Big Blue Sailing Yacht Hire

Big Blue is a 2023 Hanse 458 sailing yacht based at Marina Mandalina in Sibenik, Croatia. The hull is 14.04 m long with a 4.38 m beam and a 1.80 m draft, which puts this yacht in the mid-size performance cruiser class used on Kornati channels and open Adriatic crossings. Auxiliary power is a 57 hp engine. The interior sleeps ten guests across four cabins. There is no resident crew on this listing: the yacht is offered as bareboat, so a skipper you hire or a qualified party named on the booking form takes the helm.

Sibenik sits on the Krka estuary with quick access to the Kornati National Park, Zlarin, Prvic, and the Skradin river approach. Saturday changeover at this marina is typically 17:00 boarding and 08:30 return. A refundable security deposit of 2500 EUR is published with the weekly bands. Transit log, tourist tax, and marina extras sit outside the charter fee and should be confirmed on the booking form before you travel.

Weekly charter is published from 2595 EUR in the quieter months to 6320 EUR at the height of summer. Those figures are weekly, not daily. Fuel, marina nights away from the base, and a skipper if you add one are extra. The Hanse 458 cockpit and saloon suit a family or two couples plus children: wide benches, a drop-down transom for swimming, and a galley that can be provisioned in Sibenik town before you leave the quay.

Big Blue is the 2023 458 with four cabins and the 14.04 m length stated here. Photos on this page show this yacht: white hull, teak cockpit, and the four-cabin interior. Published kit on the charter sheet includes a full-batten mainsail, self-tacking jib, bimini, sprayhood, teak cockpit, bow thruster, and autopilot. Water tankage is around 500 litres and fuel around 160 litres.

If you want a newer Hanse from Sibenik for a Kornati week, book this yacht by name. Write Big Blue, 2023, Marina Mandalina, and the 2595 to 6320 EUR weekly band on the enquiry so the base keeps you on this hull rather than another 458 in the same marina.
