SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for families The Sun Odyssey 440 suits groups of 4, 8 people wanting a comfortable, modern sailing experience without sacrificing ease of handling. The three cabins and eight berths give flexibility, while the newer build year (2025) means well-maintained systems and contemporary comfort across the board.

Smart creature comforts What stands out here is the thoughtful blend of sailing essentials and onboard living: air conditioning, heating, electric toilet, and a proper galley fridge make extended cruising relaxed rather than roughing-it. The teak cockpit, bimini, and sprayhood transform time on deck into genuine luxury, and the bow thruster plus autopilot keep effort low even for less experienced crews.

Excellent value proposition At €1,983 per week with a modest €2,000 deposit, this yacht delivers a lot for a modern 12.6m boat. The 4.8/5 rating from Kroki Nautika suggests reliable service and well-maintained equipment, important when you're flying in from abroad and have limited time to sort problems.

One honest note We don't have the charter base location listed, so check flight connections and transfer times to your departure point; that detail can make or break a long-haul trip's convenience factor.

The marina & destination

Based at D-Marin Dalmacija Marina, in Sukošan, Croatia. ŠINKI 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.

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