SailChecker Expert View

Great for groups This 12-metre Y40 is a solid four-cabin cruiser that sleeps eight comfortably, making it excellent for two couples or a small family wanting proper private cabins rather than squeezing into a smaller boat. At this size and spec, you're getting decent bang for your buck in terms of sleeping arrangements.

Well-equipped cruiser The kit list is genuinely useful: bow thruster and autopilot take the stress out of tight anchorages and longer passages, while solar panels plus heating suggest the owners understand year-round comfort. Chart plotter, spinnaker, and sprayhood mean you're ready for most conditions without scrambling for extras.

Fair value proposition At around €2,159 per week with a modest €1,300 deposit, this represents reasonable value for a four-cabin boat, you're not paying premium rates for a flashy newer vessel, but you're getting a properly maintained cruiser with the essentials covered. The 2008 vintage is honest rather than cutting-edge.

One realistic note The operator listing shows no location data, which is unusual, before booking, confirm where the base actually is (Adriatic region, presumably, given the operator name) and factor in your international travel time and airport transfers accordingly. Contact Adria Service Yachting directly to nail down exact logistics from your nearest major airport.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Izola, in Izola, Slovenia. Pia is operated by Adria Service Yachting.

Tomaziceva 4a

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Izola sits on Slovenia's only coastline, offering quick access to the Istrian Peninsula and northern Adriatic cruising grounds. Week 1 typically involves exploring the dramatic limestone cliffs and sheltered anchorages around Rovinj and Porec in Croatia, with steady northeasterly bura winds providing reliable sailing conditions. The shallow, protected waters suit boats comfortable with variable depths, and the short hop south means you spend minimal transit time and maximum time exploring the medieval hilltop towns and pine-fringed coves of the upper Adriatic.

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