Perfect for couples and small families This 2019 Ferretti is ideal if you're looking for a comfortable, modern motor yacht without the complexity of sailing. With three cabins sleeping six, it suits two couples or a family wanting to explore the Adriatic in genuine comfort rather than roughing it.

Solid cruising credentials The bow thruster, autopilot, and air conditioning make longer passages genuinely relaxing, while the swimming platform and dinghy open up quiet anchorages away from the crowds. Decent onboard kit like the generator and TV mean you're not sacrificing home comforts if the weather turns.

Fair value for the market At €10,300 per week from an established Adriatic operator, this hits a sweet spot, you're paying for a well-maintained, relatively recent vessel with proper amenities rather than stretching to a larger superyacht or compromising on an older boat. The €6,000 deposit is reasonable given the rental cost.

One realistic consideration Motor yachts drink fuel, and Adriatic fuel costs aren't trivial, so factor that into your budget before booking. If you're flying long-haul from the US or northern Europe, the base location (which wasn't specified in the listing) will affect your overall trip logistics, worth confirming transfer times to the marina before committing.

Why this is a great starting point

D-Marin Marina Mandalina in Šibenik sits perfectly positioned for exploring the central Dalmatian coast, with the Kornati Islands and Pakleni Islands within easy reach of your first week's sailing. The marina offers good shelter and full facilities, making it an ideal base to head north toward the island-dotted Zadar region or south to Hvar and Brač, depending on prevailing northwesterly winds. Week 1 typically involves island-hopping through shallow, protected waters with consistent afternoon breezes, ideal for building confidence before venturing further along the coast.

Can Dream be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Dream 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 Dream?

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.
