Perfect for comfort seekers. This 2024 Dufour 41 is ideal if you want modern cruising without roughing it, air con, generator, heating, and Wi-Fi mean you're genuinely comfortable, even in shoulder seasons or hot climates. The 3-cabin, 8-berth layout works well for groups or families wanting their own space.

Standout features here. The teak cockpit with bimini and sprayhood creates a proper outdoor living area, while the bow thruster and autopilot take stress out of tight anchorages and long passages. Fresh-out-of-the-box condition plus that comprehensive gear list (dinghy included) means minimal hassle on arrival.

Strong value proposition. At €3,261/week with a 5-star operator rating and only a €2,000 deposit, this is competitive pricing for a brand-new, fully equipped cruiser, especially if your base location suits your travel plans from the US or Europe. You're getting genuine kit without inflated premium pricing.

One honest note: The operator details are missing from the listing, so you'll want to confirm the base location first, that 11.9m boat needs to be somewhere genuinely convenient to your flight, not a 4-hour drive away. Once you've verified access, this is a solid pick.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Frapa, in Rogoznica, Croatia. Ava (A/C & gen) is operated by Ban Tours.

Uvala Soline 1

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Frapa sits in central Dalmatia with easy access to the Adriatic's most sheltered cruising grounds; week one typically takes you through the Trogir archipelago and down to Hvar and Pakleni Islands, all within 20-30 nautical miles of departure. The prevailing northwesterly Maestral winds favour downwind passages along this coast, making for straightforward sailing with plenty of anchorages and small ports to explore. The nearby Dalmatian islands offer protected waters ideal for crews new to the area, while larger boats can venture further south towards Korcula and Vis by mid-week.

Can Ava (A/C & gen) be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Ava (A/C & gen) 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 Ava (A/C & gen)?

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.
