SailChecker Expert View

Solid cruiser for couples The Fjord 53 XL is a well-appointed modern motoryacht that works beautifully for two couples or a family of four seeking comfort without the complexity of sailing. At 16.7 metres, she's nimble enough for exploring tight anchorages yet spacious enough that guests won't feel cramped during a week away.

Standout comfort features The ice maker and refrigerator signal thoughtful design for extended cruising, you're not roughing it on this vessel. As a 2024 build, you're getting the latest in build quality and systems, which matters when you're paying to charter rather than own.

Excellent value proposition A zero deposit is genuinely unusual and makes entry into this charter extremely accessible; that alone signals Adria Luxury Boats is confident in their operation and keen on bookings. For a brand-new two-cabin motoryacht in the Adriatic (a prime European sailing region), the pricing here is competitive.

Worth clarifying upfront We don't have the base location or daily rate listed, so I'd recommend confirming flight logistics, the Adriatic is well-served by major hubs like Split, Dubrovnik, and Venice, all with good airport transfer options, but distances vary significantly.

The marina & destination

Why this is a great starting point

Split's East Harbour is the natural launch point for exploring the central Dalmatian islands, with Hvar, Vis, and Brač all within half a day's sailing; the Pakleni Islands offer protected anchorages for your first night out. Week 1 typically involves working south along the Dalmatian coast under prevailing northwesterly winds, island-hopping between quiet bays and established towns with good provisioning. The Adriatic's reliable thermal winds mean consistent daily sailing conditions, and you'll return to Split with time to explore the city's Roman Palace before flying home.

Frequently asked questions
Can ALB 2 be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter ALB 2 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 ALB 2?
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.
