SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for families This 2018 Sun Odyssey 479 is a solid choice for groups of up to 10, making it excellent value for family holidays or friends sharing costs. The four-cabin layout sleeps comfortably, and the modern equipment list suggests a well-maintained vessel.

Comfort-focused cruiser You're getting genuine cruising comfort here: air conditioning, electric winches (a real back-saver on a 14.4m boat), autopilot, and a sprayhood all standard. The lazy bag and bimini mean less hassle with sail handling and sun protection, practical touches for a relaxed week.

Strong value proposition At €2,331 per week from Seatravel Croatia with only a €2,500 deposit, this is competitive pricing for a modern four-cabin yacht in the Mediterranean. Croatian bases offer excellent value compared to equivalent boats in Greece or France.

One practical note Croatia's charter bases aren't as close to major international hubs as some rivals, you're likely looking at a connection through Vienna, Budapest, or Munich, plus a drive to Dalmatia. If you're flying in from the US or UK, factor in an extra travel day and budget for ground transfers, but the savings usually justify it.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Polesana, in Pula, Croatia. Moonlight is operated by Seatravel Croatia.

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 Moonlight be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Moonlight 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 Moonlight?
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.
