Boat rental in Split · Bavaria — 46 Cruiser (2008)
Description of Neven's sailboat
Sailboat Bavaria 46 Cruiser 14.4m
ABOUT S/Y “Marinas“ “Marinas” is solid and spacious Bavaria 46 Cruiser built in 2008. She has 4 cabins and 2 heads but will only be able to offer 3 double bed cabins where up to 6 guests can be comfortably accommodated. Forth, bunk bed cabin, is used by skipper. Please note that Marinas can only be chartered with skipper but thanks to that it can also be chartered for a short stay like a day or even half a day cruise. Since Marinas joined our fleet few years ago, plenty of work has been done; new fridges were installed, solar panels added, old sails replaced, bedclothes, kitchen equipment, dingy, outboard, lots of equipment was refurbished. Considering her age and years spent in charter she now looks much better than most of her colleagues of the same age but her experience and miles left behind are, normally, visible. What you can expect is a cozy, comfortable and very safe middle age lady with well-maintained interior and fully equipped for extended cruising. PAYMENT and EXPENCESS All the expenses that you can expect before and during your stay are divided into three steps; 1. First part is your online reservation/booking. This part is related with accommodation alone and it includes boat charter, Croatian VAT and C&B agency commission. 2. Second part includes obligatory extras* and optional extras should you have chosen any. Second payment is to be sorted in cash with skipper upon your arrival onboard. 3. Third part are expenses that depend on your preferences; food and beverage, fuel (depending on choice of your itinerary), port fees (should you choose to stay overnight in the local villages, port fees are to be sorted by you). These are to be sorted throughout your stay. *obligatory extras – 1.

It includes interior and exterior cleaning, cooking gas, outboard engine and fuel for dingy, bed linen, beach towels, bathroom towels, basic kitchen and bathroom necessities, wi-fi, paddle board, snorkling gear etc. Transit log is the same wether you are staying two days or full week. However, for daily rentals transit log is 150 eur. 3. Sojourn tax – Croatian tourist/visitor tax is 1,60 € per person per day. Children under 12 years are not obliged for tax.

Just for the reference our average daily fuel expense varies at 30-50€ - crew gratitude - skipper job is one of the best jobs in the world, but not an easy one.

ITINERARY Itinerary will be created in accordance to the weather, length of stay and your preferences. If you have destinations that you want to visit or activities you want to do, we will do our best to adjust it accordingly. It is good to have the plan and learn about the area before your arrival, it is always good to ask us for recommendations and suggestions, however do have in mind that the final route will be confirmed by the skipper, after checking the weather forecast on the day of your arrival. There are many logistical details to be taken into account so our skipper will suggest safest and the most comfortable route, planning few days ahead. However, if you want to do extra activities outside of the boat, do let us know ahead of your arrival as restaurants, various tours, berth in port etc … all needs to be reserved in advance. WHAT TO EXPECT ONE DAY charter - we are staying within the triangle of Split, Brač and Šolta. You can expect to visit one of the villages on Brač or Šolta, swim stop in the middle of a day and two hour navigation both ways. TWO DAY charter - overnight onboard is the minimum to experience the real thing. If you have never tried it, stay on the anchor and enjoy the comfort of your floating home in the middle of beautiful nature. Two day trip can include several swim stops on various places and visit of two or three different villages, if your daily navigation is not too long. Hvar town is also comfortably reachable in two days. THREE DAY charter – it is a big difference between one/two day trip and everything above. Several hours of navigation are needed to clear the area of Split and find yourself in attractive destination. Good part of your first and last day will be navigation to your final destination but in this case you have one full day to use just as you want. Three- and four-days trips are our recommendation as the best discovery sailing option. Please note that the average daily price is lower the more days you choose to book.

Very good experience despite a few mishaps! Looking forward to going back with Neven and Kristijan
We had a fantastic trip. A perfect itinary with a nice mix of beautiful bays and quaint harbour towns. Kiki is an excellent skipper and we strongly recommend the option of a hostess, especially when it is Jelena. She prepared amazing local, healthy dishes and she explained us a lot about local culture and history. We had amazing trip and can highly recommend!
OVERALL A GOOD EXPERIENCE, MAYBE KRISTIAN NEEDS TO IMPROVE IN HELPING WITH COOKING, CLEANING THE TABLE AND CLEANING THE DISHES, WE DID EVERYTHING OURSELVES. IN PREVIOUS EXPERIENCES WE DID PRACTICALLY NOTHING.
We spent one week on Neve’s boat visiting the Croatian islands, with excellent captain Kiki. The boat itself is very well maintained. And captain Kiki has over 10 years experience, he knows all the best bays and restaurants on all the Croatia islands. We had an amazing time.
