I don't have enough information to give you a proper assessment of this yacht. The listing is missing some critical details, there's no charter base location listed, no weekly rate, and no specifics on the boat's condition or recent service history.

What I can see: The Salona 41 is a solid, well-regarded Croatian cruiser built for comfortable sailing and family use. Three cabins sleeping eight works well for groups or families wanting their own space, and the teak cockpit, heating, and sprayhood suggest decent comfort for year-round sailing in European waters.

Before booking: You'll need to know where this yacht is based, that makes a huge difference to your logistics if you're flying in from the US or UK. Also ask Octopus Sailing for the weekly rate, the exact condition of systems (especially the heating), and when it was last serviced. A €2,500 deposit is standard, but the total cost matters more than the deposit alone.

One honest note: At 11 years old, this boat isn't new, so confirm what's been refurbished recently and get clarity on what's included in the charter price versus what costs extra.

Contact Octopus Sailing directly with the base location question and a full price breakdown, that'll help you decide if it's good value.

The marina & destination

Based at Adaköy Marina, in Marmaris, Turkey. WHITE BUTTERFLY is operated by Octopus sailing.

Why this is a great starting point

Adaköy Marina in Marmaris sits at the gateway to the Turkish Riviera's most accessible cruising grounds; week one typically takes you east along the coast to Ekincik and Dalyan, or west toward Icmeler and the Greek islands of Rhodes and Symi depending on wind direction. The marina benefits from reliable northwest winds in summer months, making it well-positioned for both novice sailors exploring sheltered bays and more experienced crews heading into open water. From here you can reach anchorages with reasonable overnight distances of 15 to 30 nautical miles, giving you flexibility to explore limestone coves, visit working fishing villages, and sample local provisions without excessive daily sailing.

Can WHITE BUTTERFLY be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter WHITE BUTTERFLY 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 WHITE BUTTERFLY?

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.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
