What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offsKateBot generated · ~200 words

Perfect for couples This 2024 De Antonio D28 is an excellent choice for two people wanting a modern, compact motorboat experience. The single cabin with two berths keeps things intimate, and the recent build year means everything onboard will be in pristine condition.

Solid practical features You're getting genuinely useful kit here, the bow thruster makes solo handling much easier in tight spots, while the electric toilet and refrigerator are modern conveniences that matter on a boat this size. At 8.5 metres, she's nimble enough to explore smaller harbours and coastal spots that bigger vessels can't reach.

Reasonable deposit, mixed operator track record The €3,000 deposit is sensible for a boat of this value, but Baotic Yachting's 3.7-star rating with only 3 reviews suggests limited charter history. Before booking, it's worth asking directly about their experience with this specific vessel and what support you can expect during your charter.

Know your base location The charter base location isn't listed in your details, so confirm where you'll be picking up, this matters significantly for flight connections and transfer times if you're flying in from the US, UK, or mainland Europe. Once you know the base, you can plan your travel logistics properly.

Possible routes3 hand-picked itinerariesCroatia · the Adriatic

A starting point, not a script: pick one as a template and we'll tailor the dates, stops, and pace to your crew.

Northern Dalmatia & the Kornati Loop7 days · ~110 nm · 5 stops

Kornati National Park is empty coves, no shore power, true wilderness sailing. The route most people quietly call their best charter ever.

1Sukošan / Zadar
Charter base. Stock up on provisions before you leave, the islands are sparse on supermarkets.
2Žut
Sheltered bay with one restaurant pier. Easy first-night anchorage; bring cash for the moorings.
3Telašćica
Long fjord-like bay inside the national park. Swim to the cliff-top salt lake at sunset.
4Sali (Dugi Otok)
Sleepy fishing village with a working harbour. Konoba Roko for lamb peka, order ahead.
5Sukošan return
Half-day sail back; the wind usually fills from NW by lunchtime.
Central Dalmatia · the Hvar Circuit7 days · ~140 nm · 5 stops

Mixes the lively (Hvar town, Bol beach) with the still untouched (Vis, away from the cruise routes).

1Split
Charter base. Diocletian's Palace is worth a half-day before you leave.
2Brač
Bol's Golden Horn beach is the classic stop. Anchor in Lučice for quiet.
3Hvar
Hvar town is the party. Stari Grad on the north coast is the antidote.
4Vis
The far island, fewer charter boats, blue cave excursions, the freshest seafood on the route.
5Šolta
Quiet, close to Split. Maslinica is the prettiest anchorage on the island.
Istria & Kvarner7 days · ~120 nm · 4 stops

Italian-influenced architecture, the warmest water in Croatia by mid-July, fewer charter boats than further south.

1Pula
Roman amphitheatre at the harbour entrance. Charter base.
2Rovinj
Picture-perfect Venetian old town on a peninsula. Marina is small, book.
3Cres
Sparsely populated; griffon vultures overhead. Anchor in Lubenice cove for the cliff views.
4Krk
The largest Adriatic island. Punat marina is full-service if you need provisions or laundry.
