What you'll pay

Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.

Paid at the base (mandatory)

Tourist tax (9,31 EUR per person per week)

Regulated rate, charged by the marina (not the operator).

€1.33 per person per night mandatory

Above the Croatia average. Operators with higher transit logs often run newer fleets — usually a sign of investment, not a hidden charge.

Perfect for relaxed cruising. The Prestige 500 suits families or small groups wanting a comfortable, well-equipped motoryacht without the complexity of sailing—ideal if you want to focus on exploring rather than managing sails.

Solid modern features. You get genuine creature comforts here: air conditioning, heating, Wi-Fi, a generator, and a flybridge for entertaining or lounging underway, plus practical kit like a bow thruster and hydraulic gangway that make handling easier in tight anchorages.

Good value proposition. At €9,180 per week, this sits in a realistic mid-range for a 16m motoryacht with three cabins—the 2016 build keeps it modern without premium pricing, and the operator's 4.3-star rating suggests reliable service.

One honest note: With only three reviews on record, the operator's track record is still fairly thin, so it's worth checking recent client feedback and clarifying exactly what's included in your weekly rate before committing—especially regarding fuel, mooring, and Wi-Fi reliability.

Can Serendipity I be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Serendipity I 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 Serendipity I?

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.
