What KateBot thinks
KateBot generated · ~200 words
Perfect for groups This 14m catamaran sleeps up to 12 across four cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to share costs on a larger vessel. The 2024 build means everything is modern and reliable, which matters when you're flying long-haul to reach your charter base.
Well-equipped boat Electric winches and autopilot take the strain out of sailing, while solar panels and an inverter keep systems running efficiently without constant engine use. You've got the essentials covered, chart plotter, galley appliances, and an electric toilet, so comfort is built in from day one.
Solid value proposition A €2,500 deposit for a 12-berth catamaran is reasonable, and the five-star operator rating (albeit from limited reviews) suggests the team at Charter 4 Fun maintains their fleet well. Split between a group, weekly rates on a boat this size are genuinely competitive.
Base location gap We don't have the charter base details listed, so you'll need to confirm the location directly with the operator, that'll affect your flight connections and transfer time from the airport. Once you know where she's based, you can plan your international travel accordingly.

Where Charters Went

Here is where charter yachts tracked by AIS spent their nights on round trips from Rogoznica and Primošten during the 2026 season so far. The heat map brings those recorded overnight stops together so you can compare past activity with your own yacht charter plans. It is not a navigation guide.
Maslinica appeared on 26% of trips, Uvala Stonca on 25% and ACI Palmižana on 22%. Maslinica also led first nights at 12% and last nights at 8%. The furthest straight-line point from base was 20 to 40 nm on 51% of trips.
Have a look at the full map and compare the overnight stops before choosing a route. If you're considering this type of boat for a yacht charter from Rogoznica and Primošten, we're happy to talk through your plans.

Northern Dalmatia & the Kornati Loop
