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)

HR INTERNET Pack: Wi-Fi router (subject to GSM coverage up to 50GB/week)
Included at no extra cost. A nice touch — many operators charge €30–€50 per week for this.
Included mandatory
HR Tourist tax (final amount advised and payable at the base in cash)
Regulated rate, charged by the marina (not the operator).
€1.33 per person per night mandatory
HR SUP (FREE OF CHARGE)
Included mandatory
HR Transit Log | Catamaran up to 40ft (Welcome kit, Dinghy, Outboard & 1st fill of gasoline, Spare bottle of cooking gas, Wifi 50GBs, set of linens and bath towels/person/week for up to 2 weeks)
Above the Croatia average. Operators with higher transit logs often run newer fleets — usually a sign of investment, not a hidden charge.
€380 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.
€3,000 refundable mandatory

SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups This 2023 Excess 11 catamaran sleeps up to 10 across 6 cabins, making it ideal for families or friend groups wanting to split costs on a larger vessel. The dual-hull design offers stability and space that monohulls simply can't match at this size.

Modern, well-equipped You're getting genuinely useful kit here: solar panels for energy independence, Wi-Fi onboard, electric toilet, autopilot, and snorkeling gear included. The lazy jack and bag system makes sail handling straightforward, which matters when you've got mixed experience levels on deck.

Solid value proposition At just €3,000 deposit with a 5-star operator (Istion Yachting has genuine reviews), this feels fairly priced for a new cat with this many berths and modern conveniences. You're not paying premium rates for a boat that's genuinely practical rather than flashy.

One realistic note The base location didn't display in your data, so check transit time from your nearest major airport—Istion operates across Greece primarily, which usually means 2-4 hours from Athens or Thessaloniki. For long-haul travelers, that's worth factoring into your trip planning.

Frequently asked questions
Can First Glimpse be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter First Glimpse 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 First Glimpse?
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.
