How can I choose the right charter boat for me?
Most of the clients already have an idea what type of boat they look for (size, cabins, equipment). For family sailing we kindly advice Beneteau Oceanis line or one of our Fountaine Pajot Catamarans. For regatta's and sailing fans we can provide Beneteau First models such as First 27, First 36, First 44 or First 53 to be rented with or without skipper.
Consider the needs of your crew, how many baths should the boat have, which type of mainsail you prefer and wheter you need a air condition or generator, if you plan to avoid marinas and stay mostly on anchor.
What is the cost of yacht charter Croatia?
The cost of yacht charter Croatia depends on a couple of different things. Motor (powered) boats are usually the most expensive than sailing boats or catamarans. The larger sailing yachts and the more crew it uses, the more expensive it will be. Newer yachts are also more expensive than the older or classic yachts. All our charter boats are maintained and fully checked each year. Catamarans are also quite expensive charter option, because of the comfort that it provides.
Charter term and duration also determines cost. Most yacht charter clients charter for one week or two weeks, just few do more than two weeks in a row. By booking until end of January you can get early booking discount. If you prefer Last minute charter you can get good prices but with less options for choosing and finding a boat that you desire or choosing destination that you wish.
Prices in our Price list goes from 1.250€/week to 20.000€/week depending of term, boat size and model. Price includes VAT.
You can always request an informative offer where all cost will be provided (with discount) and also informative offer for cost during the week like mooring cost and diesel.

What do I need when sailing with kids?
Please inform us on time if you have kids on board and about their height and weight, so we can organize a life jacket on time. Otherwise you can bring their own life jacket from home. Do not forget: hat, sun-cream, mosquito repellent cream, sailing shoes, sunglasses etc. Cover your kid with light white T-shirt between 11:00-16:00 hour (sun protection). The boat can be very slippery, so let the kids have rubber shoes most of the time. Children on board don't need much. The boat itself is fun to explore for them. Especially like to play with the dinghy and jump into sea from the stern. When renting a boat, pay attention to the cockpit, stern and always take a boat with proper Bimini.
Teach your child to take part in the ship's duties and enjoy the time together. Even withouth TV or smartphone you can have a very pleasant time with card games, chess, drawing or fishing etc. Avoid to eat sweet while sitting in the cockpit because of the bees. Choose a shorter daily routes and bays where they can buy ice cream and have a "good run". Penciles, paper, books and favourite teddy bear should not be forgotten.

What do I need to pack when sailing Croatia?
The most important is to remember to bring any personal items (passports, skippers licence) as well as medication. Softer luggage is better to fitting into lockers on the boats and as always on holidays advice is to bring the least baggage. You will need sun hats, sun glasses, light summer clothing, trainers, not slippery shoes, swimmingsuits and for evening or dinning in restaurants „smart casual“. If sailing in May, June and September then it is good to bring your own sailing suit or sailing jacket and warmer clothing (for evening or in case of colder weather).
