What you'll pay

Perfect for groups. With 6 cabins sleeping 12, Gladis suits families or friend groups wanting to split costs, especially appealing if you're flying in from North America or continental Europe and want to maximize your party size without chartering multiple vessels.

Well-equipped modern cat. Built in 2023, this Excess 14 catamaran hits the sweet spot between comfort and practicality: electric winches reduce crew fatigue, air conditioning and heating handle Mediterranean and Atlantic seasons, and the lazy bag keeps mainsail handling effortless. Onboard coffee maker and ice maker are genuine conveniences on longer charters.

Excellent weekly value. At €6,307 per week, you're paying roughly €526 per berth, genuinely competitive for a brand-new catamaran with this cabin count and modern systems. The €4,000 deposit is reasonable and protects both you and the operator.

One practical note: We don't have the charter base location listed here, so confirm airport access before booking, transfer times vary wildly depending whether you're based in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, or elsewhere. Once you know the location, ask Sea Drive about their preferred arrival day and whether they offer pre-charter provisioning, since coordinating 12 people's preferences can be a logistical win on a boat this size.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Zadar, in Zadar, Croatia. Gladis is operated by Sea Drive.

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Zadar sits at the gateway to the central Dalmatian islands, making it ideal for week-one cruising toward the Pakleni Islands and Hvar. Northwesterly winds dominate in summer, pushing you naturally down the coast; typical first-week itineraries work the 30-40 nautical mile run to Vis or Korcula, with reliable shelter in between. The shallow, island-dotted waters suit both confident and cautious sailors, and you can reach established anchorages and small-town provisioning stops within easy day-sail distances.

Can Gladis be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Gladis 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 Gladis?

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.
