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.
Best for couples or small families after a relaxed, slow-travel escape rather than serious sailing, this is a classic motor trawler built for comfort and exploration, not speed or performance. The three cabins sleep eight, making it workable for groups, but the 2001 vintage means you're chartering character and practicality over cutting-edge modern fit-out.
Real standout features: The flybridge is genuinely useful for cruising and sightseeing, air conditioning matters on warmer Mediterranean weeks, and a generator gives you independence from shore power. Teak cockpit and sprayhood suggest thoughtful, weather-conscious design that's held up well for a boat this age.
Value is solid at roughly €5,440 per week, you're paying reasonable money for a spacious, well-equipped motor boat based in Croatia's established charter region. The €2,000 deposit is reassuringly modest, signaling confidence from Classic Adria in their vessel condition.
One honest caveat: A 23-year-old boat needs respect; mechanicals on older trawlers can surprise you mid-week, and running costs (fuel, generator hours) will add up faster than a newer, efficient hull. Budget extra and confirm engine service records with the operator before committing.

Based at Marina Zadar, in Zadar, Croatia. SEA LION is operated by Classic Adria.

Marina Zadar sits at the gateway to the central Dalmatian islands, making it ideal for week-one cruising toward the Pakleni Islands and Hvar. Northwesterly winds dominate in summer, pushing you naturally down the coast; typical first-week itineraries work the 30-40 nautical mile run to Vis or Korcula, with reliable shelter in between. The shallow, island-dotted waters suit both confident and cautious sailors, and you can reach established anchorages and small-town provisioning stops within easy day-sail distances.
