About Bareboat Catamaran BASA
BASA is a Catana Bali 4.8 catamaran purpose-built for independent sailing in Croatia's waters. Her dual-hull design delivers stability and shallow-draft capability ideal for navigating the Adriatic's limestone archipelago. Six cabins accommodate up to ten guests across four double and two twin configurations, each with ensuite facilities. The open-plan saloon features a garage-style door that dissolves the boundary between interior and deck, creating a naturally ventilated social hub that works equally well for entertaining or quiet retreats.
Externally, BASA prioritises comfort and utility. Twin trampolines and sunbathing pads occupy the foredeck, the flybridge offers unobstructed sightlines across island-studded horizons, and the cockpit design suits both active sailing and leisurely anchorage. Equipment includes dinghy tender, ice maker, coffee station, and electric facilities throughout. Water toys such as kayaks and paddleboards may be arranged separately.

The Charter Experience
Bareboat charter in Croatia demands valid skipper credentials; alternatively, engage a professional skipper who becomes part of your party and shares meals aboard. From Split or Dubrovnik, routes naturally flow between Hvar, Korcula, and the protected waters of Mljet National Park. The Adriatic's reliable thermal breezes and calm summer swells suit both novice and accomplished helms. Secluded anchorages, Byzantine stone towns, and unspoilt coves characterise the Dalmatian coastline. Provisioning and fuel are straightforward; services and facilities match European standards.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week departs Split, heading south along the Dalmatian coast. Day one reaches Hvar town, where Venetian fortifications and waterfront restaurants anchor the evening. Subsequent days explore Pakleni Islands' secluded bays, push south to Korcula's walled harbour, and venture into Mljet National Park's saltwater lakes. Return routes via Lopud and the Elaphite Islands offer final anchorages before the homeport, with flexibility to linger wherever conditions and mood suggest.
