What KateBot thinks Strengths and trade-offs
10 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention — ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter; on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Who It Suits. This five-cabin Dufour 560 works well for larger groups or extended families wanting comfortable sailing without charter company faffing around; eleven berths mean you can split costs across more people, which improves value significantly.
Standout Features. A 2016 model in decent condition with a sensible five-cabin layout and solid equipment package for bareboat sailing. The Dufour 560 is a well-proven cruiser known for easy handling and enough space below decks that people aren't climbing over each other.
Value For Money. At roughly 285 euros per person per week for a full crew of eleven, this vessel offers reasonable value if you can fill all the berths. However, at 3,140 euros base price for five cabins, it's not particularly cheap compared to equivalent boats at more established Mediterranean bases.
Location Consideration. Marina Kremik (Dalmatia, Croatia) sits about two hours from Split airport, which is manageable for international arrivals but not instantly convenient. Confirm whether the operator provides airport transfers and that English-speaking support is available, since local operators in this region vary significantly on customer communication.

The marina & destination Marina Kremik · Croatia
Based at Marina Kremik, Croatia. PETROVICH is operated by Under the Heavens Sailing.
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.
