a compact, easy-to-handle package that doesn't demand heavy experience.

Well-equipped cabin space with air-con and heating makes this 2016 boat suitable for year-round charter, while the bow thruster and modest size mean effortless docking in tight Mediterranean or European waterways. Cockpit speakers and a dinghy add nice touches for entertaining and exploring.

Solid value proposition at this size and age, the €4,000 deposit is reasonable, and you're getting a proven, fuel-efficient motor platform without premium pricing. Expect competitive daily rates for the bareboat or skippered charter market.

One practical note: as a motor boat with only 2 cabins, this suits short trips rather than extended family expeditions. If you're flying long-haul to an unfamiliar charter base, confirm the operator's English-speaking support and whether airport transfers are included in your package.

The marina & destination

Based at D-Marin Dalmacija Marina, in Sukošan, Croatia. Sun Dreamer is operated by Sea Dream Yachtcharter.

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.

You can charter Sun Dreamer 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.
