Velero Bavaria 46 Cruiser (2008)

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. Marinas is under constant refit since joining our fleet in 2021. She now has new fridges, solar panels, sails, bimini, sprayhood, bedclothes, floorboards, dingy… Considering years spent in charter she appears far better than any 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. Our base port is Zenta, small marina some 15 min walking distance to the Split city center. Check in – 9 AM Check out – 6 PM

WHAT TO EXPECT ONE Day charter - we are staying within the triangle of Split, Island Brač and Island Šolta. We can visit one of the Island villages with swim stop and lunch in the middle of a day. With two-hour navigation both ways there is enough time to choose focus on sailing, swimming, exploring local places…. 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. Hvar town and Pakleni Islands are is also comfortably reachable within 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 experience. Please note that the average daily price is lower the more days you choose to book.

CREW Our crew is assembled by local skippers, sailing experts, that have spent most of their lives on boats or around boats.

Neve has started sailing more than 20 years ago and has been part of Frapa Woman Sailing Team ever since. She is sailing instructor and kinesiology professor. She has vast local knowledge and contacts, she is full of stories, legends and very comfortable person to be with. If you are thinking to learn about sailing there is no one better to be with.
