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.

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

€1.33 per person per night mandatory

Transit log (Final cleaning,WiFi,Dinghy,Outboard engine and fuel,Linen ready made beds,Towels 2 per pax,Cooking gas,Kitchen toiletry,Toilet paper)

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

€410 per rental 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.

3 or 4 cabins removable wall

Perfect for families. The Dufour 460 is a spacious four-cabin cruiser that sleeps ten, making it ideal for multi-generational groups or two couples who want their own space. The 2024 sail upgrade is a genuine plus for performance and peace of mind.

Seriously well-equipped. This yacht has nearly everything: air conditioning, heating, bow thruster, electric winches, autopilot, radar, and a proper chart plotter, you're looking at comfortable, modern cruising without the typical compromises of bareboat sailing. The teak cockpit with cushions, sprayhood, and bimini means the outdoor space is genuinely liveable in variable weather.

Solid value proposition. At €3,195 per week with fresh sails, good systems, and full creature comforts, this sits well for the spec and cabin count. The €2,000 deposit is reasonable, and Chilla Sailing's 5-star rating (though only three reviews) suggests solid operator support, helpful when you're flying in from abroad.

One honest note. The base location isn't listed here, so you'll need to confirm the charter location and airport transfer time before booking; some Mediterranean bases require 2, 3 hours' drive from major hubs, which factors into your travel day.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Kremik, in Primošten, Croatia. MADICKEN (new sails 2024., air condition) is operated by Chilla Sailing.

Splitska 22-24

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Kremik in Primošten sits on the central Dalmatian coast, putting you within easy reach of the Dalmatian Islands for your first week. From here you can sail south to Brač and Hvar (4-6 hours), or north to Šibenik and the Kornati archipelago (3-4 hours), giving you flexible options depending on wind conditions. The shallow, sheltered waters and island-hopping routes make this a good base for building confidence before venturing further, with steady northwesterly breezes typical for summer cruising.

Can MADICKEN (new sails 2024., air condition) be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter MADICKEN (new sails 2024., air condition) 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 MADICKEN (new sails 2024., air condition)?

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.
