Yacht charter in Split · Beneteau — First 21.7 P (2007)
Description of Niksa's sailboat
Sailboat Beneteau First 21.7 P 6m
YACHT Beneteau First 21.7 is the smallest sailboat (sailing yacht) available for charter in Croatia. This modern cruiser/racer offers high sailing performance for her size. The boat is very much dinghy-style to sail, although the keel does make her self-righting, and foam buoyancy renders her unsinkable. She is a perfect choice for sailing enthusiasts or shorthanded* sailors. With her 1 cabin and 4 berths (two single and one double bed), she is simple accommodation for up to four crew members. This makes this yacht a perfect choice for families or small groups of friends who wish to sail Central Adriatic area. Sailing is fantastic way to explore islands and coast on the Croatian side of Adriatic sea! Central Adriatic is the best place to learn sailing basics as it is known for its calm seas and winds. Set sails on our fleet of Beneteau Firsts 21.7 from Split, Croatia. Primarily we offer usual bareboat weekly charter. We also may offer skippered: - standard 7-day charter, - regatta sailing, - educational sailing, - day sailing trips. BOAT TAKEOVER Check-in is at MCI marina in city of Split, Croatia on Saturday at 5:00 pm and check-out on Saturday at 09:00 am. In case that days before or after your week are vacant, we might arrange another check-in/out dates. LICENSE Valid license is mandatory. No VHF license is required for this class of boat. In case that you are not sure if your license is valid to charter a boat in Croatia, send me the name of your license and I will check if it is on the list of valid licenses recognized by Croatian maritime authorities.

It is also mandatory to leave refundable security deposit of 600€ for possible damage to the ship.

This First 21.7 is surprisingly spacious and capable for the size. Ideal for a crew of two, but can accommodate up to four. The information we received from the Niksa (owner) before and during the week was of the highest quality and greatly helpful. This is in my opinion what differentiates Niksa from most other charters; you are not just renting a boat, but receiving constant (remote) support as needed. Ideal for a first time capitan!
This was a really fun week. Beautiful sailing and compact boat with everything we needed. Your advice and availability was definitely the biggest plus!
Hey Guys, my girlfriend and i had a really beautiful trip for one week in June/ July 2023. First, we were searching for a small boat about 22 ft. It was not that easy to find a boat like that, but finally we found a boat from Niksa. Niksa was a really kind and helpful person. The communication with him from the beginning of our trip till the end was perfect all the time. After booking the boat he was always helpful by questions we had and gave us the information we needed. Also while sailing Niksa stayed in contact with us. Every morning he send us the weather report for the next day and gave us tips where to go to if we asked him. So we feel really safe all the time. The Boat, a Beneteau First 21.7, was in really good conditions and was also safe in strong winds up to 6 bft that we had one day. What we like about the boat: - USB Port to charge phone - the gas cooker - an automatic shower - the digital instruments like depth, speed of boat and wind - the size of the boat and the double rudder makes it really easy to handle What could be improved: - a new matrace (the one on the boat was quite worn out) - the motor could have more horse power, it has only 5ps We also booked the Kajak and the auto-pilot, which both worked fine. Our experience at the sea and the area: We really enjoyed our week in Split and the other islands around. The weather was nice, always around 27 degrees, and the water was beautiful. Sometimes we were a little bit disappointed because you have to reservate buoys in buoy fields and also in marinas before. That makes it difficult to go somewhere spontaneously, so you also must have a "Plan B" in mind. If you feel safe to anchor in bays you have much more options to stay for the night. That was much more comfortable and you don't have to discuss with mariners. Also there is often no chance to reservate a buoy or a place in harbor because there were no phone numbers to find and often the people don't speak english. All in all it was a really nice week and we recommend to stay on the boat from Niksa. We wish Niksa all the best. Best regards. Konstantin
We had an amazing trip ! Niksa was very responsive and helpful. He was available at any time and gave us a lot of tips during all our trip ! We really enjoyed our holiday in Croatia !
We were very happy with the boat and everything. Niksa frequently sent weather updates and useful information for the region and he was always available for tips and questions. The boat sails great and feels very safe considering it’s size.
I highly recommend this rental. This boat is ideal to discover the many islands around Split in one week. I also particularly appreciated the availability and the advice of Niksa. It is very reassuring to know that he is reactive if needed. A big thank you and I look forward to renting Perla again :)
Very nice communication with niksa. 10/10 would do again
I recommend this small boat and Niksa. Perfect for the conditions at the Adriatic Sea in September
Beneteau First 21.7 p was very easy to maneuver, fast ant well floating on the waves. The lessons with Niksa were very helpful and his tips invaluable. I recommend this neat yacht and its owner, Croatia is a wonderful place to sail.
Well-maintained boats and excellent communication with the boat owner made our trip (2p) to a great experience. The boat was pretty easy to navigate/sail and also offered the benefit to find very easily spot in the marina (small boat).
Niksa is the best sailing instructor / skipper one could wish for. He clearly is in this for the love of sailing, and loves teaching newbies the ropes. There are no limits to his thoughtfulness, eye for detail, patience, flexibility, focus on safety and customer satisfaction. He always responded immediately to any questions we had, and gave us many insider tips on which bays/marinas to visit. We felt 100% comfortable with him, and had a wonderful first sailing experience with our family of 4 (kids of 7 and 10). Can't wait to take his boat out for another trip!
The boat was perfect. Niksa is friendly and professional. Top.
First experience of boat renting was amazing. The place with all islands around Split are just wonderfull. Niksa help us a lot with all advices to build our trip road. He tooks really care of us with weather forecast update and boat preparation. The boat was really well prepared with all equiments. It was also really clean. We really enjoy our trip thanks to Niksa and his boat.
Ideal for a couple! Perla is a very comfortable sailboat with everything you need to sail. Also, since it is small, it is much easier to find a mooring in high season. Niksa was always super attentive so that our experience was a 10! He is also passionate about sailing and a very good instructor! We will definitely be back ?
The owner is absolutely reliable and helpful.
Great boat.
Niksa represents the owner who sells his beloved boat with love and professionalism; tutorial to describe in every detail the uses of the engine, the electrical system on board, the use of the chemical toilet and the structural parts of the sails. Manuals with useful advice always on the boat and advice on navigation around the Croatian islands and even apps on weather, winds and anchorages. During the days of navigation it is always present for advice, weather updated to the last hour and probable thunderstorms concerning the area in which you are sailing. However, discretion remains its characteristic, never intervening on the choices of places and routes. So more than positive judgment! The Beneteau First 21.7: fast boat with high-performance sailing characteristics (upwind with a 40-footer engaged with at least 4/5 lengths, arrived at destination, Starigrad, ahead…); light and easy to handle, it requires particular attention to the reduction of reefs when the wind picks up. Interior suitable for two people with good adaptability to nautical camping. For those who want to spend several days at anchor, a canoe or a sup is needed to reach the coast and also avoid the problems of double anchors, moorings with buoys and rope on land and safety. There is absolutely no need for electricity at the columns in the port as the solar panel is more than sufficient for the daily and nightly needs of the boat; parsimony with regard to water (about 60 liters) but honestly never run out! Useful chemical toilet but with the need to empty it every 2 days and also the need to have a small container (bucket) for recovering sea water for cockpit washing and various cleaning. Essential equipment for the category; at this point there is only to try this magnificent experience! Thanks Niksa, thanks First! Alexander and Simone
Small and good boat
