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

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

€550 per rental mandatory

Tourist tax (1,33 EUR person/day)

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

€1.33 per person per night mandatory

Wi-Fi included

Included at no extra cost. A nice touch — many operators charge €30–€50 per week for this.

2 x SUP

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.

Perfect for groups This 2018 Saona 47 catamaran sleeps up to 12 across 6 cabins, making it ideal for larger families or friends chartering together. The beam and layout of a cat means everyone gets reasonable privacy and comfort without feeling cramped.

Well-equipped vessel HERMES comes with genuinely useful extras—electric winches take the hard work out of sailing, radar and chart plotter handle navigation, and the teak deck is a lovely touch for barefoot comfort. The onboard generator and inverter mean reliable power for fridges and entertainment, which matters on longer charters.

Solid value proposition A 2018 boat in this size range with 6 cabins and this spec represents reasonable value for groups splitting costs, especially if you're flying in from the US or Europe. The €3,000 deposit is refreshingly low, which helps with upfront commitment.

One heads-up We don't have the base location or charter pricing here, which are crucial for judging real value and your travel logistics. Before booking, confirm the base airport connections and total weekly rate so you can factor in flights and transfers from your home region.

Can HERMES be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter HERMES 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 HERMES?

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.
