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.
Solid family choice The Jeanneau 53 Premium suits families and groups of up to 9 who want a proven, comfortable sailing platform without breaking the bank. Five cabins mean everyone gets reasonable privacy, and the 2014 build is well-maintained enough for reliable cruising around the Adriatic.
Notable highlights here You're getting proper cruising kit, radar and autopilot make longer passages easier, air conditioning matters in Mediterranean heat, and the included dinghy opens up anchorages beyond the main ports. The zero deposit is refreshingly honest, though do read the fine print on damage liability.
Good value proposition At this length and cabin count, pricing sits in the sensible mid-range for Dubrovnik-based charters; you're not paying premium rates for a 2014 boat, which is fair. The Jeanneau 53 is a workhorse design with proven resale value, so operators keep them well.
One real consideration Nine berths sounds spacious until you're actually living aboard for a week, the smaller cabins will feel tight with couples and kids. Factor in that Dubrovnik's airport involves a scenic but 20, 30 minute drive, so plan your arrival time carefully if you're flying long-haul from North America or northern Europe.

ACI Marina Dubrovnik sits at the southern tip of the Dalmatian coast, offering immediate access to the Elaphiti Islands and the protected waters around Lopud and Kolocep; week one typically involves gentle coastal hops south towards Cavtat or northwest towards the Peljesac Peninsula, with consistent northwesterly winds in summer allowing straightforward sailing between established anchorages. The marina's position makes it ideal if you want to combine urban exploration in Dubrovnik's old town with short-passage cruising, though the busy charter base means the immediate anchorages fill quickly in peak season.
