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.

Perfect for groups This 2020 Dufour 48 catamaran is ideally suited to larger parties or multi-family getaways, thanks to its 6 cabins and 12-berth capacity. The spacious layout and modern build year make it genuinely comfortable for groups who want to avoid cramped quarters.

Well-equipped vessel You're getting serious creature comforts here: air conditioning, heating, dishwasher, ice maker, underwater lights, and electric winches all come standard. The teak deck and cockpit add a touch of luxury, while the hydraulic gangway and sprayhood are practical touches that make life aboard easier, especially if the weather turns.

Strong value proposition At €5,760 per week with a 5/5 rating from the operator and only a €3,000 deposit, this boat delivers solid value for a 6-cabin catamaran of this age and spec. The inclusion of radar, autopilot, and modern navigation systems means you're not paying extra for essentials.

One practical note The base location isn't shown in your data, so I'd recommend confirming with Under the Heavens Sailing where you'll be departing from and how accessible it is from your nearest international airport. That detail will matter if you're flying in from overseas.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Kremik, in Primošten, Croatia. VAR is operated by Under the Heavens Sailing.

Splitska 22-24

Can VAR be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter VAR 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 VAR?

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.
