Character & Heritage Palagruža is a beautifully preserved 1926 motor sailer with genuine period charm—she's a proper classic rather than a reproduction. If you love authentic wooden boats with history and don't mind trading modern convenience for character, this vessel rewards you with an experience you simply can't replicate on a newer charter boat.

Who Should Book This suits couples, small families, or friends seeking a slow-travel, nostalgic voyage rather than high-speed exploration. You'll appreciate her if you're drawn to maritime heritage, comfortable with compact spaces, and willing to embrace a gentler pace of cruising.

Honest Trade-offs The 12-metre length and 2-cabin layout mean genuinely cosy quarters—fine for two couples or a family, but tight if anyone values personal space. While she has air-con, Wi-Fi, and modern essentials, a 1926 hull is still a 1926 hull: expect quirks, slower speeds, and maintenance surprises that come with vintage vessels.

Value Assessment At €1,000 deposit, the pricing appears competitive for a classic boat with real character and an experienced operator (Leut Vagabundo Charter). Just confirm base location and total weekly cost before booking—the operator's location will determine your flight logistics from the UK or Europe.

The marina & destination

Cvjetna ulica 1

Can Palagruža be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Palagruža 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 Palagruža?

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.
