What KateBot thinks
KateBot generated · ~200 words
11 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Perfect starter boat The Oceanis 35 "Gaston" is an excellent choice if you're new to sailing or want a manageable, comfortable vessel without complexity. At 10 metres with three cabins sleeping eight, it strikes that sweet spot between intimate sailing and enough space for small families or friends.
Well-equipped for comfort You get genuine cruising extras here, heating for cooler months, autopilot to ease steering on longer passages, and a proper sprayhood plus bimini for weather protection. The teak cockpit and cockpit speakers add real character, while the lazy bag keeps sail handling straightforward rather than athletic.
Strong operator backing Ultra Sailing has a perfect 5-star rating across their reviews, which matters when you're chartering internationally and need reliable support, clear handover procedures, and actual help if something goes wrong. That kind of reputation builds trust, especially if you're flying from North America or mainland Europe to reach the base.
Watch the deposit At €1,300, the security deposit is reasonable, but do clarify exactly what's covered and what damage might trigger claims, standard practice, but worth confirming before you commit, particularly if you're new to sailing and slightly nervous about knocks and scrapes.

Where Charters Went
Yacht charter overnight stops in Split, Kaštela, Trogir and the Makarska Riviera
The heat map shows recorded overnight stops from round trips made by charter yachts tracked by AIS from Split, Kaštela, Trogir and the Makarska Riviera during the 2026 season so far. You can use it to see where those yachts spent their nights and compare that with your own yacht charter plans. It is not a navigation guide.
