What you'll pay

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.

Paid at the base (mandatory)

Tourist tax per person

Regulated rate, charged by the marina (not the operator).

€1.33 per day mandatory

Outboard engine - free of charge

Included mandatory

Service pack (Final cleaning, laundry, towels, 1x cooking gas bottle, dinghy and outboard engine, document preparation and registration of the guests)

Above the Croatia average. Operators with higher transit logs often run newer fleets — usually a sign of investment, not a hidden charge.

€390 per rental mandatory

Bed linen + towels - free of charge

Included mandatory

Refundable security deposit

Held at check-in (card pre-auth or bank transfer), refunded after charter if the yacht is returned without damage. Deposit-waiver insurance is one of the optional extras below — reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.

Perfect for families The Dufour 460 is a brilliant choice if you're bringing kids or want to split costs with friends—10 berths across 4 cabins means everyone gets their own space without feeling cramped. It's a proven, sensible cruiser that won't demand expert sailing skills.

Comfort matters here Solar panels, air conditioning, heating, and a proper galley make this feel less like roughing it and more like a floating holiday home. The bow thruster and autopilot take stress out of tight anchorages and longer passages, while the sprayhood and bimini keep you shaded and dry.

Solid value proposition At €3,375/week plus a €3,000 deposit, you're paying reasonable money for a well-equipped 2018 boat that handles 10 people—that's about €340 per person per week if you fill the berths. You get modern conveniences (chart plotter, AC, solar) without premium pricing.

One honest heads-up We don't have the charter base location listed, so I can't tell you airport transfer times or how convenient the logistics are from your home airport. Before committing, confirm where this boat is based and factor in your international travel costs—that matters for total trip value.

Can Cygnus be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Cygnus 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 Cygnus?

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.