Yacht was more comfortable than expected with 2 adults, 2 teenagers and 2 children on board. Our skipper Kristian was knowledgeable, friendly and there was absolutely no stress with him at the helm. Also very flexible with the schedule. Highly recommended.
We spent 3 idyllic days with Kritijan on Neven's boat. This was our first sailing trip and it won't be the last. Kristijan showed us magnificent places in Croatia and thanks to him we left this trip with memories in our heads. Considerate, professional and attentive, he is a perfect skipper. Thanks again for everything. Good luck! Anaïs & Lucas
We had a great time on the boat. The Skipper Kristian was amazing. He did some tours and took us around the wonder place and restaurants and that night swim was phenomenal!
We had a great time. Neven and Kristian made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect boat trip. Thanks again!
Fast and correct communication, wonderful sailing boat. Spacious, comfortable and easy sailing. Kiki our captain was extremely polite and socially skilled. His instructions on board were very friendly and clear. Good advice and perfect day trip that met our wishes. I would recommend this boat and crew to any group. The snack on board was also very tasty. Clean towels. Fully met expectations.
Neven was an amazing host and skipper. He is a talented sailor and he made sure my family had a wonderful trip. He was very thoughtful and worked with us to plan a really fun route. We booked his boat for a day trip, and ended up going to two cute villages as well as a lagoon to swim and have lunch. Neven made us an awesome lunch with fresh bread, cheese, prosciutto, and some of the best tomatoes I've had in a long time. I was with my husband and parents, and Neven made sure that everyone was comfortable and had a great time. He had a long conversation with my dad, brought my mom and me blankets when he saw we were chilly, and involved everyone in the sail in one way or another. I would love to sail with Neven again.
Our family, along with our 6-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son, recently embarked on a 3-day adventure aboard Neven's boat. Here's our honest account of the experience. We arrived at the marina filled with excitement and anticipation. Neven warmly welcomed us aboard his boat, and we immediately felt at home. Every cabin was neatly organized, and all the necessary amenities were well provided. The kids were thrilled to explore every nook and cranny, from the cozy cabins to the spacious deck. Neven had already prepared several itineraries for us, and we chose one that was perfect for the kids from his recommendations. With activities tailored to weather conditions and seasons, there was no need to worry about limitations. Neven provided detailed instructions on navigating the boat during our journey and entertained us with fascinating stories about the historical significance of the islands we visited. He also engaged wonderfully with our children, keeping them entertained throughout. We spent the first night docked at a harbor on an island and anchored in the sea for the second night. The nights on the boat were truly magical. Despite initial concerns about sleeping on a rocking boat, we found the gentle sway to be surprisingly soothing, aiding our rest. As the final day approached, the sadness of parting was palpable, given the abundance of fond memories made in such a short time. Neven treated our family with such warmth and care, it felt like saying goodbye to a dear family member. We're already planning to return next year and spend more time with Neven. If you're considering booking a boat excursion, we highly recommend sailing with Neven.
Neven provided a fantastic sailing experience! We sailed for the majority of the trip! He is very experienced, safe, and a pleasure to be around. The marinas and island towns were really fun to visit. The boat was spacious, very comfortable, well-equipped, and well-maintained. Breakfast and snacks on the boat were delicious. We are so grateful for the experience Neven provided. We rate him 5 stars and highly recommend his boating services.
Had the best trip. Shipper was great as well.
the boat is fabulous; with spacious cabins; comfortable interior and exterior space; everything worked perfectly; The perfect sailing navigation; Luka has been our Skipper, he took us to beautiful places sailing 100 percent safe; he has also been very kind and helped us at all times. I would definitely recommend renting this sailboat and Luka as Skipper
I would highly recommend the Bavaria 46. My family of four hired the boat in August to sail around Croatia for 3 nights and everything was fantastic. Neveen was extremely helpful in answering our questions after booking and our skipper Luka was fantastic with my kids, made restaurant recommendations for us and helped us with our onward travel to Dubrovnik. The boat is very well equipped with everything you need and extremely comfortable. Thank you for such an amazing experience 😍
The boat is very comfortable, Neven is very nice and communicates well with his customers. Our skipper Luka was very friendly and professional. He took very good care of us, took us to great places and great restaurants. We had a great week and we highly recommend!
We had a very good time on the boat. Everything you need to have good time in the archipelago of Split. Good guidence of Valentin with good knowledge of where to experience the best places. We will come back for sure.
