Solid family choice The Cyclades 39.3 is a compact, well-equipped cruiser that suits families or small groups after a relaxed Mediterranean sailing week. At 12 metres with three cabins sleeping eight, you get decent comfort without the complexity of a larger vessel, ideal if you're chartering with limited sailing experience or want manageable handling.

Good practical kit Helena comes properly equipped for casual cruising: autopilot and chart plotter take the stress out of navigation, while the bimini and sprayhood keep you shaded and dry. The lazy bag system makes sail handling easier, and the dinghy is handy for exploring anchorages or reaching quieter beaches, standard features, but reassuring they're all here.

Fair value proposition At roughly €1,450 per week with a modest €1,500 deposit, this boat sits at the accessible end of bareboat pricing. You're not paying premium money, which reflects the 2008 build year and 12-metre size, but you get everything needed for a proper week's sailing rather than a stripped-down alternative.

Missing one detail We don't have the charter base location listed, which matters for flight connections and local sailing conditions, that's worth confirming directly with Marina & Yachting before booking, especially if you're flying in from the US or northern Europe.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Betina, in Murter, Croatia. Helena is operated by Marina & Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Betina sits on Murter island in central Dalmatia, offering straightforward access to the Kornati archipelago and the sheltered waters between the mainland and island chain. Week 1 typically focuses on exploring these protected cruising grounds, with easy day sails to Pasman, Ugljan, and the scattered islands of Kornati National Park; the prevailing northwesterly Mistral wind generally favors this area in summer. The marina serves as an ideal base for sailors wanting moderate sailing conditions and minimal distance to anchor in clear, shallow bays rather than tackling the open Adriatic.

Can Helena be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Helena 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 Helena?

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.
