Bareboat Sailing Yacht Oceanis 45

The Beneteau Oceanis 45 offers straightforward, well-proven cruising for those with a skipper's licence. Built in 2017, she combines accessible handling with genuine comfort for six guests across three double cabins. Twin helms allow clear visibility of both sides, while all lines and electronics remain within easy reach of the helmsman, making her responsive without fuss. Her 15-degree sailing angle maintains stability whether you're trimming sails or relaxing below deck.

Below, the yacht rewards thoughtful design. The companionway sits at 45 degrees, making it gentle even in moderate seas, whilst the L-shaped galley provides proper cooking space without isolating you from the saloon's gathering area. Two heads serve the three cabins efficiently. A teak deck with large transoms creates a proper bathing platform aft, whilst bow thruster and lazy jack eliminate needless complications during anchorage and sail handling.

Croatia's Adriatic coast presents one of Europe's most rewarding sailing grounds. Base yourself from Trogir (a medieval harbour town) or Split and discover the country's famed thousand islands within easy reach. The Croatian coast fuses Mediterranean warmth with genuine culture; quaint stone towns, four national parks, and vibrant evening scenes await. Whether you seek immersion in protected anchorages or prefer Split's bustling waterfront, bareboat sailing here suits confident crews who value self-reliance and authentic exploration over structured itineraries.
