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/per person (total sum calculated upon check-in)

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

€1.33 per night mandatory

Comfort Pack 38/39/40/42 (final cleaning, bed linen and towels, unlimited Wi-Fi)

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

€500 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.

€2,500 refundable mandatory

Services & extras (optional)

Ice Maker - limited availability

€50 per week optional

Skipper up to 48' (Meals excluded. A separate cabin and toilet must be provided for accommodation unless located in the front peak; crew info available in the week prior the charter start)

Perfect for groups. The 12-berth capacity makes this 2024 Lagoon 42 ideal for larger parties—families, friends, or corporate getaways—who want to split costs across multiple cabins. The catamaran's stability and spacious deck layout mean everyone gets comfort without feeling cramped.

Modern essentials included. This is a new-build with genuinely useful kit: water maker and generator mean you're self-sufficient at anchor, Wi-Fi keeps you connected between anchorages, and air conditioning is a real luxury on a catamaran of this size. The autopilot and chart plotter handle the navigation heavy lifting, so you can relax.

Solid value proposition. At €2,500 deposit with a 5/5 operator rating (albeit from a small sample), Master Yachting clearly maintains their fleet well. For a brand-new 6-cabin cat, the economics work well when you're splitting costs across 8–12 people.

Charter base location unclear. We don't have the specific base listed, so before committing, confirm the flight logistics—some Mediterranean and Caribbean bases require a long transfer from the nearest major airport, which matters when you're coordinating a large group's arrival. Once you know the location, check whether Master Yachting offers airport transfers or crew services for groups this size.

The marina & destination

Bibinje-Sukošan 1

Can DEAR JOHN be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter DEAR JOHN 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 DEAR JOHN?

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.
