SailChecker Expert View

Who it suits RUSALKA is ideal for small groups or families wanting a comfortable bareboat sail without breaking the bank, three cabins sleep eight, so there's room to breathe. At 11.5 metres, she's manageable for experienced sailors but doesn't feel cramped like entry-level boats often do.

Standout features The teak cockpit and bimini top make those long anchorage days genuinely pleasant, while the sprayhood keeps you dry on passage. Modern kit including autopilot and chart plotter means you're not fighting the boat constantly, which matters when you're flying halfway across the world to relax.

Value for money At €1,235 per week with a rock-solid 5/5 operator rating, this represents honest pricing for a well-maintained 2016 boat. Ultra Sailing clearly looks after their fleet, and that shows in the feedback, no surprises when you arrive.

One realistic note The boat base location isn't listed here, so you'll want to confirm where RUSALKA sits and how far from your international airport that actually is before booking, even a Mediterranean base can mean a 3-4 hour transfer if it's remote.

The marina & destination

Based at ACI Marina Pomer, in Pomer, Croatia. RUSALKA is operated by Ultra Sailing.

Pomer 26 A

Why this is a great starting point

ACI Marina Pomer sits on the Istrian Peninsula and provides excellent access to the sheltered Adriatic islands and anchorages of central Dalmatia within a 30-50 nautical mile radius. Week 1 cruising typically heads south toward the Pakleni Islands and Hvar, or east into the Elaphiti group, with consistent northwesterly Maestral winds allowing for reliable passage planning. The marina itself offers full facilities and serves as a logical gateway for charters exploring the Croatian coast before committing to longer passages down to Dubrovnik or across to the Italian coast.

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