About this yacht
The boat has no sleeping capacity
SailChecker Expert View
Stylish day cruiser The VanDutch 32 "Hermes" is a sleek modern motor boat that works best for couples or small groups wanting a luxurious coastal day trip rather than an overnight voyage. With just one cabin and zero berths listed, this appears to be more of a sophisticated day boat or very short-stay vessel than a traditional charter yacht.
Smart onboard touches You're getting quality fixtures here, the teak deck, electric toilet, and inverter suggest thoughtful design, while snorkeling gear and a TV add versatility for relaxing afternoons. At under 10 metres, it's nimble enough to explore shallower anchorages that larger yachts can't reach.
Zero deposit appeal The €0 deposit is genuinely unusual and attractive, removing upfront financial friction if you're chartering from overseas. That said, clarify with Nautical Booking exactly what overnight sleeping arrangements the single cabin actually provides, since the berth count seems unclear.
One honest note Without knowing the base location, fuel costs, or whether a skipper is mandatory, it's hard to judge true value, though the styling and amenities suggest this won't be budget pricing. Confirm fuel policy and crew requirements before booking, especially if you're flying in from the US or Europe expecting to self-drive the boat.

The marina & destination
Based at Port Dubrovnik, in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Hermes is operated by Nautical Booking.
Obala Ivana Pavla II 1
Port Dubrovnik sits at the southern tip of the Dalmatian coast, giving you immediate access to the Elaphiti Islands and the protected waters around Lopud, Sipan, and Kolocep within a short sail. Week one typically involves exploring the dramatic limestone coastline southward toward the Neretva Delta or northward toward Mljet National Park, with consistent northwesterly winds (Maestral) providing reliable sailing conditions. The old town's restored medieval harbour offers good provisioning and crew logistics before you depart into less-developed anchorages.
