Highlights
■ ABOUT S/Y “FREEDOM”
"FREEDOM" is a Bavaria 44 featuring a timeless sailboat design and exceptional German craftsmanship, fully rebuilt in 2022. The sailboat has 4 cabins and 2 heads, and usually, 6 people stay in 3 of the rooms. The fourth, smallest cabin is used by the skipper. (Additional people can be accommodated by converting the main table in the saloon—this comes at an extra cost, and you should be aware that the boat will feel quite full with this option.) FREEDOM can only be chartered with a skipper, who is also the owner of the sailboat and knows the boat very well. This Bavaria model is one of the most solidly built and is literally a fundamental boat used in the rise of the Croatian yacht charter industry. The sailboat also has an air-conditioned front cabin.
■ AVAILABILITY
The sailboat is available for rentals starting on ANY number of days (1 day, 2 days, 3 days, etc.) and on ANY start day—not just from Saturday to Saturday. This is a crucial difference between a sailboat-focused charter company like ours and regular charter companies, which must follow the Saturday-to-Saturday model due to their larger, more rigid maintenance and staffing structures.
■ PRICE
A great advantage is that the skipper cost is included in the price (the skipper also does not need food), and there is no transit log. The only things not included in the price are third-party costs such as fuel and yacht marinas. So, even if at first the price may seem higher, in the end, it is actually lower compared to usual yacht charters that add many extra costs (like outboard motor, passenger state taxes, boat cleaning, etc.)
