SailChecker Expert View

Great all-rounder The Sun Odyssey 479 is a proven, comfortable cruiser that suits mixed-ability groups and families wanting a relaxed week without constant sail adjustments. Elena's 2017 build means you're getting a well-maintained modern yacht without paying brand-new prices.

Smart features included The bow thruster and autopilot are genuine time-savers in tight anchorages and during longer passages, while the bimini keeps sun exposure manageable during Mediterranean or Caribbean charters. Four cabins sleeping ten means you can comfortably accommodate two couples or a small family group.

Fair value proposition At this size and age, the pricing sits in the honest middle ground, not a bargain, but reasonable for a capable boat with essential modern kit already installed. The €2200 deposit is standard.

One heads-up The 14.4-metre length means she's not intimate, so if you're after a cosy two-cabin escape, she'll feel over-equipped, you're paying for capacity you may not need. Check the base location carefully, as none is listed here; factor in airport transfers from your international arrival before booking.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Baotić, in Seget Donji, Croatia. Elena is operated by Ace Yachting.

Don Petra Spike 2a

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Baotić sits in Seget Donji on the central Dalmatian coast, offering straightforward access to the Adriatic's most sheltered cruising grounds. From here you can reach the Pakleni Islands, Hvar Town, and the anchorages around Vis within a day's sail, with the prevailing northwesterly Maestral providing reliable wind for week one's typical itinerary down the coast. The marina's position between Split and Dubrovnik makes it a practical alternative to the busier hubs, with calm waters and established charter routes heading both north toward Brač and south toward the Elaphiti Islands.

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