The 4 cabin’s bareboat sailing yacht Grand Soleil 46.3 was built in 2004 and it is docked in Sibenik, Croatia. The Grand Soleil 46.3 (2004) can accommodate up to 8 people in 4 cabins and it has 2 toilets. The overall length of the boat is 47 ft / 14,3 m. The main equipment (find the complete list on the ’Equipments’ tab): air condition, stand up paddle (sup) and it’s obligatory extras: transit log. The main sail is full batten. You can check-in from 18:00 h and check-out until 09:00 h.
Why charter this Grand Soleil 46.3
4 cabins for 8 berths means about 2 guests per cabin, so bag storage and sleeping turns are clear before departure. 4 guests per head matters on early marina mornings, when showers, breakfast and casting off compete for time. At 14,3 m, this sailing yacht works best when swim stops still leave time for the evening berth.
Best charter fit
Grand Soleil 46.3 suits crews comparing cabin separation, luggage storage and bathroom timing across 4 cabins and 2 heads. Sailing crews should keep one fallback leg for wind shifts, late sea state and the final marina return.
The Šibenik channel and the Krka from Šibenik
Šibenik is a full Dalmatian city, not a marina town: stone lanes climbing to two hilltop Venetian forts, the UNESCO-listed Cathedral of St James at its heart, and the deep, fjord-like Šibenik channel running past it to the sea. Prvić, Zlarin and Kaprije, small and car-free, lie just off the city, so the opening days are easy: with an afternoon maestral, Zlarin is a short reach in the lee; with less daylight, little is lost by starting next morning. Split Airport (SPU) is a 50–70-minute drive, with Zadar (ZAD) about the same to the north. A week can stay among the city’s channel, the near islands and the Krka upriver without a long passage. The one commitment is the run out toward Murter and the Kornati, so time it for settled conditions and turn back inside the sheltered channels before the last day.
