SailChecker note

19 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention — ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter; on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.

Who This Suits. Bluebell works well for mixed groups or families wanting a motorised Adriatic cruise without the sailing skills or physical demands; the three cabins sleep six comfortably, and the 2007 Ferretti build quality means solid mid-range comfort rather than budget basics.

What Stands Out. This is a proper motor yacht, not a sailing keelboat, so you get engine reliability and easier handling in tight anchorages; Split's ACI Marina is well-positioned for exploring the Dalmatian coast, and the fuel range lets you cover serious distance between fuel stops.

Value For Money. At €7900 per week from a reputable operator, you are paying fair rates for a 14-metre motor yacht in the Mediterranean; deposits sit at €5000, which is standard for this class and size, so no nasty surprises there.

One Thing To Note. Bluebell is now 17 years old, so while Ferretti builds robustly, you should confirm the engine hours and service history with Feel Yachting before booking; older motor yachts can eat fuel if maintenance has been patchy, and that affects your running costs significantly.

Why this is a great starting point

ACI Marina Split sits at the heart of the Dalmatian coast, giving you immediate access to the sheltered island-hopping grounds of central Dalmatia within a 20-nautical-mile radius. Week one typically involves cruising south toward Hvar and Vis, or north to Trogir and the Pakleni Islands, with consistent northwesterly winds (the Maestral) favouring both directions. The marina itself is well-equipped with provisioning and repair facilities, and the nearby medieval Old Town means crew can explore while the boat is prepared.

Location: ACI Marina Split · Croatia
Check-in: Flexible from 17:00. Alternative times can usually be agreed with the operator at booking.
Check-out: By 09:00 on the return day. Empty the boat, refuel if required, then a 30-minute handover with the base manager.
Licences: None needed: this is a fully crewed charter. The professional crew hold all required licences, so no sailing qualifications or experience are required from your party.
Security deposit: €5,000 · held at base by card swipe or cash. Refunded after handover provided the boat and inventory are returned undamaged.
Cancellation: Cancellation terms are operator-specific and disclosed in the charter contract before payment. As a rule, most Mediterranean operators retain the full charter fee within 30 days of departure; we recommend charter cancellation insurance via a UK broker (typically 4-5% of the charter fee).

Does Bluebell come with a crew?

Bluebell is chartered fully crewed. Your captain and crew handle the sailing, provisioning, and itinerary, so no sailing licence or experience is required from you or your guests.

What experience do we need to charter Bluebell?

None. This is a fully crewed charter: the professional crew run the yacht, so no licence, certificate, or prior sailing experience is needed. Tell us what you want from the week and the crew plan around it.

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 and proof of payment. The captain sends a preference sheet ahead of time covering dietary requirements, preferences, and any special requests, so the crew can plan the week around you.

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.

What is included on a fully crewed charter?

A crewed charter includes the yacht and its professional crew (typically a captain plus chef and/or hostess on larger yachts). The crew handle navigation, cooking, and the daily running of the boat; you agree the itinerary together. Fuel, food, drinks, and port fees are usually settled via an Advance Provisioning Allowance (commonly around 30 percent of the charter fee), confirmed on your quote.

Can we sail to a neighbouring country during the charter?

Sometimes, with the operator's written consent and the right paperwork. Common cross-borders: Croatia → Montenegro, Greece → Turkey, BVI → USVI. Most operators charge a one-off cruising-permit fee (typically €100–€300) and need 4–8 weeks' notice. Tell us at quote time and we'll arrange it — spontaneous border-crossing during the trip usually isn't allowed.

Do I need travel insurance on top of the charter insurance?

Yes. The yacht is insured by the operator for damage and third-party liability, but that doesn't cover you. Charter cancellation insurance (typically 4–5% of the charter fee) covers you if you have to cancel last-minute; standard travel insurance covers medical, flight, and personal-effects loss. We can recommend a UK broker that bundles both.

What happens if there's bad weather on the day?

For day-to-day weather you'll plan the week to avoid the worst — the Adriatic and Aegean have very predictable wind patterns. If a serious storm makes the start-day handover impossible, the operator delays check-in until conditions improve and refunds any lost days. The yacht itself is insured against weather damage, so you're not exposed.

Can I hold this yacht while I decide?

Yes — an option holds the yacht in your name for typically 48–72 hours at no cost. Useful if you're waiting on the rest of the crew to confirm, comparing it against another yacht, or sorting flights. Ask us when you enquire and we'll arrange the option with the operator.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
