SOLAR PANELS, UNDERWATER LIGHTS, BBQ IN COCKPIT

Ideal for families The Dufour 430 is a proven family cruiser with four cabins and space for up to 10 people, making it excellent value if you're splitting costs among friends or multi-generational groups. At €2,220 per week, you're getting a modern 2023 boat with solid comfort features without premium pricing.

Well-equipped vessel Kaja comes with thoughtful extras that justify the rate: solar panels for extended cruising independence, a bow thruster for tight anchorages, autopilot, heating, and even a barbecue grill in the cockpit. The teak cockpit, bimini, and sprayhood mean you'll stay comfortable in variable weather without constant adjustments.

Strong value proposition For international guests flying in, you're getting a modern, manageable 43-footer with excellent systems and no surprises, the 2023 build means everything works, and the €2,500 deposit is reasonable. Eol Yachting's 5-star rating is a good sign, though that's based on just one review.

One honest note The charter base location isn't specified in the details, so you'll need to confirm airport proximity and transfer logistics directly with Eol Yachting before booking, this matters when you're flying intercontinental.

The marina & destination

Based at Tehnomont Marina Veruda, in Pula, Croatia. Kaja is operated by Eol Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

Tehnomont Marina Veruda sits at the southern tip of the Istrian Peninsula, offering straightforward access to the protected waters of the northern Adriatic and the Brioni Islands archipelago. Week 1 charters typically explore the Brioni chain northward toward Rovinj and Novigrad, with steady afternoon breezes and short hops between secluded anchorages; southbound options extend toward the Limski Channel's dramatic limestone cliffs. The marina's location minimises your passage time, allowing more days spent anchored rather than transiting.

Can Kaja be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Kaja 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 Kaja?

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.
