SOLAR PANELS, UNDERWATER LIGHTS, BBQ & FRIDGE IN COCKPIT

Ideal for cruisers This 2023 Elan is a solid choice for small groups or families wanting modern comfort without breaking the bank. At 13.8m with three cabins and space for eight, it balances livability with manageable handling for mixed-experience crews.

Well-equipped modern boat You're getting genuinely useful gear here, bow thruster for tight anchorages, autopilot for longer passages, solar panels to reduce generator noise, and heating for shoulder-season sailing. The teak cockpit and bimini make time on deck genuinely pleasant, and the barbecue transforms dinners at anchor.

Keen pricing, friendly operator At €3,197 per week from Eol Yachting, this represents fair value for a near-new Elan with this spec. The operator's 5-star rating is a positive signal, though note it's based on just one review, worth asking current clients directly about their experience.

One practical note The listing shows no base location, so confirm where you'll be collecting the yacht and factor in airport transfers for your long-haul flight. Once you have those details, you can properly assess travel logistics and whether this location suits your itinerary.

The marina & destination

Based at Tehnomont Marina Veruda, in Pula, Croatia. Polaris is operated by Eol Yachting.

Cesta prekomorskih brigada 12

Why this is a great starting point

Tehnomont Marina Veruda sits at the southern tip of the Istrian Peninsula, offering straightforward access to the protected waters of the northern Adriatic and the Brioni Islands archipelago. Week 1 charters typically explore the Brioni chain northward toward Rovinj and Novigrad, with steady afternoon breezes and short hops between secluded anchorages; southbound options extend toward the Limski Channel's dramatic limestone cliffs. The marina's location minimises your passage time, allowing more days spent anchored rather than transiting.

Can Polaris be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Polaris 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 Polaris?

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.
