From the pontoon in Zadar, Oceanis 40.1 – 3 cab feels like a comfortable base for opening the chart towards Petrčane. Its appeal is not the number of destinations reached, but the quality of time between a manoeuvre, a shared meal and the next anchorage. With room for 8 people, 3 cabins and 1 bathroom, it works particularly well for friends who prefer a few well-chosen stops. With Privlaka as the middle stop, the route can extend to Nin or return to shelter without making the experience feel incomplete.

Oceanis 40.1 – 3 cab measures 12,87 m by 4,18 m. Those proportions are welcome during the stay, especially when sharing the deck, and worth remembering on the approach to Privlaka. With a draft of 1,68-2,27 m depending on keel, shelter is chosen according to depth and actual conditions.
Time on Oceanis 40.1 – 3 cab changes with the pace of the party. At 12,87 m long and 4,18 m wide, this 2023 sailing yacht can give friends who prefer a few well-chosen stops either an active day or a break built around a few selected stops. The best result comes when Privlaka is enjoyed in its own right, not merely as a step towards Nin.
The coast north of Zadar gives this trip a character built around short stages and unhurried observation. Petrčane offers an approachable opening; afterwards, Privlaka invites the crew to consider draft, shelter and available room before choosing a berth or anchorage. Nin changes the setting with shallower water and a more delicate approach, so it should never be treated as an automatic arrival. On Oceanis 40.1 – 3 cab, this route works best with early decisions, close attention to depth and enough time to enjoy each stop without adding another through habit.
The route does not need a chain of destinations. A passage to Petrčane, a long lunch and an easy afternoon near Privlaka often offer more than a late arrival at Nin. Oceanis 40.1 – 3 cab supports that change of pace without losing the sense of travel.
Life on board is organised around 3 cabins and 1 bathroom. For a party of up to 8 people, common areas are best kept for meals and rest, with luggage inside the cabins. That leaves the cockpit and deck passages clear from the departure in Zadar.
The starting price is €2,500/week. A simple list of inclusions and extras, particularly fuel, cleaning, harbours and skipper, keeps the final day free from avoidable questions about payment.
Choosing Oceanis 40.1 – 3 cab makes sense for travellers who value time on board as much as the destinations. The balance of cruising, rest and shared life turns a departure from Zadar into several memorable days.
