What KateBot thinks Strengths and trade-offs KateBot generated · ~200 words

Who It Suits. This 40-footer works well for small groups or families after a straightforward sailing week in Croatia without breaking the bank. With three cabins and eight berths, you'll have comfortable sleeping arrangements, though the smaller layout means less private space per person than larger vessels.

The Strong Points. The 2017 Elan Impression is a proven cruiser with good handling characteristics and a solid reputation for reliability. Based in Split, you're positioned perfectly for exploring the Dalmatian coast, and it's only a short transfer from the airport for most international arrivals.

Real Value Here. At under 1,700 euros per week, this yacht offers genuine value if you're after a straightforward summer cruise rather than luxury. The 1,400-euro deposit is reasonable, and Orvas has a solid track record in the region.

One Thing To Note. Three cabins for eight people means shared sleeping quarters and communal living; this works fine for friends but families may find the shared bathroom arrangements a bit tight over a full week. Check whether the layout includes ensuite facilities or if guests are sharing heads, as this can affect comfort on longer charters.

The marina & destination ACI Marina Split · Croatia ACI Marina Split

Based at ACI Marina Split, Croatia. TINO is operated by Orvas Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

ACI Marina Split sits at the heart of the Dalmatian coast, giving you immediate access to the sheltered island-hopping grounds of central Dalmatia within a 20-nautical-mile radius. Week one typically involves cruising south toward Hvar and Vis, or north to Trogir and the Pakleni Islands, with consistent northwesterly winds (the Maestral) favouring both directions. The marina itself is well-equipped with provisioning and repair facilities, and the nearby medieval Old Town means crew can explore while the boat is prepared.

Frequently asked questions 14 answers Charter basics · deposits · what's included
Can TINO be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter TINO 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 TINO?
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.
Bareboat or skippered — which suits our crew?
Bareboat is for crews with at least one experienced skipper (RYA Day Skipper / ICC level) plus a co-skipper, and a track record of similar passages. Skippered charters add a professional skipper for typically £150–£250 per day — recommended if anyone in your group is light on Mediterranean experience, if you want a relaxed week without responsibility, or if the area is new to you. You can also hire a hostess (cook + cabin help) on top.
Can we sail to a neighbouring country during the charter?
Sometimes, with the operator's written consent and the right paperwork. Common cross-borders: Croatia → Montenegro, Greece → Turkey, BVI → USVI. Most operators charge a one-off cruising-permit fee (typically €100–€300) and need 4–8 weeks' notice. Tell us at quote time and we'll arrange it — spontaneous border-crossing during the trip usually isn't allowed.
Do I need travel insurance on top of the charter insurance?
Yes. The yacht is insured by the operator for damage and third-party liability, but that doesn't cover you. Charter cancellation insurance (typically 4–5% of the charter fee) covers you if you have to cancel last-minute; standard travel insurance covers medical, flight, and personal-effects loss. We can recommend a UK broker that bundles both.
What happens if there's bad weather on the day?
For day-to-day weather you'll plan the week to avoid the worst — the Adriatic and Aegean have very predictable wind patterns. If a serious storm makes the start-day handover impossible, the operator delays check-in until conditions improve and refunds any lost days. The yacht itself is insured against weather damage, so you're not exposed.
Can I hold this yacht while I decide?
Yes — an option holds the yacht in your name for typically 48–72 hours at no cost. Useful if you're waiting on the rest of the crew to confirm, comparing it against another yacht, or sorting flights. Ask us when you enquire and we'll arrange the option with the operator.
