Perfect for small groups Marco Polo is an ideal choice for families or groups of up to seven seeking a manageable sailing experience without excessive crew demands. The three-cabin layout offers decent privacy, and the 12.2m length keeps things intimate while remaining easy to handle.

Smart cruising setup This Oceanis 40 comes well-equipped for comfortable coastal sailing, the bow thruster takes stress out of tight anchorages, autopilot handles longer passages, and creature comforts like air conditioning and heating matter when you're crossing time zones. The sprayhood and bimini keep sun and spray at bay, which guests genuinely appreciate on multi-day passages.

Honest value assessment At 17 years old, Marco Polo represents solid mid-market value if the maintenance logs are transparent and the engine hours reasonable. The €1,500 deposit is reasonable, but clarify whether Global Yachting's pricing includes fuel, provisioning, and skipper costs, these vary wildly between operators and can shift your budget significantly.

One real consideration The base location isn't specified in your data, so confirm the airport proximity and flight connections before booking; international charter clients need at least a 2, 3 hour transfer window. If the base is remote, factor in extra travel time and potential overnight stays before or after your charter week.

Why this is a great starting point

ACI Marina Skradin sits at the gateway to the Krka River estuary and the central Dalmatian islands, making it ideal for week-one exploration of sheltered waters and small anchorages within 15-20 nautical miles. From here you can reach the Kornati archipelago to the south (a protected national park with dramatic limestone islands) or cruise north toward Sibenik and the Trogir area, with consistent summer northwesterlies providing reliable sailing. The marina itself offers good facilities and lies far enough inland to provide shelter from stronger Adriatic swells, though note that summer thermals and wind-shadow effects can make mornings light.

Can Marco Polo be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Marco Polo 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 Marco Polo?

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.
