Morning star
Sailing holidays in Croatia & Dalmatian Coast on the gulet MORNING STAR, which is uniquely designed to evoke a bygone era of traditional wooden boats. From her elegant hull to her handcrafted cherry wood interiors and furniture, she has the grace, class and elegance of a traditional yacht, yet has the amenities of a modern one. The aft deck, with cushioned sofas and a large wooden dining table, offers an abundance of space for lounging during the day and also during the warm evenings. The mahogany interior of MORNING STAR is tastefully decorated to give a real sense of luxury and is fully air-conditioned throughout with individual temperature control in each cabin. She has 6 cabins consisting of 2 double (135×200 cm), 2 twin (2 x 145×200 cm) and 2 triple (double bed 145×200 cm & a bunk 80×200 cm) sleeping up to 12 adults and 2 children (in the bunks).

Charter price includes
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
