What you'll pay

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.

Paid at the base (mandatory)

Tourist tax, payable by cash

Regulated rate, charged by the marina (not the operator).

€1.33 per person per night mandatory

Transit log premium, outboard included

Above the Croatia average. Operators with higher transit logs often run newer fleets — usually a sign of investment, not a hidden charge.

€360 per rental mandatory

Refundable security deposit

Held at check-in (card pre-auth or bank transfer), refunded after charter if the yacht is returned without damage. Deposit-waiver insurance is one of the optional extras below — reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.

Ideal for larger groups This 2022 Jeanneau 54 suits families or friends wanting genuine sailing comfort without sacrificing space, 12 berths across 5 cabins means everyone gets decent privacy, which matters on week-long charters. It's newish and well-equipped, so you're not dealing with tired systems.

Smart modern touches Electric winches and a bow thruster take the physical grind out of sailing, while air conditioning, a swimming platform, and cockpit speakers transform downtime into genuine relaxation. The autopilot is essential for boats this size, and it's reassuring to see it standard.

Solid value proposition At this size and specification with a 5-star operator rating, the €2,500 deposit feels reasonable, Candor Charter's track record suggests they maintain their fleet properly. You're getting a genuinely modern boat without paying superyacht prices.

One honest note The charter base location isn't listed in your data, which matters for long-haul travel from the US or northern Europe, factor in airport transfers and connecting flights before booking. Once you confirm where she's based, verify flight times to the nearest international airport to make sure the logistics work for your group's schedule.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Kaštela, in Kaštel Gomilica, Croatia. Il Gatto is operated by Candor Charter.

Franje Tuđmana 213

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Kaštela sits within the Kaštela Bay system near Split, giving you immediate access to the central Dalmatian islands and the Adriatic's most protected cruising grounds. Week one typically involves exploring nearby Brač, Hvar, and Vis, with steady northwesterly winds ideal for sailing south toward the Pakleni Islands and Vis's excellent anchorages. The marina's proximity to Split airport and good shelter make it a practical base for longer-range cruising toward Korčula or Lastovo if conditions allow.

Can Il Gatto be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Il Gatto 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 Il Gatto?

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.
