The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance. Cleaning, tourist tax, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are billed at the base — we confirm the full breakdown when you request a quote.
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.
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.

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.
