Lotus
Luxury sailing yacht LOTUS for cruising the Dalmatian Coast in Croatia. The boat is absolutely stunning, in perfect condition, just arrived in Croatia at the end of the August, which up until then was used for private holidays by its previous Italian owner, who kept her in Turkey and obviously didn't spend a lot of time on her, as her engines had only 300 working hours at the time of purchase. Lotus couldn't be in better hands; she is now an object of family business and each member of family is a musician, playing at least 2 instruments but also they are experienced sailors with impressive background in the yacht charter industry. Lotus is the 2nd charter vessel in the family, but their complete focus is now on Lotus as their plan is to sell their older vessel and put all their knowledge and experience in to the success of Lotus. She sleeps 8 guests in 2 master cabins (with king size double beds), 1 double cabin and 1 twin cabin. All of the interior is tastefully decorated to the highest standard like a 5 star hotel. Enjoy!

The crew (specified above), water, electricity, clean bed linen, clean shower and sunbathing towels (changed at least twice a week), a free welcome drink, fuel for 4 hours cruising a day (which is usually more than enough), Wi-Fi Internet connection, personal injury insurance while on the boat, and free use of onboard equipment specified above.
​
Charter price doesn't include
Harbour fees (see above for estimate of cost, which can be reduced by anchoring outside the ports on some nights), meals & other drinks aboard (specified above), transfers between the airport and boat, National Park entrance fees and tips to the crew.
​
Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA) is a percentage of the charter price to be paid in advance to cover your expenses during the cruise, such as meals, drinks, harbour fees, etc. The APA is held on account on your behalf and at the end of the week the total of all your expenses will be deducted and the balance will be refunded to you (it does not include tips to the crew, which need to be paid separately). Not all boats ask for an APA (see above) but ask for meals and all-inclusive drinks to be paid on arrival and harbour fees to be paid locally as you arrive in each port.
​
The boats' charter season is usually from the beginning of May to the end of October and this is usually divided into 3 price periods, with Low Season usually comprising May & October, Mid Season usually comprising June & September, and High Season usually comprising July & August. Some boats, however, can have as few as 2 different pricing periods and some as many as 4 or even 5, and the dates for these can vary, so if you are confused, which is understandable, please don't hesitate to
