What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
12 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Compact day-boat This is a small, open recreational speedboat, not a sleeping vessel. At 5.8 metres with no cabins or berths, it's designed for daytime cruising, water sports, or short local runs rather than overnight charters. It suits groups wanting a fast, nimble boat for exploring coastal areas and beaches within a few hours of base.
Practical essentials The Zar 57 WD comes well-equipped for its size: a Bimini top for sun protection, chart plotter for navigation, and radio-CD for entertainment. These features make it genuinely usable for a full day out on the water without feeling stripped-back, though storage and onboard comfort are predictably limited.
Fair value proposition At roughly €1,472 per week, this is affordable for what amounts to a powerboat rental. The modest €1,200 deposit is reassuring, and you're paying for a practical vessel rather than luxury, reasonable if your holiday plans centre on day trips and water activities rather than liveaboard cruising.
Location matters here The charter base isn't specified in the listing, which is a gap worth clarifying with Filipi Marine before booking. Once you know the location, check transfer times from your arrival airport, for a day-boat, you'll want convenient access without spending half a day driving inland. Confirm fuel costs and whether crew or skipper hire is available if you're unfamiliar with local waters.

Northern Dalmatia & the Kornati Loop
Kornati National Park is empty coves, no shore power, true wilderness sailing. The route most people quietly call their best charter ever.