Very good stay spent on the Marinas. Neven was very present to answer my many preliminary questions as a novice: reassuring and practical. The boat is comfortable and well maintained. The masks, snorkels and fins are present in several sizes and in good condition. The presence of paddles allows you to discover the creeks. Neve skippered us for 3 days: smiling, clear in her explanations, involving our teenagers, reassuring, attentive to our desires and good advice to jointly establish the program. We wanted to spend the 2 nights at anchor, our only regret was having to run the engine several times just to recharge the battery consumed by the fridges.
Veleri in optimal conditions, easy preparation and the owner gave us facilities and brought us from the Rentals a car to the marina. The Borna boss, a professional, discreet, attentive, friendly and helpful. 3 full days tour around Brac and Hvar, stopping at secluded coves and enjoying the Adriatic unbeatable Thank you Borna and Neven
Excellent trip over 3 days in the very capable hands of Luka. Areas suggested for swimming, mooring and eating were all very good as well as sailing between islands.
Nevan’s boat is nice for 6 people. Luka, the skipper was a nice guy to get to know. I wish there was a coffee maker onboard, but otherwise everything was fantastic. Thank you for the 4 day split island trip
Neven is always listening to her passengers, Marina remains a beautiful boat despite her age. It was perfect Fred, Gwen, Louanne and Maeline
Really big thanks for our skipper, Luka! Wonderful service and happy attitude. For future customers it would be good to let them know that cash payment is preferred for skipper fee & cleaning. Looking forward to perhaps sailing with you in the future!
Neven was very open and helpful from the time we approached him through clickandboat. The whole experience was amazing. Luka was out skipper for three days who had a lot of knowledge about the islands around split. He made sure that we had a great time. He helped us organize kayak trips, bike tours, restaurant reservation, and was very helpful on board. The boat was perfect for 6 people which included all the necessary amenities including paddle board, snorkeling masks, fins, and kitchen accessories for cooking. After three days we felt like it was not enough :D Will definitely come back.
We had the most amazing time on board, thank you so much :-) Our skipper Luka took us everywhere we wanted, under sail, under motor, and took good care of our family. For our kids, age 10 and 12, it was their first time on a yacht and they enjoyed it so much that they want to come back again next year!
It was top!!!
We had the most incredible few days sailing around Hvar and Vis. The boat was perfect for x6 people (x3 couples). Our Skipper Luka was extremely helpful and very flexible in recommending us the best places to swim, visit and eat. Highly recommend asking for restaurants and guidance at each port/location. We will certainly be back for more. Thank you so much Neven & Luka!
Five days at sea with Neven was a wonderful experience for us (family of 5). He is a friendly, very professional, flexible skipper who meets all requests as much as possible (night navigation, discovery of restaurants, local customs, activities, depending on the island), a real butler (organization of all these alongside) The boat marinas, despite its age, is very comfortable for 5, well renovated and very well equipped. We are ready to leave with Neven to discover new Croatian islands!
Great skipper, great hostess, awesome all around experience. We went on a short charter and didn't sailed all that much (wind conditions), but Neven still showed to be a safe pair of hands. If you hire him as your skipper, all you gotta do is vibe out. The boat is quite a bit older, but Neven does a great job maintaining it, the wear&tear was hardly visible, certainly not what you'd expect from a 2008 boat. Also, Jelena's cooking is amazing, do yourself a favor and book the hostess option! Otherwise, it's a Bavaria 46, you know what to expect. Or if you are like me and you don't, then here's my advice: for 6 guests, it's ok but certainly only book it with close friends that you don't mind being very close to; but for 2 guests this size of boat was the ultimate luxury. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Neven!
Together with 4 friends we spent 1 week with Neven and Marinas (the boat), and it was memorable. Neven is a skilled and professional skipper with many years of experience in the sector and he knows very well the area. He was very flexible and proactive on our requests and he showed us hidden beaches and local restaurants of the islands around Split, which was priceless! At the arrival we agreed on the main places we wanted to visit/activities do to, also based on the weather conditions and then we adjusted the route accordingly during the week. He also helped us with some administrative tasks e.g. Covid test, Ports booking, booking bike tour which facilitated a lot our stay. The boat is recently renovated and in good conditions, comfortable for 5 guests like we were. We appreciated the many options of the boat that might not be found in other charters e.g. speakers, paddle board, snorkeling equipment, full kitchen equipment etc.. Overall we highly recommend Neven and Marinas! Thanks again Neven, Daniela
Our family of four enjoyed a very special experience sailing for four days ! Thanks to a large degree to Luka and Nina, who took care of us and made sure we could relax and witness great sights, sailing, food and culture !
