The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance. Cleaning, tourist tax, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are billed at the base — we confirm the full breakdown when you request a quote.
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.
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.

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.
