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)

COMFORT PACK (includes bed linen and 4 towels (incl. beach towel) per person, coffee pack (50 capsules), dinghy / outboard engine 6 HP, WiFi pack 50 GB, basic bathroom amenities, final cleaning)

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

€460 per rental mandatory

Tourist tax (per pax/week)

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

€1.33 per person per night 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.

A spacious 2020 yacht built for larger groups, offering modern comfort, smart layout and easy cruising in style. Equipment: generator & a/c, blue hull, underwater lights, full teak, dishwashing machine, ice maker, coffee machine, grill

Perfect for larger groups This 2020 Dufour 56 Exclusive sleeps up to 12 across six cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to share costs on a premium sailing experience. You're getting a relatively modern boat with excellent social capacity.

Well-equipped and comfortable BARMALEY comes loaded with creature comforts, air conditioning, heating, dishwasher, ice maker, and underwater lights suggest this owner prioritises comfort over roughing it. Electric winches and a bow thruster make handling easier for mixed-ability crews, while radar and a chart plotter keep navigation straightforward.

Solid value proposition A 2020 Dufour 56 with this specification and a five-star operator rating (admittedly based on a small sample) represents fair value for a big-boat charter. The €2,500 deposit is reasonable and the fully-equipped galley saves money on dining out.

Base location unclear The charter base isn't listed in your data, which matters hugely for international travellers like most SailChecker clients, you'll need to confirm airport proximity and flight connections before booking. I'd recommend contacting Under the Heavens Sailing directly to verify logistics and whether they offer airport transfers for long-haul arrivals.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Kremik, in Primošten, Croatia. BARMALEY is operated by Under the Heavens 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 BARMALEY be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter BARMALEY 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 BARMALEY?

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.
