About this yacht
A striking 2022 performance yacht with modern elegance, spacious comfort and exciting sailing for a truly elevated charter. Equipment: generator & a/c, full teak, coffee machine, ice maker
SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for families This 2022 First 53 is a solid choice for groups of 4, 7 wanting a comfortable, modern sailing experience. The four cabins and decent berth count make it flexible for families or friends splitting costs.

Quality build and comfort You're getting a well-specified boat here, teak deck and cockpit elevate the feel, while air conditioning, heating, and a generator mean you won't rough it. The autopilot and chart plotter take stress out of longer passages, and the Bimini keeps sun exposure manageable during those long Mediterranean or Atlantic days.

Strong value proposition At around €4,914 per week with only a €3,000 deposit, the pricing is competitive for a newer, 17-metre sailing yacht. The five-star operator rating (though based on limited reviews) suggests reliable service and well-maintained kit.

Missing details matter We don't have the charter base location listed, so you'll need to confirm travel logistics, airport transfer time and flight connections are crucial when you're coming from the US or central Europe. Equally, clarify what's included (provisioning, skipper availability, fuel costs) before booking, as these can swing the true cost significantly.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Kremik, in Primošten, Croatia. Silhuette is operated by Under the Heavens Sailing.

Splitska 22-24

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Kremik in Primošten sits on the central Dalmatian coast, putting you within easy reach of the Dalmatian Islands for your first week. From here you can sail south to Brač and Hvar (4-6 hours), or north to Šibenik and the Kornati archipelago (3-4 hours), giving you flexible options depending on wind conditions. The shallow, sheltered waters and island-hopping routes make this a good base for building confidence before venturing further, with steady northwesterly breezes typical for summer cruising.

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