A good boating break needs comfort, a sensible route and room to improvise. Sunset Goldstar 440S brings those elements together for a departure from Sukosan, with mornings that can be active and evenings that settle naturally near Zadar. The 3-cabin, 2-bathroom layout helps friends who prefer a few well-chosen stops organise luggage, rest and common areas without fuss. A first night near Petrčane leaves the option of continuing towards Preko or keeping the programme more relaxed.

Sunset Goldstar 440S: layout, dimensions and a route with breathing room — Sukosan, Zadar and a route for friends who prefer a few well-chosen stops

  • Model: Goldstar 440S
  • Year: 2009
  • Maximum capacity: 8 people
  • Cabins: 3
  • Bathrooms: 2
  • Length: 13,60 m approx.
  • Beam: 4,10 m approx.
  • Draft: 1,10 m approx.
  • Weekly price: From €2,500/week

As a guide, the price starts at €2,500/week. The booking is much clearer when confirmation lists consumption, cleaning, berths, extras and deposit terms. The party can then plan the remaining budget for food and time ashore.

The character of Sunset Goldstar 440S is clearest from the deck: 13,60 m approx. of length for sharing roles and 4,10 m approx. of beam so common life is not confined to the table. This 2009 yacht is attractive for friends who prefer a few well-chosen stops, especially when Zadar opens the day and Preko remains an alternative.

Life on board is organised around 3 cabins and 2 bathrooms. 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 Sukosan.

Sunset Goldstar 440S measures 13,60 m approx. by 4,10 m approx. Those proportions are welcome during the stay, especially when sharing the deck, and worth remembering on the approach to Petrčane. With a draft of 1,10 m approx., shelter is chosen according to depth and actual conditions.

The waters around Sukosan allow the day to be shaped as it unfolds. If Zadar is busy, an alternative can be chosen before continuing to Petrčane; when the wind helps, Preko extends the route. A comfortable return remains part of the plan.

Choosing Sunset Goldstar 440S 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 Sukosan into several memorable days.

Three ways to cruise from Sukosan on Sunset Goldstar 440S — Sunset Goldstar 440S on a flexible course towards Preko · suited to friends who prefer a few well-chosen stops

Two days from Sukosan: cruising, swimming and a night near Petrčane — cruising towards Zadar with room for Preko

The return from Petrčane starts with room for fuel, harbour queues and the joint inspection in Sukosan. The interior is tidied before the final mile, waste is checked and manoeuvring gear remains accessible. Dropping a late stop usually gives the holiday a better ending.

Departure from Sukosan leaves enough daylight for the crew to learn Sunset Goldstar 440S before the first berth. The course towards Zadar includes a long pause for swimming, a simple meal and a decision about continuing. That first stop sets the tone for the whole experience.

    Earlier notice of the exact meeting point would have helped. Once aboard, the route to Zadar made up for the wait.

    Sunset Goldstar 440S had the space we wanted for talking, cooking and resting without feeling crowded.

    Wind changed the Preko plan, although the alternative was explained early and we enjoyed a full day near Petrčane.

Time aboard Sunset Goldstar 440S between Zadar, Petrčane and Preko — cruising towards Zadar with room for Preko

The departure improves when everybody arrives in good time; nobody must learn everything, but everybody knows whom to ask. As the water opens near Zadar, the swimming stop is chosen for shelter and depth, not only photographs. When choosing between Petrčane and Preko, a nearby alternative preserves good humour and a daylight arrival. Before the party divides the cabins for the night, one well-chosen stop matters more than a long list.

With provisions already stowed below, a calm explanation turns the first manoeuvre into part of the holiday. With the boat settled on its course, lunch can wait until a genuinely comfortable bay appears. If Petrčane looks busy on arrival, an updated forecast makes a change of plan feel entirely normal. The final conversation of the day often begins on deck; the morning plan is discussed without turning it into a duty.

Before setting a course for Zadar, lines, fenders and documents are located before the engine starts. In the opening miles on Sunset Goldstar 440S, conversation gives way to quiet moments watching the horizon. If the wind changes during the afternoon, the simpler choice leaves time to cook, swim or go ashore. A night near Petrčane is more enjoyable; everybody puts belongings away and common areas feel open again.

As the harbour wakes around Sunset Goldstar 440S, the crew discusses the route and keeps one simple alternative. Once Sukosan begins to fall astern, one person keeps watch while another checks position and the next mark. While daylight still allows two shelters to be compared, depth, swinging room and the morning exit matter more than reputation. As evening settles over Sunset Goldstar 440S, the crew discovers that slow travel can still feel far-reaching.

Sunset Goldstar 440S equipment: what to locate during handover — from Sukosan to Petrčane aboard Sunset Goldstar 440S

Handover is the best time to walk through Sunset Goldstar 440S calmly and connect each item with a real situation. Nobody needs to memorise everything: several people should know where essential equipment is kept, how it is left after use and whom to call if something differs from the agreement.

  • Deck and anchoring. Before leaving Sukosan, the crew locates «anchor», «windlass» and «fenders». Lines and fenders remain accessible, while the person calling the berth agrees simple signals with everybody else. That preparation helps on arrival at Petrčane, especially in a busy harbour or crosswind.
  • Comfort on board. The use of «refrigerator», «air conditioning» and «hot water» is clarified before provisions and luggage are stowed. Knowing what draws power, needs ventilation or must be closed under way keeps common areas pleasant during the night near Petrčane.

With these references clear, Sunset Goldstar 440S is easier to share. The crew can change the stage between Zadar and Preko without losing time to searches, and handover in Sukosan becomes more orderly.

Common questions about Sunset Goldstar 440S, life aboard and the route to Petrčane

What luggage fits comfortably in the cabins on Sunset Goldstar 440S? · Zadar · travellers interested in coastal villages

Before boarding Sunset Goldstar 440S, share common items so the group does not carry several of everything. A compact washbag, protected chargers, a reusable bottle and quick-drying clothes take little room. The 3 cabins should not become storage rooms. Handover confirms linen, blankets, towels and water equipment; anything already supplied can stay at home. The group can adjust it during handover while the base can still help.
