About this yacht
Heating, Racing sails
SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for couples This First 35 suits pairs or small groups of 2, 4 looking for an affordable sailing escape without sacrificing comfort or gear. The two-cabin layout works well for one couple or friends sharing, and the modest 10.7m length keeps operating costs lean.

Well-equipped cruiser Thetis punches above its weight with genuinely useful kit: bimini and sprayhood for weather protection, chart plotter for navigation, dinghy for exploration, and heating for shoulder-season comfort. The racing sails suggest she'll feel responsive on the water, and Wi-Fi connectivity is a nice practical touch for staying in contact.

Strong value proposition At €1,152 per week from a Croatia base, you're getting a capable yacht at a genuinely competitive rate, especially compared to equivalent boats in the Mediterranean. The modest €2,000 deposit also keeps your upfront commitment reasonable.

Age worth noting At 13 years old, Thetis is showing her vintage, and First 35s were built for spirited sailing rather than luxury lounging. If you're seeking a pampered, resort-style experience, look elsewhere; if you want honest sailing value and don't mind a boat with character, she delivers.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Polesana, in Pula, Croatia. THETIS is operated by Croatia Sailing Charter.

Sv. Katarina, Ul. Vallelunga 90

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Polesana in Pula sits at the northern gateway to the Adriatic, positioning you well for week-one cruising through the Istrian Peninsula and down towards the central Dalmatian islands. Light northeasterly winds typically prevail in summer, making the sail south to Rovinj, Vrsar, and the Pakleni Islands straightforward, with plenty of sheltered anchorages and working fishing villages to explore. The marina itself offers good facilities and a calm home base before you venture into deeper cruising grounds.

Frequently asked questions
Can THETIS be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter THETIS 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 THETIS?
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.
