Contessa is available for day and multi-day charters.

Perfect for couples Contessa is ideally suited to two couples or a small family seeking comfort without the commitment of a larger vessel. The 2015 Princess F43 delivers genuine cruising capability in a manageable size that doesn't feel cramped.

Standout features The flybridge is the real draw here, it's a proper entertaining space that lets you enjoy the Adriatic without being stuck below deck. Air conditioning and a swimming platform round out the essentials for summer boating in this region.

Strong value proposition At a 14.5-metre motor yacht with two cabins fully equipped, you're getting decent bang for buck, especially with zero deposit required. For international charterers flying into Dubrovnik, this represents solid accessibility to the Croatian coast without overcommitting financially.

One honest note: The equipment list shows "Refrigerator" twice, which suggests the listing may not be entirely polished, always confirm what's genuinely onboard during your pre-charter briefing with Dubrovnik Boat Gabriel. Motor yachts also burn fuel, so factor running costs into your budget if you're planning to cruise extensively rather than base-hop.

The marina & destination

Based at Port Dubrovnik, in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Contessa is operated by Dubrovnik Boat Gabriel.

Why this is a great starting point

Port Dubrovnik sits at the southern tip of the Dalmatian coast, giving you immediate access to the Elaphiti Islands and the protected waters around Lopud, Sipan, and Kolocep within a short sail. Week one typically involves exploring the dramatic limestone coastline southward toward the Neretva Delta or northward toward Mljet National Park, with consistent northwesterly winds (Maestral) providing reliable sailing conditions. The old town's restored medieval harbour offers good provisioning and crew logistics before you depart into less-developed anchorages.

Can Contessa be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Contessa 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 Contessa?

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.
