Perfect for couples or small groups. The Elan 40.1 is a comfortable mid-sized cruiser that sleeps up to 8 across 3 cabins, making it ideal for families or two couples sharing costs. At 12 metres, it's manageable for bareboat sailing without feeling cramped.

Well-equipped and thoughtfully appointed. This 2020 model comes with genuinely useful kit, autopilot, bow thruster, sprayhood, and bimini mean less elbow grease and more relaxation time. The teak cockpit and cushions add a touch of class, and having a chart plotter mounted in the cockpit is a practical bonus that saves cabin trips.

Solid value proposition. At €3,150 per week from a top-rated operator (5/5 across multiple reviews), you're getting a relatively new, well-maintained boat without premium pricing. The modest €1,500 deposit is refreshingly low-commitment for a charter of this calibre.

One thing to note: The base location data is missing from your listing, which matters significantly for transatlantic or European flyers calculating connection times and overnight hotels. I'd recommend confirming the exact charter base with Chilla Sailing before committing, especially if you're coordinating long-haul flights.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Kremik, in Primošten, Croatia. TOP SECRET 2020 is operated by Chilla 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 TOP SECRET 2020 be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter TOP SECRET 2020 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 TOP SECRET 2020?

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.
