Ideal for groups The Manci is a fantastic choice for 6, 10 people wanting to explore together without feeling cramped. Four cabins across a 14.4m Sun Odyssey give everyone reasonable privacy, and the 2016 build means you're getting a well-maintained, modern boat with solid bones.

Well-equipped and comfortable This yacht doesn't skimp on creature comforts, electric winches make sailing easier, air conditioning keeps you cool in Med heat, and the teak cockpit with bimini and sprayhood creates a genuinely pleasant outdoor living space. The swimming platform is a real bonus for those warm-water destinations, and the bow thruster makes tight anchorages far less stressful.

Strong operator backing Candor Charter has a perfect 5/5 rating on limited reviews, which is encouraging, and the €2,000 deposit is reasonable. You're chartering from an operator with a solid reputation, which matters when you're flying intercontinental to meet your boat.

Honest note on size At 14.4m, this is a proper mid-sized cruiser, not a compact weekender, it handles beautifully but requires confident helmsmanship in stronger winds. If your group includes less experienced sailors, budget for a professional skipper, which will add to your overall cost but makes the charter far more enjoyable.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Kaštela, in Kaštel Gomilica, Croatia. Manci is operated by Candor Charter.

Franje Tuđmana 213

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Kaštela sits within the Kaštela Bay system near Split, giving you immediate access to the central Dalmatian islands and the Adriatic's most protected cruising grounds. Week one typically involves exploring nearby Brač, Hvar, and Vis, with steady northwesterly winds ideal for sailing south toward the Pakleni Islands and Vis's excellent anchorages. The marina's proximity to Split airport and good shelter make it a practical base for longer-range cruising toward Korčula or Lastovo if conditions allow.

Can Manci be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Manci 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 Manci?

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.
