About this yacht
Heating
SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for families The Greta is an excellent choice if you're sailing with kids or mixing experienced sailors with less confident crew, the four cabins and eight berths give everyone breathing room, and the bow thruster makes tight anchorages genuinely manageable. The 2024 build means you're getting the latest systems and nothing will let you down mid-charter.

Standout comfort features The teak cockpit, sprayhood, and Bimini canopy transform hot Mediterranean sailing into a genuinely pleasant experience, you won't be baking in the sun or caught out by sudden squalls. Wi-Fi and heating are practical touches that make extended cruising comfortable, especially if you're leaving Europe in shoulder seasons.

Solid value proposition At around €3,038 per week you're paying mid-range money for a new, well-equipped 40-footer in Croatia, which is fair given the specification and build year. The €2,000 deposit is reasonable and the package includes essentials like dinghy and full navigation kit.

Charter base logistics Croatia Sailing Charter operates from an established region with good international airport access (Split or Dubrovnik), though the listing doesn't specify the exact base location, confirm which port you'll depart from before booking, as transfer times from your arrival airport vary significantly across the Croatian coast.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Polesana, in Pula, Croatia. Greta is operated by Croatia Sailing Charter.

Sv. Katarina, Ul. Vallelunga 90

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Polesana in Pula sits at the northern gateway to the Adriatic, positioning you well for week-one cruising through the Istrian Peninsula and down towards the central Dalmatian islands. Light northeasterly winds typically prevail in summer, making the sail south to Rovinj, Vrsar, and the Pakleni Islands straightforward, with plenty of sheltered anchorages and working fishing villages to explore. The marina itself offers good facilities and a calm home base before you venture into deeper cruising grounds.

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