SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups. The Sun Odyssey 490 sleeps 12 across 5 cabins, making it ideal for families or friends chartering together, you'll get genuine value spreading the cost across that many people. At €3600 per week, that's roughly €300 per person for accommodation alone, which is genuinely competitive for a newer (2019) sailing yacht.

Well-equipped modern boat. Solar panels, bow thruster, autopilot, and Wi-Fi tick all the boxes for comfortable cruising without constant manual input. The teak cockpit, bimini, and swimming platform suggest Navigo has invested in guest comfort, you're not roughing it here.

Strong operator credentials. Navigo's perfect 5-star rating across their reviews is encouraging, and a €2000 deposit is reasonable. The inclusion of heating and a holding tank means year-round cruising potential, which matters if you're flying long-haul and need flexibility around your travel dates.

One practical note: We don't have the charter base location listed in your data, which matters hugely for international travellers, airport proximity and transfer logistics are make-or-break factors. I'd confirm that detail directly with Navigo before booking, especially if you're coordinating connections from the US or central Europe.

The marina & destination

Based at D-Marin Dalmacija Marina, in Sukošan, Croatia. Swannabe is operated by Navigo Yacht Charter.

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