SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups MS Desire is a solid choice if you're chartering with a large party—18 cabins sleep up to 38 guests, making it ideal for corporate retreats, family reunions, or multi-family holidays where you want everyone together on one vessel.

Modern comfort built in The 2017 build means decent bones, and the spec covers essentials well: air conditioning, generator, Wi-Fi, and a dinghy with outboard for exploring. The ice maker and coffee maker are practical touches for a large group charter, though at 49 metres, don't expect five-star resort amenities.

Zero deposit advantage The €0 deposit is genuinely unusual and worth flagging—it removes friction from booking, though you'll want to clarify cancellation terms and damage liability directly with Adriatic Service Travel before committing.

One real limitation We don't have the base location listed here, which matters for your flight logistics. Before booking, confirm where MS Desire operates (Adriatic typically means Croatia/Montenegro waters) and factor in airport transfers and connection times from your home country—this isn't a quick hop for most international clients.

Frequently asked questions
Can MS Desire be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter MS Desire 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 MS Desire?
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.
