What you'll pay

No pets allowed
Included mandatory

Tourist tax
Regulated rate, charged by the marina (not the operator).
€1.33 per person per night mandatory

About this yacht

SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups. The Nautitech 40 Open sleeps 10 across six cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to split costs on a spacious catamaran. The 2019 build means you're getting a modern, well-maintained vessel rather than something ageing.

Smart comfort features. Solar panels and electric winches take the hard work out of sailing, while Wi-Fi keeps you connected between anchorages. The swimming platform, outside steering position, and generous deck space are exactly what you want on a catamaran charter where half the appeal is outdoor living.

Solid Adriatic value. At €2650 deposit through Croatia Sailing Charter, this represents fair pricing for a newer 40-footer in the Mediterranean's most popular sailing region. Charter rates in Croatia tend to be competitive, and the catamaran hull means easier handling for mixed-ability groups.

One gentle note: We don't have base location details listed here, so do confirm the exact port with the operator, some Croatian bases involve longer airport transfers than others, which matters when you're flying in from the US or UK. Once you're anchored though, this boat will deliver excellent value.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Polesana, in Pula, Croatia. ORION is operated by Croatia Sailing Charter.

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.

Frequently asked questions
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.
