SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for couples or small groups ZENITH suits international sailors who want a well-equipped modern cruiser without breaking the bank. At 17.2m with three cabins, she's spacious enough for two couples or a family, yet nimble enough to explore tight anchorages across the Adriatic.

Seriously solid spec This 2020 build ticks all the boxes: teak everywhere, air conditioning, full navigation suite with radar, lazy jack for easy sail handling, and genuinely useful extras like a dishwasher and Wi-Fi. The swimming platform and SUP board make those long sunny days feel properly luxurious without the mega-yacht price tag.

Strong value proposition A deposit of €3,500 combined with a modern, fully-featured boat in a five-star-rated fleet makes this genuinely competitive for the Adriatic charter market. You're getting 2020 build quality with the essentials covered—no surprise upgrade costs lurking.

One fair note The operator rating is based on just one review, so while that's positive, it's a smaller sample than you'd ideally want for peace of mind before committing internationally. Worth asking Adriatic Sailing directly about their broader track record and response times if issues arise during your charter.

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