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 pax/week)

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

€1.33 per person per night mandatory

COMFORT PACK (includes bed linen and 4 towels (incl. beach towel) per person, coffee pack (50 capsules), dinghy / outboard engine 20 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.

€650 per rental mandatory

Standing Paddle board

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.

A fresh 2024 catamaran designed for easy, stylish cruising with bright interiors and plenty of room for everyone onboard. Equipment: generator & a/c, underwater lights, dishwashing machine, ice maker, coffee machine, grill, watermaker

Perfect for larger groups. The Dufour 48 catamaran sleeps up to 12 across six cabins, making it ideal if you're chartering with extended family or friends, you'll have proper private space for everyone rather than squeezing into a monohull. The 2024 build year means everything is current and reliable.

Well-equipped modern vessel. This boat doesn't skimp on comfort: air conditioning, heating, water maker, dishwasher, and underwater lights are all included, plus dual chart plotters and radar for confident navigation. The flybridge and bimini top give you excellent outdoor living space, and hydraulic gangway access makes boarding easier with luggage and guests.

Solid value proposition. At €7,200/week with a modest €3,000 deposit, you're paying reasonable rates for a brand-new, full-spec catamaran this size, particularly one that can genuinely accommodate 12 people comfortably. The 5/5 operator rating (albeit from just four reviews) suggests Under the Heavens Sailing maintains their charter fleet well.

One consideration: We don't have the base location listed here, so you'll want to confirm flight connections and transfer time from your nearest international airport before booking. Catamaran charters are excellent for calm-water cruising, but if you're targeting open-ocean sailing, confirm the charter zone first.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Kremik, in Primošten, Croatia. PANDO 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 PANDO be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter PANDO 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 PANDO?

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.
