Rara Avis Yacht Description
Deck life nailed. RARA AVIS is a 33m (108ft) custom-built motor sailing yacht (built 2018) that leans hard into outdoor living: a sundeck Jacuzzi ringed by sun pads, plus an aft deck set up for proper alfresco dining. This is where the day goes. On purpose.
Easy water access. Dual stairs lead down to the swim platform, so getting in and out of the sea (and back up for lunch) stays painless. There’s also a deck shower for the quick rinse before you rejoin the table.
Toys that matter. The watersports line-up is built for families and mixed abilities: Jet Ski, waterskis, wakeboard, paddleboards, kayaks/canoe, plus towables like a ringo and tube, with snorkelling and light fishing gear for the slower-paced crew. Two tenders (including a 7m tender with 150hp) keep launches and beach drops efficient.
12 guests, six cabins. She sleeps 12 in 6 en-suite cabins: 1 master, 1 VIP, 2 doubles, and 2 twins that convert to doubles. Air conditioning and Wi‑Fi are on board, with a TV saloon for downtime and an outdoor cinema setup when you want a movie night without going inside.

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a sailboat like Rara Avis, the expected APA is 15% to 30% of the charter price (€9,750 - €19,500), making the charter cost €74,750 to €84,500. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.

Reviews
Almost one year has passed and our family and friends are here again. Beautiful country, amazing staff, it was a pleasure to spend time here. Thank you for taking care of us and celebrating with us.
September 2025 Rara Avis Crew - Our time in Croatia has been nothing short of extraordinary. To see this beautiful country from the sea – its breathtaking landscapes, hidden coves, and charming towns – has been a gift we will never forget. Beyond the scenery, it’s the laughter we shared, the meals together, and the warmth of the culture and people that have touched us
most deeply. None of this would have been possible without the care, kindness, and effort of the crew, who made us feel at home every step of the way. We leave with full hearts, immense gratitude, and memories that will stay with us always.

Croatia has been on my “bucket list” for awhile and the crew has made it a very memorable trip. The food was superb and more than was expected. We had plenty to do on the yacht and all our excursions were planned perfectly. My family really enjoyed themselves and so did I. My plan has been to leave them with lots of wonderful memories and your crew has gone above and beyond. Thank you to all for a fabulous vacation!
