What you'll pay

Bang on the Croatia average (€200–€350 typical for boats this size).

€330 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.

Ideal for: Groups and families wanting a modern, well-equipped cruiser without breaking the bank. The 4 cabins sleep up to 10, making it perfect for multiple couples or a family gathering on the water.

What stands out: This 2024 Elan is genuinely new, meaning pristine interiors and the latest systems, solar panels, Wi-Fi, autopilot, and a bow thruster all make sailing easier and more comfortable. The teak cockpit and bimini are practical touches that work hard in Mediterranean sun.

Value proposition: The deposit is refreshingly low at €2,500, and Orvas Yachting carries a solid 5-star rating, which matters when you're chartering from abroad. For a near-new 45-footer sleeping 10, this feels reasonably priced relative to the competition.

One caveat: The operator's review count is small (just 2), so you're trusting a newer or smaller operation. I'd recommend reading those reviews closely and contacting Orvas directly to confirm current availability and any seasonal pricing before committing, especially if you're coordinating international flights.

The marina & destination

Based at ACI Marina Split, in Split, Croatia. EMOTION 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.

Can EMOTION be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter EMOTION 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 EMOTION?

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.
