## General

Oriy is a 49.98-metre motor [yacht](/what-is-a-yacht/) built in 2026 by Croatian shipyard Radež d.d. and conceived as a purpose-built charter vessel. The project was developed under the direction of Ante Ercegović, a seventh-generation Croatian captain and yacht entrepreneur whose previous custom builds include Navilux and Omnia (formerly Aiaxaia). Naval architecture was designed by Ivana Peko of Naval Design Solutions in collaboration with Ercegović, while exterior styling was created by Nauta d.o.o. The yacht measures 8.95 metres in beam and draws 2.45 metres, with a gross tonnage of 499 GT. Construction used a steel Grade A hull and aluminium superstructure, with traditional iroko wood laid across the decks. Twin Caterpillar diesel engines deliver a cruising speed of 12 knots and a top speed of 16 knots, with a maximum range of 4,500 nautical miles at 10 knots. The central charter agency partnership is held jointly by Otium Yachts and CharterWorld.

### Interior & exterior spaces

The main salon features a round sofa arrangement alongside a formal dining area, with expansive windows drawing in natural light and sea views. Above, a skylounge provides a bar, lounge seating and entertainment systems. On the aft main deck, a beach club and swimming platform give direct access to the water. The upper deck carries alfresco dining for up to 12 guests alongside lounge seating, and the sundeck is fitted with a Jacuzzi, sunbathing areas and a barbecue. Additional amenities include a fully equipped gym and a private sauna. Water toys carried on board include Seabobs, electric foils, paddleboards and kayaks. The interior aesthetic draws on warm neutrals, parquet floors and custom artworks by Mirna Sisul.

## Accommodation & Crew

Oriy accommodates up to 12 guests across six en-suite cabins. The full-beam master suite, approximately 46 square metres, includes a private side balcony and a dedicated office. A VIP cabin of approximately 40 square metres features a walk-in wardrobe, and four further guest cabins complete the layout. All cabins are air-conditioned. A professional crew of 12 is included with every charter; guests do not operate the vessel themselves. Charter rates are from {price_from}, plus [APA](/advanced-provisioning-allowance-apa/) and local tax, shown in full.

## Location

Oriy is based at Split Harbour, Croatia, and charters throughout the Adriatic and wider Mediterranean. Typical itineraries cover the Croatian coast and islands, Montenegro and Greece. Split sits at the heart of the Dalmatian coast, giving straightforward access northward to the islands of the Kornati archipelago and Šibenik, southward toward Hvar, Korčula and Dubrovnik, and across the Adriatic to Montenegro and the Ionian islands when a longer passage is required.

Licences
None needed: this is a fully crewed charter. The professional crew hold all required licences, so no sailing qualifications or experience are required from your party.
Security deposit
A refundable security deposit is taken at the base by card swipe or cash. The exact amount is confirmed at quote time; refunded after handover provided the boat and inventory are returned undamaged.
Cancellation
Cancellation terms are operator-specific and disclosed in the charter contract before payment. As a rule, most Mediterranean operators retain the full charter fee within 30 days of departure; we recommend charter cancellation insurance via a UK broker (typically 4-5% of the charter fee).

A starting point, not a script: pick one as a template and we'll tailor the dates, stops, and pace to your crew.

Northern Dalmatia & the Kornati Loop7 days · ~110 nm · 5 stops

Kornati National Park is empty coves, no shore power, true wilderness sailing. The route most people quietly call their best charter ever.

1Sukošan / Zadar
Charter base. Stock up on provisions before you leave, the islands are sparse on supermarkets.
2Žut
Sheltered bay with one restaurant pier. Easy first-night anchorage; bring cash for the moorings.
3Telašćica
Long fjord-like bay inside the national park. Swim to the cliff-top salt lake at sunset.
4Sali (Dugi Otok)
Sleepy fishing village with a working harbour. Konoba Roko for lamb peka, order ahead.
5Sukošan return
Half-day sail back; the wind usually fills from NW by lunchtime.
Central Dalmatia · the Hvar Circuit7 days · ~140 nm · 5 stops

Mixes the lively (Hvar town, Bol beach) with the still untouched (Vis, away from the cruise routes).

1Split
Charter base. Diocletian's Palace is worth a half-day before you leave.
2Brač
Bol's Golden Horn beach is the classic stop. Anchor in Lučice for quiet.
3Hvar
Hvar town is the party. Stari Grad on the north coast is the antidote.
4Vis
The far island, fewer charter boats, blue cave excursions, the freshest seafood on the route.
5Šolta
Quiet, close to Split. Maslinica is the prettiest anchorage on the island.
Istria & Kvarner7 days · ~120 nm · 4 stops

Italian-influenced architecture, the warmest water in Croatia by mid-July, fewer charter boats than further south.

1Pula
Roman amphitheatre at the harbour entrance. Charter base.
2Rovinj
Picture-perfect Venetian old town on a peninsula. Marina is small, book.
3Cres
Sparsely populated; griffon vultures overhead. Anchor in Lubenice cove for the cliff views.
4Krk
The largest Adriatic island. Punat marina is full-service if you need provisions or laundry.
Frequently asked questions 14 answers Charter basics · deposits · what's included
Does Oriy come with a crew?
Oriy is chartered fully crewed. Your captain and crew handle the sailing, provisioning, and itinerary, so no sailing licence or experience is required from you or your guests.
What experience do we need to charter Oriy?
None. This is a fully crewed charter: the professional crew run the yacht, so no licence, certificate, or prior sailing experience is needed. Tell us what you want from the week and the crew plan around it.
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 and proof of payment. The captain sends a preference sheet ahead of time covering dietary requirements, preferences, and any special requests, so the crew can plan the week around you.
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.
What is included on a fully crewed charter?
A crewed charter includes the yacht and its professional crew (typically a captain plus chef and/or hostess on larger yachts). The crew handle navigation, cooking, and the daily running of the boat; you agree the itinerary together. Fuel, food, drinks, and port fees are usually settled via an Advance Provisioning Allowance (commonly around 30 percent of the charter fee), confirmed on your quote.
Can we sail to a neighbouring country during the charter?
Sometimes, with the operator's written consent and the right paperwork. Common cross-borders: Croatia → Montenegro, Greece → Turkey, BVI → USVI. Most operators charge a one-off cruising-permit fee (typically €100–€300) and need 4–8 weeks' notice. Tell us at quote time and we'll arrange it: spontaneous border-crossing during the trip usually isn't allowed.
Do I need travel insurance on top of the charter insurance?
Yes. The yacht is insured by the operator for damage and third-party liability, but that doesn't cover you. Charter cancellation insurance (typically 4–5% of the charter fee) covers you if you have to cancel last-minute; standard travel insurance covers medical, flight, and personal-effects loss. We can recommend a UK broker that bundles both.
What happens if there's bad weather on the day?
For day-to-day weather you'll plan the week to avoid the worst: the Adriatic and Aegean have very predictable wind patterns. If a serious storm makes the start-day handover impossible, the operator delays check-in until conditions improve and refunds any lost days. The yacht itself is insured against weather damage, so you're not exposed.
Can I hold this yacht while I decide?
Yes: an option holds the yacht in your name for typically 48–72 hours at no cost. Useful if you're waiting on the rest of the crew to confirm, comparing it against another yacht, or sorting flights. Ask us when you enquire and we'll arrange the option with the operator.
