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 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 44 - 47ft (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.

€470 per rental 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

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.

Perfect for groups The Excess 14 is ideal if you're chartering with extended family or friends—six cabins sleep up to 12, making per-person costs very reasonable for larger parties. It's a genuinely modern 2024 build, so everything should feel fresh and reliable.

Standout comfort features This catamaran doesn't skimp on amenities: water maker, generator, solar panels, Wi-Fi, and a flybridge mean you get both independence and creature comforts while exploring. The inclusion of snorkeling gear, SUP, and dinghy covers most water activities without extra rental costs.

Strong value proposition At this size and spec, the €4000 deposit is reasonable, and Istion Yachting's 5-star rating across 12 reviews suggests solid backup support if things go wrong. For international travelers flying in from the US or Europe, you're getting a well-equipped, low-hassle charter with a trusted operator.

One note on space With 12 berths in six cabins, some quarters will be cozy rather than spacious—expect smaller cabins for younger guests or plan cabin assignments carefully if anyone values privacy. Check the cabin layout before booking if sleeping arrangements matter to your group.

Can First Journey be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter First Journey 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 Journey?

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.
