What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for day adventures. This 2022 Marlin 790 is a solid rigid inflatable boat, ideal if you're after high-speed exploration, snorkelling runs, or watersports rather than overnight cruising. With no cabins or sleeping berths, it's built for active daytime use, making it brilliant for groups staying in a villa or land-based resort nearby.
Smart practical setup. The bimini top keeps sun off your crew, and the outside steering position gives you proper control and visibility for coastal work. For a modern RIB this size, the equipment is straightforward and honest, nothing fancy, but it does the job.
Value proposition unclear. At €2,516 per week with only a €1,500 deposit, the weekly rate feels reasonable for a 2022 RIB, but without knowing the charter base location, fuel policy, or what's included, it's hard to judge real value. You'd want to confirm whether fuel, insurance, and skipper (if needed) are extras.
Check base logistics first. The operator details are minimal here, so before booking, verify where the base actually is, airport transfer time and staff English fluency matter when you're flying international. Also clarify whether you need a captain or can self-drive, as that significantly affects your total cost.

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