Perfect for groups This 54-footer sleeps up to 12 across five cabins, making it ideal for large family gatherings or friends chartering together. You'll get genuine living space without feeling cramped, which is rare at this length.

Well-equipped and comfortable The boat ticks all the boxes: bow thruster for easier mooring, autopilot for longer passages, air conditioning and heating for year-round comfort, plus three separate fridges (handy with a crowd). The teak cockpit and sprayhood add that touch of quality, and you've got entertainment sorted with TV and speakers.

Solid value proposition At €2,000 deposit with a 4.5-star operator rating, Nautika Kufner clearly knows what they're doing. The 2018 build means everything should be relatively modern and reliable, and an outboard engine keeps running costs sensible.

One practical note We don't have the charter base location listed here, so you'll need to confirm where you'll actually be sailing, that'll affect your flight logistics from the UK or US. Once you know the base, check typical flight connections and ground transfer times to plan your arrival smoothly.

The marina & destination

Based at ACI Marina Trogir, in Trogir, Croatia. ADRIATIC EXPERT is operated by Nautika Kufner.

Put Cumbrijana 22

Why this is a great starting point

ACI Marina Trogir sits within the medieval walled town, offering immediate access to the central Dalmatian islands; week one typically involves sailing south to Hvar and Vis, or north toward the Pakleni Islands, with reliable northwesterly winds favouring both directions. The shallow, protected waters around the Trogir archipelago suit confidence-building, and the marina's central location on the Adriatic coast puts Kornati National Park (a full day's sail northeast) within realistic reach for week two. Trogir's old town provides good provisioning and is walkable from the boat, making it an efficient turnaround point if clients are new to the region.

Frequently asked questions
Can ADRIATIC EXPERT be rented with or without a skipper?
Yes, ADRIATIC EXPERT can be chartered with or without a professional skipper. If you have the necessary sailing qualifications and experience, you can sail independently; otherwise, Nautika Kufner can arrange a qualified skipper to join your charter.
What sailing licence do I need to charter ADRIATIC EXPERT?
To charter ADRIATIC EXPERT without a skipper, you'll need a valid International Certificate of Competence (ICC) or equivalent national sailing qualification recognised in Croatia. If you don't hold a licence, you must hire a professional skipper through Nautika Kufner.
What's included in the charter price?
The charter price typically includes the yacht, crewed or bareboat as selected, basic provisioning, and standard safety equipment. You should confirm specific inclusions with Nautika Kufner, as some extras like fuel, mooring fees, or skipper costs may be additional.
What additional costs should I expect at the base?
At the Croatia base, expect to pay separately for mooring fees, fuel, provisioning top-ups, and any skipper hire if not pre-arranged. You may also incur costs for optional services like pre-charter catering or equipment upgrades.
How does the security deposit work for ADRIATIC EXPERT?
ADRIATIC EXPERT requires a refundable security deposit of €2,000, which is held during your charter and returned after the yacht is inspected post-return, provided there are no damage claims or outstanding charges.
Can I cancel my charter booking?
Cancellation terms depend on when you cancel, Nautika Kufner typically offers full refunds if cancelled well in advance, with sliding-scale deductions closer to your charter date. Request their specific cancellation policy when booking to understand your protection.
Is ADRIATIC EXPERT insured?
Yes, ADRIATIC EXPERT is insured as standard; however, this is usually a bare-hull policy. Your security deposit covers accidental damage, but you should clarify excess amounts and what's excluded with Nautika Kufner before booking.
What documents do I need to bring?
You'll need a valid passport, your sailing licence (ICC or equivalent) if chartering bareboat, and your credit card for the €2,000 security deposit. If hiring a skipper, bring your skipper's required documentation, Nautika Kufner will advise on any additional paperwork for Croatia entry.
What payment methods are accepted?
Most charter operators in Croatia, including Nautika Kufner, accept bank transfers and major credit cards. Confirm payment methods directly when booking, and note that the €2,000 deposit is typically held via card as a pre-authorisation.
