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)

Standing Paddle board

Included 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

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 contemporary 2024 catamaran with spacious decks, modern comfort and smooth cruising for unforgettable time on the water. Equipment: generator & a/c, blue hull, underwater lights, dishwashing machine, ice maker, coffee machine, grill, watermaker

Perfect for groups This 2024 Dufour 48 catamaran sleeps up to 12 across six cabins, making it ideal for families or friend groups wanting to share costs on a larger vessel. The spacious layout and modern build year mean you're getting very current comfort standards and reliable systems.

Well-equipped galley You've got serious provisioning power here: water maker, dishwasher, ice maker, and multiple fridges mean minimal trips ashore for supplies and easy meal prep for a crowd. The air conditioning and heating are also genuine pluses if you're chartering outside peak summer months.

Solid value proposition At €7,200/week with a 5-star operator rating (albeit from a small sample), this represents competitive pricing for a brand-new 48-foot catamaran. The €3,000 deposit is reasonable, and the included navigation kit (dual chart plotters, radar, autopilot) saves you money versus bare-boat rates elsewhere.

One honest note The base location isn't specified in your details, so I'd confirm flight logistics before booking, some charter bases involve long ground transfers from major airports. That said, "Under the Heavens Sailing" has solid reviews, so they'll likely be transparent about connections and transfers when you enquire.

The marina & destination

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

You can charter UMA 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 UMA?

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.
