Perfect for groups. Paco is an excellent choice if you're chartering with family or friends, those 4 cabins and 12 berths mean you can spread out comfortably, and the teak cockpit is ideal for socializing at anchor.

Modern and well-equipped. As a 2022 Lagoon 40, this catamaran punches above its weight with air conditioning, electric winches, a generator, and autopilot, genuine comfort features that make multi-day passages feel less like work and more like sailing.

Strong value proposition. The €3,500 deposit is reasonable for a modern cat of this caliber, and the 5-star operator rating (though based on just 2 reviews) suggests Smart Sail knows how to maintain their fleet properly.

One heads-up: We don't have pricing details or the charter base location listed here, so before you commit, confirm how far the base is from your nearest international airport and what the total weekly cost actually is, those factors will shape whether this really works for your trip.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Novi, in Novi Vinodolski, Croatia. Paco is operated by Smart Sail.

Mel 1B

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Novi sits on Croatia's central Adriatic coast and works well as a base for exploring the Dalmatian islands and channels within a week's sailing. From here you can reach the popular islands of Hvar, Vis, and Korcula heading south, or cruise north toward Rijeka and the Kvarner islands, with consistent northwesterly boras making these passages straightforward. The sheltered waters and numerous anchorages in this region suit both confident and moderate sailors, and you'll find good provisioning in Novi itself.

Can Paco be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Paco 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 Paco?

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.
