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)

Starter pack (Included: Final cleaning, gas, towels and bed linen)

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

€400 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.

€3,500 refundable mandatory

Solid family choice. This 2020 Lagoon 42 is ideal for groups of up to 8 or families wanting space and comfort without complexity, catamarans are inherently stable and easy to handle, which matters if you've got mixed sailing experience aboard.

Smart specs onboard. The solar panels and water maker are genuinely useful for longer charters, and air conditioning plus an electric toilet setup keep things civilised on warm Adriatic days. The autopilot and chart plotter handle navigation legwork, leaving you to actually enjoy the sailing.

Croatia works well. Seatravel Croatia operates from a well-established base with solid English-speaking support and straightforward logistics from major European hubs, think Munich, Vienna, or London connections with a short hop to the Dalmatian coast.

One realistic note: A €3,500 deposit is reasonable, but do confirm the all-in weekly rate before committing, as catamaran charters in Croatia's peak season can swing significantly depending on whether you're chartering in shoulder months or July, August when prices spike.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Polesana, in Pula, Croatia. Orion is operated by Seatravel Croatia.

Sv. Katarina, Ul. Vallelunga 90

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Polesana in Pula sits at the northern gateway to the Adriatic, positioning you well for week-one cruising through the Istrian Peninsula and down towards the central Dalmatian islands. Light northeasterly winds typically prevail in summer, making the sail south to Rovinj, Vrsar, and the Pakleni Islands straightforward, with plenty of sheltered anchorages and working fishing villages to explore. The marina itself offers good facilities and a calm home base before you venture into deeper cruising grounds.

Can Orion be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Orion 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 Orion?

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.
