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)

Charter pack (catamarans 42 - 44 ft) includes: final cleaning, transit log, Wi-Fi no limit, dinghy with outboard engine & fuel (5 l), gas , bed linen (1 set per person) and towels (1 big, 1 small sized/person), 1 soap per toilet, 1 dish soap

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

€430 per rental mandatory

Tourist tax/pax

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

€1.33 per person per night 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

Ideal for groups. This 12-berth catamaran is perfect if you're chartering with family or friends, six separate cabins mean everyone gets privacy, which rarely causes friction on longer trips. The beam and stability of a cat also make it forgiving for less experienced sailors.

Well-equipped modern vessel. Solar panels, electric winches, lazy jack, and air conditioning across six cabins show this is a 2026 build designed for comfort and ease of handling. The teak cockpit and bimini are nice touches, and having Wi-Fi and a chart plotter in the cockpit keeps things practical for modern cruising.

Solid value proposition. At this size and specification, the €2,500 deposit is reasonable, and Orvas Yachting's perfect 5-star rating (albeit from just two reviews) suggests reliable service. For a newer cat with six cabins, you're getting reasonable bang for your buck.

One honest flag. The operator base location isn't listed here, which matters when you're flying internationally to collect the yacht, you'll want to confirm airport transfer time and whether staff speak English fluently before booking.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Kaštela, in Kaštel Gomilica, Croatia. Ladesta is operated by Orvas Yachting.

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 Ladesta be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Ladesta 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 Ladesta?

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.
