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)

Transit log
Inlcudes: final cleaning, diver inspection, bed linen and towels, kitchen equipment.
Above the Croatia average. Operators with higher transit logs often run newer fleets — usually a sign of investment, not a hidden charge.
€420 per rental mandatory
Refundable security deposit
Held at check-in (card pre-auth or bank transfer), refunded after charter if the yacht is returned without damage. Deposit-waiver insurance is one of the optional extras below — reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.
€3,000 refundable mandatory

SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for comfort seekers This 2011 Princess V53 is perfect if you want a motorised escape with serious creature comforts—air conditioning, heating, Wi-Fi, and a well-equipped galley mean you're genuinely relaxing, not roughing it. The three cabins sleep eight, making it solid value for small groups or families wanting their own space.

Standout features onboard Solar panels, generator, and an inverter give you excellent power independence for longer cruises, while the bow thruster and autopilot make single-handed motoring genuinely manageable. The swimming platform and dinghy are proper bonuses for exploring quieter anchorages and shallow bays.

Honest value assessment At 16.4 metres with a 2011 build, you're getting a proven, well-equipped motoryacht at a reasonable charter rate—the €3000 deposit is reassuringly modest. For families or groups who value reliability and onboard amenities over sailing thrills, this delivers solid bang for your money.

One practical note The base location isn't listed in your data, so I'd confirm airport transfer time and fuel costs upfront; motoryachts this size drink diesel, and charter positioning fees can add up if your base is remote. Double-check whether provisioning and Wi-Fi are included or extras before booking.

The marina & destination

Based at Makarska harbor, in Makarska, Croatia. Chablis is operated by Yacht Charter Makarska.

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