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.
Perfect starter choice The Dufour 382 Grand Large is an excellent entry-level cruiser for families or small groups new to sailing, it's forgiving to handle and roomy enough for 8 berths across 3 cabins without feeling cramped. At 11.2m, it's compact enough for less experienced sailors yet comfortable for week-long holidays.
Smart practical features Louise comes well-equipped for modern cruising: solar panels reduce fuel costs, the bow thruster makes tight mooring situations stress-free, and essentials like a sprayhood and bimini keep you comfortable in variable weather. The chart plotter in the cockpit and dinghy are genuinely useful for independent exploration.
Excellent value proposition At €1,615/week with only a €1,000 deposit, this represents solid value for a 2015 boat that's clearly maintained (Asta Yachting's 5/5 rating speaks volumes). You're paying fair money without premium pricing.
One realistic caveat The Dufour 382 is a popular charter workhorse, so availability can be tight during peak summer, book early if you're targeting July or August. Also note: we don't have the charter base location listed, so factor in your flight connection time when planning your trip from the US or Europe.

Based at D-Marin Dalmacija Marina, in Sukošan, Croatia. LOUISE is operated by Asta Yachting.
Bibinje-Sukošan 1
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.
