New sails and genoa 2023

Perfect starter cruiser This 2017 Sun Odyssey 389 hits the sweet spot for groups of 4, 6 sailors who want a well-equipped boat without breaking the bank. At €1138/week, you're getting a proven design with genuinely useful kit like autopilot, bow thruster, and air conditioning, essentials that make longer passages and hot-weather cruising genuinely comfortable.

Standout practical features The teak cockpit and bimini top are nice touches, but what really matters here is the solid spec: electric toilet, refrigerator, heating, and a chart plotter mean you can focus on enjoying the sailing rather than wrestling with outdated systems. Kroki Nautika's 4.8-star rating suggests their maintenance and handover process is reliable, important when you're flying in from the US or UK.

Strong value proposition For a three-cabin 2017 boat in this configuration, the pricing is competitive and transparent, with a modest €1500 deposit. You're not paying a premium for glossy marketing, just a straightforward, capable yacht suited to mixed-ability crews.

One realistic note The base location isn't specified in your data, so check where Kroki Nautika operates, if it's somewhere like Croatia or Greece, factor in airport transfers and any connecting flights from your home. The boat sleeps 8 theoretically, but three cabins means tighter quarters; ideal for friends, less ideal for families wanting privacy.

The marina & destination

Based at D-Marin Dalmacija Marina, in Sukošan, Croatia. DUST IN THE WIND is operated by Kroki Nautika.

Bibinje-Sukošan 1

Why this is a great starting point

D-Marin Dalmacija in Sukošan sits on Croatia's central Dalmatian coast, positioning you perfectly for the sheltered island-hopping grounds of the Zadar archipelago. Week one typically takes you south through the Kornati National Park's limestone islands or northwest toward Dugi Otok, both offering protected anchorages, moderate northwesterly winds, and short day hops of 10 to 20 nautical miles. The marina itself has full facilities and good provisioning, making it an efficient departure point before heading into deeper waters toward Split or the Adriatic's outer islands.

Can DUST IN THE WIND be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter DUST IN THE WIND 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 DUST IN THE WIND?

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.
