Marina Lav, anchored in Podstrana's Le Méridien Lav resort, operates a substantial operational fleet of motor yachts—ranging from 40 to 60 feet—designed for regional charter scale and sophisticated Adriatic exploration. Boat4You manages this expanded fleet to serve diverse group sizes, corporate retreats, and extended multi-week voyages across the Split region and beyond. With a depth of inventory unavailable at smaller bases, Marina Lav delivers flexibility, choice, and professional fleet management.
The fleet comprises four operational classes: compact 40-footers (4–6 guests), mid-size 45-footers (6–8 guests), premium 50-footers (8–10 guests), and luxury 55–60-footers (10–12 guests). Each vessel maintains identical standards: air-conditioned cabins, modern galleys, comprehensive navigation and safety systems, and professional management through Boat4You's charter operations team. Seasonal rotation and maintenance schedules ensure availability year-round.
Podstrana's proximity to Split Airport (25 km), combined with Marina Lav's five-star resort setting and full-service infrastructure, makes it ideal for managing larger charter portfolios. Multiple vessels allowto accommodate back-to-back group bookings, corporate events, and fleet-management requirements. Guest drop-off, provisioning logistics, and crew rotations operate seamlessly within the resort framework.
From Marina Lav, motor yachts access the entire Split region: northward to Kornati National Park (50 nm, overnight transit), westward toward Vis and Komiža (40 nm, two-day expedition), and southward toward Omiš and the Cetina canyon (20 nm, day trip). The Mosor mountains form the eastern backdrop; island chains (Brač, Šolta, Hvar) cluster within 30 nautical miles.

Our partner network operates a dedicated fleet-management program: monthly engine servicing, annual haul-outs, biennial certification renewals, and continuous safety equipment checks. A full-time technician is stationed at Marina Lav, ensuring rapid response to any mechanical issue. Insurance, documentation, and regulatory compliance are handled centrally, eliminating crew worry.
Larger groups (20+ guests) book multiple coordinated yachts, creating a "mini-fleet" experience. Boat4You arranges synchronized departures, coordinated anchorages, and shared provisioning logistics. Corporate retreats, wedding parties, and extended family vacations benefit from this scale. Group rates apply; contact Boat4You's charter specialists for custom proposals.
Peak season (July–August) fills the entire fleet; shoulder seasons (April–May, September–October) offer better availability and pricing. Winter bookings are rare but possible; manages off-season charters with professional skippers and gale-forecasting support. Early booking (8–12 weeks advance) secures vessel selection and preferred departure dates.
Marina Lav's infrastructure supports simultaneous multi-vessel operations: dedicated fuel dock (high-volume supply), water tanks, waste reception areas, and secure parking. A professional reception office manages check-in/check-out, guest briefings, and emergency communications. Le Méridien Lav's shore facilities—restaurants, showers, laundry—provide support for crews between charters.
A typical 7-day charter from Podstrana covers: Brač (Day 1), Hvar (Day 2–3), Vis and Komiža (Day 4–5), return via Šolta (Day 6), and home to Podstrana (Day 7). Extended 10–14-day voyages explore Kornati National Park, Zadar, and the northern Adriatic. Motor yachts provide flexibility—fast transits between islands or leisurely coastal cruising, adapting to crew preferences and weather windows.
Marina Lav maintains a roster of professional skippers, engineers, and stewardesses available on request. Boat4You matches crew expertise to your group's experience level: bareboat charters with guidance, skippered charters with navigation handled, or fully crewed charters with catering and hospitality. Multi-day or multi-week voyages benefit from professional crew management.
Yes. Boat4You coordinates back-to-back reservations, allowing multi-week continuity. Some guests maintain the same cabin layout across weeks, easing family transitions and crew familiarity.
The fleet accommodates groups of 4 to 180+ guests (12 guests per yacht, yachts maximum). Larger gatherings require coordinated marina bookings and may exceed Marina Lav's berth availability; arranges overflow to nearby ACI Marina Split or Split-region facilities.
Professional crews on yachts carry valid ICC, RYA, or equivalent certifications. For bareboat charters, guest captains must provide valid credentials. Boat4You's qualification review ensures all crew meet international standards.
Catering partners deliver pre-cooked meals, fresh produce, and specialty items directly to Marina Lav yachts. The resort's restaurants offer advance group menus. Independent provisioning from Podstrana markets or Split supermarkets is encouraged for dietary preferences.

Booking a yacht charter abroad should feel reassuring, not stressful. Boat4You keeps every step transparent — from the initial search and quotation through contract signature, payment, and on-the-day handover. You see the vessel, the inventory, the operator's certifications, and the total price up front. No surprise surcharges, no small-print escape clauses for the operator, no mysterious pre-authorisations.
Our charter specialists are available before, during, and after your trip. We speak your language, we know the fleets, and we help resolve issues — from last-minute weather reroutes to minor equipment glitches — quickly and without bureaucracy. That is the difference a broker with real local relationships makes.
Soft bags only (hard suitcases will not fit in most cabins). Layered clothing — mornings and evenings cool down, midday sun is intense. Non-marking deck shoes or quality flip-flops. Reef-safe sunscreen, polarised sunglasses, a wide-brim hat, and a waterproof phone pouch. A personal snorkel and mask if you dislike shared gear. Any prescription medication, clearly labelled, in its original packaging.
Your skipper will provide a full safety briefing before departure — life-jacket locations, EPIRB, flares, fire extinguishers, engine kill-switch, man-overboard procedure, and VHF usage. Listen carefully, ask questions, and make sure every adult aboard knows the basics. Good preparation is the quiet foundation of every relaxed charter.
Plans change. Weather changes. Life changes. That is why every booking includes clear cancellation terms and optional charter-cancellation insurance. If illness, family emergency, or border restrictions force a last-minute change, you are protected — and we help you find alternative dates or transfer the booking where the operator allows it.
Most operators request 30–50% at contract signing, with the balance due 4–6 weeks before departure. Exact terms appear on your quotation before you commit.
Usually yes, subject to fleet availability and any operator handling fee. Request the change as early as possible; mid-season swaps are harder than off-season.
Yes. Most operators block a refundable deposit on your credit card at check-in, typically €2,000–€5,000 depending on vessel. A damage-waiver upgrade reduces or eliminates this hold — ask your consultant for the specific options on your chosen boat.
Clients book again with us because the experience is simple, human, and reliable. We do the boring parts — contract clauses, fleet vetting, port paperwork, emergency contacts — so you focus on the sailing. We hold operators accountable when something slips, we remember your preferences from trip to trip, and we treat every booking as if it were our own.
Yes — split weeks, multi-boat fleet charters for larger parties, and mixed bareboat-and-skippered packages are all possible. Tell us your group size and dates; our consultants assemble the options.
We coordinate all of it on request: airport transfers, pre-charter hotel nights, skipper-led provisioning runs, crew transfers between ports. Everything on one invoice, one point of contact.
